Little Skewers was such a good spot! The food came out hot and flavorful, and everything we ordered was really enjoyable. The skewers were well seasoned and had a nice crispy texture, and I also really liked the enoki mushrooms and cheesy dish. The ambiance was nice and casual, which made it a great place to sit, eat, and hang out with friends. The service was also really friendly and attentive. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

This place doesn't take reservations, and the line is always long! I waited almost two hours on a Saturday evening for a party of four. It was VERY loud inside - turns out they had an entertainer named Adam who would sing Chinese and English songs. You could pay $20 for a song request. You order everything on the tablet. There is a call button on each table to get service. The skewers are good but tiny portions. What's really good here is the chicken wing! I also really like their malatang and golden soup. The meat in the soups is fatty though. Credit card accepted. Plenty of parking. Bathroom in the back. read more

Really cute place! Good ambiance, nice casual/formal place, the decorations are really what makes this place stand out. Definitely get the shrimp skewers. Best item I had here. Lamb was also good. The squid legs were also fire, probably skip the whole squids (not as flavorful). Chives were good, skip the scallop with vermicelli (tasted very so-so, scallops weren't fresh). Eggplant with egg wouldn't get again (pretty mushy, hardly any flavor). Was also eyeing their hot pot/soup items. Might have to come back to try next time Nice waitresses, tables have a call attendant feature for check/if you need anything. read more

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. read more

Little Skewer - Tornado Potato, beef skewers, Lamb(20), King Oyster Mushroom(10) - Chinese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ambiance is great! Food is also super great with a wide variety of skewers, soups and dishes. Its great for those who also want to drink and listen to live music. I really enjoy the freedom to order whenever you want through the tablet at the table and eat at your own pace. Highly recommended for families and group of friends. read more

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. read 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. read more

We came here and were having a good time until they announced last call earlier than the stated 10:30 PM. Mind you we ordered more soju before 10:30 but they still said no The whole experience made us feel like we weren't really welcomed there. I'm giving this place 3 stars because the food was good, but the service could definitely be better. we didn't feel like the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

Little Skewer - Lamb(20) - hand for size reference - Chinese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

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 :) read more

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. read more

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.

Little Skewer - New Eggplant Egg dish. : ( - Chinese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

I am a big fan of lamb, so was ecstatic when I saw that each order of lamb skewers came with 20. They're not large pieces of meat, but got the job done being decently moist with a nice layer of cumin and spicy seasoning. For skewers, we also ordered the squid, beef, and potato skewers which were all very tasty. Not alot of char but the meats were fairly tender. The golden pot was a pretty surprising hit at our table. The gold almost florescent broth has an interesting sour kick, almost like pickled veggies. Soup was a nice contrast to the meaty skewers and came with a variety of hot pot favorites like fish cake, imitation crab, napa cabbage, wood ear mushroom, vermicelli, and thinly sliced meat. Also when they see that you are running low on broth, they will pour some more in. This was especially helpful because they serve this over a fire which can evaporate alot of the soup. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, and was even packed on a Monday night. Had a great experience and the food felt very familiar! read more

Went to the one in Hacienda Heights, loved it so much and was glad to have found a sister restaurant in Diamond Bar. This review is for the one in Diamond Bar. Wow, this one is much better looking than the one in Hacienda Heights. Feels like you walk into a Chinese restaurant you see from Kung Fu movies. The decor is breath taking. Loved the decors. You order the foods from their iPad tablet. Ordering is very simple, see what you like, just add to your order. Suggestion, do not order everything at once, order a few items, submit it. They will bring them out shortly. Once you are about done with the current foods, order more items, this way, your foods come out fresh and hot. If you order everything at once, the foods will sit there and gets cold. The warmer thing doesn't keep the food hot. I like my water cold. The water from the kettle is not cold at all. Ask them to add ice if you prefer your water cold. We ordered the followings: - Tornado Potato (so good, one of our favorites here) - Butter Pancake (it was ok, kinda bland) - Grilled Egg Crepe (didn't like it so much) - Steaky Lamb (very good) - Premium Marbled Beef Skewers (oh, so tasty and yummy, another favorite) - Beef Aorta (was interesting, didn't know it was artery, not bad though) - Lamb Skewers (this was really good, it came with 20 skewers) Oh, forgot to mention, when we were there, we saw they had a Karaoke area. That was interesting. Not sure if you just go up and start singing or you have to order it from the iPad tablet. Not sure if it's a daily thing, or only on Friday, or on weekends. Will definitely be back to try different skewers. PS. Besides the skewers, they also have hot pots and lots of alcohols. read more

Service was mid but the skewers were tasty and a pretty good deal for the price. They are called Little Skewers for a reason and now I really understand why. They also had way more side dishes than actual meat options, which is great if that is what you want, but I really wish they had more options for skewers! read more

Many seats for waiting. Uses chowbus and text for waiting list. Waiting times could be up to an hour from our experience. Skewers were good and had enough seasoning and pairs perfectly with a couple of drinks. Love how this can be a dinner spot after work to chill and hang with friends. They also have live music occasionally and/or music playing from the small stage they have. Noticed they have small private rooms for groups bigger than 4 near the entrance as well. read more

Always a great and yummy experience at Little Skewers, this one seems to be a lot less crowded than the ones in the SGV area. The golden soup hotpot is good (love the sourness to the soup btw and they will refill the soup at your request).. the grilled scallop is good.. chicken skin skewer is BOMB, also recommend you get the classics like beef and lamb. You gotta get the cheese corn as well. Highly recommend coming here. Nice serving size for the cucumber salad as well (unlike Din Tai Fung, but just as good if not better) for your fiber needs. It's also known for drinking if that's your thing, which the skewers compliment very well. Imagine having a beer with a side of chicken skin skewers.. yum. Well you don't have to imagine if you just come here and see for yourself :D Cheers! read more

Little Skewer - Skewers!!! - Chinese Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Great drinking spot. I love that they sell skewers in sets of 10--makes it really easy to share and try a variety of dishes (family style). They also have similar group offerings for drinks (tea, which they sell by the pot, and alcohol mostly). I found the experience unique, fun, and memorable. The decor inside is also very Chinese and quaint. Service was fast and courteous. Regarding the food, my favorite was the oyster mushroom. The corn cheese and enoki mushrooms were a bit salty, and tofu skin was a bit plain. They use the same seasonings for all the skewers so as long as you like it, you're in for a treat. read more

Came here for an early dinner at 5:30pm, it does get pretty full towards 6pm! The restaurant is a tad small, but the interior and decor here takes you to another world. Can be very lively later in the night. We ordered a variety of things, lamb, beef skewers, sliced cucumbers, squid, ma la tang pot, and golden pot. Honestly the overall meal was okay, but the most annoying part were the beef skewers. The beef portions were very small, and they stick to the skewer stick. You really have to pull sooo hard for it to come off. I just gave up eating the beef skewers cause they were too annoying for me lol. The lamb seemed to be fine. The cucumbers were nice and fresh. The ma la tang wasn't spicy, but wasn't really anything special. I did like the golden soup more because it had a nice contrast. It's more sour(?) too in a good way. Overall, some items were a hit and miss. The interior sticks to the theme; however the chairs are kinda uncomfortable cause they're so hard lol. Also they're kind of sticky. We only came 30 mins after opening, and the chairs don't feel that great. Service was average. At least food came in a timely manner. read more

An amazing belated bday lunch with my friend. Everything is cooked in the kitchen and brought out to you. We enjoyed: - Jasmine tea - Surf clams (served chilled in a gyojah / mustart sauce) - Squid legs (Excellent) - Lychee Fish balls (SO DELISH) - Cucumber salad (The Best in SoCal!!!) - Enoki mushrooms in garlic, butter, a hint of vinegar - Grilled HUGE oyster (2); each oyster was cooked to perfection and so big, mine took 4-5 bites to eat - Vermicelli noodles (we added the left over sauce from the surf clams) - Pork / Chive / Shrimp boiled dumplings with a vinegar/sweet dipping sauce Some items were meh or pretty bad: - Fatty beef skewers (too tough to eat, do not order) - Scallop with vermicelli (scallop was too tiny) Lunch for two came out to about $100 + tax and tip. You will leave full. Service was pretty solid. The decor is really amazing like an old time Chinese neighborhood bar. I really wanna go back for the cucumber salad, surf clams and the baked oysters! read more

On a Sunday around 6pm, my friend made a reservation for 6 and we waited only around 10 minutes. This place seems to be constantly busy so it's good to make a reservation! Despite the business, the service is pretty fast here! We ordered a bunch of skewers and some appetizers and I'd say they were out in 5-10 minutes. You can tell the staff are busy too, so if you don't like interacting much with your waiter, this is a good place for you lol. Below are the things I tried! Tornado potato: this was a little bland, I wish the sauce covered more of it and that it was cut a little thinner Cucumber salad: fresh and well seasoned, not spicy! Enoki mushroom: this seemed to lack a little flavor or something else but was good paired with rice King oyster mushroom skewer: plump, juicy and flavorful. I really liked this one more than I thought! Tofu skin: very tasty with the sauce, and I like the texture of the very thin tofu skin read more

Be hungry but also be ready to wait... Little skewer offers authentic Chinese bbq style Xi'an or maybe Shaokao (I'm guessing pardon me if I'm wrong but this is what it reminds me of from being a kid growing up around amazing Asian cuisine). No matter what you get I feel every table should have the cucumbers at the table. I really enjoy this local gem... Before finding this place I would drive all the way to Monterey Park for my bbq. Lastly, be ready to use someone's phone at the table to order because that is how orders are placed it's efficient but very much like Amazon... Easy to over order. read more

If amazing sides and variety of meat are in your vision, little skewers is the place to be. I've been here 3 times now and I must say I'm actually more impressed each time. My main orders: Beef skewers 8/10 Can't go wrong with these, you get what you expect. Make sure to put the spicy seasoning Chicken skin skewer 9/10 I'm a sucker for chicken skin as long as it's very crispy and this delivers the perfect crunch each time! Scallop 9/10 Cooked in butter and garlic, this dish is also served with glass noodles for the PERFECT bite Golden pot 8.5/10 This soup has a slight tang to it but the broth is delicious. Served with an assortment of vegetables, imitation crab and pork. Great complement to any skewers This specific location is a little bit smaller but the service and pub style vibe gives it a unique ambience you can't find in many places. They also serve beer and wine! read more

I absolutely love Little Skewers, their food is perfect and very great amount for the price. Perfectly seasoned every time, and a plethora of food to choose from to satisfy your palate. The service is immaculate with their button system if you need waters or a server to come over, which is seamless for moments where you don't need much help. Lastly the ambiance was pristine, love the dim seating, and the napkins hanging overhead that matches the interior really well. The waiting area is small but well spaced enough. Definitely will always recommend as it is my favorite restaurant! read more

Okay, let me break this down for you! I have been wanting to try this place for months. I have been waiting for a free Friday and finally I was free to go! We got here around 6 PM and it wasn't too busy. We were able to find parking up front. We decided to order some pork belly, potatoes, squid, and beef skewers. We also got the golden soup and eggplant dish. The skewers were good, however, they had this seasoning and we did not like it. The seasoning came on all the skewers. We asked the waitress and she said it might be cumin I was talking about. I wish we knew or they had an option on their iPad while ordering but the waitress said we can just let her know next time before ordering. The potato skewer was my favorite. It was cooked well and had a great crunch minus the seasoning again. The golden soup came in a big pot filled with vermicelli noodles. It came with tofu, veggies, fish cakes, and sausage. The soup was more on the sour side and that was not what I was expecting. I wish they describe that on the information. The Eggplant dish was okay too. I would pass this next time. Overall, I think I would come again for the skewers but without the seasoning next time. read more
