    Tornado Potato, beef skewers, Lamb(20), King Oyster Mushroom(10)
    Amy L.

    Interior and exterior design is very nice. The skewers were good albeit inconsistent. Sometimes they came out nice and hot, sometimes just warm, sometimes seasoned perfectly, sometimes leaves some to be desired. Nothing special with the service, but nothing terrible either. This location feels more spacious than the hacienda one.

    beef and lamb skewers
    Anna W.

    I've been here several times now, and it's easily one of my favorite skewer spots. Everything I've ordered has been seasoned really well and packed with flavor. My favorites are the lamb, squid legs, beef, and potato skewers. The cucumber salad is also a must order! The wine shots are fun, tasty, and a great addition to the meal. Ordering is done through an iPad, which makes the process easy, and it's also simple to flag down a server whenever you need something. The interior is beautifully decorated and really transports you to an old Chinese atmosphere, making the dining experience feel even more authentic.

    Tried Little Skewer for the first time and it definitely lived up to the hype. The skewers were freshly grilled, well-seasoned, and had that smoky charcoal flavor. Loveee the chicken skin! We also ordered the cucumber salad (highly recommended!), grilled garlic chives, and kaolengmian, which were all surprisingly good and helped balance out the heavier meats. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes, and the atmosphere was lively. You can call the service via the buttons at your table. They also have live music. Great atmosphere. I'd come back again.

    I've been to quite a few skewer places in the past year and this is definitely one of my favorites now! It is so well priced and a perfect vibe for some drinks and skewers with friends. We were seated fairly quickly and ordered off of a tablet which was nice and simple. For food we started with the garlic enoki mushrooms. They were packed with so much flavor and had a nice kick to it! We also got the beef, pork belly, squid legs, and chicken skin skewers. All were delicious and well seasoned. The quantity they sell them in is high, but the meat pieces are pretty small so it makes sense. My absolute favorites were the beef, which was slightly sweet, and the chicken skin, which was sooo crispy and also with a slightly sweet flavor to it. I would definitely come back here and it seems really fun with a bigger group!

    Little Skewer is a Chinese restaurant serving barbecue skewers with multiple locations across Southern California. This location is tucked in a small plaza in Diamond Bar and has an old school interior reminding me of old Chinese dramas. We arrived right when they opened for lunch and were seated immediately. We ordered our food through the tablet which was quick and convenient. POPCORN CHICKEN ($13.99) - this was pricier than I'm used to but the portion size was also bigger. It was crispy and I couldn't tell if there was spice or not or if it was just lingering from the other dishes. 4/5 KUNG FU CORN ($7.59) - this was slightly spicy but it was not crunchy like I'd normally expect. It had a chewy texture which I wasn't the biggest fan of. 3/5 POTATO TORNADO ($5.59) - the potato was crispy and I liked the chili powder. 4/5 GRILLED SCALLOPS ($7.58 for 2) - this reminded me of dishes you'd see at Chinese banquets between the noodles and the flavor. The sauce was garlicky and this was one of our favorite things. 5/5 LAMB ($10.49) / PREMIUM MARBLED BEEF ($9.99) - these were good. 4/5 CHICKEN SKIN ($7.99) - these were crispy, sweet, and spicy. It reminded me of chicharron but sweet. I liked these, but just a note that they are not good as leftovers as they were hard and chewy. 3.5/5 PORK BELLY ($9.99) - some of the skewers had more fat than others which meant they also had less meat. The flavor was similar to the others though. 4/5 KING OYSTER MUSHROOM ($7.99) - these were really good! We loved the flavor of the sweet chili sauce that was different from the seasoning of all the other meats. This was definitely my favorite of the skewers. 5/5 Don't worry that some of the skewers come in large quantities because they're small portions. The food wasn't crazy spicy but it accumulated as we ate and it had a lingering spice throughout the meal. There's also a karaoke machine that adds to the lively vibe, especially on weekends. I can see this being a really fun place to go with a large group.

    Wow! Fun drinks, fun atmosphere, and delightful skewers! I felt like I truly couldn't stop eating skewer after skewer and there were a few that pleasantly surprised me! So of course the lamb and beef were as perfect as you'd expect but their mushroom and potatoes were just as delicious! Can't wait to go back to explore more.

    We ordered lamb and beef skewers, golden pot soup, and grilled scallo w vermicelli. No complaints. The skewers were adequately seasoned and tender. Scallops were properly cooked. The sweet and sour flavor of the golden pot was a great comfort food and complement to the skewers. No issues with service. Reasonably priced. They put extra effort into a regal traditional ambience.

    It was my first time having skewers and when i tell you i fell in love with this place. Not only is this place super cute with the traditional Chinese interior, the food tasted authentic too. We got the pork belly, lamb and chicken skin and to my surprise all 3 were so good it's literally so hard to choose a favorite. I think we had the PERFECT mix of flavors though with these 3 choices. we had a corn cheese (heavenly) too which i liked to wrap around the skewer sometimes. This was enough to feed my female friend and i. I enjoyed it so much i kept recommending it to my family and friends and even bf so i could have it again ASAP

    Lamb(20) - hand for size reference
    Taryn B.

    The little skewers truly are little ~ the 20 Lamb skewers were about the size of my pinky for each one, which did mean the meat was more charred and definitely thoroughly cooked. I placed an order online for a specific time to pick up before I drove from Alhambra and once I arrived, discovered an email that they had been ready for over 20 mins bc my order was ultimately fulfilled for the "ASAP" time instead of the time I knew I'd be arriving due to the drive length, so they weren't fresh off the grill and a little lukewarm but still enjoyable

    Get the Squid Legs!
    Tiffany P.

    Home of the tastiest Chinese BBQ skewers I've ever had! My go-to order never changes: Squid Legs, Marbled Beef, Pork Belly, and King Oyster Mushroom - all packed with seasoning! The Cucumber Salad is refreshing and balances out the meat-heavy lineup. The Roasted Fat Beef & Eggplant is unctuous and savory. We like the Golden Pot too for its bright and tangy broth. It even comes with free unlimited broth refills. The only downside? I wish they'd bring back the Durian Pizza! One thing that sets this place apart is the ordering system. If you're not big on interacting with staff, you'll appreciate the tablet - just tap what you want and it goes straight to the kitchen. Need anything else? There's a call button at the table. The service isn't really warm or chatty, but it's efficient and gets the job done. I'm always impressed by the interior's rustic charm. The ornate and festive decor looks warm and inviting, making this spot perfect for sharing plates, hanging out, and lingering conversations. Bonus: there's even karaoke for anyone ready to sing their heart out! The crowd loves to hoot and holler for those brave souls, no matter how in or out of tune they are. It's just fun vibes and solid food here :)

    Chicken Skin(10)
    James C.

    Excellent food and ambiance! I like how the skewers are pre-cooked which saves a lot of time compared to cooking them yourself. The soups are refillable (broth) which is awesome! I like ordering one for the table to accompany all the meat skewers. You can also add ingredients to the soup to make them go further.

    New Eggplant Egg dish.  : (
    David L.

    I would have still put 5 stars, but I want the restaurant to look at this review. Please bring back the previous eggplant beef dish! The new one isn't any good and looks.. just bad. Lol. we've brought many friends here and the old eggplant beef dish was always impressive to them, this new one.. well look at the photo !

    Chicken Wing(1) Pork Belly(20)
    Elizabeth X.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon right when they opened. == FOOD == We got some pork belly skewers, boneless beef skewers, a potato skewer, garlic enoki mushrooms, 2 chicken wing skewers, 1 lamb skewer, and 2 beers (BOGO event). Food was very good, the pork belly was pretty filling, and the garlic enoki mushrooms were sooo delicious. Everything was seasoned very well. == SERVICE == You order on an ipad and the workers bring out the food for you. It's kept warm on a heated plate while you eat the other skewers. == AMBIANCE == It feels like you're transported to China when you step inside Little Skewer. The decoration inside is beautiful. It seems that at night, there are also singers or performances since there is a mic at the corner of the room.

    I recently moved to the area with my wife and wanted to try a local KBBQ spot. During a…read moreneighborhood walk, we saw this restaurant and felt the inkling to try it especially since there was a sign that indicated under new management. Upon entering the restaurant the host was friendly and seated us without a reservation which was very convenient since we were starving. The restaurant was clean and there were some TVs that were playing sports channels. We were given standard banchan and the steamed egg was cooked perfectly. The menu had an array of options such as prefixed combo and ala carte selections. We choose the mid level combo and wow there was ALOT of meat. My wife and I were blown away at the value of the combo because we underestimated how much brisket, bulgogi and short ribs would be coming. The server was attentive and assisted us with cooking our meats perfectly. The meat cuts were great and very flavorful so we ate to our hearts content until we were able to satiate our appetites. Overall the experience was so great that I came back a second time with my mom and brother and they enjoyed the place as well! I recommend this KBBQ spot to anyone looking for a great value and good service!

    Came here on a Friday night and it was quite a strange experience. The parking lot was empty, but…read morethe restaurant was open. We went inside and the entire place was empty and quiet, except for a smaller room on the side which had one party in it. It took a while for us to be greeted by anyone, but after someone walked out and saw us, we were quickly seated in the empty part of the restaurant. We ordered C2, which is a combo for 2 people. The quality of the meat was pretty good, I have to say. And the staff member cooked the meat for us; however, there were times when she was cooking the meat and left, and we could tell the meat was burning. She would come back after a while to flip the meat, but for some cuts, it was a little darker than desired. The sides were just alright, and it took some time to get refills on water. Overall, for the price you are paying, which was about $85 after tip, I feel there are far better places for KBBQ.

There were plenty of empty tables. But since the servers cook the meat at your table, it seemed they didn't have enough staff to seat more people. We waited about 20 minutes, and when they finally started opening more tables, the host seated a group that arrived after us first. That was frustrating, especially after we had already waited so long. After we finally got our table after 25 minutes, we ordered Hodong's Favorite Combo, radish kimchi cold noodles, lunch box and a watermelon mocktail. The mocktail was forgotten. My wife also needed a fork, which I asked the host for, then another server, then our server. Nobody brought it. Our server didn't acknowledge me when I asked while she was cooking, so when I asked again after the first batch of meat, she replied, "I know, I'll get it." A quick acknowledgment earlier would have made a difference. It felt like requests and orders kept getting forgotten. We did enjoy the food, which is why I'm giving three stars. But after waiting for a table, a drink, and a fork, it was funny how quickly the check arrived.

Some food can feel heavy, make you feel a little bloaty, I dont get that feeling when eating here. This place has "it" factor. The smoked ribs and the grilled chicken breast (w/o bbq sauce) are delicious! The salads are delicious, the dressings superb. The sides (theyre decent...pretty good) -- I gravitate to the mac n cheese, asparagus, and the baked potato! Now, the service is impeccable! A well run operation! Whenever you ask for something, no one stands around waiting for the server to it. They will carry out the request OR ENSURE that someone takes care of it immediately. Alan has a kind way about how he cares for his customers. No ask is too big and he is up front about everything. If someone looked off, he spotted it in the demeanor of the guest.
