Insanely good. I love their selection of skewers. Some really great harder to find things like frog legs and one of my faves, chicken knee softbone (chicken cartilage). Great delivery packaging too! read more

Went here with my mom and it's a really good place that I think should be more popular. The food was really good and the staff were kind. Would highly recommend. read more

This is my favorite place. We usually order some skewers (chicken softbone, beef, lamb) and the house hotpot with fish. So many things on the menu that we want to try. The staffs are very nice and sweet! I want to add pictures to show how delicious the food is but just realized that i don't have any lol. The food was so good that i forgot to take photo but eat right away. Definitely come back (and take photos)! read more

wow service is exceptional as soon as you walk in. If you're in the area definitely make a stop here!

The BBQ here is absolutely delicious! The meat is tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. Definitely worth coming back again.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service, nothing to complain, must come if ur in the area

very nice, food was delicious staff was nice nothing to complain. Must try if you're in the area

A welcome addition to the plaza and soooo much better than Greedy Cat that proceeded it. I agree with the other reviewer that if you enjoyed GUI BBQ that you will love this place as well. The spice that'll mixture that is used on just about everything is super cuminy and addicting. My favorite was the beef skewers. It tastes just like the ones from my childhood from vendors along the streets of Chinatown! All the other dishes we got were good and flavorful as well. The pineapple rice is good but a little bit oily for me. The toast was fine. I guess I was expecting something more special or unique-- it's just buttered white bread and sugar. Service was great, helps if you speak Chinese for sure but the waitress is very friendly. Restaurant is clean and quiet. excited to come back soon! read more

Stopped off for a quick lunch and found this place on accident, because something else was closed. The menu is complicated, so much so we didn't even get to try the hot pot items. Will have to come back to try maybe for dinner. Chinese skewers and combo dishes. The combo dishes have a meat and then my guess is, two sides which change. Today was the tomato with scrambled eggs and woodear mushroom salad. Everything was yummy! The chicken combo you can select how you want the chicken seasoned. So many options. I went with Chinese salt and pepper, but then it asks for sauce, which I got ranch, because well, the other ones were less of a fit. I should have taken a picture of the menu, because it's a little confusing for a first timer, but I think I have a better understanding for next time. We were the only party for most of the time, so it was very attentive service. The food was a little slow, but I figure each thing is prepared individually. If they got busy, I think it would be problematic. Will be back again to try the hot pot item hopefully! read more

Food was solid and came out fast, which I appreciated. The place has a chill vibe but can get a little noisy during peak hours. Overall a good spot if you want something reliable without overthinking it. read more

The food is good, service is nice and polite, the ambience is very chill and has calm videos playing in the background.

Great service, garlic and spicy beef soup is so good. Make sure you get the small and spicy because it's really really spicy and it's so delicious and so affordable, we love our server. She's so sweet. I forgot to ask her name, but she has a wolf ears read more

The hot pots were delicious... our first time trying a hot pot we got one meat and one seafood hot pot and shared amongst four of us and we had a good time. The ambiance and service was great as well... will love to come again for sure. Prices are very reasonable as well. read more

Best service and food quality The server explained the menu really thoroughly. We ordered beef and pork belly skewers, short rib set (comes with a drink too!), and fish hotpot. 1. Skewers were seasoned perfectly. I've never had these types of skewers, but oh my the seasoning was so addictive :) price point is also really good! 2. Short rib set had huge portions and the cold dish included in the set was so flavorful. 3. Fish hotpot (small) was more than enough for two. Portions were generous and it came in a heatable pot, so we could enjoy it hot for the entire time. Also, they have a wide range of Chinese tea/drinks to choose from! We had so much food leftover and the server packed it up very carefully. This place is definitely worth your time/money read more

Its a nice hidden gem for those craving that chiense seasoned taste. All of the skewers are very flavorful and seasoned. It can get a bit salty but if you're into salty foods definitely give a try. We got the lamb skewers, beef skewers, chicken skewers, chicken hearts, and special seasoned chicken tenders. The name may throw you off but im telling you the Special seasoned chicken tenders is a MUST try. I would come back just to get it. Service is okay and the ambiance isnt that bad. read more

We were passing by the area and found this gem. They serve legit northern Chinese food. The appetizers we tried were so flavorful (seaweed and black fungus mushroom). The fish spicy pot was really good and comes with a huge fish filet and mixed vegetables. We got it medium spicy and it wasn't too spicy, even had a hint of sweetness. The owner served us and she was super sweet and patient while explaining the menu. It's located in a plaza with other restaurants but there was plenty of parking. read more

Great option to have close by campus, the food itself is actually really good too. I love me some hot pot and dry pot and they do it well here. They don't mess around with the spice, so medium spicy might be pushing it for most people. The cumin spicy profile is very good. We got ours with fish and it comes with a simmering pot of an entire half fillet, spam and assorted veggies. It's a cauldron of fire you definitely need rice for but it's so soothing and warming especially on a cold day. The small easily feeds two. Not to be forgotten are the lamb skewers. Fatty spiced rubbed mostly fat skewers are threaded and grilled. Incredibly flavorful, definitely get an order to share! read more

Excellent places and kids friendly. We drove all the way from San Diego! Very clean inside. We love the lamb skewers and house special fish! kids can't stop having more! read more

I love the food here! Go to stop for Chinese hot pot! The service was great and super attentive. I like the beef skewers because the flavor is great! read more

If you want ambiance, the disposable paper plates are definitely a turn-off. If you can get over that, the taste would definitely reward you. Not good but GREAT skewers, hotpot and even combo meal (Lu Rou Fan, Hong Shao Rou, etc). Authentic taste aand great value. If the owner is reading this place definitely need a liquor license - you definitely need beer with this type of food. read more

Great food it was very filling and the skewers are great. The seafood is large portions and was savory.

Really yummy food. We had skewers of various meats, the cucumber salad, and dumplings. So good. We'll be back for hot pot and more.

The food was amazing and this place is very cool. The service is absolutely amazing and the lady was very friendly.

First thing that I noticed was the ridiculous price. The skewers AVERAGED $7-$8 a skewer which I thought was quite a high up charge. We were already there so we just ordered anyways. We ordered the beef, lamb, large intestine, and fried rice which honestly were all pretty good and well seasoned, especially the large intestine which was my personal favorite. It was super crispy yet the meat inside was so juicy and tender. Would I say it was worth $8 a pop? Not really compared to other skewer places that charge $2-3 per and taste almost identical. Do note that they serve your food in styrofoam plates and small paper trays, which I don't mind but aren't the best for pictures. It doesn't matter as long as the food is good. The one thing that really threw me off was when we went up to pay, I was going to pay our order in cash and they did offer a complimentary jelly dessert for doing so. It was really delicious honestly but as I waited for them to hand us our complimentary jelly after receiving my change, they said "Did you tip yet?" "Tipping is most appreciated so please tip." I was already going to leave cash on the table as tip as I generally do in restaurants but I was just kinda thrown off by the cashier's pushy attitude. I still tipped nonetheless but would not comeback. read more

We ordered the fried chicken which was surprisingly good, although the accompanying chips carried an unpleasant odor of rancid oil. Additionally, we selected the fish fillet hot pot with two to three extra toppings. Fortunately, we chose the small portion size for the hot pot, as the two of us were unable to finish it! We had to take home the almost all chicken. In summary, the meal was great overall, with only a minor drawback. read more

Very welcoming and great food. Had the hotpot and braised pork belly for dinner. Highly recommend.

Good taste and seasoning I recommend and a lot of people don't understand but tbh ey try to make Ty wit food authentic.

The beef hotpot is amazing and the flavor is on point. The service is good! The grilled eggplant is legendary

There was only one server but she was so friendly and nice! I honestly just want to come back to feel her energy again because it was great after a long day. We were craving skewers and they did not disappoint! We had lamb, beef, pork belly, hearts, and bean curd. They were all flavorful and tasty but the pork belly really stood out! They were so good we ordered extra skewers. We also got the pork and leek handmade dumplings. They were juicy and good but the wrapper was a little thick. My partner said it would have been perfect if they served beer but overall, great experience! We will definitely be back to try the hotpot. With very few good food options around UCR, I am so happy that this place is here. read more

Food was delicious. You can adjust spicy level. We got the dry pot beef with mild spices comes with spam, sprouts, celery. We added clear flat noodle, tofu. Replaced shrimp with more beef since my daughter is allergic to shrimp. The small beef pot was enough for 3. I also order pork belly skewer. Everything was delicious. . Will be coming back to try other items. read more
