    New skewers spot that didn't disappoint. I like how they have a variety and their seasoning is good. Food came out quickly and everything was filling. I'd come back again.

    Great service. Great skewers and the seasoning was good. The atmosphere is pretty casual. The grilled oysters were terrific and the preserved egg were just ok as they had only a very light sauce compared to other places. Great place for drinks with the bbq. We did not try a lot of the menu, but we did try a lot of different skewers and found them delicious and delightful. I really liked this place and will be back. I also should mention that the restroom was clean. All together a terrific experience!

    3.5 stars. Nicely redone interior. Attentive staff. QR code menu/ordering. Food came fast. The first batch of veggie skewers and lamb skewers were quite oily and salty. More salty than I'm used to. Second batch was less oily and on point for seasoning. Had both lamb and pork belly skewers. Meat on both counts was just ok. Pork belly was especially fatty (not the good kind). Was even tough at times.

    Solid Chinese BBQ spot in Fremont! They have such a wide variety of skewers to choose from ranging from meats to veggies. A few are really enjoyed where the enoki mushroom wrapped in pork belly and beef skewers. The flavoring was nice and not overly spicy. Other skewer places I feel are a tad spicy for me, but I have lower tolerance. Also be sure to try their scallop with noodles! Ordering was super easy, you simply have to scan the QR code and each person can add to the tab. The skewers came out intermittently, but at a steady pace.

    Randomly found this place because I was craving for BBQ skewers! They have 2 locations and this is their second location. There is plenty of parking in the plaza! We came on a Friday night and got there around 7pm and not crowded. Not sure how long they will have their special promo but love that they have buy 5 get 1 skewers FREE! It's not overly priced. We ordered quite a lot of food, so about $50 per person. They have a lot of varieties to choose from and their taste is just right for us! *Flavorful and not too salty or plain! I totally recommend trying this place out!

    Came to Mutanke BBQ (慕碳客烧烤) and left very happy. This is Chinese-style charcoal skewer bbq done right! everything arrives hot, smoky, and packed with flavor. The lamb and beef skewers were tender with the perfect amount of char and cumin spice, and the grilled ox tongue was a standout. The seafood is where it really shines though. The grilled oysters and scallop vermicelli come loaded with garlic and scallions and were some of the best bites of the night. Almost everything on the menu runs a buy 5 get 1 free deal, so it's easy to order a big spread without the bill getting out of hand. Great spot for sharing with a group.

    It's good! Oyster dish was our favorite - they were fresh and HUGE. The skewers were also on point. Lamb back stew was flavorful; meat fell off the bones.

    Location ‼ Location‼ Location‼ Conveniently situated off 880 and Fremont Blvd Had to order extra because just love these amazing dishes. Brought our own togo containers to save our earth

    Scallop vermicelli. Good!! Cooked well and seasoned with garlic sauce.

    Took 34 minutes to get a single morsel of food! I've never had to wait so long before at a Chinese BBQ. The restaurant was only 70% full but it sounded like there were a lot of Togo orders coming in. Worse, after waiting that long, the food came out barely warm! I thought the kitchen was slammed but somehow my skewers were not hot at all. The seasoning is a little bland to me--not salty or spiced enough. Beef was a little dry and some skewers were smaller than others. I would recommend the scallop vermicelli and eggplant tinfoil; their garlic sauces are good! In general, I liked the veggies more than the meat despite being a meat lover.

    How did I just find out the Bay Area has BBQ that's as good as the one I had in Texas…read more Come with me to Smoking Pig BBQ, and they've been quietly smoking meats low and slow since 2011. Every brisket, rib, and pulled pork shoulder is smoked for hours over real oak and apple wood. And you can taste it in the tenderness of the meat. The brisket is rich, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The pulled pork is packed with flavor and practically falls apart with every bite. The ribs are juicy, perfectly seasoned, and pass the pull test every single time. This is my first time having burnt ends and they were bursting with savory flavor but doesn't taste burnt at all. This place isn't just about the food either because the whole family can enjoy watching the World Cup right here. And right now, when you order any main dish, you can get ONE FREE item of your choice link in my bio: Wolf Turds, Wolf Turd Quesadilla, Mac & Cheese Balls, BBQ Beans, or Banana Pudding. The voucher link is in my bio or comment BBQ to get it sent in your DM. Trust me... It's time to put Smoking Pig BBQ back on the map.

    I'll start by saying I'm not the biggest BBQ person out there. I like it okay, but it's not my go…read moreto, but there was an "influencer" deal happening for a free appetizer or dessert so.... why not give it a go. First off, the restaurant is huge. I mean, plenty of parking in the parking lot and plenty of seating inside and this place was not busy when we arrived. Despite it not being packed, service took a while to notice us at the door, to acknowledge us at our table, and to take our order. I can't blame them - the two people that I saw working definitely looked a bit frazzled, but still tried to keep an upbeat attitude. My husband and I opted for the wolf turds (stuffed jalapenos), 1 meat combo (brisket), the banana pudding, and to be honest I forgot what my husband got but the meat on his plate was more tender than the brisket I received. I appreciated their selection of sauces on the table because the meat on both plates were pretty bland. The mac and cheese was cold, but not the worse I've ever had, and the corn bread was dry. The banana pudding was thick, but delightful. Overall, it's a huge pass on the bbq for me, but I've heard good things about their key lime pie.

    I've had this on my list for the longest time but after the reviews dropped, my interest dropped…read more We were hungry after going to the movies and the boyfriend suggested skewers. He had no idea that I had this saved so we ended up giving it a try. Dude. So good. The house special fried rice is crack albeit a little pricey ($13.99 compared to regular white rice at $2.49/bowl) but they pack it with a lot of different ingredients. It's perfect with some veggies like the chive skewers. We also loved the classic beef and lamb (minimum order of two) and lamb belly (comes in two skewers). The cut on the lamb belly is smaller than the classic lamb. The Taiwanese sausage, bbq pork with garlic, and tofu wraps (comes in ten skewers) were also delicious. Only skippable thing was the a-choy. The flavors weren't too spicy and they have a lot of drink options. Service was relatively quick but sometimes confusing in the order that it comes out. We ordered everything at the same time but the chives came out first and the a-choy came out last? Plenty of parking in the plaza; friendly (enough) service. It's a plus if you know Mandarin lol. Total was about $60 after tax and tip. We'll definitely be back!

    Another new BBQ skewer spot has opened in the Bay Area…read more There are so many options, from meat, seafood, and vegetables to rice, noodle, and soup dishes - you name it! I was excited to try a variety of dishes with my friends, and as expected, we ordered a ton and finished every single bite. Some of my top favorites were the teriyaki chicken skewer, beef pineapple skewer, grilled chicken skin, grilled bun slices, sizzling tomato egg rice, and grilled enoki mushrooms. The seasoning on the skewers was spot on and thoughtfully varied depending on the dish. Everything was cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I personally love skewers, and they're the perfect meal to enjoy with friends - chatting, laughing, and sharing delicious skewers and drinks together!

    Late-night Chinese BBQ spot that charcoal grills skewers!…read more What I loved most is that every table has its own personal warmer to keep your skewers hot while you eat. Great for slower eaters! Here's what I recommend: Beef Skewers Lamb Skewers Giant Grilled Oyster Scallop with Vermicelli Pork Belly with Enoki Grilled Mushrooms Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings Tomato Beef Hot Pot with rice Most skewers are $2-$3 each, or get 6 meat skewers for around $15 with their buy 5, get 1 free deal. Such a good value! The crispy salt & pepper chicken wings were one of my biggest surprises. You get 8 wings for $15, and they were perfectly crispy and seasoned. If you're dining with friends, this is the perfect place to order a little bit of everything and keep the feast going till late at night.

    Refreshing Cold Noodles and a Great Variety of Skewers…read more This was a standout meal that balanced comfort and something a little different. I came in mostly curious about the skewers, but the cold noodles ended up being the surprise highlight. Cold Noodles If you're on the fence about cold noodle soup -- get this. The broth is lightly tangy and deeply refreshing without being overly sweet or vinegary. The noodles had the perfect bite, and the sliced cucumber added crunch and brightness. Topped with two soft-boiled eggs and fresh cilantro, it was simple but extremely satisfying. On a hot day, this hits the spot in a way hot ramen just can't. And even though it's light and chilled, it's still filling. Grilled Skewers There were a lot of unique options and cuts -- lamb, chicken, beef, and more. Each skewer was well seasoned and cooked properly, with a good char but never dry. The flavors leaned slightly smoky with a hint of spice, and the meat was tender. It's a great way to try a few different proteins without committing to a big entrée. Overall Experience There was a bit of a language barrier when ordering, but the staff was friendly and made sure everything came out as expected. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was casual but comfortable. If you're looking for something outside the usual ramen or hot pot spots, this is absolutely worth visiting. Great variety, excellent flavors, and that cold noodle bowl alone makes it worth the trip. Highly recommended

    I really wanted to like this place based on previous reviews. However, when you enter the…read morerestaurant and see ABSOLUTELY no other patrons, you get suspicious. We ordered a whole duck to-go. We got home and it was COLD. Like it was sitting in the refrigerator for days and they just repacked it for sale. After warning it up, it was evident that this duck wasn't made fresh. Parts of it were so tough and dry it was equivalent to jerky. If you like your duck DAYS OLD, I repeat.... DAYS OLD and DRY, get it from here. For me, I will never return again.
