I try not to have super high expectations when it comes to 1) recently opened restaurants and 2) BBQ places because often times places will skimp out on portion/flavour, or the meat is super dry and overcooked. I was really impressed with this place!
The group of us tried a large variety of items on the menu and they were all delicious (although, the grilled eggplant was not my favourite and was a little too garlicky for my tastes but I didn't really like eggplant to begin with).
For skewers, I tried Taiwanese sausage, pork belly, New Zealand lamb and chicken skin. All were great, but the pork belly was my personal favourite. Everything was flavoured really well, and great if you like spicy (if you don't, they can adjust the spice level, just ask!). The others had chicken wings and they said they were really juicy. Another noteworthy mention were the beef short ribs. I normally don't really enjoy eating short ribs because I feel like I'm wrestling with it just to get the meat off the bone. However, the short rib here was sooo tender!
Seafood wise, we tried scallops, squid tentacles and grilled whole squid. My friends had oysters and said those were good. I personally don't usually order grilled whole squid but I might come back and order it here because it was super tender! The squid tentacles brought back good memories of night markets.
One thing that I love about this place is that it's not only BBQ items/skewers. They also offer things like green onion pancake, BBQ buns (they make the buns in house - tasted kinda baguette ish with the same seasoning they use for the meats). My boyfriend loved their malatang spicy pot and said he would love it as an entree with some rice. The cold noodle was also pretty good!
They also have some cold dishes, I quite liked the pork ear with cucumber, it had a good sesame oil kind of flavour. I didn't even know I liked pork ear!
I would like to see them offer the option for different seasonings for the skewers, as the one they use was great but it may be interesting to change things up! I will be back when I'm craving BBQ read more
