Love the food here. The service is hit or miss, sometimes good, sometimes they are rude and irrespectful. Maybe one day will they reflect on that.

Absolutely loved this spot! The grilled skewers were packed with flavor — juicy lamb, tender squid, and perfectly seasoned veggies. The roasted garlic eggplant was amazing too, super fragrant and soft. Great atmosphere for a casual night out with friends!

Everything we ordered was delicious. The skewers were freshly grilled with that perfect mix of spice and smokiness — especially the lamb and squid. The garlic eggplant was full of flavor, soft but not oily, and the grilled buns were a great pairing. Definitely one of the best Chinese BBQ places I’ve tried in the Bay Area!

Hubby spotted this place on his way to the gym. We stopped in for dinner. Joined the waitlist and waited a good 30-45 minutes. Interior decor is beautiful. See photos. We felt like we were dining in a private booth. We ordered several skewers. Quail egg: 3/5 justes tasted mushy Pork: 5/5 fatty and tasty Beef: 5/5 very good Beef tendon: 3/5 just ok Chicken skin: 4/5 crispy but probably wouldn’t get this again Gizzard: 4/5 good and chewy Beef tongue: 5/5 good! A- choy: 5/5 very good! Bacon and enochi: 3/5 you get 3, ok Good service, reasonable prices, good amount of meat. All the skewers seemed to have the same seasoning/spices. Glad we tried something new.

The Chinese BBQ here is authentic and very delicious. Even little kids can enjoy the food very much. Not to mention the Guzheng performance, which brings even more joy to eat here!

Always pass by this place after gym every week but there's always line at night so never attempted to go in until today when we're around the area for lunch. I overordered because I thought the meat on the skewers will be tiny since most skewer only costs less than $3 each. But turned out 1 skewer is even enough for 2 to share if you order lots of varieties. We also ordered the spicy potato noodles which has just the right spiciness & the meat was very tender (a little too much bean sprouts lol). The only disappointment is the beef with tripe which was the most expensive @$4. Some tendon are super hard and inedible. It only costs 3 of us $64 total with leftover (noodle, few skewers). Wish there was guzheng performance during weekday lunch. Will definitely be back!
