One of my favorite late-night spots to grab drinks. Service here is always spot on and one of the only places open late until 1AM. My favorite thing to order here is the Malatang pot since $17 for all that food is a huge value. They have a good selection of Sake and combined with it closing at 1AM makes it a definitive go-to option after work. Will be coming often, I love this place! read more

Food: We had just watched a long show that ended late, so we needed to find a place serving late-night food. The food was pretty good, especially for enjoying drinks with friends. We ordered grilled pig's feet, eggplant, chives, chili peppers, and lamb. A special highlight was their osmanthus wine, which is hard to find, so I had to order it! Overall, they offer a good selection of dishes to share while drinking. Service: Okay. Nothing particularly noteworthy. Ambience: We really enjoyed the comfortable seating and background music. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and inviting, making it a great place to unwind with friends over food and drinks. read more

This is probably one of my favorite skewer spots because of the interior design and the quality of the food! I'm giving it 4 stars because service was slow, and we barely got any attention. Prices are a little higher than other skewer places, but the portions are generous and everything is so flavorful. Their drinks are also really pretty and creative. I tried the shots, which tasted like plum juice! I love that they're open late, and if you're lucky, you'll catch some live music. I definitely overordered, but the food was bomb dot com--especially the golden soup pot! read more

Love the skewers here!! I came here with my family after trying the one in La I just had to come to the Bay Area location. We got a bunch of skewer options and honestly you can't go wrong with any of them but these were my favorites: large intestines (crispy and fatty yummm), beef tendon (very soft and yum), green beans and cauliflower! A non skewer item that was a table favorite was the smashed cucumbers - so def make sure you get those! Make sure you ask for the spicy powder on the side to dip your skewers too. I'll be back here for sure!! read more

I came here with a large party and everyone enjoyed this spot. Some stand out items were the 24 shots of alcohol, everyone thought the alcohol was sweet and had no alcohol taste. The scallop with garlic and vermicelli, the corn cheese, and the chicken skin were all a hit. It's nice that utensils and napkins are self serve, built into the table. That freed up staff to tend to other people. The food came out quickly. At some point our pile of food had 7 varieties on the grill and there was more food on our table. read more

Skewers were not bad. Options were good. Decor was nice. Service was on par with other skewer places. I really liked the side dishes, except for the egg crepe. It had a ridiculous amount of green onion in there. The green onion sprinkled on top was only a tiny portion of how much was inside the crepe itself. I couldn't even taste the egg because every bite I took was 70% filled with green onion. read more

Very torn on giving this place a 3 or 4 star. Wish there was a 3.5 star option on Yelp. The decor was nice, was unique to see the napkin box is hanging above you. The food selection wasn't as large as I've seen it in other places. But I did like the food. I felt like the skewer pieces were bigger than average, they're not super thin like some other spots. What turned me off was how they kinda rushed us out. Yelp and Google said we had about a hour left til closing, and they were already telling us it's last call. Then while we were waiting for the last of the food to come out, they cut the music and were mopping behind us. I guess the workers really wanted to leave. BUT I will say the service was pretty fast. The they were ready with them skewers read more

Food - ordered a bunch of skewers and food but my favorites were enoki mushrooms, cucumber salad, and korean cold noodles! was not a fan of their "little skewers" per se. felt like the meat was so little that i could barely taste it. Service - super busy but got seated fairly quickly. Ambiance - has live karaoke where a staff sings and you can pay $20 i think to request or sing yourself. Not the best place to catch up with friends cause you can't really hear due to the music. Overall, not a huge fan of the meat skewers but the mushrooms and korean cold noodles and other dishes were SOO good. RECOMMENDED DISHES: garlic enoki mushroom, cucumber salad, cold noodles, cauliflower, fish tofu!! read more

Atmosphere was great for the crowd, they have a live singer on Sat night. Skewers are decent but maybe it was too busy, we requested for service twice but didn't get any help, as our candles were off which made our skewers cold and hard after a while so we ended up light the new candles ourselves (should have done it earlier if I knew additional candles were just placed underneath). The live singing was hyping up the atmosphere but I think the speakers were tuned too loud and the bass too strong, which actually hurt my ears, and make dinner conversation very hard at scene. If the music can be tone down just a little, it will elevate the whole dinning experience. Regardless, still appreciate Fremont has such a place for gatherings. Do note that a lot of their skewers has peanuts, so my husband ended up taking my daughter to M Dumplings next door for dinner since she has peanut allergies. read more

Really enjoyed dinner at Little Skewer! The skewers were packed with flavor and seasoned really well. Definitely the highlight of the meal. They also have a wide selection, so there's plenty to choose from if you want to try a variety of skewers. The staff was super attentive throughout dinner and kept checking in to make sure everything was good. Great spot for a casual dinner with lots of options! read more

I really enjoy Chinese skewers so decided to check it out on a Saturday night. We were seated right away but it definitely started getting busy afterward. Service was good and skewers came out quickly enough. You order through an iPad. Ambience was very alive and there was a singer taking requests. Food was tasty but it can get pricy. We spent about $90 for two people after tax and tip. Overall once of the better skewer places we have been to. read more

We tried this place because we have been wanting to check it out instead of the "Yakitori". The vibe and atmosphere is really fun and nice! Live karoke and fast service. Now the ok part... the food is heavily seasoned with cumin and spicy. So if you aren't privy to those seasonings, i think you will be overwhelmed with the taste. Their soup was good, however, not a lot of protein provided. read more

Came back for more and I have a new favorite! Updating my order so I remember for next time haha. Also food comes out super fast on a weekday night This time we ordered: Beef skewers (12) A-choy (love the a-choy) Chives (a-choy was better so we'll stick to that next time) Prawns (my new fav, perfectly seasoned and crispy!) King Oyster mushrooms (I don't think it was cooked enough this time around, but still good) read more

Doubt I'll be back for several reasons: 1. tiny skewers, expected more meat on them. It was definitely tasty, well seasoned, just need to order a lot to get full. 2. very loud singers. Truly beautiful voices but cound not hear even myself when speaking. Service was alright. read more

This review should've been posted earlier, but this is my go to spot for Chinese skewers :) Food: The menu is pretty diverse. My favorites are the premium marbled beef, pork belly, and cauliflower. Both meats are always very soft and easy to bite off the skewer. Be warned though, pretty much everything here has the same seasoning/can be salty and the meat is small (these aren't big kebabs or anything), so you're out of luck if you don't like strong cumin flavor or are expecting big yakitori style skewers. The restaurant is called LITTLE SKEWER for a reason! I think to accompany the skewers, you definitely need to get the malatang pot. It's filled with glass noodles, different types of fish cake, sausage, thinly sliced beef, Napa cabbage, and the soup is nice and numbing. I don't know if it's because I was really hungry but this was so good and I'll be ordering it every time I come back. Service: Service here is good. The servers are friendly and even played games with some customers when I was there. The skewers also come out relatively quickly. Restaurant/cleanliness: the restaurant itself is themed well like you're in an ancient Chinese drama. I've never had this issue before but I guess some rice had gotten stuck to our water cups and I only saw that as I was about to drink. There was also some sponge piece that had gotten stuck to the soup ladle we were given. The servers were really apologetic about that. read more

Flavorful and delicious skewers but small portions. My friends and I honestly enjoyed the veggie and tofu skewers even more than the beef! The seasonings were more fragrant on those. Looks like great food to pair with some alcohol. Nice and spacious place with fun decorations. The workers don't really attend to you at all. read more

Oh my gosh! First time here and all the food is so delicious and flavorful! The seasoning on these skewers and dishes is seriously soo good. Very authentic feel too to the restaurant, not just the taste but the decoration throughout the store is so thoughtfully designed and such a vibe. All the skewers were so delicious , was a bit adventurous bc my friend said that the intestine here was good and the croaker fish! I am a bit scared to eat fish due to bones, but the bones in this fish are so tender that they can be eaten. The intestine I would say is the best one I've had so far! Loved it! The cauliflower skewer was really yummy too and the hot jasmine tea was nice. All the servers here are soo pretty! Which is an added bonus haha, but the service is also super quick food comes out hot and fresh! Gotta come back soon definitely!! Soo good !! Love love read more

Just ate there tonight for the first time. Was easy to get a table on a Monday night. The interior is gorgeously decorated and service is very fast and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious! I noticed a lot of people commented on how small the skewers are. Speaking as two women who were eating, we feel like the portion sizes are really good and we actually felt we over ordered! The meat on the stick is a smaller portion but they give many sticks. We ordered : chicken gizzard, two different types of lamb, cauliflower, chicken skin ( fantastic!), pineapple sausage ( also so good!) and oysters! For me the happy surprise was the chicken skin. And the one I enjoyed the least was the lamb. To drink we split the plum juice as it comes in a big carafe, not overly sweet! For dessert we got tea and taro balls read more

Came here for late night skewers at around 10:15 pm with friends! Ordering is done via a tablet provided to each table. First time I've seen so many alcohol shots offered in the way they do here. We ordered cauliflower, pork, beef, squid, chicken, and wagyu beef skewers. The one wagyu beef skewer option was much larger than the batches of regular skewers. The skewers are definitely representative of the restaurant's name. Enoki mushroom hot plate was topped with a plentiful amount garlic. Cucumber salad was enough for all of us to share. Staff was attentive and refilled our teapot whenever it was empty. Will be back to get our late night skewers fix! read more

Honestly, this place wasn't too bad. Price wasn't too crazy for a skewer place, albeit i haven't been to many skewer spots. Only downside that made me dock off two stars is because of the amount of meat that were on each skewers. I would have personally liked less skewers but with a fatter portion of meat in it. The small amount of meat made them all pretty dry. My friend and i ended up getting the following skewers: lamb, marbled beef, chicken, a choy and cauliflower. Honestly i hate to say but the cauliflower was probably our favorite with how tasty and flavorful it was. All the meat skewers were pretty dry until you start ordering the single sticks with the more premium meat, which we got two lamb ones. Not bad but not great either. We got the corn cheese and that was pretty decent. Service was pretty good. Everything came out pretty quickly and there was no wait when we came for dinner on a monday at 7:30p. Place has a decent amount of parking space, shared with the other two businesses in the plaza. read more

I went here with my boyfriend and we enjoyed our time there. It wasn't busy during the time that we went, so we got a table immediately. The place was pretty spacious with many tables to sit from. They also have a stage where you can do karaoke! Food(10/10): There's a tablet where you can add your order onto, so I think it's pretty convenient if you don't want to call for a server every time. I think my favorite would be oysters. It tasted pretty fresh and I liked the amount of garlic they added on top of it. The meat was pretty tender and nicely seasoned. The squid was not for me though, but my boyfriend enjoyed it! I just thought it was tough to chew through and rubbery. Service(10/10): Can't really complain about the service. They were really friendly and fast with their service. We didn't wait long for our orders as well! It's also cool they had their napkins and utensils in a drawer hidden within the table! At the end of our dinner, we were given air fresheners which was nice! Overall, I would come here again if I was in the area! read more

Relative new Chinese restaurant for meat skewers . It is similar to the original restaurant in Newark but it is bigger and more roomy. Each table has your own I pad to place the order . The waiter brings you the cooked skewers and they are kept warm on a heating tray . There is a brass tea cup for cold Water , a bucket to collect the used bamboo shower sticks . Under the table are drawers for napkins, plastic forks and spoons . One on each end of the table . You can add more food in the middle of your meal. Very simple and good are cooked fast . The service is fast and good manner . My favorite skewers are lamb , pork belly , and chicken gizzard. Cooked Napa is $1.99 , good deal for those who like vegetables. Interior decoration is pretty like an ancient Chinese garden . Definitely should come and try this. read more

The meat quality overall is quite good and has a decent range of cuts. Their chicken skewers across the board were our favorites. Their lamb was ok but the pineapple sausage was juicy and sweet. Do note their cucumber salad has peanuts! I'm sure you can ask for without but something to note. If you're a fan of durian or curious about the durian cheese bread, I would skip it. There's so much cheese that it masks any durian flavor so it just tastes like cheese bread. Service is fast and attentive. They give you a tablet to keep at the table so you can continue to order on your own. read more

Definitely my new fave spot for skewers. Little Skewer is tucked away in a very small plaza with very limited parking so plan your visit accordingly. We went during a weekday so it wasn't super packed and were seated immediately. The interior decor gives off old-town alleyway eateries and I loved it. We ordered off a tablet, but food took awhile to come out so I recommend trying to order everything you want on the first go. We ordered corn cheese and sliced bread approx. 10 min after our first order and those two came out by the end of the meal. Overall, the skewers and soup were delicious. Some favorites: * Chicken gristle * green beans * chives * chicken gizzard * squid legs * rice noodles in clay pot Will definitely be back! read more

Food is good but unfortunately when they do their karaoke the music is way too loud and hard to hang out and chat with friends which is the main point for me to go out to a late night skewer spot. Wish they'd post a schedule of when they plan to do this so I can avoid coming during those times. Unfortunately not coming back because of the noise! The first time I went they didn't do this and it was a very nice time so this sucks :( read more

Save this late-night gem for your next hangout. Little skewer is pretty new in Fremont and it's already drawing crowds, a must-visit! The skewers are fresh, juicy, and cooked just right (favourites: beef skewers, grilled scallops and oysters). Pair them with fun drinks, small bites, or evn hot clay pot noodles and you've got yourself the perfect night. I'm obsessed with the Modern Asia-inspired decor with lanterns and live music Fri-Sun from 7-10pm. And the best part: they're open till 1AM every day! Tag your crew and get together for skewers! read more

Honestly the food was pretty alright, I'd say the chicken skin, the bread and the lamb ended up being the top 3 for me. The restaurant itself looks awesome! Very cool vibes and it feels like it'd be a great drinking night to be at. Unfortunately we had a bug floating around our water pot and it just kept trying to drown itself in our cups of water. It was also hard to get service and they forgot to bring some of our food, but when they did get to us at least they were fast to help out when we eventually got to ask them. read more

Another authentic skewer spot I've been wanting to check out for a while in the Bay Area. They offer a wide variety of options, from cold dishes to all kinds of meat, seafood, and vegetable skewers, plus hot dishes like hotpot, malatang, seafood boil, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We arrived right before opening, and there were already a few groups waiting in line. It definitely got busier during peak hours, so I highly recommend getting there early if you don't want to wait. read more

I've heard great things about the SoCal location but this didn't live up to the hype. While it's very clean and cute inside, I wasn't satisfied with the food quality. understand it's called "Little Skewer" but why is it smaller than my pinky finger?! Also, everything was just doused in seasoning which made it so salty... and a lot of the skewers were overcooked and dry, which can be very easily done as they're so tiny. The service was ok. They were quick and attentive, but it doesn't justify it for me. I prefer Dynasty or Ace King personally. I don't see myself back here, but it was worth a try. read more

Such an amazing concept! We went here for my cousins birthday with the kiddos and we had a superb experience! The staff were so accommodating and attentive. They were professional and friendly. The place is apparently fairly new so everything was visually appealing! The booth chair and individual chairs are in great condition and the decor is warm and welcoming. We ended up staying there for 3hrs!! Just laughing, eating, and catching up. They also have a karaoke stage! I'd love to see that live one day We got a bunch of skewers mixed with couple veggies. My favorite was the wagyu and the green beans LOL I also really enjoyed their hotpot! They're in clay pots which distributes the heat evenly! We got two kinds of hotpot, one mala and one golden soup; my niece and I personally enjoyed the Ma La tang pot. My cousins and I also shares a tray of their wine flights! They were in these cute little shot glasses and all the flavors were yummy I can't wait to come back here with my fiancé and tell more people all about it! read more

Late-night skewer spot with great vibes in Fremont Little Skewer Fremont is such a fun late-night find! They open at 5 PM and stay open until midnight Monday-Thursday, and even later until 1 AM Friday-Sunday, which makes it perfect for dinner or late cravings. We ordered: Wagyu skewer ($9.78) - tender and juicy Premium marbled beef skewers (12 pcs, $19.60) - rich, flavorful, and grilled perfectly Pork belly skewers (20 pcs, $10.29) - crispy edges with great smoky flavor Rice noodles in clay pot ($17.99) - comforting, savory, and satisfying Everything came out hot and well-seasoned. What made the experience extra special was the live singer who came out and sang a Chinese song. I didn't understand the lyrics, but the voice was soft and emotional such a calming, melting vibe that elevated the whole atmosphere. The owner was also kind and welcoming, checking in and making sure everyone was enjoying their food. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. Great food, warm hospitality, and a unique late-night ambiance. I'll definitely be back! read more

The little skewers are indeed little and their mega ones are just the normal sizes. They taste decent but I don't think it's great value for the cost. The unexpected favorite dish out of the meal was their "cold noodles" which wasn't noodles at all. I was told this place typically has a wait but if you come right when they open, it's not a problem. read more

This was a cool spot, I like the concept of the skewer dining. They seem popular - they open at 5 and filled up pretty quickly and had a waitlist after 20ish minutes of opening. We did come on a Saturday. Tried quite a few different items - skewers and appetizers/side dishes. The flavors were good but some of the meats were chewy and tough and some were perfectly cooked and tender. Their bottles for their alcohol is so cute. I loved the aesthetic of the women's restroom, had to take a pic read more

A new skewer spot has arrived in the Warm Springs area of Fremont. Little Skewer is located in a small plaza that houses three restaurants total. Parking can definitely be a challenge to find, especially on a weekend. We got lucky in that we found parking (two spots remaining) on Saturday evening at 6:10 PM. Upon entering, there is a waitlist tablet where you can sign up. There were 7 parties ahead of us at the time. By 6:30 PM, it started to get pretty full. We waited 20 minutes to get seated. They specialize in "little" skewers in that there is a small portion of meat on the skewer itself. We were anticipating it to be really tiny, but it actually was more filling than we thought. Each set of skewers comes with anywhere between 5-20 skewers depending on what you get. We tried the chicken skin (10), chicken gizzard (5), lamb (10), squid legs (10), and oyster mushroom (5). All the skewers had a good amount of seasoning (hint of spice) and a nice smoky charcoal flavor. They place the skewers on a hot plate to keep them warm. We also ordered the golden soup and an order of cucumber salad to cut some of the grease and fattiness of the skewers. The golden soup has a pickled flavor and the cucumber salad was perfectly crisp with peanuts. I loved the cucumber salad and would definitely get it again. The food comes out rapid fast and they also have live performers who come to sing while you eat. Overall, good experience and friendly service. I would definitely return again! read more

I LOVED this place!!! The set up and decor of this place is so cute and feels clean (if that makes any sense). The service is great but it's all digital. You order from a. iPad and someone brings out what you order and there's a button on the table that you press if you need service or anything. Other than someone coming to the table to drop off food or answer a call light, no one checks on you which I thought would be annoying but it's actually nice. The menu is vast. We had the spinach and peanut salad and I was ready to sell my soul for more. It was so good I couldn't stop eating it. The edamame was...edamame. Nothing special. The meat skewers were really good. The potato was delicious, I could have had 4. The beef and rice noodle soup was really flavorful and warming on a rainy Saturday. The portions of the meat are small for the price in my opinion but still, it was tender and tasty. My only complaint was the live music. It was just too loud. The guy singing was great, His voice is beautiful and the music was fun but it was so so so loud that it was hard to enjoy it and the night. I mean it was so loud the person I was with had to yell to tell me something and most of the time I couldn't understand what she was saying. The place isn't that big so the music doesn't need to be so loud. It felt like we were sitting right next to a speaker, which we weren't, but that's how loud it was. We will definitely go back but on a night with no live music. It was just so loud. We walked out with ringing in our ears, full and satisfied, but couldn't hear anything on the way home . read more

We visited this skewer place in Fremont based on our previous experience with its sister restaurant in LA area. The decor and ambiance are great. Service is efficient on a Sunday afternoon. Plum rice wine is a must. Beef sour cabbage stew is our favorite although the hotdog sausage in the soup is kind of odd. Of cause we came for the skewers. Most of those are decent albeit seasoned with similar if not identical spices. Lamb ribs and chicken gizzards are tough (thumbs down). Overall a good experience with room to improve. read more

The skewers were quite small so they give you 10 per order for the regular beef, lamb, and chicken. The wagyu beef and special lamb were slightly bigger pieces of meat. The flavors were good. The eggplant on the skillet got a little burnt, but it was loaded with garlic. Options seemed to be more limited compared to other Chinese skewer places. This is a very cute place with a fun atmosphere! They have a live singer on weekend nights. It was popular. We (party of 4) had to wait a bit over half an hour for a table for a Saturday night dinner. read more

The skewer restaurant trend gives you so much bang for your buck! We ordered a variety of meat skewers, and asked for extra chili oil for supplemental flavor. In addition to the meat, we tried - cucumber salad: crunchy and refreshing - blanched spinach with peanuts: ditto - grilled scallops: soooo yummy and buttery (served on a shell!) - cheese corn: tasted a bit too much like artificial movie theater popcorn butter A live karaoke singer started as we left but honestly it was pretty loud and not adding to the vibe Logistics: - indoor seating only - square tables fit large groups but busy at peak times - parking extremely limited; you can park in nearby Wells Fargo lot after 6pm read more
