The ambiance is casual yet inviting, perfect for food lovers of all kinds.

“ It's a hidden gem. Price is affordable. Taste is very authentic. It's recommended to make reservations before coming. They wouldn't take walking if the restaurant is busy ”
“ Very unique and delicious Chinese northern BBQ! They have a lot of dishes that are only seen here. 国内路边摊的感觉，好吃 ”
“ Food is slightly above average overall. The use of paper plates is quite odd, but not a dealbreaker. Looking at the glass half full, I'd rather have a paper plate than a dirty one. Place is quite small so it's pretty much crowded when I went. We were there early so we were able to get a seat. The owner let us know that they had a reservation in about 90 minutes for that table so we would need to finish before then. It took about 45 minutes for everything to be delivered to us. First dish came about 20 mins in and last dish coming out around the 45 mins mark. We were eating it along the way so it was enough time to finish. Cleanliness is about at a 4/5. The restroom was cleaner than I expected when I arrived, but after a couple visits from the drunk table behind us, it was quite nasty. I feel sorry for the customers later on in the evening. Overall, I don't regret trying this place, but it didn't really have that wow factor to me personally to make me must go back. ”
“ Hole in the wall skewers restaurant. They are closed Monday and Tuesday. Reservation is recommended. The skewers are tasty and the owner is down to earth. I would come again to try their other dishes. ”
“ Food and alcohol were good. Friendly service but could be a bit slow. Parking was difficult if you come on the weekends. Still 5 out of 5 no complaints for the price! ”
“ This is an amazing hole in the wall , mom and pop restaurant, hidden gem. It looked like an old house transitioned too a restaurant. They probably only speak mandarin and the menu is all in Chinese but the food is authentic and delicious! Everything is flavorful, we ordered a side range of food from skewers to soup to bone marrow. There's also a fridge filled with drinks where you can get tea or soda there. Water pitchers for the table are also there if you have a larger group. Parking lot is very small, it can get tough so it may be easier to find street parking. Overall a very enjoyable place if you love delicious food. But just know it's a simple place with paper cups and waiters probably don't speak English . ”
