    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.

    BBQ Lamb extra spicy.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate.

Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.
