The BBQ selection is great with lots of choices. The oysters are large and free of grit. The spicy bullfrog is flavorful and generously portioned. They also have a self-serve station with snacks, fruit, and desserts. After 9 PM, the second pitcher of draft beer is half price, making it a great late-night spot. Looking forward to trying the grilled fish next time. read more

Food is always pretty decent whenever I come but they tend to get busy on the weekends and it's easy for the workers to overlook you due to the amount of tables they're working with Order through your phone which is pretty standard at many skewer places but this time my table was missing the QR code so we ordered with a expo marker and plastic menu and had to walk up and hand it to the cashiers Oysters were the last thing to come out even though we ordered it during the first round. Scallops were good but definitely like mine more saucy. Beef skewers are more meaty than other places which I appreciated. Overall decent late night spot to visit when you need some protein or a drink read more

We got a variety of skewers to try and they were good. They have some interesting things to order like brain and kidney. I felt that some of their skewers were too oily for me and had a funky taste to it. I'm not sure if it's because of the oil or the seasoning, but some didn't taste good. They open til 2 AM so perfect for late night gatherings. You order on your phone using the QR code on the table you're seated at. The service is nice and fast and it's relatively spacious in the store. read more

Been here a couple times with friends and each times it's always packed to the brim. A very popular spot that opens very late. A decent spot that my partner and I like whenever we're feeling some skewers vibes. I find myself to be a huge fan of their cucumber salad. Yes, even for a skewer place, they can be very delicious as a compliment to the savory skewers. It's nice to have that sweeter taste to offset the saltiness of all the other items. Interior is nice but can be quite hectic. Tons of tables that fit all sizes of groups, staff is quick but sometimes they do feel like they're understaffed. Service is not really a thing here, most like a food shop stand but interior. They clean tables, assign seating, bring you your food and that's basically it. Paying can be confusing but most of the time you can pay on your phone but it's recommended to pay where the register is, quick and easy. There's so many food options that you might find yourself scrolling for awhile. One feature I like is that their ordering system is easy. Scan a QR code and you can just order on your phone. Staff is moderately quick so that's a plus. If you're with a group, I recommend ordering on a designated phone to prevent any confusion or extra charges, etc. Skewers wise, my favorite goes to the beef, lamb, and the squid sticks. All are seasoned well but can be a bit salty. Most of the food here is spicy unless you ask for it so prepare for that. There's also a side/condiments bar that's filled with snacks that you can munch on while you're waiting for your food free of charge, however it's pretty filling. Overall, a decent spot that's great for a late night snack. Not the best but not the worse either when it comes to service. Food is great and even better for people who can handle spice well. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

A cool Chinese-style skewer spot in the city of San Gabriel. This was my first time here, and it was located in a plaza with an underground parking lot. The top area was quite full but the bottom still had some spots. Came here for dinner and really enjoyed the food. I liked the chicken skin, fries, scallops, and plenty of other items. Come with a nice-sized group so you can try a little bit of everything. Service was nice and they also serve alcohol here. read more

Went to Meet You BBQ SG with friends for a late-night feast - absolutely solid choice for grilled skewers, frog, and grilled fish. Must-try: · Beef tongue - super tender, grilled just right · Fried chicken skin - crispy like chips, very addictive · Frog legs - tender and flavorful, pairs perfectly with beer Best part - free-flow self-service station: You can take as much as you want: ice jelly (bingfen), peanuts, prawn crackers, and some small appetizers. The ice jelly is a lifesaver for spicy food lovers - I had 3 bowls! If you're looking for a fun night out with grilled food, beer, and free desserts, this place won't disappoint. Will come back again! read more

I m very sad to see good place turn bad. At this point, I have been here several times. On my last visit, I got here around 11pm. Had to wait for the table around 15 minutes. Service was the same. Food came out fast but my one and only favorite meat quality went downhill. Beef had a lot of chewy parts which indicated inferior meat quality and I was not happy about it. All the side dishes were empty too. I have money left over in the gift card to visit one last time to give this place another chance. Hopefully it was just one off night. read more

We came in a little over an hour before closing and were seated right away, but were told we only had one chance to order before the kitchen shut down. It felt a bit odd given we arrived about an hour and three minutes before closing, but considering they stay open until 2am, it's understandable they have to draw the line somewhere. That aside, the food was absolutely delicious. Every skewer came out hot and packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was cooked with care. The standout dishes were definitely the grilled scallops with vermicelli and the grilled oysters. Both were smothered in an incredible garlic sauce with tons of rich, aromatic flavor. The scallops and oysters were cooked perfectly and easily the highlight of the meal. Most of the skewers were spot on in terms of texture and doneness. The only miss was the potato skewers. They tasted great, but the texture was a bit off since they came out floppy instead of crispy. Overall, this is still the best skewer spot I've been to. Great flavors, solid execution, and definitely worth coming back for. read more

The food here is great, but if you don't eat spicy food, you stay need to place your order and then tell a staff that you don't want spicy. There's an option on the app, but the app specifically tells you that you need to tell a server directly. I've done that every time. As for the food, most of the skewers are served all at once. The AC is blasted so the food gets cold really fast. So you either have to eat really fast or order small portions and gradually add. I've been to other skewer restaurants where they use tealights under the metal platter to keep the skewers warm, but they didn't do that here. read more

Unfortunately have to update my review as I found out they don't have the snack bar open until later in the evenings this time around the potato swirl skewers also weren't evenly cooked so ended up soggy on some parts, crispy on others, and I could tell the crunch was from the potato being uncooked rather than crispy like a chip. I'd still come back in the future but probably only for later night meals. read more

Came here for late night dinner. I love eating skewers while inhaling beers so I was excited to try this place. It was about an hour wait so we put our names on the waitlist and tracked our spot in line. Once seated, you are able to grab some food to much on from their snack bar. The skewers itself were decent but not as good as Mr Wang or XinJiang. However, you cannot beat their beer price! read more

I tried Meet U BBQ a while back and was always amazed by the quality and quantity of food for the prices! My family and I love the appetizers bar, but they change it out pretty frequently, and some of the dishes like the sugared tomatoes and pickled cucumbers don't seem to be there anymore. The snacks are still fun to get though! I also recommend people try the grilled fish, the stinky tofu, and the scallops. Those are definitely slept on here! Overall, service is pretty quick and the vibe is very family-friendly. I typically park across the street at the San Gabriel Superstore because parking can be hard in that lot. read more

Meet U BBQ - Spicy Grilled Fish - Barbeque Near Me - San Gabriel, California

overall relatively decent chinese bbq skewer spot. inside is large and spacious, but not sure if it was just the saturday i went but only 1 server was there so service was quite slow, had to go up to counter a few times to ask for things. taste of food was good, quite oily though so not the healthiest. We got the large spicy fried fish Sichuan style, which was quite oily, but the flavor was good. The skewers are mixed: favorites included lamb, beef, potato spiral (recommend), cauliflower, chicken feet (super chewy), which hit quite well. not as good were the corn (did not like the sour-ish flavoring coating), chicken skin was average, chicken tongue was not terrible. fried rice and fried instant noodles were nothing spectacular but did its job. parking can be a pain so make sure to go underground. read more

This restaurant is in a pretty busy plaza but there is plenty of parking in the underground garage. I waitlisted when I arrived and was seating within 10 minutes. I ordered on my phone and the food came out pretty quick! They also had an appetizer bar which was rly nice. There was a variety of apps such as mapo tofu, seaweed, cripsy chips, and desserts such a fruit and jelly. Idk where they bought their oranges but it was SO SWEET I literally ate all that was left at the bar lol. Skewers Tofu wrapped enoki mushroom 10/10! Super flavorful and delicious. The tofu skin was undercooked like how other skewer places have it. Beef 8/10: typical beef skewers that had good labor too Chicken skin 7/10: not my fave since it was a bit too crispy for me but it may be someone else's cup of tea! Beef tongue 8/10: small amount given but it was the perfect chew. I would def order this again! Fried rice 8.5/10: this rly helped balance all the flavors of the skewers. I was surprised that it wasn't so bland. I would def order this again if I came back for a palate cleanse. Cheese corn 9/10: super creamy, sweet and delicious. Def satisfied my cravings Overall this place may be my new go to skewer place! read more

came here again but ordered different things on their menu. Tried their oyster and it was fresh and tasty with marinated sautéed onions and garlic on top. Oyster was not overcooked. It was still soft and sweet with oyster juices. I also tried their instant noodles that were pan fried with veggies and sausages. It had good flavor with good seasoning. read more

This place is such a nice hidden gem! I also think we came on a lucky day where they hired a balloon maker that gave everyone free balloons. They have a salad bar that was kind of hidden and we didnt even realize was there because we were seated near the front. Honestly had a great experience, they already cook the skewers for you so you don't have to worry about grilling. The building is located in a popular plaza that I have been to a countless amount of times, and parking is super easy! If you dont find parking in the main lot, they have an underground structure. read more

My sister and brother in law brought me to this place one night cause they were hungry and bored. The food was delicious and everything came out great. What was disappointing though is, they hyped up this little side bar that is free with a bunch of goodies. When we got there, 90% of it was gone... guess we got there too late. This is definitely a more casual place to drink, hang out, and eat street food. Definitely try the tinfoil clam which was so good, I forgot to take a picture. Oops. The staff was also super nice. We messed up an order and they were kind enough to cancel the order and let us change it to the correct one. read more

Their meat on the skewers are bigger pieces than many other restaurants. Totally worth the price. read more

I can't believe I haven't made a review on this one! Always good for late night eats!! Skewers, steamed fish and even frog!! This is always a go to after the movies, theatre, or whatever else is late night. They have a free appetizer bar. Items change from time to time, but we go for the chicken feet! There's also salted peanuts, shrimp chips, seaweed salad, fried wonton chips, cold Chinese sweet soups, sliced oranges, and others. Go to items.... Lamb skewers, intestines, eggplant, and pork trotters. We pick other items to try too! We had their steamed whole fish one time and was on point! Remember to get rice with that! One day I'll go back to try the frog. I think all items would all go better with beer, but I'm always the driver. One day..I'll have a friend drive! They have those tall cylinder that hold the beers and put it at your table to dispense yourself. read more

I have never experienced such a frustrating and illogical queuing system before. At first, I was ranked 5th in line. Then I moved up to 4th, but somehow went back to 5th again. I thought I might have misread it, so I didn't pay much attention at the time. Later, after entering the restaurant, when there were only four parties ahead, I was already 2nd in line. Then a group of four arrived. They even asked me at the door if the place was closed, and I politely told them it wasn't and even helped guide them to scan the code to join the queue. However, after they got seated, I was still 2nd in line -- which means I was skipped. After waiting for nearly half an hour, I went in to ask why, and the response I received was simply, "because they are a party of four." This means I was effectively skipped twice during the entire process. Is this kind of queuing rule really fair? Is your system actually based on any reasonable logic? read more

I'm a huge fan of these style skewers and I think this place has made the top of my list!! The restaurant is clean and spacious and the staff is kind. There's a serve-yourself bar with some really great snacks. The roasted peanuts and wonton chips are so addicting, it had us researching how to make the seasoning mix at home. We went for a late lunch but I really want to come here at night for drinks and dinner someday! The cucumber salad is an absolute must to brighten up an otherwise heavy and salty meal. The pork belly skewers surprised me so much and I think I preferred them over the lamb, which is my usual favorite. I would probably skip on the oysters next time and get more skewers but I'm just not a big oyster fan. I was also a huge fan of the enoki mushrooms wrapped in bean curd. Probably my favorite enoki dish I've ever had (and I've had a lot!) read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 The food was pretty good and the meats were tender and tasty. It was pretty busy when I arrived, but I didn't have to wait too long and the workers were on top of it. The only complaint I had was that the floors and windows were dirty. It could be that they were too busy to clean any of it up. Minus 1 star because I had to sit next to a dirty/sticky window read more

We've always passed by this place, but never got the chance to try it until that day! Located in the Arirang tofu plaza, there's plenty of parking underground. There wasn't a whole lot of people dining when we went around like 5:30pm, but probably bc this food is considered to be like a late dinner type of style? Since it's skewers & beer and all. They had a side bar where it's free to get some items, but honestly there wasn't that much they offer that's appealing. Maybe the shrimp chips and peanuts, but that was all. The desserts they had were pretty solid though! We ordered a series of items, beef, beef tongue, lamb, cauliflower, chicken wings, oyster, scallop, etc. Honestly my favorite was the scallop! It does have a lot of oil in it, so it leaves you feeling a little greasy. All the items are also very hot (spicy!). I often don't eat spicy, but this was definitely spicy for me haha. Meat quality here was pretty good though! Prices were reasonable and it's a nice place to get skewers honestly. The restaurant is a bit more chill, so not too rowdy like other skewer places around, but pretty decent. read more

Skewers are rarely on my radar, but they're always a treat if they're good. And Meet U BBQ is a spot that I would recommend my friends as well. For a casual evening snack, my friends and I enjoyed their beef, lamb, and shrimp skewers amongst other tasty treats. Even around 6:30pm on a Saturday night, it was bustling but no wait time. In addition to skewers, we enjoyed chives and their free self-service station (peanuts, chives, seaweed, etc.) as well as a Sapporo beer tower. Need to order more food? That's easy, as all ordering is through QR codes at the table. Some minor and unfortunate utensil issues at time of visit: Chopsticks - unlucky! Dirty bowl - grabbed another. read more

Extremely poor service and lack of basic professionalism ruined our entire dining experience at this restaurant, and I cannot recommend it to anyone. My friend and I were mid-meal when two staff members bussed nearby tables. While clearing leftover dishes, soup and food splatters splashed directly onto my face. I attempted to flag them down to ask them to work more carefully, yet they immediately wheeled their cart away without a single apology. We are both quiet, reserved people and chose not to chase them down at that moment. Later, nearly finished with our meal, we realized two skewers of chicken bone-in skewers we ordered had never arrived. We waved repeatedly to grab servers' attention, but one kept wiping the fridge, while two others stood chatting at the front counter and completely ignored all diners. When we finally caught one server, he did not check the kitchen at all and simply claimed our skewers were still being grilled. We waited another 20 minutes with no sign of our food, then stopped a different staff member to follow up--they vanished and never returned to update us. Another full 20 minutes passed before the skewers finally showed up. It is completely unreasonable for simple grilled skewers to take 40 minutes to prepare, especially when the restaurant was far from busy. The checkout process was the most frustrating part of our visit. We waved multiple times requesting our bill; two servers clearly saw us. A female staff told her male coworker to print checks for our table and the table in front of us, but he only delivered the bill to the other party and left ours unattended for ages. We even submitted a checkout request via their online ordering page and waved again to signal we were ready to pay. The front desk staff only gave us an OK hand gesture but took zero action. We were continuously overlooked for no apparent reason, while all staff stood around idle with no sense of urgency to assist guests. Fed up with waiting indefinitely, we walked over to the front counter to pay ourselves. As we approached, the staff tried to duck off to the kitchen or start random cleaning tasks to avoid handling our payment. The entire team lacks basic customer service training and common courtesy. The consistent disregard for diners, careless table bussing, massive food delays, and negligent checkout handling make this place not worth your time or money. Save yourself the hassle and pick a different spot. read more

Casual dining - hits the spot for a late night bite. It's like $2-$6 per skewer which gets pricey real quick. There were a few tables available at 10pm on a Thursday. Waited 10ish minutes for a party of 6. Ordering is easy as it's done through your phone. Food comes out a little on the slower side, but there is a self serve appetizer/snack bar including mexican wheel chips (aka Chicharrones de Harina which were a surprise yum), steamed peanuts, aiyu jelly (fave!), oranges, and other dessert. Some of my favorite orders from most fave to least include the beef tongue, chicken gizzard/heart lamb, beef, and chicken skin. The rice cake was also pretty decent as well. I would NOT get the intestine (grainy, soft, and gamey) and enoki wrapped in bean curd (mineral-tasting?) again. The seasoning on everything has a slight kick but overall pretty much the same imo which can get pretty tiring. Came out to $30ish pp and was decently full. Easy parking in the back. I'd only come back for small bites or if I was craving skewers but there's too many places to try in SGV and for a potentially better price point. read more

Had a great dinner experience here! The golden soup grilled fish was definitely the highlight，the fish was fresh, tender, and full of flavor, with a rich and slightly tangy broth that got even better as it simmered. We also tried the BBQ skewers, especially the beef tongue and chicken wings, which were cooked perfectly with a nice smoky flavor. Great place for hanging out with friends. Would definitely come back to try more dishes! read more

Absolutely loved this place! The signature grilled fish was flavorful and perfectly cooked. We added frog legs and sweet potato noodles, which soaked up all the delicious sauce. The foil-baked pork brain and enoki mushrooms were surprisingly good, and the skewers were also well-seasoned and grilled to perfection. What really stood out was the complimentary snack bar with lemon chicken feet, bingfen, white fungus soup, fresh fruit, and chips. Such a nice touch while waiting for the food. Great food, generous portions, good ambiance and excellent value. Will definitely be back! read more

I really like the skewers here. I've dined in and also ordered takeout through Fantuan, and the quality of both the food and service has consistently been great. There's plenty of free parking available behind the plaza, which is super convenient. My favorite skewers here are: - Beef tongue - Shrimp - Chicken skin - Charcoal-grilled pork - Baked gluten All the skewers are well-marinated with a delicious mala flavor. The beef tongue is tender and not overly chewy. The shrimp was surprisingly great and plump. The charcoal-grilled pork has a nice fattiness to it without being too heavy, and the chicken skin is perfectly crispy, offering a great contrast in texture compared to the more tender or chewy skewers. If you're into spicy food, the spicy option isn't that hot. It just adds a bit more of that signature numbing mala kick. I've also tried the beef and lamb skewers, which are quite good too, but I still prefer the others I mentioned above. The prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes, especially since the meat pieces aren't ridiculously tiny like at some other places. The restaurant is also a great spot for both small and large group gatherings- it's spacious and doesn't feel cramped at all. read more

Wanted to play the field a bit so we found this skewer spot in a plaza. Parking was easy, the ambiance was casual and the staff were snappy with dishes. I also love that they have a mobile ordering/check system. The food breakdown: - ironically all the skewers we had were good, but nothing to write home about - the baked eggplant and baked oysters were really well spiced, garlic heavy and were great bites - the grilled fish (golden) was great. not too bony and very large pieces of perfectly cooked fish. just the right amount of spice. and the chunks of potato and veggies stewing in the soup were fun to fish around for. Would definitely return to try some different skewers and see what we missed out on the first time around read more

Pretty good spot for skewers. It has a very casual atmosphere. You scan a QR code and order through your phone. I am a fan of the self-serve side bar. It had peanuts, chips, seaweed salad, tofu, oranges, and several other things. The bar looked clean and well maintained. My table ordered a bunch of skewers to share as well as a cucumber salad. Everything is going to be spicy unless you ask for no spicy. I would say that the spice level was only mild. Some of my favorites were the beef tongue and beef skewers. They had just the right amount of seasoning. It's great that they are open late everyday. I would come here when I need a late night snack or meal. The place is good for large groups as well as small groups. There is plenty of free underground parking, which is a bonus for me. read more
