    The food here is good for a skewer restaurant. Better than Little Skewers. Spicy clams were seriously good vs all the Asian restaurants we eat at. Seasoning on meats were also good. Only complaints..SERVICE was just ok. Dirty dishes and trash container sat on the table all night. Never picked anything up. Short ribs on stick was waaaaaaaay tough. Would recommend if for the food only and don't care about service. Little Skewers service much better.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Great food and nice people here. I ordered BBQ lamb and Beijing style fried sauce noodle. Super love the lamb, juicy and soft. The noodle is covered in plenty sauce and minced pork, and shredded cucumber. Plus, it is inexpensive at all. I Would definitely come back next time.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    Scallop...couldn't take a picture of the rest because we already ate them

    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

    Wow! I can't believe I didn't know about this location opening up. I grew up going to the location…read morein azusa and would often reminisce on eating there and playing the racing games inside with my family. There's nostalgia factor for me forsure. But I'm happy the food was just as good as I remembered. The beef rib melted off the bone... incredible. Their bbq sauce is yummy, a tangy, smoky, and a lil sweet. The chicken was juicy and had the delicious bbq sauce. I appreciate that they don't skimp on the quality of their sides either. The rice with gravy.. bomb! The corn on the cob... bomb! Overall price was really good for bbq and quality too!

    Love is in the name! This place is in a business type place. So hidden, but I found this place…read morethrough Yelp. I drive for work now and always trying to find something new. I ordered the all day special for $23.99. Includes 1 chicken leg quarter, choice of 2 beef ribs or 4 pork ribs with choice of 2 sides and a roll. I chose the beef ribs! Not many restaurants have beef ribs on weekdays. These ribs were not dinosaur bones, but did the trick. I can get pork ribs anywhere, but to get beef ribs any day of the week? My kind of place! Meats were delicious and tender and covered with BBQ sauce. BBQ sauce was tangy and they have squeeze bottles of it to have at your table. Loved the mash potatoes and rice.

    A classic staple BBQ in the Pasadena area!…read more GREAT HAPPY HOUR. From 3pm-5:30pm Mon- Friday! The have a fantastic happy hour with half off some of their drinks and half off certain appetizers and entrees (check thier website!). Their corn bread is a must with thier iconic japelpeno jam spread (though its not included on thier happy hour). They have great sides and appetizers, and haven't had one I didn't like! Their baby back, spare ribs, and brisket are fantastic with sauces on the side if you wanted to more BBQ sauce to your BBQ meat! Though in my opinion, I don't need it usually, as the meats are already so flavorful as is! I'd say its great for groups, though a bit pricy, but boy is this good, hearty, fall of the bone, BBQ! The servers have always been great and kind and even when we were celebrating a birthday last visit, they brought out a icecream Sundae with a candle! Very sweet! I talked to a man at the South Pasadena museum and told us that Gus's is the oldest BBQ establishment in California, serving hungry patrons since 1946. They haven't been in business in over 70 years for nothing! Thought it's been a long time, the place is still well maintained and updated so it still is nice and clean, but still keeping its historic core. Come by this meaty institution for their renowned classic American barbaque, with great libations, great food and amazing service with tasty history!

    Came to Gus's for the first time ever~ even tho I've driven past it for years!…read more The restaurant feels like a diner but it's a great bbq place! I got the Nashville hot chicken plate and it was actually quite spiced! I am pretty good w spicy foods but I couldn't or didn't want to finish the entire thing bc it was getting to me. But overall, quite tasty! (I probably won't get it again since I want to be able to dig in full but I appreciated the dish anyway.) All the sides were delicious. The portions are nice and big. The soda refills were flowing. The service was great. Everyone was super kind and helpful with ordering. :) There is a parking lot right next to the entrance. There's also plenty of parking around the area or neighborhood.
