Opinions de The Skewer Bar San Jose
Really good place to try skewers. It tastes yummy and traditional, except bread. It is a little bit sweet, while in my hometown of China, it should salty and spicy. The flavors are good, and there are multiple choices for foods. Besides, there also have popular beverages in China. Recommend this place for people who loves BBQ.
You scan the barcode and order via your phone. They put all the bbq skewers on the side and keep them hot. Great food - spicy, delicious, and juicy Nice environment - love their decorations inside and outside of the restaurant. Perfect for small groups Definitely will come back again
Loved it. The service wasn’t the quickest and there was a long wait to get in on a Sunday afternoon but it was worth it. The meat quality and cooking was perfect. We got beef, lamb, chicken gizzard, lamb rib, fish cake, fish ball with filling, steamed bun. Was not super impressed with the fish items but meat items are amazing and perfectly cooked.
One of the best skewer bars that I’ve ever been to. It’s a very small hole in the wall kinda place. They have a good wait time between 6PM and 9PM and Friday and Saturday nights are as busy as they can get with long wait. Of course all this wait is for the absolutely amazing food and drink choices that they serve. The service is friendly and the ambience is also good.
Very fun menu and fast service. They cook the meat skewers for you and bring it out. There is a hot plate at the table to keep them warm as you eat. The appetizers (cucumber salad and five spice peanuts) were addicting! Cool experience to drink on a night out with friends.. they have lots of unique Asian drink options I haven't seen elsewhere.
Best bbq skewer place in the area. Taste great and much reasonable price than others. Highly recommended. Golden fried rice was so good.
A very large selection in the menu for Chinese BBQ. Delicious and tasty. And friendly staff and great service. Highly recommended especially for late night meals with friends!
I can only say that this is the best BBQ restaurant in the Bay Area, bar none. Great BBQ, great drinks, top-notch ingredients and service. I highly recommend everyone to try it, you won't be disappointed!

I’m a huge fan of Chinese BBQ and this spot did not disappoint. We ordered a variety of their BBQ skewers and they have the perfect blend of spice; so savory and so good. My favorite was the beef tendon and beef skewer. I also loved their potato tornado! It’s basically a giant fried fry covered in spices. It reminds me of the first time I tried that in China. I would also recommend getting their bone marrow and spicy noodles! Their bone marrow is one of the best I’ve had!
We arrived around 8pm and there was no line :) they have a huge list of drinks options, which cover my childhood favs and trendy drinks. The restaurant has interesting interior and exterior designs. Grilled items tasted okay (not too spicy) but pretty salty and greasy. The service was pretty good actually. They responded quickly to our missing order requests and served them fast.
The BBQ stinky tofu is authentic, and the BBQ whole eggplant is delicious and flavorful. The vibe is lively, and the ordered foods come quickly. The service is acceptable, but the utensils are plastic and not eco friendly.

Always a great place for authentic skewer. Lately seems they are running short of supply so lots of good stuff on menu is missing. Hope to get back soon.
The environment is great, kind of like street grill bar in China. If you want to eat something interesting, like some insects, you should be here. The taste is good, but the price is too high. One beef or lamb skewer is almost 3 dollars, we two people ordered one more fired rice in case we were not full.
There are hot plates allegedly to keep the food warm but when I asked our waitress to light ours, she said they were basically just for show lol. But still obliged. The skewer seasoning is not spectacular so those get old after awhile. The tables are close together. They are very eager for quick table turnovers as there is usually a crowd. They get you the check fast but not much service otherwise. It was hard to flag them down for water or other utensils. The paper cups and decor is cute. They have the exact same dishes that look exactly the same as some other skewer places. The drink selection is good though.
The interior decoration is very interesting and the environment is very good. The staffs are super nice . We went there at 5:30PM, almost full inside . The BBQ taste is not as domestic as expected…
😑 不要叫炒蜆。They tried to convince us those are fully cooked and it's safe to cosume even they were not open. They gave us glove to hand open them. Yes, they were fully cooked but since they were not opened, the sauce can't get inside which means the meat don't have much taste at all. We still paid for this as they didn't want to give us a refund on this dish. Anyway, out of food safety, customer confident and their business reputation, they really should stop selling this.
Seems they changed the owner, the delivery package written “Discovery fusion”. The chicken chest bone becomes a completely different item, a small piece of chicken bone takes $16?

Ownership has changed. They play good music and the service is typical. Fast Chinese style. However quality has suffered. Too salty and the food is not the same. 10% cash discount.

Used to come here a lot but I think this place has change its ownership? Or chef? The food that comes out is not skewed, it’s super oily. It’s not crispy nor dry at all. I don’t know how they cook the food. It seems like they soak the food in oil. It’s not skewed nor deep fried…. Sadly not coming back anymore. And they only have one server for Friday night that runs the food and cashier. I feel sad for her. She has to run the whole place herself
Most of the food was quite overcooked and tough to eat (excessively dried / semi-burnt). The vegetarian skewers are okay, but don't order the black pepper chicken though. Half the meal is inedible chili (see picture) Also, don't order unless you plan on picking it up asap. They just cook it as the orders come. I scheduled a pickup order via their website, but got notified 45 minutes before the scheduled time that the food was ready. Had to microwave by the time I picked it up. The atmosphere seems relatively nice and there was even a long line on Thursday night. It only seems worth it if you plan on dining in person with friends and are okay with low-ish quality / poorly prepared meats.

Menu changed for the worse. Less food options. A lot of skewers are priced per stick, but they don't tell you, unlike other skewer places. Lots of drinks are gone. Food quality dropped. 10% upcharge for credit cards.
This place used to be one of my favorite BBQ places. Unfortunately it is going down recently. Most of the good stuff on the menu is out of stock constantly. No drinks!!! They say their license has expired. And their service .... Serving dishes out of order... After we finished all the meat and main dishes, they brought us the salad as the last plate!!! I do not recommend this place anymore.

It used to be a favorite place of us, but now it's going down obviously. The two tiny candles were supposed to keep the food warm, but they looked more like decor and did nothing to actually heat it. There aren't as many dishes on the menu anymore, the tofu like a paper-thin while it was very thick n high-quality. For us, the taste of these skewers are really bland when compared to the last time we ate here about a 2-3 months ago, we were asking for spice powder twice, but the cashier didn't understand us, and the waiter, hmm we thought he understood what we need, but he seems to ignore us? We kept waiting and tried multiple times to get his attention, but he ignored us and gave us no response at all. And the worst thing that we met, at checkout, the cashier bluntly pointed at the receipt and told us the amount we should tip, saying only “tip.” This felt rude and inappropriate. While we understand there may be a language barrier, the service we received did not justify being asked for a tip in this manner.
This place is a total SCAM, on the picture it shows 5 beef skewers with each skewer showing at least 4-5 beef pieces. The name labels 5 skewers per serving, so I ordered one. And I got FIVE SINGULAR beef pieces SCATTERED in the take out box, not even with the skewer sticks, just straight out scattered in the box. I took it back to the manger when I found out and she told me “yes, it’s one piece per skewers here” and confirmed they didn’t mess up my order and this was no joke. And honestly I would’ve been fine if, at least on the menu it labeled “ONE BEEF PIECE PER SKEWER” and no, none was found in the menu. This is a total scam, pictures did NOT match the actual thing, not in the slightest bit(mind you it was the same for the other 5+ items I ordered).
