Overall 4.5/5: First time going to a dedicated skewer restaurant. It was a cool experience and enjoyed it, despite the music being too loud for my liking. There was a lot of energy in the place. The wait staff were friendly. Food was great but was pricey per skewer. Food 5/5: Delicious and tasted close to skewer cart (this is a win!). Would have loved to try more things but some skewers were up to $3 each so it got pricey fast. They did have a large selection of skewers to choose from. You get a wrist band with a QR code that tracks what skewers you order. Non-skewer items could be ordered using your phone. Everything was fresh. They had house-made spice and sauce packets at each table. Every table had a cheat sheet showing how long to barbecue each type of skewer. We tried the bbq scallops which were full of garlicky goodness and cold noodles which was a refreshing balance to the heat of the grill. Service 5/5: Friendly waiter. Gave us the run down on how things worked in the restaurant. Periodically checked in on us. No complaints. Ambiance 4/5: Prefacing that the high energy environment was not really my cup of tea but I know others may prefer it. Bright flashing lights and loud music playing over speakers drowned out conversation. That said, the tables were spaced well so every party had their own personal space and restaurant was clean. read more

Ganblaze - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

First off, I have to commend the servers. The raffle concept is genuinely fun and a creative idea for customers, but it honestly seemed like a nightmare for the staff. The machine kept jamming, and with only two servers on the floor from what I saw, they were constantly running back and forth to troubleshoot it on top of everything else they were already managing. As for the food, I felt it was overpriced for what you get. The place was so busy that there really wasn't much guidance or explanation. We had to ask twice just to understand how the raffle system worked, and there was also a small rack grill next to the skewer grill that no one explained, so we were left confused about its purpose. If you're going for the atmosphere, to hang out, chat, have a few beers, and snack, then sure, it works. But "snacks" is really the right word here because that's exactly how the skewers felt. The portions were small and expensive, and I honestly don't think two people could leave full without spending close to $100. I've been to places with larger selections and better value. (We bought a corn dog and pan fried dumplings after we left) That said, the raffle itself was a fun touch. My husband won a small stuffed capybara, which was cute. But when I played, I ended up waiting a long time because people ahead of me had 50 skewers' worth of raffle entries, and with the machine constantly jamming, the process dragged. read more

I came here for the first time with my fiance, our dinning experience was great, food was good, environment was fun, a new place that I could think to bring my family and friends here to often. Service wise was good. It was close to midnight when my fiance and I arrived to eat. First half of the experience was great! Second half was unacceptable. We saw some drinks on the menu and intrigued to try, so my fiance put in an order. We were informed by the staff that the bartender wasn't there anymore. They can't make the drinks, but they have beer available. We understood and expressed that we won't be ordering the drinks then. We got back to our table and there was another group dinning there. The group then left and chatting with the staff. Then suddenly, I saw a waiter went to the bar and started to make a drink (alcohol). There were milk, Kahlua and a can of something I couldn't recall, but I was observing and questioning whether or not I heard wrong that they didn't have a bartender available, how come the waiter was making drink? I couldn't order my drinks. I asked the staff and per his words "we don't have a bartender available, and we don't know how to make the drinks either. However, this group of customers come here all the time..." And the rest is self-explanatory. I felt disappointed and asked the staff again when he came back with our check. I asked him whether or not I didn't understand him correctly. I asked them is it because the group next to us come to dine often, therefore they get to order something that we were denied? The waiter explained to me that the group of customers are friend with the waiter who was making the drink. It was off the menu and it was like a gifting. Gifting? I came for the first time and I like the place, but this was unacceptable and irresponsible at the same time. It needs to be truthful and fair to all customers who are dinning in. You can't say one thing and come around in front of us, "gifting" a drink. Both waiters came to offer to make us drink now that I confronted them (it was passed midnight and close to 1AM), but I said no because to that point, it was meaningless. We paid and left. I felt pity for such a neat place and interesting restaurant. If you asked if I would come back, to be fair, I would for the food and experience, but I would not (emphasize on NOT) hope to encounter something so unfair like that ever again. read more

Located in the back of the food court where the bar use to be in Tangram, you'll find this place with a self serve area. You get seated and you walk up to find the various selections of meat. You take your selections and walk towards the end where you will find someone to count your items to put on your tab according to your table number. If you order any "specials" like ready to eat kitchen things, then you order via the iPad at your table. As a first time experience, it wasn't bad, meat was fresh and tasty with their various dipping powders. They also gifted a flower to moms on Mother's Day! Note: the bill can add up really fast! read more

definitely prefer this place to chubby skewers and its worth the experience if youve never been but probably not somewhere id go back. i thought they had a good selection of meat and flavors - favorites were black pepper beef and cumin lamb. the skewers are smaller but also cheaper so you can try a larger variety. its a fun place to go with a large group. there were small misfunctions like the skewer counter but theres a lot going on and they seemed short of staff. read more

Very lively and modern Chinese aesthetic. I loved the claw machine if you win for every 10 skewers you complete and put into the table. The service was friendly a little slow but I will attribute to how big the area is and multiple guest needing the servers. I love the selections of skewers you get to choose in the open refrigerator. The amount of meat was good for each skewers and the cuts was perfect. I enjoyed you had to do some of your own cooking so that was very fun. The cooked dish from the kitchen was the pan fried noodles, Eggplants, Enoki Mushrooms and the Scallops. The skewers after cooking were very tender and flavorful. I especially loved the Pig Intestine as it was very crispy after cooking. Definitely a fun place to bring friends and family to hang out. read more

It was a fun concept and I've been wanting to try a skewer spot with the rotating grill ever since the other one in Flushing closed a couple of years ago. We arrived right around when they opened for lunch and had to wait a bit for a table. No one told us what to do but I knew that we had to bring the bracelet with us while picking out skewers. They had a wide selection of ingredients available (vegetables, beef, pork, lamb, chicken etc) and I picked out some lamb, cumin lamb and beef tongue skewers. I don't know how the staff could tell the difference as the skewers all looked similar but they scanned the bracelet and I brought the skewers back to my table. They also had a fridge full of cold foods and oysters. At first the skewers on our grill weren't moving at all and it wasn't hot at all. After looking at the other tables, it turned out that our grill and smoke exhaust weren't even on so we had to flag down someone to help us. The chopstick/wet wipe kit on each seat was pretty useful. Tissues were hung above the grill. The skewers took a while to cook as our grill wasn't heated up yet. The cumin lamb skewer tasted the best to me. I think it would be helpful if they had a guide for how long to cook each type of skewer at the table. The smoke exhaust was right above the grill and blocking the light so the table also had a little lamp on the side to shine onto the meats to see if they were cooked or not. Check was paid at the table. There looked like to be an outdoor smoking area so if you're dining in, I'd recommend asking for a table away from the patio. Overall it was a fun concept to try but I won't be going back as you can get a lot more food from other skewer spots in flushing for the same amount of money. It's probably a more fun spot at night time then during lunch hours. read more

This was something fun to do as we arrive to flushing. I think the experience would have been better if the waiter allowed us to go to the bar and pick out our skewers instead of looking at the menu. The visual of the skewers would have allowed me to try more options inside of picking things I read on the menu. Place is clean and wasn't busy when we went. I would try another skewer bbq place so I can compare. read more

I went there today with my kids , it was our first time . The place has no air conditioner , it was so hot , they put a fan for us so it cools off a little bit. But not a great experience while you bbq and sweat at the same time . My kids are looking forward for the reward, we had 49 sticks and it didn't work . The machine didn't work . And the waiter passed by and said you didn't get anything , yes ! Coz the machine doesn't work ! Worst experience ever . 2 kids with 1 adult , we spent $160 plus tip almost 200! Came out the restaurant , smelly and sweaty , and my 2 kids were super disappointed . read more

A good late night place to go. They close at 3 AM. The servers were friendly and walked us through the process. The food took a little bit to grill so definitely not a place to go if you're starving or looking for a quick bite. read more

A new Chinese skewer spot just opened up in Tangram Mall, and it's already drawing big crowds so expect a wait. I waited almost an hour for a table of two, but once seated, the experience was fun and lively. They offer a skewer buffet where you can choose from a wide variety of options, from different meats and seafood to veggies, plus several appetizers to start. There's also a full bar, which is a nice touch if you're waiting or enjoying the meal. The different kinds of skewers are very flavorful and fresh! One of the fun highlights is at the end of your meal you put all your used skewers into a machine to redeem a prize, which adds a playful element to the experience. My only complaint is the environment inside. There are no windows, and with the grills constantly on, it gets very hot and humid, which can be uncomfortable while dining. Overall, it's a great spot for skewer lovers and worth checking out if you don't mind the wait and the heat. read more

What an interesting concept to have in Tangram. I have been meaning to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint! They staff started off with taking out order nd then after, we were given a bracelet. We were able to go up and pick up extra skewers as well as sizes and just tap the bracelet to add these items to our bill! The only thing is some food items such as the Fried Noodles, Naengmeyon and the Bibimbap have to be ordered with a server. Starting off, the Bibimbap was very basic, I do not think I will be ordering it again. However, the Naengmeyon and the Fried Noodles were absolutely delicious! We ordered another bowl of each to the table once we started getting in the groove of eating. The skewers were also great and the server notified us on how long it takes to cook them in the beginning of the meal so you have to pay attention! Definitely had a great time with my friends and it was nice that they had dishes other than the skewers so that we were able to start eating while they were cooking. My only complaint was that we were seated near the front and they had this changing screen that made a very loud and not enjoyable sound. read more

Tried @gainblaze for the first time - our initial attempt was nearly 4 hours! Pro tip: Add your name to the waitlist, and they'll text you when your table's ready. You can even track how many parties are ahead, but you've got about 10 minutes to check in or lose your spot. We went on a Tuesday evening, and the place was surprisingly chill at first (almost empty!), though it filled up later--makes sense since it's a late-night vibe with alcohol on the menu. The concept is super fun and interactive: You get a bracelet with a QR code. Head to the skewer station and grab as many (or as few) as you want--one to sample, or load up! The best part? Try a single skewer to test flavors before committing to more. (Just remember which is which--it's on you! ) At the end of the line, the cashier scans your bracelet and inputs each item. The tablet's mostly in Chinese, and prices vary by skewer, so they double-check closely (we saw them squinting to distinguish beef from lamb ). . Then, grill everything right at your table! Timing can be tricky--we're not taking chances with raw chicken. Staff are helpful and will flag if something's done, but when it's busy, burnt skewers are on you. Seasoning packets on the table add great flavor, though the "melted cheese" side came as one big glob that didn't quite melt. Every 10 skewers earns a prize spin. We racked up 20... and won absolutely nothing. 0/2 . Live music was playing, which elevated the whole vibe--always a win! Overall, we loved the experience! The food was tasty, the self-paced portion control is perfect, and it's a fun, unique spot in Flushing's food scene. read more

Tried this place out!! Not worth it!! Everything will add up & prices are pretty hefty for single dishes!! You basically cook your own skewers & with every metal stick in the end, you put them in a slot machine & with every 10 sticks you could win a prize! Service was pretty bad, had someone take us to the table, sit us down, asked if it was our first time, left & never saw him again!! Had to chase down a waiter for the bill & to pay him!! SMH!! Ambiance was cute! Grill gets super hot in front of you as well!! read more

Come with a group of people so you can try a bit of everything. Roughly $2-$4 per skewer. Note: Each table accommodates 4 max, so if you have a large group, they can put you at two tables right next to each other. How it works: - You are given a wristband (1 wristband per table) with a QR code. Bring this with you when you get the skewers. They will scan the QR code and charge everything to your table. All skewers are labeled and are neatly displayed at the front. - The seasoned meats were pretty good. Definitely give the quail eggs and chicken skin a try! The only issue we had was that we never received one order that we placed at the table. There was a QR code sticker next to the grill and we were told that we could also order via phone by scanning the QR code. In the end, we never got the dish despite asking 3 different staff members about it multiple times. I also had to ask for it to be taken off our bill twice. Not sure if this was a communication issue, but we felt like they just brushed us off whenever we asked about the dish. Additionally, we were not able to get our skewers counted at the table. You are supposed to be able to toss the metal skewers down into the hole at your table and have the computer count out your skewers (10 skewers = 1 chance to win a prize). However, the machine wasn't working & seems to have not been working for a while (staff indicated that it most likely does not work prior to testing it out for us). We had to bring all the skewers to the prize counter in the back. We had over 70 skewers and did not win anything. There were other guests at the prize counter as well so it looks like a lot of the table counters aren't working, which is surprising given that this is a relatively new establishment. Btw, they did not explain how to order, the QR wristband, prizes, unlimited cheese, etc. to our friend that arrived prior to the rest of the group. I only know about how it all works from reading the reviews and from going to similar restaurants. No explanation was given regarding the grills and only when they saw me fiddling with the power button did they come over to turn on the grill. Overall, 3.5. Food was decent & prices are okay. Service could be a little better. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time. They finally officially opened, no longer having soft opening hours. The experience was not quite what it lived up to be but the food was good. Here's my experience. We came as a party of 9. First we put our name and number down for the waitlist. It took a little over an hour for us to be called. With the larger group, we take up 2 stations #17 and #18. They only gave us one bracelet marked #17. With the bracelet - you can grab skewers from the front and place them in a tray. The prices per skewer ranged from $1.29 all the way up to $5. The beef, lamb, chicken were all around that $1.99 price. We made multiple trips to get more skewers. We tried the chicken heart, chicken gizzards, chicken skin, chicken tendon, fish ball, fish tofu, beef ribs, lamb, cumin lamb, and orleans chicken. On the table there are spice packets, chopsticks, gloves, and floss picks. The are rotating racks for the skewers that holds up to 13 skewers and a flat laying grill on the side that you can manually flip on your own. There's also a QR code on the side that allows you to order side dishes or drinks. The gimmick or the draw of the restaurant is that you get to spin a virtual wheel for every 10 skewers you drop into the disposal chute located on your table. This chute wasn't registering any of the skewer sticks we dropped in. The waiter told us that it's due to the heat of the grills, and it affects the sensors. We can bring the skewers to the back station after our meal to try our luck. This ended up being a manual process where our kids were feeding the 90+ skewers into the machine. All of our spins resulted in no prize as I suspected. The beers we got were about $6 per bottle and we had ordered 8. That's about $50 on beer. Our total came out to $300 with tip. They almost added a random table to our bill because the waiter was not familiar with how the tables are set up. He kept trying to add #16 table to my bill, and I corrected him multiple times saying that's not mine. Overall take 1. Food is good - but waiting for them to cook could be bad if you're coming in hungry 2. Staff was nice - However I feel they are tired. One of the guys working there said he had 4 hours of sleep because they close at 4am. poor guy 3. The skewer chute system needs to be fixed - This place just opened for a week and it's already down. I know a lot of people are coming just for this experience 4. Prices are quite high - especially for beers. Skewers can be found outside on the street for roughly the same price but now you have to pay tax and tip on top of each one. 5. The wait was very long, if we didn't already have plans in Tangram we would've had to find something to do for over an hour 3.5 stars in my opinion and there are other skewer spots that won't hit your pockets as hard. read more

The skewers weren't bad, but they also weren't anything mind-blowing, especially for the price and portion size. The bigger issue for me was the service. It was really hot inside, we weren't offered ice head patches, and we had to wave down staff multiple times to refill out water. It honestly felt like our table was invisible at one point. Seating was also a bit cramped by where we sat. There was also a lottery game where you trade in 10 skewer sticks for a chance to win a prize, which lowkey felt like a scam. We submitted around 40-50 sticks and each time got "谢谢惠顾 / Thanks" .__. which isn't a prize. I'm glad I gave this restaurant a try, the concept is fun, but I wouldn't not come back. There are tastier more affordable skewer spots in NYC with better service. read more

I was super excited to check this spot out, but ended up thinking that it was only okay. Located inside Tangram mall, this is a new Chinese BBQ/skewers spot with the idea of being able to socialize and play games with tables next to you. The inside is spacious, with two levels and lots of tables. They also have lots of fun decor and music that make it energetic inside. Right now, they typically have a long wait for their dinner service. Fortunately, you can just put your name on a list and then go about your day until you get a text. We had about a two hour wait for a group of 8. We got a variety of skewers (most of which were priced at ~$2 each) and some side dishes. I thought that the skewers were alright. The marinade could be a bit stronger and the meat quality wasn't anything stellar. I felt that, overall, the seasoning was lacking. On the other hand, their side dishes were pretty good. I enjoyed their enoki mushrooms a lot! Overall, I thought that the food was only okay. However, we did socialize with other tables around us, which made the dining experience very fun. read more

Loveeeeeeeeeeee this place. The only sad thing is the waitlist. We happened to only be free 2 hours later, which the waitlist took 2 hours so it panned out perfectly. Wow where do I start with this place. You step into live music (yes someone is singing upstairs), large open space and you hear ding ding ding followed by a stuff animal traveling across the restaurant to its winning table, to their door sign/logo changing ever so often with all of it tabs flipping- so there was so much noise, like a casino, but amazed- not overwhelmed. We were also wowed by the large bowls of drinks at certain tables but let's take a step back. At your table there is some items already like utensils, napkins, and seasonings. Upon arrival you receive a QR code bracelet. You can walk up to the skewer bar, choose any skewers you want and let them scan it for payment to be made later, then you cook it at your table. The table has automatic rotation for the skewers. We also got a free cheese under the heated lamp for us to dip the skewers in. After eating, the table got 2 small holes, one on each side. That is actually where you throw in the finished skewer sticks. For every ten sticks, you'll see the raffle go off on the iPad. You can also order drinks at the iPad. There was a great selection, which we ended up with the beer tower. They also provide you with signs- to indicate if you want to drink on your own, or if you want workers to drink with you (good option if you cannot finish). One hiccup we encountered was that our table stopped counting the skewers mid way. We asked a worker and he tested it out with extra skewer sticks. Confirmed table was broken, apologized, and said he would get another table for us once it opens up. But maybe 20-30 min later we hear the table started counting again, counting for the previous sticks we entered too. This was not a big hiccup, and employee was really nice about it too. Sadly, we are 50 skewers but did not win anything. Suspect need to go over the 50 amount to get something unless is really actually random lol. Btw, they also have small table games to play at your table if you ask for them. Overall, food was great, ambiance was amazing and we were very entertained with their gimmicks. We all had a really great time here. Also, have to love that all that was around $50-$60/pp. Again, the only sad part is the wait. Tried a few times to go again but hard to get the queue to wait for who knows1.5-3 hours to then rush back before they skip you. read more

We have China at home! I went to a skewer place in China with a similar concept and was very excited to see this shows up in flushing! The best bites for me were the beef ribs. The cumin lamb ribs were also tasty and wasn't that gamey (coming from someone who's very sensitive to the gaminess of lamb). They give you unlimited melted cheese, which carried the whole meal in my opinion. It's quite salty. The sauce packets weren't as good as the ones in China. I felt it tasted like cardboard for some parts? It was quite expensive for what it was and for being in flushing. I left not that full and after tip and tax it was $30/person. read more

Heard a lot of buzz about the place and been looking forward to trying it! First of all, it's behind the food hall, where the beer garden used to be. I was a bit confused about the location at first. It is extremely spacious and well designed, with giant screens playing karaoke videos and very well ventilated. The idea is to pick out your own skewers (raw) and cook them on your table. The grill turns the skewers by itself, so no need to do extra work on your end. The selection is skewers are pretty impressive ranging from beef, lamb, chicken, seafood, etc. There are also cold apps. You can also order noodles, rice etc, as well as a fun selection of drinks. I tried Coors light with tomato juice for the first time and it was like a lighter Bloody Mary. Pretty good! My favorite skewers were all the lamb ones, so well seasoned. Service was fantastic, very helpful! Great experience and I can't wait to come back read more

This place is fantastic. The ambience here is upbeat, lively, with live music. Came with in a group of 3, but can def accommodate larger parties. Also the service is great. Despite really cooking everything yourself, the staff helps out a lot, refilling drinks, and demos how to start off cooking the skewers. And complementary cheese Then there's the skewers. Pretty bomb. Have been to a couple of bbq skewers around flushing and this is def one of the better spots. From chicken, to cartilage, to tongue, hearts, lamb, beef, pork, eel, .... There's a low of variety. The skewers alone are worth coming here. Also to note, their extra spicy cumin...isn't spicy. So just pile that stuff on your plate and go at it. I cannot comment the other dishes they have because the skewers are so good. Also they gamify the skewers, like how Kura Sushi does with their plates where once you reach 10 skewers, there's a roulette to win a prize. We haven't won anything but still fun with a couple of drinks in you. read more

Some places are about the food. Some are about the energy. @gan.blaze somehow does both. Hidden inside Tangram Mall, this new BBQ skewer spot pulls you into a world of glowing lights, live singers, smoky grills, and tables filled with laughter and empty skewer sticks. The skewers keep coming, the cocktails keep pouring, and the fun doesn't stop--especially when you exchange your finished sticks for a chance to win prizes. Between the music, games, crafted drinks, and skyline views outside, it feels less like dinner and more like a full night experience. read more

Ive been to so many skewer places in my life and this was the worse tasting one ive been to. The beef tasted bad and had a weird aftertaste and the chickenskin wasnt good as well. The lamb was also really gritty and the eggplant didnt taste good either. We also got the sweetcorn with cheese and it tasted like candy. I dont know why they put mayo in it also. The food took really long to cook and the seasoning has peanuts which I am allergic to. So my only option to sauce was the extra spicy seasoning and the sweet and sour. The service was fine the concept was there. The food just wasnt good. I came on a friday so not many people were there and it is a nice place to eat but I wouldnt recommend here. read more

Ganblaze is a new spot that recently opened in the Tangram Mall. When you enter they give your table a wristband used to scan and calculate the food for your table. The staff will explain to you how to use the skewer cooker and how to retrieve the skewers to be calculated. Ganblaze main feature is their abundance of various skewers which range from seafood, pork, chicken, beef and veggies. They also have some offal cuts. Some are already preseasoned where others are not. Items are priced differently depending what you get. The trays are underneath and they do provide a disposable glove to grab items. In addition to the skewers they also have appetizers. At the table there were some seasoning packets which had mild, spicy, sesame and sweet and sour sauce. We had a great time and we liked the food that was offered. It was for sure a unique experience. We did appreciate the employees checking in on us to make sure everything is okay. At the end you can have a chance to win a prize. 10 skewers usually equal to one entry. At the time the skewer disposal was not working at the tables so there is a communal one in the back. The bathrooms are unisex individual closed stalls with a shared wash area that includes mouthwash. We would consider going again especially for late night since they are open late. read more

Skewer place. Pretty affordable. It's pretty big. And the staff were friendly. They didn't have bags for clothes but if requested they will bring something for you to put your stuff. This was above and beyond as we asked and they said they didn't have anything and came back with whatever they had (giant trash bags) to put our stuff. Great service and great staff. I don't know if I would pick this place myself. But my friends selected this place and it was a good experience. The food was good pretty standard for skewers. The drinks are pretty good as well. But see there was a lot of seating and a lot of space. They have a holiday thing going on where for every 10 skewers you purchase you can have a chance to win a prize. We had about 40 skewers but we did not win anything. But we did see some other people when plush teddies. Overall very friendly staff and a great place to chill and have some skewers read more

Pretty long wait especially for dinner. I don't think there are reservations. But since this is at the mall you can put down your name and come back when the table is ready. Services were okay. There was a language barrier as most of them speaks mando and very little English. I think that's is why they didn't really offer much service for our table. We order drinks and they forgot our soda. When we asked for it they put it in our bill twice and we had to get it corrected. The bill was also all in Chinese so the best way is to count the items to check if the bill is correct. We were also kinda confused as to where to put the empty skewer sticks and the use of the equipment on the table. The block of light they put on our table is I guess decoration because it didn't do anything for us. Make sure you align the ring on the skewers to the grill so the skewers will turn on its own. We put the cooked skewers on top of the plate of the grill but it's not ideal because the skewers are metal and it's on top of the fire so it gets hot. The mini screen on the table is decoration. You can't use it. It take a bit to cook the skewers and it gets really hot through out the meal from the fire of the grill. Anyways you get one watch per table. This is used to charge your table based on the skewers you pick up. After you pay your bill you get to play the game. It's 10 skewers per play. It is a roulette and if it lands on a prize you get a prize. Looking at the past play it looks like it takes quite a bit of tries to land on a prize square. read more

New Chinese BBQ skewers spot in Flushing. Came to try after work one day. It was very lively and busy for the dinner crowd. I was excited to try it as the concept was really cool with the auto-rotator grill. They have seating in two floors (main floor where you enter and second floor like a mezzanine with more seating) and the tables are spaced well so it doesn't feel cramped or crowded. They have two menus, self serve and an order to table menu. The self serve selection is on the main floor. They have a wide selection of skewers- lots of meats, some veggies, and some salads, fruits, etc. I really liked that they were on cold plates and you could see that it was really cold so you know it's being kept well. I tried a whole bunch of stuff, my favorites were the big lambs, beef, mushroom wrapped in bacon, abalone and chicken hearts. The chicken hearts were surprisingly tender. My server Lance (Chinese name Hongei) was super nice and helpful with explaining how everything worked and also with cooking times. Pretty much everything cooks in 8 minutes. The order to table menu is a QR code menu and has items like fried rice, foil packet bbq items (corn and cheese, sauerkraut beef, chili garlic oysters, etc), beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and the server brings it to the table. The table also has everything you need, a wet wipe, different types of dipping powders (mild cumin, spicy cumin, sesame, generic dipping, salt, sweet and sour sauce). The tissues are hanging like sloths on the lamps at each table. I realized it all the way at the end so I figure I help someone else out. I enjoyed mixing the extra spicy cumin and the sesame powder for the perfect mix. It wasn't spicy at all to my tastbuds, just perfect for the grilled meats. They also gave cheese on the grill which went really well with the rice cakes, it isn't mozzarella like I thought it was, it was some salty cheese that was really good. They have live music and it can get pretty loud, it was just a good vibe and a fun time. At the end, they count your skewers and you can play an electronic raffle. You get one go per 10 skewers to try to win a prize. It was pretty fun way to end the meal. read more

This Chinese skewer place opened up where the old beer hall was in Tangram. When you go in there are fridges full of meat and veggies and many grill stations. You pick out the skewers you want and then you scan the bracelet that is unique to each table in order to add those skewers to your tab. Food and drinks can also be ordered via a QR code. The grill has a rotating mechanism so you don't have to turn the skewers yourself which was pretty neat! There are also seasoning packets on the table and each 10 skewers you eat you roll a wheel for a chance to win a prize. The variety of meat was great but there could be more variety of veggies. The black pepper beef and cumin lamb were my favorite. It's a fun time and I'd recommend this place for skewers if you're a true meat lover. read more

Ganblaze, located inside Tangram, is a must-visit if you're in the mood for delicious skewers and a lively atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the energy in the restaurant is vibrant, especially with the live music playing. Just a heads-up, it does get really busy, and the music can get loud--so it might be tough to have a conversation without raising your voice. The menu here offers an impressive variety of skewers, and the process is pretty unique. Once you're seated, you're handed a bracelet, which you take to the front to select your skewers. They also offer a variety of appetizers and noodles, so there's something for everyone. The food is flavorful, and it's clear they take pride in what they serve. One thing to note: while the experience is fantastic, the reservation system could be a bit stressful. We received a message saying we had 10 minutes before our table was ready, so we rushed over within 2 minutes of receiving it. However, despite responding within the minute, they had already given our table away. That said, the food and vibe definitely make up for it. Highly recommend checking it out, but be sure to stay on top of your messages and act quickly to avoid any disappointment. read more

Came here on a Friday night with my cousins and had such a fun time! There was live music (throwback songs of Jay Chou is always a plus in my book). It was so much fun eating skewers that we would never think of getting like the lychee beef rib skewers which were our all time fave, wagu skewers, crayfish skewers and the foiled potatoes are a definite must! read more

I'm going to be real GanBlaze is on a whole different level. I actually traveled all the way from California just to eat here, and let me tell you, it was worth every single mile. The atmosphere is a total vibe, especially with the live music it really set the mood for the night. The food? Absolute perfection. We ordered a variety of skewers, and they were all grilled to perfection. The spices they provide (especially that sweet and sour sauce and the dry rubs) take the flavor to a point where Cupertino food comes nowhere close. You also HAVE to try the Korean noodle soup; it was so comforting and flavorful. To top it all off, our waiter was incredibly cool and made the whole experience even better with top-tier service. Nothing in the Bay Area beats the flavors here. I'll definitely be dreaming about this meal until I can make it back! read more
