    Wow, a wonderful gem here in Arcadia/San Gabriel! I have been going to Meet You BBQ for skewers, but I might have to start coming here now! Service is ok. You order on the QR code anyway. Skewers are 4 for $7.99, which is on the pricier side imo. I loved the lamb soup. It was a big bowl for $14.99. I also got the spicy vermicelli $14.99, which had a lot of fatty meat. It was good but could have been spicier. I didn't like that I had to ask for the bbq seasoning. I think they should just keep it at every table. I think I might have missed the white buns on the menu? I would have liked to order that. I also want to try the shredded potato dish next time! -Small parking lot, next to HOP cafe -Closes really late, like 4AM -Credit card/Apple Pay accepted -Bathroom in the back

    Very nice and yummy food. Excellent services. Restaurant is nice and new. Great parking lot too. They have a very nice patio too. Will be back for sure to try more food.

    M Bar BBQ is a lively Chinese snack bar that seems to specialize in skewers. The environment is very loud with both loud customers and loud music. They were playing the best of Andy Lau on the day of my visit. If you know you know. The staff here were all super friendly and nice. There was a QR code for me to scan and order, but staff came along to check on me sufficiently. They brought me water and complimentary nuts and pickled veggies. I ordered Garlic Cucumber Salad ($7.99), Oysters ($14.99/4 piece), Chicken Skin ($6.99/4 skewers), Pork Belly ($6.99/4 skewers), Shao Bing, Chicken Gizzards ($6.99/3 skewers), Chicken Hearts ($7.99/3 skewers), Tornado Potato ($3.50/1 skewer), Squid ($5.99/1 skewer) and Beef ($7.99/4 skewers). For the record I tried a little bit of everything and mostly took it togo, but I was curious about so many of the menu items I over ordered. They were a bit heavy on seasoning but it was mostly tasty and super flavorful. This is definitely the spot to go to if you want to catch up with friends and get a little rowdy. I can definitely see myself coming back for more snackies.

    I was craving for BBQ skewers, and found this place on yelp. The good reviews caught my eyes. The restaurant was not too busy when I came by. There is a small parking lot available, and parking was very easy. We placed the order online. We ordered beef, lamb, chicken skin, chicken gizzard, short ribs, egg fried rice, and siubang. Food was served promptly on a hot plate to keep the food warm. I am a big fan of chicken gizzard, but the chicken gizzard was decent without surprise. The beef and lamb were very flavorful, tender, and juicy. The lamb was more lean, and the beef had more fat in it. The chicken skin was very crispy that was like chips! The siubang was tasty, but it had some spice that will numb your tongue. Finally, egg fried rice was such a big surprise that the rice was very moist, and it was very flavorful! My server was impressive that she was very attentive of what I need and she offered me things before I asked for them. For example, she brought me an extra spoon and bowl to eat my fried rice. Mandarin music was playing in the background, which made me feel at home.

    Food was great. Love our skewers, beef, pork belly, lamb ( for Easter!!!) Garlic cucumber was super good. Dumplings pork and chive were perfect. Fried chicken and potato tornado were awesome. We liked artic ocean drink was good and milk tea. Peggy and team were so kind with great service. Music got a little loud sometimes Thank you for being open last night after Midnight Mass Easter service!!!

    First review of 2026 So my friend and I were hungry and was hankering for some chinese skewers last night. This place was surprisingly really good, reasonably priced, and the vibes were chill. Open late that has a cute chinese bar vibe with drinks and good food. Service was on point too. This place reminded me of the late night skewer places with lounge vibe in China. I love those places when i go. We found this place on yelp and tbh was hesitant at first because it was new and it didnt have a lot of reviews. There has been alot of skewers places popping up and most are over saucy or powdered to mask the food. But it was closer to where we were so we decided to give it a try. The place is pretty authentic and you know it is if its has local chinese customers walking in and ordering like they do in China. Lol i actually love the skewers places in China. Everything we ordered was surprisingly good. The spices and seasonings were not overpowering and well balanced. They let you order off a paper menu written in English and Chinese or on their qr code. The qr code is better because you can earn points and actually may get discount on your first order. Also the qr code allows you to easily you make adjustments to seasonings like if you want no spicy or less seasoning or no onion etc... removes the hassle of verbally remembering to communicate it. My friend and i were really surprised how good everything tasted and the price of alcohol and food was very reasonable. Even bottle water was like $.50 for Kirkland water. Some other places has the audacity to charge up to $2-3 for that. All in all will be back.

    This place has such a fun vibe. I've been here twice with friends and the food has been amazing every time. The crawfish, skewers, wings, and cucumber salad are all super flavorful. Staff is friendly, service is on point, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay longer. Definitely coming back again!

    I've walked past this place countless times since it's right in my neighborhood, and I'm so glad I finally gave it a shot today. Everything was surprisingly delicious. The lamb skewers was the highlights, but truly, everything we ordered was spot on. The owner is very welcoming and friendly, which makes the vibe even better. Highly recommend!

    My family came to M Bar BBQ after a late concert since they're open until 2AM. From the outside it's hard to tell they're open because the windows are blacked out, but once inside it's clean, and spacious, with plenty of parking out front. This is a Chinese BBQ skewer spot, but instead of a tabletop charcoal grill, they cook the skewers for you and serve them on a hot plate to keep them warm. We got lamb, beef, pork belly, quail eggs, scallops, plus the garlic cucumber salad--everything was really good, and the cucumber salad was a standout. Our daughter got the potato tornado, but they put a bit too much of their spicy sauce on it (same with the quail eggs). The flavor was good, just a little heavy-handed, so next time we'd ask them to go light on the sauce. You order by scanning a QR code and adding items from your phone, which made it super easy to keep ordering more. Service was good and friendly. The vibe was fun, with '80s Chinese music videos playing karaoke-style on the TVs, which gave the place a nostalgic, late-night hangout feel. Great late-night spot for skewers--we'd come back

    Good authentic Chinese skewers, always fresh and service was great! They have a karaoke system where customers can sing while dine in

    Beef, lamb & popcorn chicken

    The service is very good The food is yummy It's great for group gatherings and parties, will come back!

    This skewers place is pretty decent in the area. They were well seasoned and fresh. I really liked their beef skewers over lamb. The clams were good but some had sand in it. The sever/owner Mike? was friendly and attentive. I would come back to try their other items.

    Skewers were great service was also amazing
    Kenneth T.

    Food is high quality, open late closes at 4am. The service is amazing, they don't speak much english but theyre willing to communicate as much as they can. Eveything is self order anyways. Very comfortable and fun to come with friends after a long night.

Service is excellent. They have plenty of employees on staff to help with everything you need. We came on a Saturday morning, which is a busy time, but was able to get seated and served quickly. In the way of ambience, they have a lot of license plates, freeway type signs and other signage throughout the facility. It is very neat and clean and the decor is actually very nice.!

I am not usually the biggest fan of bbq(a lot of bbq sauces aren't it for me)... but I LOVE Jake's, the secret is in the sauce!! It's sweet and tangy in the perfect way and ends up with a smoky flavor from when they cook it as well. I looooove the huge beef ribs here, and the chicken is pretty good too. I've also tried the baby back ribs, which my family loves but I'm more of a beef kinda gal. Haven't tried much else on the menu because I just love the beef ribs so much tbh. The fries and salad are good, some other sides kinda feel like an afterthought, but the sides aren't the highlight here. I like the "roadside" nostalgic vibe inside, and the staff are nice. Some of the staff have been there for a long time and know a lot of the customers. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and when Monrovia comes up in conversation, I always mention Jake's :)

I will gladly and without hesitation put Canyon City Barbeque up there as some of the best Barbeque I have ever had in my life. When I say I dream of their Barbeque, I mean it. Just writing this review my mouth is salivating as I think back on the food. We ordered the Canyon City Sampler, and it is without a doubt the way to go if it's your first time. It was enough meat for 3 hungry adults with leftovers. The sampler let us to try every cut of meat they had, and every cut is barbecued to the highest level of quality for the cut. The brisket and ribs were our personal favorites. I was also blown away by how perfect the chicken was. Every side is pure deliciousness. Don't sleep on the cornbread. I wish we would've ordered even more. The texture is perfect. Crisp crunch on the outside and perfect moisture on the inside. The way cornbread should be. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw were absolutely delicious as well. We all wish we would've bought some of their Barbeque sauce to take home. They have 2 main sauces, one for pork and one for beef. I would happily drown myself in either. Our server was very polite, attentive, and made amazing recommendations (though I'm now convinced I could close my eyes, point at the menu, and be a happy camper lol) I seldom have reason to be in the area, but I now will be looking forward to making a trip back to specifically to grab some Canyon City Barbeque.

Definitely a solid appetizer, but complemented the main dishes perfectly. The meats were prepared well; tender and flavorful. The bbq sauces paired well and merely elevated each of the meats. Gus's Famous Burger was one of my favorite burgers I've had recently. Ordered the potato salad as my side and couldn't have been more satisfied. I'd recommend any of these items if you're on the fence. I think it's important to review that we had all of this as a takeout order, so I can only imagine how much more delicious this would be if we dined in and ate everything right away. Gus's Barbecue is definitely going to be a repeat visit for us. There's so much more we want to try off of their menu. Can't wait to come back soon and dine in!

TK Cafe has thoroughly impressed me off first impression, and if I was closer, I'd probably be a regular here. For how much we ordered, the food didn't take too long to come out and genuinely, was so good. We got a lot here, from the garlic shrimp to the popcorn chicken, and so much more. The popcorn chicken was, without a doubt, my favorite item. We originally came here because a friend said they had the best popcorn chicken, and I'd honestly agree. It was crispy but also still a bit juicy and I feel like most places go heavily into the crisp aspect and it ends up just seeming overcooked. But it was a 10/10 here. The proportions are huge, so it's easy to over order. The crab rangoons were good on the portions and crispness and not overly filled with cream cheese which is nice. The noodles were good, pretty average, same with the Mac salad. The garlic shrimp was a bit overly garlic-y, but it was still good. If you're looking for a new Hawaiian spot, definitely check out TK Cafe. The proportions are huge and the taste is amazing. If I'm ever in Monrovia again, I'd definitely be stopping by!
