    Skewers were nicely seasoned and the food tasted fresh! Skewers are placed onto a candle-lit iron board on the table so it stays warm throughout the meal. Everything is ordered by QR code but the servers were attentive and food came out promptly. Came in a group of 2 and got a smaller table but it didn't feel too cramped. The traditional Chinese store inspired decoration really transports you into feeling like you're eating in China. Additional points for the Gu Zhen player who played for a good while that really added to the ambiance. Would definitely recommend for solid Chinese skewers in the area!

    Love this skewers place! There's a good amount of tables and I like all the decorations inside. You order through your phone, but the servers bring out the skewers really quick. My favorite part about this place is the hot plate to keep your skewers warm. We got the beef, pork belly, oyster mushroom, chive, enoki mushroom, and rice cake skewers. The meat is always cooked perfectly and i like the seasoning on all the skewers too. The rice cakes are my favorite because they're nice and chewy and on top of the seasoning there is also a sweet chili sauce. I'll definitely keep coming back here!

    The beef skewers here are the best I have ever had, super juicy, tender, and the perfect combination of fat and lean meat. Even my picky af boyfriend said the meat is cooked and seasoned really well! I also really liked their A 菜. The seasoning can get a bit salty so a drink would be the perfect complement! As soon as I walked in I am super amazed by the decoration and vibe, it's got the super chill Chinese vibe where you get a drink and some bites and I feel like I can sit here for hours! You order online and it's super simple, the food comes out relatively quick. Definitely worth the visit!!

    Absolutely love this place! I wasn't able to grab any photos this time but I will in my future visits. This is by far our favorite skewer place, the meat is cooked perfectly and falls right off the stick! The food and seasoning were amazing. I highly recommend trying a little of everything, I also like their noodle dishes for something more refreshing on the side. The restaurant itself is a little small so definitely come early if you have a big party as it gets busy really quickly! You can order off the QR code and the staff are quick to service your requests. There may be a small language barrier but the employees try their best to assist you. Both times that I've visited they've had a live music! They had someone playing a traditional Chinese instrument, the guzheng, which was super cool and added nice ambiance. Parking isn't an issue as it's located in a bigger plaza. You may need to walk a little if you park further!
