    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    BUS . I tried this restaurant up in NorCal in Fremont and was excited to see they had locations in SoCal! This place Isnt your tradition skewer place in the sense that you don't grill it, but everything is already cooked for you. All the skewers are so yummy and they all taste very different. I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the chicken skin, squid legs, and beef belly. Those are definitely the highlights. Service was fast and helpful, and I enjoyed that there was a drawer built in the table with extra napkins and utensils. The decor is quite stunning and very cute! Although I didn't drink, this place seems to be a popular spot to drink with friends as they sell large amounts of shots for a reasonable price. Overall very good and I'd definitely come back!

    This place is so cool. There was a little waiting but inside was packed, obviously it was a Friday evening. I went there at before 7pm, trying to avoid the crowd. When we got in there's olden decorations with pictures and seats and chairs in wood. Cool vibes right? The food was mostly towards the spicy side, I had to keep drinking iced water lol. We ordered a mixed of beef, lamb, octopus and shrimp skewers and chicken wings, all came in with mild to medium spiciness , including the cucumber salad. We also ordered steamed scallops and oyster and cheesy corn. These were not spicy, luckily For those spicy enthusiasts you should come n check it out ~! We enjoyed it with our Soju and hot tea. We also ordered dessert but forgot what it was but tasted delicious. We came out with full stomach ~~ yummy for your tummy

    Pro tip: make a reservation. The wait can get long. We didn't know and ended up waiting about an hour and a half for a table of three. Service was just okay--not particularly friendly or attentive, but nothing terrible either. They got the job done. The food is where this place shines. The skewers were really tasty, and I liked that you could choose your spice level. Everything comes out piping hot, so be careful, but it tasted fresh and well-prepared. The space is cozy and has a more intimate vibe, which I liked. Overall, I'd come back--just with a reservation next time.

    I've heard good things about this place and it does live up the the hype. it got busy on a random weekday but there's a waitlist. Food was so good ! and service was quick like they're use to turning over tables. And the food was reasonably priced. Great place to go grab a drink or eat soup on a cold day

    Rana M.

    Great food with super good atmosphere and fast service. You order on an ipad and the staff take care of the rest. I got the osmanthus wine this time and it was perfect with the food. And the tornado potato is the absolute best

    On Yelp it's called "Pot Pot" but inside and the menu calls it "Pot Pot & Tea"…read more Essentially, this place is a Taiwanese hotpot similar to Boiling Point. You pick a pot of food, it comes out on a burner, and then you eat it while it's cooking on a small fire. When I first saw the menu prices online, I thought there was a surcharge because it was online but when I actually arrived, the prices online were correct. In essence, it's like a more expensive version of Boiling Point. I got the Beef Hot Soup Pot and it was 23.99 for dinner, which is more expensive compared to Boiling Point which is less than 20 before tax. So it's costing more than BP. There are other pots on the menu too which is about the same price as BP which is like 20 bucks. I was kinda surprised that the ingredients were pretty much like for like in terms of what is inside it. In terms of taste, it's similar to BP as well, I feel the pot here is a bit bigger but I felt like I was eating a lot of cabbage. I don't think there was more beef/meat. They also have the bean sauce (which is my favorite), but it's a little bit saltier here. Service here is okay. The employees don't really walk around to check on you. They mostly stay in the front counter huddled together. I struggled to get a water refill until the very end when I got my check. The interior is pretty big, the parking lot wasn't packed when I arrived and there was plenty of parking spaces. Restaurant was a bit empty during peak dinner time. Overall, my impression of this place is that it's a more expensive version of Boiling Point which makes it just okay in my book. If you are craving BP and don't want to wait for those lines, this is the next best thing but I feel like the beef pot shouldn't cost 3 dollars more than BP. After tax and tip you're pushing like 30 dollars for a Beef Pot.

    Definitely a hole in a wall!…read more Came here with my fiancé and future father-in-law (FFIL) because we decided to have dinner to late to go to our other vegetarian restaurant. And after a quick search on Yelp we came across Solo Hot Pot! We're all vegetarian AND we can't have onion or garlic. So that means our choices are limited.. BUT! After a quick call here we found out that they have 11 vegetarian broths AND neither of them contain onion or garlic! SCORE! I also have been wanting hot pot for the longest and my fiancé doesn't normally care for it but with my FFIL in my corner (he loves it too!) We decided to come here because it closes late as well! We came here around 8ish and it's in this dark parking lot that seemed so out of place.. But as we parked you see Solo Hot Pot just glowing.. Because all the other shops are closed LOL but we make our way in and it was much smaller than I thought! When you come in, to your left side you see a bowl as well as tongs to start grabbing what you want in your hot pot. It's just one long section (veggies in towards the entrance and meats towards the end) and after a close look I see that the veggies are frozen.. hm hm hm, I see you Solo Hot Pot, freezing them makes them a bit heavier when you go weigh it! (Cost is $15.99/lb) So I had to be strategic because 1. I don't want to build an expensive pot and 2. I couldn't eat as much as I have before so I need to get just enough to fill me without over doing it. You also have a variety of other stuff like udon noodles, ramens, ramen egg (UGH SO GOOD!) and other things too! We all chose our ingredients and made our way to the front and choose our soups: DISCLOSURE: If you CANNOT DO SPICY make sure you let them know in ADVANCE as you choose your broth! A lot of these soups are SPICY and my fiancé and FFIL learned the hard way because they can't eat spicy (unlike me LOL) but the nice thing is you do get unlimited soup refills (Not broths, just soup base) and tea refills if you buy their iced tea! Super nice! there's even a sauce station and you can add on rice for 1.99/bowl. I had to convince my fiancé to get some so he wasn't dying from the spice. Very interesting but you pay at the end of the meal even though you weigh everything beforehand. My fiancé doesn't normally care or like hot pot but he actually liked this place! So yay! We'll be coming back but making sure we don't have their pots to spicy LOL

There were four of us, including my 6 year old nephew, and it turned out to be the ultimate family meal. Since it was my very first time experiencing hot pot, I wanted to go all out and try a bit of everything. So we ordered both the Wagyu Experience and the Mo-Mo Experience, which gave us access to all four delicious broth bases. While waiting for our main meat cuts to arrive at the table, we checked out the self serve area. Their savory Japanese curry is mouthwatering, and they had a cold noodle dish that was super tasty. I had to exert some serious self control not to fill up on the curry before the main event, but it was just so good. Once the meats arrived, my sister showed me how to cook them in the bubbling hot pot. Every single broth had its own unique, rich flavor profile, and every single one was delicious. The quality of the meat here is premium grade, and the marbling on the Wagyu beef was absolutely outstanding. I'd love to see where they source their meats because everything tasted ridiculously fresh, right along with the items at the veggie station where they offer over 20 different vegetables, noodles, and toppings. This place is also a major win for families. My nephew said he actually likes this place way better than Korean BBQ spots because smoke doesn't blow in his face! On top of that, I absolutely love that they offer a kids' achievement incentive for straight A students. It's such a wonderful touch for families. And I loved the ambiance with fun tunes playing throughout the restaurant. Just writing this review is making my mouth water thinking about the incredible food we had.

Lots of memories with friends, family, and a lot of people who aren't a part of my life now, either sadly or good riddance wise. It's located on the second floor of the business plaza building. The times that I've gone, there hasn't been too much of an issue finding parking. There's layers of spots around the periphery of the plaza. Sometimes there's a wait, but I've never had to wait for too long, even for their lunch or their dinner hours. Many changes have been made since the last time I've been there I'm sure (of course rising prices due to the capitalist hellscape we live in), but it's still the same. Paper pot shabu. Unique and eye catching. Since its inception, I don't think I've seen any other place do it like this. It's like a metal base that gets heated up, a basket exterior gives the shape to the "bowl" and the paper helps hold all of the soup in. I'm sure that it makes for easier clean up, hopefully. My go to has always been the "Spicy Yaki" broth since it both has a decent king and some sweet umami flavor to it. Nothing spicier than Shin Ramyun noodles if that's a good indicator of heat level. Love the little grinding of the sesame seeds at the start for the sesame sauce. It's crazy that I did that at a shabu shabu place first and not a katsu place. Trendsetters. Not sure if they still have it with the new/digital menu, but my friends and I always got the "WOW" add on for an extra $3 and it comes with sausages, dumplings, ramen, fish and rice cake, and kamaboko. With all of this, the mixed veggies, udon, serving of rice, and your protein, it's quite filling. I usually get lamb or beef. Always filling, good service, solid shabu shabu back when only this place and Jazz Cat were our only options.
