Love Little Skewer!! The vibes are great to hangout with friends, eat, and drink! The service is fast and the staff are friendly. The interior is also very spacious. In terms of the food here, everything was a hit from skewers (lamb, chicken skin, corn, mushroom, etc) to cucumber salad to scallop vermicelli to stinky tofu! Overall, highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a solid skewer spot. read more

Loveeee little skewers and this spot's interior is cool compared to the other locations. If there are a couple items i would recommend, it's the corn, cauliflower, and eggplant. I actually surprised it's most of the veggies, but it's seasoned to perfection!! If you had to ask which meat, the beef is always a hit and the way to go! read more

Little Skewer - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Perfect place to go if you're looking for a fun and vibey place to drink and eat with friends. They have a wide variety of skewers to choose from but I would highly recommend the potato tornado, the cauliflower, and the chicken skin. The food comes out really fast and everything is seasoned to perfect. Absolute chefs kiss They also had a live singer when my friends and I went at night, which was a nice touch to the overall ambiance, but it can get a little rowdy if you're not into that. read more

Little Skewer - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Came here craving skewers and overall had a solid experience. The skewers come out already cooked from the kitchen, which makes it easy to just sit back and eat without waiting too long. We ordered three different skewer bunches, plus two orders of fish tofu, two orders of pineapple sausage, and two beers, and that was honestly enough to get us completely full. Each skewer totals to about an average of 1-2 bites of meat. So 20 skewers doesn't end up being that much protein. Flavor-wise, everything had a nice cumin seasoning that really hit the spot. The pork skewers were the standout, super tender and juicy. Beef was the next best, still flavorful with a good bite. The lamb was on the drier side compared to the others, but still had decent taste. Total came out to $65 before tip, which felt a bit pricey for skewers and beers. Overall I'd rate it 4/5 for flavor but closer to 3/5 when considering value. read more

Checked out Little Skewer recently and honestly it hit the spot. The skewers came out hot, smoky, and well-seasoned -- the pork belly skewers were definitely the highlight, super tender with just the right amount of spice. Portions are good for sharing, so it's fun coming with a group and ordering a bunch to try. The vibe is lively and a little chaotic in a good way -- feels like a legit late-night hangout spot. Service was friendly and pretty efficient considering how busy it got. Only reason for 4 stars is that it can get loud and a bit cramped during peak hours, so not the best place if you want a quiet dinner. Also, people are smoking outside and the door is opened most of the time. You will be the 2nd hand smoker when you eating there. Overall, solid skewers, good prices, and great for casual nights with friends. I'd come back when I'm craving BBQ and beers. read more

Chubby Skewers is always a good time...even with kids in tow. I've been here at least a dozen times in the past year, and it's one of those places that just works whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for long, relaxed chit-chats with family and friends. It's surprisingly kid-friendly. My children genuinely enjoy the food here...just be sure to ask for no spice, and you're good. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it easy to sit back, eat well, and not feel rushed. As for the food, you really can't go wrong with the skewered meats...they're consistently flavorful and satisfying. But my personal favorite? The cucumbers. They're refreshing, perfectly balanced, and somehow the combination of peanuts and cilantro just works. Simple, but done right. Overall, Chubby Skewers is a reliable, comfortable spot with good food and an easygoing vibe. Honest opinion: it's a place I keep coming back to for a reason. read more

Finding street parking was easy. and I also heard there's a parking lot in the back. We were seated right away, which was a great start. Ordering was done through a tablet, and the food came out quickly. I appreciated that the staff was attentive without being intrusive. They walked around, but didn't constantly check in, which allowed our group to enjoy our conversation. If we needed anything, there was a button at the table and someone came over almost immediately. While the skewers didn't have a lot of meat on each one (barely any for pork), the food was overall good. I also liked that the dishes were placed on the grill style warmer to keep everything warm. I would recommend coming with a group so that you could try variety of items especially since many dishes need to be ordered in bulk. read more

A fun spot to meet up with friends and enjoy some drinks. The cocktails are creatively presented -- super cute -- though they lean on the sweeter and lighter side. The decor is playful and the overall atmosphere is lively, making it a great place to hang out. The food was average; some of the skewer meats were a bit too small, which made them dry and overcooked. Still, it's a solid choice if you're looking for a vibrant setting with fun drinks and good company read more

Delicious skewers of meat! Each order comes with a lot of skewers that served well for me and my group of 8 friends. The potatoes were also really good! Some items are spicy, but this is coming from someone who can't handle spice very well. This place has a cool ambience with the decorations and wooden benches. The service of the place is great, and they play music from countries in Asia. I highly recommend trying this place!! read more

There was such a long wait here on a Sunday night, but it was totally worth it. Little Skewer is my favorite place to get skewers. Once you step inside, you'll understand why it takes forever to get a table - you won't want to leave! The atmosphere of the restaurant seems specifically curated to create the perfect environment for eating and drinking. Beers were BOGO. Chinese wines were served in tea pots and dainty little saucers. Beneath the tavern lights, a lounge singer sweetly serenades the diners through the huge karaoke machine at the front of the store. Service is mostly done yourself through an iPad. You place your own order through the system and workers bring the food out to you.  Meats such as beef and lamb skewers are ordered in batches of 10 and will most likely make up the bulk of your skewers, but there are many other types of additional skewers to choose from. An unexpected favorite for me was the king oyster mushroom skewers. I don't even like mushrooms, but these king oyster mushrooms were irresistible. Biting into the springy flesh was so satisfying. The spicy, vibrant flavors and juiciness made my mouth water and crave more. The scallops, served in their shells with glass noodles, garlic, scallions, and chili paste, were addictive enough to pound back like shots. I also really liked the chicken skin skewers because the crispiness provided a nice contrast to the other dishes. And I liked the pineapple sausage so much that I ordered two. I would totally recommend Little Skewer for dinner, catching up with friends, and a good time. read more

Wanted to try some place new and my friend mentioned that she had heard of Little Skewer but never got to try it out, so we decided to go. We came in around 5pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. You place your orders in through the ipad and they bring your orders right out. For the skewers we ordered the lamb, chicken skin, pork belly, and squid. We also ordered the wood ear mushrooms, stinky tofu, and durian pizza. The skewers come in batches of 10 or 20, but each skewer only has one bite of the meat on it. They were all great though, so it really just depends on preference of meat. The plates were so good as well. The wood ear mushrooms came as a mountain on a plate and was nicely marinated. The stinky tofu has a different twist to what I'm used to getting, but it works. Stinky tofu is an acquired taste though so proceed with caution if it's your first time. I am a huge fan of stinky tofu and while it's obviously not as stinky as the ones you can get in Taiwan, it definitely has that familiar scent and taste to it that's stronger than stinky tofu from other places that I've tried in the US. The durian pizza was the star of the meal for me. We had totally forgotten that the deciding factor for us in choosing this place was to try the durian pizza. It wasn't until the end of the meal that we remembered again and ordered this as our last dish of the night. It was a good thing we did, because it served as a dessert for us. The sweetness from the durian complemented the saltiness from the cheese and they balanced each other out. Honestly I could eat the whole pizza as a personal pizza for my meal, it was so good. This is the item to get at every visit from now on. It's a great spot to go out, and with how cheap the drinks are it'll be a top favorite to suggest for a larger group of friends to hang out. Now every time there's a handful of us together I always throw this place out as an option. read more

Chill , relaxing , and casual atmosphere to eat and drink. What you need after a long day. We ordered the yogurt drink with 5 shots, cucumber salad, chives, oyster mushrooms, lamb skewers ( they are mini btw), arctic surf clams, chicken gristle. Not sure how they made the oyster mushrooms but they are the best. Used to hit up Xinjiang but now after trying this place won't be going back there again! Will be coming to little skewer instead! read more

This is my fav skewer place in the area! I have been to many other skewer places and this is my fav! I really enjoy the variety they have. You order on an iPad which is very convenient and easy. There's pictures on the menu too which is nice. The cucumber salad appetizer is HUGE. The skewers come out already cooked but they have a hot plate for you to keep them warm while they're on the table. Prices are reasonable. There can be a wait especially on weekend evenings but it's honestly not that bad. I don't think I've waited more than 30 minutes before. They have their own parking lot but I usually park on the street! read more

Came here with a party of 8. The wait was about an hour and half. They ended up splitting my group into two table so we could all be seated. Love the meat and veggie selection. Service was a bit slow since there werent a lot of workers on the floor. read more

Favorite Chinese skewer place!! The restaurant itself is a vibe with loud music / live music, lots of lights and interesting decor. Ordering is easy via iPad and servers are attentive. Skewers are all well seasoned and tasty, and I like that they leave it on a warming plate so it doesn't get cold. The beef rib skewers are my favorite, though it is a little pricey. The regular beef skewers are also slightly better than the lamb skewers imo. I'm a big fan of duck blood and the mala duck blood is a must order. This restaurant is so much fun with a larger group! read more

I've been wanting to check-out Little Skewer ever since one of my fave content creators featured the place in their video. Finally, I got to check it out for lunch a couple of Saturdays ago. I went with my cousins and found street parking nearby. I liked how the place's decorated; it has a casual, social, night market vibe. I think the place's good for groups, and I bet it's lively at night. The service was friendly and pretty quick as well. We dined at around 1:30pm, and we barely had to wait for a table. We ordered from a tablet at our table, and the sides came out faster than the skewers. My faves were the Edamame, Cheesy Corn (not pictured), Durian Pizza, and Lamb Skewers. We also tried other types of skewers such as chicken skin, beef, pork, and squid. If you order the skewers at default, then you'll probably notice they have similar seasonings; we noticed that they started to taste the same after a while. The skewers did pair well with the sides though. We didn't get any alcoholic drinks, but I'd like to return soon and try them with friends! read more

I was in the area for the lunar new year festival in Monterey Park to ring in the fire horse energy, Huzzah! After scoring the freebies, our group of 5 waited for little skewer. They're really known for drinks and some notable fun skewers. We really enjoyed the vibe (the calligraphy poetry on the walls is a nice touch!). 'with each cup of wine you forget about the past, so let the past be the past. The wait was about 42 minutes for a party of 5, but service was efficient even though they were slammed. ​Must-haves: The garlic enoki mushrooms were hands down our favorite thing. The beef belly and kidney skewers were a group favorite, and lamb skewers were also tasty, and the Garlic naan was super buttery and good. Skip: The squid (it wasn't great) and not worth the price. Peanuts with seafood (it was furikake seasoning) Drinks: Lychee soda and lychee wine were both good picks. Tieguanyin tea was light and average. ​Overall, a solid spot for a group hang! I would give this 3.8 stars for overall price/food quality. read more

Little Skewer - Lychee wine, tie Guan yin tea, lychee soda. All meats were consumed so no photos taken - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

What We Ordered: -Fish Tofu (2) $1.49 -Chicken Skin (10) -Tornado Potato $4.49 -Lamb (20) $9.50 -Premium Marbled Beef Skewers (12) $9.50 I came to Little Skewer after seeing positive reviews on Yelp. We compared it to another BBQ place down Garvey, and this one was much better, though the portion sizes were okay for the price. Despite the name, the skewers were on the smaller side. Overall, the food had a sweeter taste. The Chicken Skin was crispy but a bit sweet, and the Fish Tofu was also good. I enjoyed the Tornado Potato, a common street food in China. The Lamb was also pretty good, despite being small. While the skewers are small, the early closing time is a major drawback; they close at 11 AM during the week, which is earlier than other BBQ places. I wouldn't be in a hurry to return, but I would go back again. read more

I came by the Little Skewer with my boyfriend who found this place on Google Maps. He's been more open to trying Asian foods and loves skewers so this seemed like a perfect place to come for lunch. There is plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and has a Chinese karaoke bar type of vibe. It wasn't too busy when we went so we were seated quickly. Our server was welcoming and patient with us, it was our first time so she explained to us how to order and how the meat comes. We ordered lamb, beef, gizzards, and corn. They were out of the chicken BUMMER!! But the beef and lamb were delicious. The lamb skewers came in sets of 10 per order. It seems like a lot, but there were tiny bits of meats on the skewer. The lamb had a great spicy, umami, cumin flavor. So tasty! When we ordered the beef, my boyfriend noticed that the pieces of beef were all fat and no beef. I told him I would let the server know and although he told me not to, I did anyways. The server was understanding and gave us new skewers with thicker meatier pieces of beef! Amazing service, we really appreciated that she didn't try to argue with us about the pieces of meat. The gizzards had great flavor with good portions on the skewers. This would be a perfect place to come with friends to drink some beers and eat some skewers. For dessert, we ordered fried taro balls. Fried well, taro has fresh taste, and it had a chewy mochi bite to it. I saw that they had a Durian pizza on their menu and I was intrigued so I ordered one to go for my grandma. She loves durian and pizza so this was a match made in heaven for her! There were a good portion of durian on the pizza-- everyone could tell by the fumes it was giving off haha. My grandma said it was great, she could taste the durian, the pizza crust was thick and not too doughy. I'd recommend coming to Little Skewer if you're in the 626 area! read more

This parking for this place is still pretty bad. Come early!! You either have to find street parking, or you'd have to park somewhere else and walk there. My friends and I parked in the plaza next to it and walked over. I want to start off again by saying that i'm not really a fan of the little small skewers, BUT I still enjoyed my dining experience here. Overall, the taste was good. The meat was kind of fatty. Everything was great! It can get kind of loud, and it looks like they have a stage set up for live music You order on an ipad and then it gets sent to the kitchen when you send it. So if you need something you have to kind of flag the waiter down. Maybe there was a button, but we didn't see it! So.. I might be back! But not alone :p read more

Come a little later to avoid a long wait during the normal dinner rush (it's okay since they close late at midnight). All ordering is done through the tablet so after picking your selections, make sure to hit submit to process your items! We ordered quite a bit: sausages, chicken thighs, king mushroom, beef, squid, chicken skin, and more that I don't remember what. We ended up full and 120ish dollars lighter lol. Everything is well seasoned, though after a while, we felt the seasoning tasted the same. I enjoyed all we picked, though not too big a fan of the chicken. They have a parking lot shared with other businesses and it was full, so we found some street parking instead. Having that walk back to the car afterwards helped with the food coma. read more

Beautifully decorated skewer place in Monterey Park. Street parking is pretty easy and order on an iPad. The servers are pretty quick at beginning food and are attentive at clearing plates and taking away used skewers (in the skewer trash can they provide) Skewers; Grilled beef-- loved, nice and juicy. About 2 bites per stick Squid legs-- loved, tender, 2 baby pieces per stick Chicken skin-- eh, fried really crispy and hard to get off the stick, got tired of it really quickly Chicken gristle (unpictured)-- loved, nice texture, good flavoring slightly teriyaki (a blessing when you realize everything else tastes the same with their cumin chili powder) Tofu skin-- bad, not sure what I was expecting but it's limpy soft and flavored the same as the others Plates: Corn cheese-- sweet!!!!!! Not my personal preference but my friend really liked it Enoki -- it was fine, not a big fan of whatever they season this with Eggplant ground beef--- really sad they got rid of their mashed eggplant (eggplantato) and this isn't even a good alternative. Eggplant was soft but not spoonable soft and flavor was like the enoki and ground beef you couldn't even really taste it was there. It blends in with the sauce. Malatang was surprisingly good! Good variety and it soaked up the flavor of the soup well. The soup itself is VERY salty so just don't drink the soup. Found some peppercorns in there too (very mala) Drinks: Yogurt wine with pop rocks-- sweet, easy to drink, fun, would get again Fruit wine flight--- plum tastes like cough syrup, osmanthus tastes like capri sun, lychee tastes like lychee jello so really up to personal preference. They had a live singer come by so they turned off the YouTube videos and just had her do her thing. Good vibes! Taste wise everything will start to blend together after awhile. Appetizers are hit or miss. Just stick to the meat skewers. Good venue and good service. read more

There is a small parking lot on the corner which leads to a back door of the restaurant unlabeled; otherwise if you walk on the side walk you will see the front entrance. Upon entering you're taken back to the traditional old Chinese times. The decor provides such a nice ambience. You order on an iPad and they bring out the food. And if you want to add orders midway dining you are still able to. We ordered a variety of skewers and garlic enoki mushroom and the cucumber salad. I loved the cucumber salad, enoki mushroom and my favorite skewer was the marbled beef. You can get spicy and no spicy. We ordered both to try the difference. Still quite flavorful not spicy but think the spice gives it a nice kick. Altho warning it can be a bit spicy. They do provide you a kettle of water at the table. Overall good experience. Tasty food. read more

It was my first time visiting Little Skewer, though our relatives had been before. I found the pricing very fair, definitely lower than what you'd pay for the same type of skewers at 626 Night Market. I also liked that you could customize your order on the iPad, including the option to skip cumin or spice. The four of us shared a variety of skewers: beef, corn, grislings, oyster mushrooms, cauliflower, and one big chicken wing. Unfortunately, they were out of regular chicken skewers by the time we arrived around 10:30pm for a late dinner. We also ordered the cheesy corn plate and cucumber salad, both of which were tasty. I really liked the convenience of being able to add more items with just a tap on the iPad. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the Kung Fu corn skewer, it was a bit chewy and odd in texture. Our server came by a few times to collect the sticks, and let's just say there were plenty by the end of our meal. The theme and decor is really unique here like a an old Chinese drama. I just noticed there's a Monrovia location closer to me, so I'll definitely be checking that one out. read more

Came here around 5pm with a friend because we were hungry for some Chinese skewers. After you're seated, you order from tablet, we got the lamb, pork belly, marbled beef, and squid legs. They were each about $10 for 20 skewers. The meat on each skewer was a little smaller than what I've seen elsewhere, but it was still filling after eating 20 of them. Flacor pretty on point, except it was a little on the spicy side, though it got less spicy the more and more we ate. In terms of ambiance, this place has the vibe of a fun drinking spot. On the menu, you can order shots by the dozen, and I even saw another table order a beer tower. Overall, service was fast and friendly. Looks like a good place to get together with some friends and have a fun night out. read more

It was enough for three people, we were very full by the end of the meal. The malatang was my favorite. Absolute flavor bomb and perfect for the cold rainy days we've been having, I already want to come back and eat it again. The service was very quick and very helpful.

***3.5 stars*** I generally love Chinese bbq and while this place satisfied the craving, service is sooooo slow and I def prefer bigger pieces of meat on my bbq skewers over the tiny ones here. Each order of lamb/beef/pork comes with 10-20 skewers so the prices seem insanely low but there is very little meat on each. Still good value, but eating it isn't as satisfying as the usual larger chunks of meat that you get on skewers. You get more flavor because of higher surface area to volume ratio but it's also not that tender bc there's not much meat to bite into. We liked lamb and chicken gristle more than beef/pork ones. We also tried some veggie items which were delicious though - especially the chives. The cucumber salad was also massive. Walked in on a Thursday and there were lots of open tables but it took a while before we were seated. After ordering, it took 20+ min before the first item came. And calling for the check on the tablet didn't seem to work, we waited 10+ min then tried to flag down a server in another way. read more

If you love to eat and drink as much as I do, you're gonna be a fan of Little Skewer. Their alcoholic drink options itself deserves 4 stars! Finding a parking may be a pain (explains the minus 1 star), but everything else is amazing. I find that they speak limited English but you order from an iPad, so language barrier shouldn't be a problem. We ordered a couple rounds of shots and the food tasted great EXCEPT for the Glass Noodle soup. It was sour and sweet like Coconut Milk at the same time. Not planning to order that again at my future visits. F.Y.I. : The place is always packed so make sure to go there early for a table, especially if you're going with a large party. Definitely a 4/5 - Highly recommended! read more

Went late night, overall a pretty solid BBQ place The address takes you to the back parking lot which has a door with no sign on it and then you have to walk to the front to put your name on waitlist. Beef skewers were good, great taste, very small amounts per skewer. Potato kind of tastes like a yam to me but was pretty good. The green beans are solid. Overall everything tastes good and seasoned well. The place is kind of loud so it might be hard to hear especially if you are in the middle area. The decor looks nice, solid place for a date. Chairs aren't too comfortable though. read more
