Selection of beer

Located in Chinatown across from oasis. Street parking is always a mess in Chinatown. Not too packed for a Friday night. Small space but clean. Not smoky for a bbq place! Options were pretty limited but we ordered: Wagyu skewers, pork belly, chicken gizzard, corn, pork skin, sausage (not really a sausage but a hot dog), surf clam, jellyfish and cucumber. Not extremely filling but orders came fast and precooked so roasting on the mink grill have it the char. Flavor is was good but nothing out of this world. Tad bit expensive for the amount of food. Waiters were friendly and quick in refilling out water.

Price and quality was reasonable. Service fairly decent and great place to stop in to experience though I won't recommend the meats if you don't like spices on your meat since it was a tiny bite spicy.

Was excited to try a new skewers spot in the ID, but was slightly disappointed. Not sure if it's still the soft opening but they didn't have alot of skewers options and it's pretty expensive. I do like the concept of having the skewers rotate in the grill in front of you to keep it warm but other than that, nothing special

My toddler walked by and insisted we eat in here. It's very bright inside and cute decorations (planters, hanboks, bear statue) When we were seated she kept asking me if it's so nice and so calm "even no one is talking" lol Order from iPad, but servers are there to help you/ answer questions. They speak English and some servers speak mandarin and others Cantonese We got the lamb, beef, pork belly with enoki and chicken skin skewers. They were all yummy except the chicken skin... the chicken skin was such a generous amount; other places would only give you half of what this place gives you!!! My only "complaint" it's it's more on the wet side and I like my chicken skin more crispy. Also I didn't know all skewers came with pepper flakes on them !!! So make sure to ask your server for no spice if you don't want spice. But my toddler still enjoyed the beef and lamb skewer (I took off as much peppers as I could with my chopsticks) Fried rice was really good, had WOK HAY. Comfy couches but for kids it might be a bit far from the table and they are not movable. But they also have high chairs available My toddler kept asking me proudly did she make a good choice to check this restaurant out and kept asking me to go back!!

Upon stumbling across a single review of this place, I knew it was time to check out a new place in ID. :) Came here for dinner with a friend and oh boy!!! It is such a fun experience! Highlights below: -Location: Located in the former Shanghai Garden restaurant, this place is easy to find. It's right across from Oasis ~ -Soft Opening Alert! At this time of review, this place is still in soft opening phrase. -Food Origins: Featuring dishes from the Yanji area of China, you'll find some unique dishes that has a blend of both China and Korea! Just do a quick google research :) Very interesting to know since you'll see it in the menu. -The Tech: Most notably different about this place compared to other Chinese restaurants, there's this cool machine thing in the middle of the table. You can place your skewers on the lower half where it will rotate your meat and keep it warm! :D Another cool thing is you can use the ridges to help slide the meat off as well. -The Service: Very friendly and helpful staff! Even when the placed was packed (surprisingly at 7pm on a weekday), staff was always quick and attentive when we asked for help or had questions. -Interior: Bright, clean and cozy. Love how there was decorations to highlight the Yanji region and the booths were comfy. -The Food: All dishes were so yummy! Here's what my friend and I ordered: --Skewers: Lamb, Intestines, Wagyu. All 3 were good, but intestines and lamb were my favorite. Try the house seasoning packets provided with the skewers! Makes it extra tasty~ --Dongbei Style Pork Aspic: Sounds different but give this cold dish a try! It's a collagen rich pork gelatin like texture and taste and it's super refreshing to eat after the hot dishes. It's also a dish not seen often in menus so definitely worth a try. --Crispy sweet & sour pork: Probably my most favorite dish here. Not too sweet but the crispy crunch came with a slightly mochi like/chewy texture on the side. Quite good and different from the standard sweet and sour pork. --Yanji Noodles: Between the cold and warm version, we opted for the warm one. Served with corn noodles; this was delicious! Love the light broth and the noodles itself. Definitely can taste a bit of the corn and it wasn't too overpowering. Overall, would recommend this place if you're looking to try something new in ID :)

Flavor was great, and ingredients were fresh. I wish there was a bigger selection of vegetables and other meat items like chicken heart. Their pickled cabbage was good, and service was sharp! Hope their menu expands!

Been waiting for a Yanji bbq in town and they definitely did not disappoint. It is in Chinatown so only street parking. The dining room is bright and clean. Staffs are friendly. I love thur beef skewers with pineapple, juicy and flavorful. Their cold noodle was also good. Lots of meat to choose from. The meat serve cooked but there is a rotating grill on the table that keeps your meat warm. In my opinion, it's better than having me cook them since I am not a fan of smelling smoked. Left with a happy and full tummy.

Food is excellent and I like the atmosphere inside! Staffs were really helpful and attentive. Will definitely come back!

We had a really good meal at Duke's on South Lake Union. We got the crab cake burger, salmon bites,…read morechowder and some cocktails, but the coconut shrimp was definitely the highlight for me. Everything was really good and there was a nice variety of things to order. We sat outside on the dock and the seating was probably my favorite part of the whole experience. Being right on the water with the boats and Lake Union around you made it such a fun Seattle dining experience. The staff was nice and the service was good too. Definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice because the view really makes it worth it.

Came at 430 on a Wednesday and didn't have reservations. They were busy, but able to seat us (party…read moreof 5) within 5 minutes. They told us they had a party coming in at 6 so we needed to leave by then. No one kicked us out, but we left on our own at 10 after 6. Unless they were using the middle area our table was in for the large party, they were seating people around us at smaller tables. Overall service was pretty quick. Server was pleasant and attentive. We had to ask for the happy hour menu in the dining area. Server didn't automatically offer it so was a little surprised. I don't think they have a bar so how else are you supposed get happy hour prices?! Got the house white wine and the chicken tenders. The chicken came with a side of ranch and mustard as sauces as well as some coleslaw. It's a fish place so can't be that upset on chicken taste, but some bites were on the meatier end than others, which weren't ideal. Based on that alone not impressed. Can't speak to anything else unfortunately. Varied menu (though pricey). Self pay parking lot.

we stayed at the Palladium, which is the hotel attached to this restaurant, & they offer breakfast…read morevouchers for the chase sapphire reserve for part of their amenities- which gave us plenty of meals through shaker + spear. every morning we were so grateful to have delicious, well done breakfast to get our day started! every entrée that we had was really good, solid breakfast food that included coffee & juice. We had a mix of classic breakfast foods like omelettes, french toast and benedict- but our personal fave was the salmon benedict as well as the banana foster french toast!! I have to say, the food was pretty good- nothing super out of the ordinary, but the service is what blew us away. The wait staff was extremely professional, prompt & friendly. Our favorite server was Alexis, he made every breakfast feel like we were having one at home with a friend. The manager, hosts & servers were all amazing people who genuinely just want you to have a good meal. I really admire any restaurant that can truly make it feel like home. Thanks to Shaker + Spear for being amazing for our trip in Washington- will 100% be back!!

Nice and easy restaurant attached to a hotel. Service was rather slow this evening as there was…read moreonly one cook in the kitchen. It's nice to watch the staff cook because it tells you that the food is fresh. I have high expectations for seafood in Seattle. However, I was disappointed with the scallops as it tasted raw and cool to the touch in the center. I'm not a scallop expert but this one missed the mark - the flavors were off with the sauce (tasted earthy). Presentation and color looked good, but this didn't taste good. Also came here breakfast several times. I don't have pictures, but each time the breakfast was amazing!
