The owner of this wonderful restaurant is from Yunnan, China — the beautiful “homeland of clouds.” You can truly taste the spirit of Yunnan in every dish. The ingredients are fresh, the cooking is traditional, and the flavors are absolutely authentic. We ordered the Yunnan Breaded Tofu, Special Beef Skewers, Special Lamb Skewers, and Egg Fried Rice. The tofu came first, and before the plate even hit the table, the aroma was already dancing around us. The golden crispy crust,, looked irresistible. One bite and we were hooked — perfectly crispy outside, soft and flavorful inside. It awakened our appetite in the best way! Then came the beef and lamb skewers, and they were simply outstanding. The owner shared that they hand-select fresh meat every morning, marinate it for at least five hours, and only then start grilling. The chef’s control of the grill is masterful — smoky, lightly charred edges with juicy, tender meat inside. Rich but not greasy, every bite left us wanting more. We ended our meal by sharing a warm and fluffy egg fried rice — the perfect way to wrap up a delicious journey. A perfect experience. All this for under $40 for two people. Perfection!

Absolutely loved this place! The skewers were packed with flavor, grilled perfectly with just the right amount of char. The lamb was tender and juicy, the chicken had a great spice kick, and the seafood was super fresh. They have a great variety of meats, veggies, and even tofu options — something for everyone. The seasoning was bold without overpowering the natural taste of the ingredients. You can tell everything is made fresh to order. Loved the dry spice rub they offered on the side — really authentic. The atmosphere was lively and casual, perfect for hanging out with friends. Staff was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Highly recommend if you’re craving flavorful street-style Chinese BBQ. Will definitely be coming back!

My family and I ate here for the first time after passing by and it was SUCH an awesome spot. The owner is extremely hospitable and staff is super friendly. Food was incredible. We all loved their skewers and side dishes. Everything was so good and affordable. Definitely going to be regulars here!!

The skewers came out fresh and were really tender! Now I'm not someone who can really handle their spice that well, but man all the different skewers and dishes were addicting with the mix of spices that they used. Staff were also super nice in that they accommodated our party of 4 by pulling a table out that originally sat 3. There was also a large party at the back of the restaurant, but even with them, the staff were pretty attentive and helpful!

Food taste good and authentic. Serving pretty fast. Good service too. Recommend.

It was so delicious. The staff were very helpful with our questions and also recommended certain dishes, which were so good. Try the Yumman breaded tofu and the Beef braised noodle soup. Chicken skin skewers were a hit with my daughter as well.

Tasty, but the skewers on the light side. As in less seasoning and they came out warm. There is a heat tray thing the staff lit, but that didn't keep the skewers hot. Cold noodles were really good. Crispy bread could use some salt. It was bland. Fried rice was mid. Overall food was not bad. We came a little earlier than 5 PM and they let us in and we got seated. We ordered and food came at 5. Plenty of parking on this side still.

The skewers were good and flavorful, pricing reasonable. The issue is that the restrooms are not cleaned and the faucet in the men’s restroom is broken. It makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. Service was ok they often walk by without looking even as we’re trying to get their attention. Hopefully they improve in those areas.

While the grilled lamb skewers, lamb kidney, and beef aorta were fairly average in taste, we did appreciate the thoughtful gesture of serving them on a heated plate to keep them warm.

I came here based on recommendations from Xiaohongshu. The taste is just average overall, a bit on the salty side. The lamb chops didn’t feel very fresh and were especially tough to chew. The roasted potatoes had a slightly sour taste.

Food took forever to come out. The food was okay but wouldn't come back

‼️‼️DO NOT COME HERE‼️‼️ This place was HORRIBLE. My whole family and I got super bad food poisoning. The good reviews are probably all fake tbh. The service was bad, food was soooo dry, and the overall atmosphere was just dirty in general. Would never ever come back again.
