One of my go-to places for late night PROTEIN packed snacks and dinners! This restaurant feels so authentic and the servers are super sweet and efficient. My mandarin is not amazing but it's enough to get by with the servers. The seats are also soooo comfortable, I want these chairs for myself.
Even if you don't speak any Mandarin, you can come in and have a seat. Let them know how many people are in your party and they will bring you water, but the ordering process is via QR code in English, WITH PHOTOS! There are maybe 8-9 tables for 4, and seats near the window for 2, and then 1 long table in the middle. It's very bright and lively.
Once you place submit your order via your phone, they start to bring out the skewers, made to order. They season them very well and can be a tad spicy. I love the 10 piece snow beef for $10.99, the beef wrapped enoki 2 for $4.99, the pork belly 2 for 4.99. Truly you can't go wrong - they have a huge variety, including GLUTEN haha.
I also really like the cucumber salad - this is unique from all the spicy cucumber salads. It's fresh and had woodear and peanuts and is a great serving size.
You can get napkins and utensils from the little wooden box, and they have tissues in packets on top, just like in China. Dispose of your skewer sticks in the little tin, and ask them for the check. They take Apple Pay, you just have to walk up to the front to pay.
Totally recommend! Once they were closed on a Saturday at night - so I always have that fear now, but that was only once out of the 5-6 times I've visited. read more
