    Skewers + late nights = my kind of therapy. This is my go-to skewer spot after work when I need something tasty, chill, and open late (bless their hours!). The skewers? Always on point. Juicy, flavorful, and perfect whether you're starving or just need a little bite to wind down. The staff are super friendly--like, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. The vibe? Adorably casual. Cute enough for a lowkey date night, but also perfect for spilling tea with friends over drinks and delicious bites. Yes, they've got alcohol. Yes, it's chill. And yes, you'll probably end up staying longer than you meant to. No regrets

    Went here for a late night dinner with the hubby and it was very quiet. Only a few people dining in. We ordered beef bbq sticks, garlic and eggplant. Oh and some fried tofu. Food came out pretty quick. The bbq sticks were good, lots of seasoning. The fried tofu had crystals of msg.... Not a fan of it but I guess most Asian cuisine like to use Ajinomoto. Service was quick too.

    Beef skewers

    If you're looking for a good beef skewer place, this is it! Good meaty portions and the spicy powder and house made sauce they have on the side makes it taste even better. Rice definitely goes with it. Scan QR and place order via phone. They have a good menu selection but there's still a lot of things I haven't tried yet. I know there are so many skewer spots in the bay (more flashy interior) but this place just keeps it simple while still serving good quality food. It's nice that they open until late, so good for a late night meal. However, there might be one or two loud parties so it could get loud in there. Workers are friendly and attentive. From my recent visit, I noticed they upgraded their utensils and cups. Convenient parking space in the plaza too.

    Great late night spot for flavorful Chinese skewers and drinks. The skewers are always on point and my friends and I love coming here. Something about their seasoning keeps us coming back for more. Service is usually quick as your order through the QR code. They've recently updated their equipment and menu items. They now have a grill to help keep your skewers warm while you chat and laugh away with good company. Super cozy spot in the Milpitas square surrounded by other great restaurants. A bit on the pricier side, but that's with most skewer places. I don't mind splurging from time to time when I want good skewers.

    Parking is great if you come during off peak. Seating are Plentiful, space is loud. The menu is all digital (scan a barcode and order via their online browser). The skewers are just okay. They are $2-$5 per stick but it's extremely small (shorter than an iPhone 12 length if that helps). The quail eggs are absolutely frozen ones from the grocery store whereas they meat ones are dry and been sitting. Cash only!!

    Happy hour chicken skin, beef, lamb

    First of all, my partner and I ordered a little too much, but when it's Chinese skewers it's manageable to finish so much. During happy hour which was from 4-11 pm on the Saturday we went, you can get 10 skewers of certain items for around 20 dollars (depending on what item). Between the lamb, beef, and chicken skin, my favorite was the lamb. It was well-flavored and quite juicy. Aside from that, the beef could be a little bit dry but still tasty, and the chicken skin in all of its fatty goodness is nicely crisped up. Service is definitely no fuss; as soon as you enter if there's a free seat you can sit down and order via QR code. It took a short while because the lone server was busy, but water and refills were given. While the restaurant is small, it's definitely more of a drinking setting (skewers + alcohol vibe). I liked that it was lowkey but still clean.

    Lamb Kebab and Beef Kebab
    Vivian T.

    We came at happy hour and it was fairly empty. Great place for a quick something! My favorite kebab has to be lamb. They have spices and soy sauce on the side to season your meat so it's easy to adjust the kebab to your liking.

    It was my first time here in a long long long time. I don't even remember whether or not I liked it. We came in around 12:30am and there was only one other party eating. We ordered a bunch of skewers and they came out pretty quick. They were all heavily seasoned with the same seasoning, which is why I think I prefer Japanese style skewers over Chinese. Because the skewers all kinda came out at once, it was hard to keep track of what you're eating and if you've received all the skewers you ordered. We did have to tell the staff that we were missing skewers for them to take it off our check. The fried rice was good. Everything was served on paper plates and cups, probably because of Covid. The bill was also very expensive at the end of our meal.

    Assorted skewers (chicken, chicken hearts, chicken gizzards)

    Chinese skewers!!! I crave for these skewers once in a while, and this is my first time back since the pandemic started. Happy to say the quality is still the same if not better! I've been here multiple times (funnily enough, always with the same friend haha). Some of our go-to items are Taiwanese sausage, chicken skin, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, and shredded potato. I also like the fish tofu and chicken skewers (surprisingly juicy!), and my friend enjoys the sugar buns (these are a bit too bland for me). Each skewer is around $2, so price wise it is not bad at all. But it can really adds up if you get carried away. I'd say 10-15 skewers for each person + a shared snack is a good amount of food. We like to order soju to pair with our food time to time, since this is great drinking food (so definitely on the unhealthy side haha). Minus one star because service always takes a while no matter how busy the restaurant is, plus the lack of variety in flavor since they use the same flavoring for most skewers. I like their ordering process - They give you a plastic menu & marker, and you mark what you want to order yourself. Since the marker marks can be erased, thought that's pretty environmentally friendly lol. Overall, solid place for Chinese skewers! I'd say the food is authentic, but I haven't had these skewers anywhere else, so come try them yourself haha. And like other reviews have mentioned, the restaurant opens pretty late aka a great option for late night munchies.

    Glad to see FT BBQ open for indoor dining! We love the lamb skewers here. It can be a little fatty but that makes it so delicious and savory. The beef skewers are a little tough, especially if you do a take out order. Somehow the meat being in the box makes it even more tough after a while. Take note that they do not accept credit card payment for orders below $30. Also you can call in to place your order and it'll be ready in ~20min.

    $74 with tip for 3 people, so figure $25 per person. This was just the right amount of food. We didn't finish was the A veg, too spicy!
    Mr L.

    Order some scissors so you can cut stuff up, like the sausage. The A Vegetable was way, way too spicy. Bell Peppers, green beens, beef, sausage were good. The Cucumber salad was good, but watch out for the raw garlic. Saba had a lot of bones. BBQ spices are okay, but a little too salty for me. 3.0-3.5 stars Not sure if I'd go back, but glad I tried this place

    Are they opened on Tuesday? Every time we come on Tuesday night it's closed! What's going on?

    Maybe call them to ask before continuing to go on Tuesdays? Might as well play it safe and save yourself a trip.

    I discovered bb.q Chicken online about a year ago, absolutely loved it, and we have ordered from…read morethis Milpitas location at least 6 times since! It has definitely become one of our go-to spots for Korean fried chicken, even though we've noticed a few hiccups along the way. Our Absolute Favorites (Highly Recommend): Gangnam Style Wings & Soy Garlic Wings: These are our top tier wing choices--packed with flavor! BBoom Chicken (Boneless): This seems new, or maybe we just missed it previously. Either way, it is incredibly delicious and has officially been added to our favorites list. Rose Ddeok-bokki: So good! Pro tip: make sure to add cheese if you are a cheese lover. Kimchi Fried Rice: Always delicious and satisfying. Other Flavors We've Tried: Cheesling Wings: These are good, but a little too sweet for my personal taste. Honey Garlic Wings: They are just okay. Golden Original Wings: A little too plain for me; we didn't like these as much as the sauced options. Side note: The complimentary pickled radish that comes with the chicken is fantastic. It's super refreshing and the perfect companion to cut through the heavy, oily food. The Only Downside: The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the quality isn't totally stable. Most of the time it is great, but occasionally our wings aren't very crispy, and there was one time when the wings we received were surprisingly small. Overall, the flavors here are fantastic and the good definitely outweighs the bad. We will definitely keep ordering from here!

I kept going back for awhile but started to notice the fry on the chicken wasn't the same so I stopped for maybe a year. After I finished dining at the restaurant next door, bbq chicken looked like it was closed (like permanently!). I was actually so disappointed because I did want to give it another try. A couple weeks later I checked online and they were open again! I went back and omg it is SO much better! I don't know what they did.. did the recipe change? Did they change the oil? Different oil? Whatever it is, keep it up because this chicken is so smacking good. Even my brother said this is actually pretty comparable to the ones in Korea. Only one thing to note is the original spicy isn't as spicy as it used to be! Maybe add a bit more kick to it? Otherwise, it was a great experience, plenty of seating, very clean and casual interior. Can't wait to go back!

The location that we went to is located next to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row on Olin Ave. There is a free 2 hour parking structure across of the restaurant where my boyfriend and I parked at. We came during their Lunch Specials (until 4pm) and Happy Hour (from 3-5:30pm) which worked perfectly as we wanted something smaller in portion compared to the dinner portions. We started off with drinks. I got their Pig Ol' Bitties Blonde Ale, and my boyfriend got their Friday Beer & Shot special of This Little Piggy Went to [Mark]et with a 16 oz Dirty Little Pig IPA and a shot of Benchmark whiskey. My fault for having him get a whiskey shot on an empty stomach, though HAHA. He did like how smooth the whiskey was at least! We shared a 2-meat BBQ Lunch Combo Plate, and honestly, we should have gotten 3 meats because of how tender and delicious everything was! We got their Tri Tip and Sliced Brisket with their Garlic Mash and server recommended Sweet Potato Tots. Ahhh, everything was so good! Aside from the tender, flavorful meats, the two sides, especially the garlic mash, were sooooo good. We both loved everything! It was definitely a great choice coming during lunch as we were quite full after ordering one of their happy hour shareables of Chips & Queso (kind of pricey even for happy hour in my opinion for chips and cheese). Honestly wished we got their Chili Cheese Fries or their other fries which were the same price than just chips and dip LOL. But it was a good hold over food with us drinking a bit (at least for me). Shoutout to the only server who was working on a late Friday afternoon as she was doing her best to accommodate everyone + trying to clean up the previous tables. It was kind of sad seeing that the other workers didn't help bus the tables in my opinion. Overall, a great place to watch sports and have some good whiskey as this restaurant is known for their whiskey selections! The lunch BBQ exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back for another lunch special meal but probably with 3 meats this time!
