Decided to change up the location for skewers and tried this place located on the second floor of the plaza. I was surprised to see that they have a covered outdoor patio in the foyer, but the place was overall very lively on a weekday night! As I ordered beef, lamb, and tofu skin skewers, I didn't realize everyone else ordering full on stir fry dishes and soups nearby. Aside from that, the skewers took a bit longer to cook but they were so juicy and tender! One of the best lamb skewers I've had for a reasonable price (they come in bundles). Although it can get a bit loud since they have karaoke there as well, I enjoyed it. Perhaps they were slow on service that night, but I would come back to give it a second try on the other dishes next time. Plenty of underground parking in the plaza as well. read more

I can only give this place three stars. The foods are okay. Something different. The service was so so. No one comes to our table when we rang the tablet to call the server. We rang for more than five minutes. We have to wave down one of the staff members asking for to go boxes for two of our unfinished dishes and the bill. They have an outdoor patio. read more

Everything was good. Quite a wait for Saturday night, as expected. The atmosphere and set up is like Asian street style restaurants. They also got ktv rooms for those that love to sing and squeeze in some good food. The pitcher of Sapporo was pretty good, didn't taste watered down like other places. The classic HK style stir fry flat noodles with beef was also on point. Love to come back and try other dishes. read more

The food is very authentic, it taste almost like what you can find in street food vendor in China, however, they are heavily seasoned and a bit on the greasy side. It is good to have it once a while. Service is prompt and good. The decor has a good vibe read more

Came in on a weekday evening around 9:30 PM. Very chill, laid-back vibes- kind of like casual Chinese street food with Chinese music in the background. We were seated right away, and the service was friendly. We tried the beef and lamb skewers, which were flavorful and tender. The large family-style beef stew was a solid choice too- great portion size and bold, savory flavors. Also ordered the tomato beef stew, which was a nice change of flavor with its tangy kick. The restaurant is located in a plaza, so parking wasn't difficult. It's open late (till 2 AM), so this is a perfect late-night spot to grab a bite. Would return for the vibes and the solid food! read more

这哥们带狗来吃饭，还给狗带了一个喝水的狗盆子，吃完饭起身就把狗盆里的水倒在锅里，期间还征求了服务员的意见，服务员说直接倒进去，真的是恶心坏了！ This guy brought his dog to have a meal and even brought a dog bowl for it to drink water. After the meal, he got up and poured the water in the dog bowl directly into the pot. During this process, he even asked the waiter for permission. The waiter said it was okay to pour it in. It was really disgusting! read more

I can't believe I've never been here before! The entrance is a bit of a hole in the wall, but the interior is impressive! There's a giant bumblebee statue in the lobby as you walk in & the restaurant has Hong Kong eatery vibes. There's also a late night karaoke room that looks amazing for parties! The food is really good here! I was very impressed by the hotpot where they put in chicken then the giant oysters . The smashed tomato beef, the garlic seafood, and the shredded chicken salad are must tries. I definitely coming with a group here to experience all the shareable family style dishes. They also have cool drinks like the sangria lit on . Service was very attentive and nice for a Hong Kong styled restaurant, we were very pleased by the experience. read more

this used to be my favorite skewer restaurant in the SGV but they recently took out my favorite/one of their most popular items (the duck blood). Their portion sizes have also slightly decreased, and the place feels a little colder than before. The staff are still friendly but it doesn't hit as hard anymore. read more

We came tonight and even though it was very busy and not too far from closing, the staff did their very best to accommodate and did not disappoint.

I rarely give 1 star to a restaurant cuz I'm in general pretty tolerable. Please beware of this place take this alert seriously for your own good before you decide to go. This is the second time we visit this place. We ordered a stir fried beef noodle, and as soon as I took the first bite of the beef, I spit it out immediately as the it was spoiled and gave off a foul, decaying, rotten meat odor that made me wanna throw up!! Also the beef slice looked pale and the texture was soft and mushy in mouth. I called up the manager and told him that the beef was rotten. He asked me " is it not fresh?" I said " it's more than just not fresh, the meat is spoiled and has a very disgusting taste." A while later, he came back and told me that he had tried a piece and that just tasted normal. He asked if he could make another one for me with the beef replaced with sausage instead, and I told him to just cancel this order as all my appetite was gone. I'm not judging him saying that the taste was normal as it's still possible that some of them were good there. But seriously, what kind of kitchen hygiene and food safety management you could expect from a place where people in the back served spoiled meat for their customers?? I hope this could make known to everyone immediately and no one will get food poisoning from eating their food. Also I hope that the business owner becomes more aware of the importance of proper food safety and kitchen management. read more

Good food and good ambient. This place sort of rodnse of China. I would recommend this place to other people.

3.5/5 Waited like more than half an hour for our dish to show up while the place doesn't look that busy‍ But. Eggplant is really good! Pan fried instant noodle are pretty nice too 三杯鸡也还可以 read more

Such a cool place! There is a man in the front that makes sugar candy into cute little cartoon characters like Hello Kitty! They have a big spacious outdoor patio area and indoor area. There are even private karaoke rooms inside! The night I was there, it was already booked up though. I definitely want to try that next time. The decor inside reflects the street food in China. Super cute! The food was pretty good! We had several kinds of skewers and the big fish. I thought the lamb and the gizzards were a bit overcooked, but all the other ones were good. The beef was really good. The big fish looked big, but it was light and was easy to eat. You order through an iPad so it was easy. Service was quick and the servers were nice! Would come again, especially for the karaoke! read more

It's located on the second floor of the Life Plaza. There's outdoor seating, indoor seating, and there's private karaoke rooms too. You can waitlist on the tablet in the waiting area and for our party of 2 we waited maybe 5 minutes maximum. Each table has a little "cart" next to it with the call button, utensils, extra dishes, hand sanitizer, a pitcher of water, napkins, and the spicy and cumin powder. We also got a complimentary dish of these yummy chips that remind me of Bugles but in rectangular form. Ordering occurs through Chowbus with the QR code on the table. All the food comes with a picture, and you just add things to your cart, hit submit, you'll hear a ding from the back of the restaurant, and the servers will bring the food to your table. If you want to order more or dessert for later on, you can keep adding stuff to your cart. When you're ready to pay just select that you are and a worker will come to facilitate you with that. Most of the items on the menu are freshly made/grilled so it may take a bit of time, so it might be best to stagger your orders or plan accordingly. In the mean time there's C-pop playing, people just vibing hardcore (playing this dice game with each other), huge projector screen playing Chinese dubbed Poke'mon and Kung Fu Panda, and they even have a Chinese mask dance here too! Did NOT expect that since I've only seen it at fancy rich people looking restaurants like The X Pot by Wagyu House or like Haidilao or something. I would never expect to see that at a beer / karaoke bar, but this was the BEST mask dance performance in comparison to the fancier restaurants I've seen it at. WAY MORE interaction with audience, the performer also tossed freebies into the crowd, and did a viral Tiktok/Douyin dance. The performance also felt longer too. HUGE W for our group hands down. For food we got the: 1) Snails: -Unfortunately, I've already forgotten the exact name of this dish but it's the appetizer version and not the main course version. This comes with 8 snails. -The snails are drenched in their delicious sauce that's made with garlic, green onions, a bit of chili pepper, and cilantro. There's a nice tangy sour, but rich taste to the sauce and it was so good that we started drizzling it on our separate bowls of white rice afterwards. -The snails are a tad more difficult to take out of their shells and their "foot" is still attached so make sure to spit that out, but overall, they're fairly tender and taste great with the sauce. None of that weird sandiness that you get with mollusk sometimes. For the cost and the amount of snails we got, this was a great appetizer. 2) Duck Blood: -You can choose between the options of spicy or sour/spicy, we opted for sour/spicy to get the best of both flavor profiles. -I have never actually tried duck blood (only pork blood) before this and the dish is actually quite different than the image on Chowbus. It's not just a tray of sliced duck blood but a stew of sliced duck blood with glass noodles and onions. -The duck blood is very silky and smooth and doesn't crumble like pork blood. There is also less of an iron taste. We enjoyed this a lot. -The noodles absorbed the mostly sour but slightly spicy (it is very subtle) soup and was flavored nicely. -Didn't expect that form this dish so was pleasantly surprised. 3) Skewers (chicken gizzard - 4 pieces, lamb - 4 pieces, 1 piece Chinese sausage, 1 piece sweet sausage - Taiwanese style): -You have the standard spicy and cumin powder at your table for skewers. The gizzards had a nice slight crunch to them and the lamb was tender and moist. You can't go wrong with foods in weiner form so that was good too. -Great snack type food if you're not super hungry. 4) Chocolate Mushroom Pudding: -That's not what the official name of the menu item is, but when you see it on the menu, you'll immediately recognize it. -Super cute and unique, I've never had a dessert like this before and I honestly say that it's better than the American equivalent of a "dirt cake or pudding". -You have a chocolate top and vanilla stem mushroom made of icy ice cream (it's not as creamy so you tell it was milk/liquid frozen in a mold, but still good) on a bed of almond pudding with dirt from crushed Oreos and Ovaltine, and there's rainbow fruit jellies scattered about. -It's a tasty dish that utilizes a lot of different dessert flavors and textures. Super good and a worth to try dish for sure. Already planning to head back one day with some people who can drink and will definitely try more of their menu. read more

DaPaiDang turned out to be such a great surprise! The stinky pot, fried rice, and skewers were all delicious, and even my friend who never eats lamb liked their lamb skewers. The atmosphere is lively with private KTV rooms for parties, and the service is incredibly caring--they even gave me extra bandages when they noticed mine had fallen off. It's a solid spot for fresh seafood, hot dishes, drinks, and late-night snacks, and I'd definitely come back with friends to try more. read more

a group of 15 of us came around 11pm and we ended up getting seated in the karaoke room. the food came out pretty fast despite our large order but everything was tasty! though not pictured, we ordered pitchers of beer, fried rice, and a variety of fried noodles and skewers. the skewer that i surprisingly ended up liking was the grilled man tou skewer. it was a tad sweet and charred and paired really well with the beer. the only thing i didn't particularly enjoy was the wasabi cucumber because of how potent the wasabi flavor was, but if you REALLY like wasabi, you'll enjoy it. the karaoke was also a nice addition to end the night. this is a dope late night spot for sure. read more

Just tried this Hong Kong roadside food spot and it's seriously awesome. The food is delicious, prices are super reasonable, and the portions are huge. My top pick has to be the sweet and sour potato chips--so crispy and perfect for sharing with a group. Plus, they've got KTV boxes if you're in the mood for some late-night singing. Totally recommend for late-night snacks or just hanging out. Overall, had a great time and I'll definitely be back! read more

The ingredients are not fresh. The first time I went there, it was okay, but the second time was too bad. I'll never go again.

We stopped by here on Sat night (on LNY) and was thoroughly happy with our choice! We ordered a decent amount of food for 4 people, and a pitcher of beer, finished with the poisonous mushroom dessert and the total was about $150 after tip and tax. The frog legs were yum, with a little bit of numbing spice. The chicken gizzard pot was sooo good and had great texture. The skewers were tender. And the chow fun had enough wok-heat! They were quick with service and quite attentive. It was such a treat to see the BIAN LIAN performance while dining! read more

The spicy Duck Blood glass noodles are amazing. The fried corn, cold chicken salad, and frog legs are on point and authentic. It's street food straight from a sidewalk snack booth in the 1980's style restaurant. The staff is attentive and follows up with changing your serving plates. I definitely recommend this place for Karaoke too in their private rooms. read more

Tried DaPaiDang for the first time tonight and the experience was AWFUL. Their menu did not note that their skewers had peanuts in it while I have a pretty severe peanut allergy. When the food came, I thought to ask about peanuts in their food just in case as some restaurants add peanuts in their seasoning. When I was told that the skewers had peanuts in it, our group had asked if we could have the two items (two sausages and an order of pork) that arrived remade without the peanuts. The server not only refused but said that it was our fault for not saying that earlier and that because the order was on our table, they refused to take it back. After talking to their manager for some time, they still refused to remake the order and did not care that I had a severe peanut allergy. Then when we tried to pay, the server selected an 18% tip option and handed me the tablet to pay. Needless to say, the service at this restaurant is terrible. DO NOT VISIT IF YOU HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY. read more

We came in a party of 3, for the karaoke. It was very hot in the room, and after we were done the cashier tried to charge us fucking 300 dollars with some bullshit reasons, but we fought that and ended up paying what they're supposed to charge: 30 dollars an hour. It was outrageous. Besides that, even from taking a sneak peak from the kitchen door while I was waiting for my 2 friends outside of the restroom, I am able to notice violation of food safety standards(as someone that worked for food service for a decent amount of time and also learned a bunch about it during my education), such as proper storage of pots& pans, utensils, and dirty towels. The overall condition is pretty filthy honestly. read more

I wouldn't recommend going here. They cancelled my booking very last minute and gave me no good reason why.

This is an extremely untrustworthy restaurant. On December 11, I booked a room for December 20 (which is tomorrow). A week later, just now, the restaurant called to inform me that my reservation had been canceled. They provided no reasonable explanation, only saying that the room would not be available. When I asked why the room couldn't be used, they did not answer. I strongly suspect they gave the room I reserved to other guests. If they had informed me earlier, I could have made alternative arrangements. I had invited many friends, and this last-minute cancellation completely disrupted my plans. read more
