First time here and we love their concept of serving meat on skewers. They also have some noodles and soups besides skewers. There is a sauce bar for you to customize as you like. I personally love the house special salt, so gooood. The food here is awesome. The meat is moist and soft. They are well seasoned and smells delicious, you can order the skewers either spicy or not spicy. There will be a paper menu so you can choose whatever you like. We have to wait a bit to order but after we ordered, the food is served pretty fast.

Skewers were decent, just wished they were a bit longer consistently like the pork was the longest and the enoki bacon was the shortest. Pork, beef, lamb skewers were the same price at $2.75 each, and the enoki bacon was $3.45

We had fun here, and the food was cooked well. My only thing is with the menu. Even my boyfriend who frequently eats this style of food struggled with the vagueness of the menu. But the food was served quickly and the staff was very thorough to ensure we had everything we wanted.

Really tasty and flavorful skewers (their specialty) but don’t skip out on the noodles! A unique spot with quick and friendly service. They have a self-serve sauce bar that is a plus. Overall on the pricier side and I don’t usually leave full without dropping a pretty penny.

I really like the lamb skewer and oil spill noodles. The cabbage tasted great too. The chicken heart skewer and scallop skewer were disappointing. The pork belly skewer was alright. The chicken heart was dry, and the scallops were tiny. The oil spill noodles tasted great too. Their house spice is very spicy.

Great 'new' experience! Went here with a group after being recommended it - it was exciting up til we sat down in which we received water and some edamame and then were left to figure it out on our own. After we made selections we had to find someone to take our menu for preparing. The menu can be hard to garner how much food you will get per item, but it's able to be mostly worked out. The oil slick noodles, the wheat noodles were great accompanying all the meats, as was the pita bread. For skewers - I'd recommend the pork belly, lamb, and quail (although quite small). Also USE THE SAUCES for variety, they help as most meats all have the same aftertaste/profile.

I have seen this place for years now and finally got to try it. I don’t know what I expected but was sadly disappointed. I have not tried many skewer places so I’m not really sure what it’s suppose to taste like but it had a strong lighter fluid taste. You could see the chefs cooking it on a grill, so maybe it’s the seasoning that tastes like lighter fluid? Could just be us though, other tables did not seem to complain about it.

Unfortunately after being wowed by a video post i had to try this place. It was let down. My expectations were just too high. The food was ok. Nothing special but far from bad. I will say I was most surprised by the fried tofu - tasted like fries! Definitely give it a try just do not expect to be amazed.

Although the menu had a vast selection, it was not as clear of how much food would come with an order. Many of us ordered the recommended gizzard and lamb skewers but it was rather disappointing all were over cooked. Everyone seemed to fight to get the food off the skewers. I also had scallops, which were so tiny for the price, as well as the shrimp that were not deveined. Only food I did seem to enjoy were the vegetables. First time going and I would have thought it'd be nicer with the steady lunch hr.

Food is decent. Spicy if you don't like spicy with lots of flavor. Everything is seasoned well, and the lamb skewers are especially good. Our waitress was friendly, but the restaurant did smell slightly bad like chemicals when I first walked in

Unfortunately, I Found a fly cooked on my skewer. This was very disappointing and concerning. I hope the restaurant addresses cleanliness and food safety standards, as they need improvement.

Came here with my family for my birthday and unfortunately had a very poor experience. We were never greeted when we walked in. Instead, a worker who was cleaning a table yelled across the completely empty restaurant telling us to sit at table 2. We did, but received no further direction. A man from the cash register came over, placed waters on the table without saying a word, and walked away. Both employees seemed visibly upset to be there. When he passed by again, we asked how to order or if a server would be helping us. With no eye contact, he just said to write what we wanted on a piece of paper. There was zero customer service or communication. We wrote down our order and waited, assuming someone would return or guide us. No one did. I eventually walked up to the cash register to hand him the paper. He didn’t look at me, practically snatched the paper from my hand, and tossed it next to him—no acknowledgment, no thank you, nothing. At that point, we decided to leave. The staff seemed confused and irritated that we walked out. I really wish I could have tried the food, but the lack of basic hospitality and respect makes this a place I would never recommend. We ended up at zhangs bistro, the service and food 10/10

The servers were nice, but we had no idea what to do, and never got an explanation. I do not understand if we did something wrong, in which I apologize for, but the food was genuinely a hard eat. The skewers were extremely chewy, and the seasoning on top of them was burnt. It tasted like charcoal. The bread was doughy in the middle, but tasted like lighter fluid. Again, we had no idea what to do, and everyone around us seemed to enjoy it and had no issues. So this could be our fault, but this was our experience.
