Little Skewer

I had a great experience at little skewers. The cozy ambiance and attentive service made for a pleasant meal. The dishes was flavorful and well-presented. Recommend!

Good vibe. Authentic Chinese street food. Not too busy during lunchtime but I imagine it’s full during dinner time.

Good skewers at a reasonable price. The skewers default to spicy, but the non spicy options are pretty good too! Good fried milk. Surprisingly busy even on weekdays

The skewers tasted very good, the chicken skin was very crispy, and the spicy hot pot was exactly the same as what I ate in China. The grilled cold noodles were my favorite! I will come again

We ordered pork intestine skewers and lamb skewers all the favors are really good not too salty just perfect taste and it’s pretty filling as well with rice. We also ordered garlic enoki mushroom very spicy level it’s good for ppl who like enoki mushroom but if u cant eat spicy just choose the spicy level. Overall it’s really good 💕

Had a fantastic dining experience! The atmosphere was lively and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything from the appetizer to the drink was top-notch. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

We have to wait for more than a hour but the food is great. We all enjoyed the skewers a lot. The atmosphere is also top notch with a standing singer.

I recently visited Little Skewer, and I have to say, it was an awesome experience! The restaurant has a cozy and vibrant atmosphere that’s perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. As the name suggests, their specialty is skewers, and they offer a wide variety of meats and vegetables grilled to perfection. I tried the lamb skewers, and they were packed with flavor—juicy, tender, and seasoned just right! The grilled veggies were equally delicious, especially the mushrooms and bell peppers, which had a nice smoky touch. The portion sizes were generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth. What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Plus, the food came out pretty quickly, which is always a bonus. If you’re in the mood for something flavorful and fun, Little Skewer is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back to try more of their menu for sure!

This is my second time to have a meal in this restaurant. The atmosphere is very great! They provided lots of skewers and even pizza!

Best affordable Chinese skewer place in the area. This place gets busy fast. Got there around 6 on a weekend, and it was packed already. If you get there and put your name on the waiting list I suggest you ask the staff how long the wait is. The resturant is family friendly. They have a singer that comes in on the weekends to sing, he's pretty good. The atmosphere isn't too bad it's not very loud. I like the relaxing decor of the place. The also have a private room for large groups, but I think you have to reserve that in advance.

One of my favorite restaurants in Diamond Bar. I love the variety of food that they offered. The atmosphere was good and relaxing. I’ve always visited during lunch, and it was never busy. Even my kids enjoyed eating here too.

Great food and an authentic atmosphere! The dishes were full of flavor, and the setting really makes you feel like you’re experiencing a slice of China. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a genuine dining experience.

This place is a hidden gem! The skewers were bursting with bold, authentic flavors, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and carefully sourced. The variety of meats, vegetables, and spices were perfectly balanced, giving an experience that felt both traditional and innovative. Despite being a busy weekend, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us last minute. Their service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for an authentic and flavorful Chinese skewer experience with excellent service, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

Me and my family come here all the time, and it’s always on point! The food’s full of flavor, the skewers are perfect every time, and the vibe just makes you wanna come back again and again.

Before I begin the review, I must first comment on the beautiful smell of cumin that you're hit with upon entry through the entrance. It is amazing. Yelp waitlist to your left, we came here on a Thurs evening around 7 and maybeeee waited a whole 3 minutes? Service is QUICK. You order on the tablet and food magically appears. All the meats are pre-grilled, then placed on the grill on the table for continued warmth. We went with a large variety so honestly, I'm not going into detail on our selection. Just trust, you will not be disappointed. I also strongly recommend the enoki mushrooms!

One of my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Foods are delicious and service is great. Always our go to place during the weekend. The drinks are also delicious and creative. We have tried almost everything on the menu and all of them are delicious. Recommend for more than 2 people so you can order more stuff to try.

Amazing Chinese barbecue restaurant with affordable eats and authentic Chinese northeastern food. The skewers were really good including and beef and lamb which was very flavorful and worth the price. The sour cabbage stew was good and it was very authentic to Chinese northeastern food. The beef rice noodles was also very delicious and the broth was tasty. However, this restaurant has a lot of customers so I recommend coming with some time to spend waiting about 20-30 min. But this place is definitely worth the wait

Dining at Little Skewer is like stepping back in time to the Chinese Dynasties. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is like a costume fantasy film, quite unique and enjoyable. Authentic Chinese skewer barbecue in an old Chinese tavern. They need to expand to other markets, Phoenix is calling 🙏 A perfect date night for an intimate night out, or also suitable for largwr groups and celebrations. If you want to be treated like a visiting dignitary, they even offer private room decorated as stand-alone casitas.

Fun place to eat with friends. Grab some skewers and some cold drinks to have a blast. Delicious food. They are quite busy. The sticky tofu and the cheese durian were a delightful surprise.

I love me some good BBQ skewers. It’s just that good. It’s basically comfort food, is it not? It pairs great with a nice cold beer, or two, or five… We’ve come to enjoy this location of Little Skewers a few times now. Every time has been a great experience. We particularly love the decor, as it really sets your mood when you come to unwind with friends or family. The decor really helps you to enter a mode of relaxation with all the notes about drinking and life, etc. Then there’s the fake meats hanging around all the tables and the interesting way they have the napkin holders hanging all around the fake meats. It’s a great idea and good execution. The food is always top notch. Great skewers all around. We haven’t had a bad skewer. We especially love the lamb skewers, the chicken wing (this thing is huge!) skewer, and the squid. We were skeptical of the durian pizza, but it actually came out great. Don’t think of it as pizza with durian. It’s more of a dessert pizza if that helps. It’s just sweet enough and there’s no marinara sauce. P.S. this spot is not the biggest restaurant, so if you’re coming on a Friday night with a party greater than four people, expect to wait a long time… an hour plus most likely, but it’ll be worth it. Trust the process.

Little Skewer is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the enticing aroma of grilled skewers. The skewers themselves were packed with bold, authentic flavors, and it was evident that the ingredients were fresh and carefully selected. Each bite was a delightful mix of perfectly balanced meats, vegetables, and spices, offering an experience that felt both traditional and innovative. The variety on the menu was impressive, catering to all tastes with a wide selection of meats, including lamb, beef, and chicken, as well as an array of vegetables. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural flavors without overpowering them. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into each skewer, making every bite a memorable one. Despite it being a busy weekend, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us at the last minute. Their service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which added to the overall positive experience. The ambiance of Little Skewer was warm and inviting, with a lively atmosphere that made it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The decor was charming, reflecting the traditional roots of the cuisine while maintaining a modern touch. If you’re looking for an authentic and flavorful Chinese skewer experience with excellent service, this is the spot. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes Little Skewer a standout choice. Highly recommended!

Little Skewer in Diamond Bar is a hidden gem for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful skewers and Asian-inspired cuisine.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Little Skewer is a must-visit for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Highly recommended!

Delicious small bite skewers that really pair well with the ambiance. They have live Chinese singing that can be a bit loud, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The clam vermicelli was hot and savory loaded with clams. Draft beers came out nice and cold. Would love to come back again.

This restaurant takes a"lunch break" between 3-5pm. We went there a while back, at 5:30pm, and was told that the wait time is 1 hour! Anyway, went there at 5:01 pm today. By 5:30, this place is packed, and there are people waiting outside already. In short, if you can read Mandarin, then you can appreciate that the owner really makes this place for people who like to have some drinks to sit back and relax.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Honestly, Little Skewers was really good. The chicken was super flavorful and cooked just right—juicy but with a nice char. I also liked the rice and the sauces they gave with everything. The portion size was perfect, and the service was fast and friendly. It’s a cool spot if you’re looking for something different but still really good. Definitely recommend if you’re into grilled stuff!

Loved the easy-going "great to hang out with friends" ambiance with their good selection of food and drinks. Ma la tang pot, cucumber salad, eggplant dish, lamb and beef belly skewer were super delish and the 24 and 36 shots of wine were OMG extraordinary! But above them all reigns the most amazing and unforgettable experience of seeing just about everybody around (literally all of the customers) in super duper happy mode with lots of smiles! Enjoyed every second spent at Little Skewer and will continue to comeback for more happy virus!

One of the better Chinese restaurant that I have been to. The food offerings were greatly delicious, the wait time for our food to arrive was minimal so my overall experience was next level satisfaction in comparison to other Chinese restaurant. Squid on skewer and eggplant with meet are worth to try.

First time .. definitely coming back love the spicy and flavor

Great drinking food. Got the lamb, beef, squid and pork belly skewers. The pork was my fav out of those 4. The fried milk was surprisingly good. We also enjoyed the enoki mushroom, grilled scallop, and cheesy corn. Love the atmosphere and decor.

Quick service, good food , selection of drinks, soft or alcoholic They use the iPad to order, send to the kitchen directly. You MUST TRY the Snow Ice doesn't matter Oreo or Red bean. Look at my picture, the Snow Ice taste absolutely GOOOOOOOD! Try it !

First time .. definitely coming back love the spicy and flavor

We had ordered many skewers, soup and stinky tofu. The food was good, except some skewers were over fried, they tasted like burnt and a little bit bitter.

Stunning food and seasoning, the waiters can be more chatty and polite.

Was pretty good, lots of small bites! I’m used to more kbbq style, but the experience and the aesthetic made the dinner here really fun. You order from and iPad, and the selection options are bit overwhelming as a first timer. Got a variety of meats (beef and pork - both good) the cucumber was fresh and perfect to cut through the heaviness, and the arctic surf clams were my favorite!

Taste : 4.3/5 Environment: 4.5/5 Service：4.3/5 is a nice spot to grab some skewers, especially if you're into a lively weekend vibe. It's a popular place, so be prepared to line up at the kiosk since it's first come, first serve. The skewers are tasty, though a bit on the salty side – nothing a good drink can't fix! My favorite was definitely the cucumber; it was super refreshing and balanced the flavors well. Oh, and they have a live band on weekends, which adds such a fun and energetic atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

We came here on a Monday for lunch and ordered lamb skewers (20), squid legs, tornado potato, liang pi, chive dumplings, golden hotpot, and the durian pizza. The skewers were all nicely seasoned with enough spice, but they arrive already cooked and kept warm on a hot plate. The potato was espcially good. The chive dumplings were natirally sweet and seemed homemade. Would definitely come back with friends for dinner and drinks!

We had tried the other locations and came to try this new opened little skewers. The taste of all the food is pretty authentic just like the other locations. But the scallops are much smaller. We had some skewers with lambs and beef, the potato one is very interesting and tasty. For alcohol my favorite is the yogurt one with "jumping" candy. There is a small stand in the corner of the restaurant and there was someone singing, it was cool at first but got kinda annoyed later because it was loud and we couldn't hear each other talking.

The place offers a variety of food but the screws all come with the same seasoning that can be a bit boring after a few bites. We had two different flavors of hot pot but would recommend pork belly with pickled cabbage. The stinky tofu outside is crispy while inside remain soft soaking in slightly sweat and sour sauce that is the best dish of the night. Marinated cucumber is also a must order to help refresh your mouth. Overall, a good spot to hang out with friends with dishes to share with

After we put in our order, we had to wait for more than 40 minutes for our food. The food was good but the wait was so long that it delayed our schedule afterwards. Another incident happened when we asked for check. One of the bbqs we ordered was never served but they insisted they served and implied that we were lying. They eventually sorted it out but the whole thing was really a mood killer for the holiday. Usually their service is good, but I believe what we experienced this time reveals some issues in their operations.

Everything is good. Food is good, service is standard, clean and comfortable. Upon entry, a poster says we should be careful with the skewer wood/bamboo sticks. I fist thought it was nothing. Until I had a splinter stuck somewhere close to my throat during dinner last night. Unable to get it out since then. It is causing redness and pain. I may need to go see the doctor if it doesn’t improve in two days. If they know this is an issue, they should improve and do something about it.

Very disappointed, i like the location in hacienda height. Been there many times every year. All the skewers that day is so salty we all cant even eat it My friend been to this location the week before, and all my friends are old customers, we know how salty it will be and we like it. We did complain to the server, she is friendly and try to ask the kitchen. But the other server is kind of rude and say its our fault that it taste the same. Just kind of sad, its a nice place with decor and vibe and closer. But this quality i dont think i will ever visit again.
