Amazing food great service friendly staff and not sure why it's marked closed it isn't! Open late and they don't use msg in everything which is rare for late night snack food places. Quality food including skewers and noodle soups, they can modify for spice or allergy specifications as well. Highly recommend and also parking is super easy. Not sure why this place isn't more hyped but it should be. read more

Great food and vibes here! Order through the QR code via mobile and the food comes out fairly quick. This plaza is a mix of Chinese, Japanese , and Korean. Somewhat of a Chinese menu, Japanese decor and izakaya (even though they call it skewers), with Korean utensils, soju and K-pop music playing. The beef tongue was really good with the yuzu sauce they have. All the skewers were good too, especially the lamb and gizzards. Set up a membership account and you get some discounted dishes! Will definitely come back! read more

I went with two other people and we tried a variety of items (some not pictured). My favorites, however, were the kimchi fried rice and the pork belly skewers. Those two dishes alone I would return for. We also got a dish with scallops that were surprisingly reasonably priced! Portions are pretty fair amongst 3 people. We hardly had any left overs. Also, we got the Holiday special for $40 which was 2 bottles of soju and a pint of beer. Overall, the place had a very nice ambiance! My party went about 9pm on a Wednesday and there wasn't a wait at all. I will be returning in the future. read more

Quality is definitely there! Entire meal was around $65. Really enjoyed their pork cheek with yuzu and their grilled intestine as it's stuffed with a sliver of green onion. Meat skewers were nice and the option of add more cumin/spices to your liking is a plus. read more

The Barn - Barbeque Near Me - Arcadia, California

Asian tapas style dining in a relaxed casual setting. More like an Asian Izakaya type meal. Good eats, somewhat pricey for two skewers orders but would return because of the variety and a great place for late night "snacks" with good friends. Not picture (forgot to take): tongue, this one was okay with okay taste and texture. read more

Love that it's open later than a lot of other businesses in the area! Yummy skewers and great food to eat with ice cold beers. Ordering here is super easy from your phone, service is super fast, and parking is easy and plentiful. We like the string beans, chicken wings, BEEF SKEWERSSS, corn cheese, and fried cabbage. Also don't forget to use the seasonings at the table to amp up the flavor even more! read more

We came right around 5:30pm on a Wednesday and were the first customers there. There's a QR code to scan and order. Once you submit your order, it's feels like only a 5 min wait. The food comes out pretty quickly. Cold cucumber: you have the option to make it salty or spicy. We chose spicy since we were having our fried cabbage salty. Fried cabbage: I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. The salad is crunchy, garlicky with every bite and nice to eat along with the meat skewers (and feel healthier for having veggies lol) Yuzu pork cheek: this was my favorite. The Yuzu flavor complemented the pork and the pork had a nice char on the outside and inside just melted in your mouth. If I could order 3 of these, I would. Scallops: dish came with onions and mushrooms. Nice texture For skewers, we had heart, gizzard, waygu, wrapped shrimp, lamb, pork belly. All the ones we ordered came with 2 skewers except for wrapped shrimp was just 1. Usual skewer food. The lamb was very well seasoned (looks like fennel?) and you can dip it in cumin for more flavor. Would come again! read more

Food - 3/5 I've been here 2x and both times we're meh. The first time I went I thought it was just ok, but maybe it was what I ordered and an off day, but coming back a second time the food was just as meh as the first. I love the idea and the types of food it serves, but the cook and taste just was a miss for me. Service - 3.5/5 The staff were friendly and quick with dropping off food, however it took forever to get refills on water and just little things like napkins and the check. Ambience - 3.5/5 No frills spot. Lots of booths a little dark towards the back of the restaurant but clean. read more

We've been craving skewers and this is the perfect spot for them. We ordered the Chonqing Noodles, kimchi fried rice, garlic sautéed string beans, pork cheeks, pork jowl, lamb skewers, beef skewers, bacon shrimp skewers, bacon asparagus skewers, pork belly skewers, and karaage chicken. Quick and nice service. Kinda small location, but food tasted really good. Our fav dishes were the pork cheeks, pork jowl, and bacon asparagus skewers. They're located in the same plaza as Vons and LA Fitness, and right next to Blaze Pizza. read more

My bf and I stopped by because we weren't too hungry and just wanted some small bites. You order through your phone, and the skewers come out pretty quickly.

I popped in looking for an Izakaya and trying to feel samurai. It was Thursday. And did I ever find the place. Great place to bring a date it has a romantic vibe but enough for a single casual night. House music on the pipes and dry beer. And the BBQ on a par with Tokyo. Hot Pot was delish too the Chinese Asian Fusion taste and ingredients of even the House Chicken and Mushroom was an unexpected culinary treat. Who is ever in the back on Thursdays. Woo you good, man! read more

Not sure why my original rating was so terrible-- actually I am. When this place first opened the food wasn't great and the service wasn't either. Over the years the food has improved. Not only that they are chill about reservations for large groups (no deposit), and have an area that sits about 20-25. With big groups the food can get slow since they're heavy on skewers but otherwise flavor is good, and they offer other dishes and not just skewers alone like some places. read more

This place is such a chill place to go to with friends for a drink or yummy skewers xD I love how this place opens til pretty late (for Arcadia). Their skewers are seriously cooked to perfection & the workers are so nice and always give us extra heheh! PS plsss pls get their lamb, Wagyu, and beef skewers. I'm still thinking about how yummy she was! Very good but also not THE best skewers I've ever had. I will probably come back with friends if we're nearby the area :-) read more

The Barn - yummy skewers xD - Barbeque Near Me - Arcadia, California

Good vibes and great ambience at this modern late night Chinese eatery, featuring their signature skewers and other quick bites. Likely, most patrons come for their varied selection of beer and other alcohol. The late closing time allows for great flexibility in visiting, and I can easily see this place being a good pre-game venue for late night shenanigans. read more

I almost don't even want to write a review because I want this place to stay lowkey - but I feel like doing so would be selfish lol. This is one of the few places in Arcadia (at least that I know of??) that's open late. Ambiance: Comfortable, perfect place to chit-chat while eating some skewers Service: Quick -- you order through your phone, so dishes come out fairly quickly. It's also nice, because you and your group can simultaneously place orders for the table Food: If you love getting a bunch of small bites and sharing it with friends family-style, this place is for you! I believe they do have some entree-sized dishes, but I mainly come here for skewers and drinks (Also, if you're like me and find yourself always having some space for dessert after a filling meal, I recommend trying their fried buns with condensed milk -- simply delish.) read more

I had this bookmarked for the longest time. The skewers caught my eye, however, I am not a fan of this place. My fiancé and I ordered pork belly and chicken thigh skewer. I assumed the wait wouldn't be long but it took a while. Pork belly: super dry! Their seasoning powder saved the day. Overall, so expensive for the quality you get. Our chicken thighs never made it. Our server gave it to the wrong table. Honestly, it was probably sign to not order it. $15 for four skewers.. I recommend saving your money and go elsewhere. read more

The Barn - Pork belly - Barbeque Near Me - Arcadia, California

For the amount of food you get, the prices are utterly absurd. Might I also say the food quality was also way below average. If you want skewers just go to Little Skewers! Service was ok and we didn't have to wait too long for the food but boy were we astonished by the tiny scoops and skewers we got...very disappointing to say the absolute least. Chicken heart was smelly and got smellier when it turned cold because no one wanted to eat it. The green beans was the only solid dish. The Chongqing noodles were drenched in overflowing chili oil we thought it was soup. Talk about an artery clog to the max! But yea crazy experience because it was $70 for 8 skewers, a bowl of noodles, a small bowl of chopped up cold squid, and green beans. Save yourself and don't go here if you don't want to put a massive dent in your bank account !! read more

Absolutely blown away on my first visit! We tried a wide variety of dishes and every single one was on point--flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. Must-tries: * Chongqing spicy noodles (mouth-numbing in the best way!) * Dry pot pork intestine (bold and addictive) * Bamboo fungus chicken soup (light yet rich in flavor) * Japanese-style pork cutlet (crispy outside, tender inside) * Grilled fish jaw, chicken wings, skewered beef and chicken breast, chive skewers--so juicy and well seasoned * Cheese corn and grilled pig trotters were the perfect finish! The menu offers a great mix of Sichuan, Japanese, and classic skewer dishes--perfect for group dining or a cozy night out. Highly recommend and will definitely come back! read more

TRY THE PORK BELLY. I'm not a big pork guy, but this pork belly is the stuff of dreams. I wanna order like 6 orders and call it a night. That being said all the skewers are delicious, the fish is delicious, my friend is a big fan of the wings and corn. Everything I've had here is A1 but it is priced appropriately so you really do get what you paid for. That being said that freaking pork belly will keep me chained here for years to come. Also appreciate that they're open decently late. read more

Yooooooooooooooo! Quite far a drive from my place but the drive was well worth it. Decided to try a new restaurant from a different city from me and always wanted to visit this spot and finally got the chance to. The best dishes from my orders were the lamb skewers which were grilled perfectly not over cooked, the kimchi fried rice we enjoyed a lot and typically we don't like it when the kimchi is sour but the fried rice had the perfect taste no sourness from the kimchi, the pork cheeks were perfectly cooked as well, the beef tongue was a bit over cooked, wagyu beef skewers were amazing and the shrimp was perfectly grilled and seasoned and lastly the grilled cauliflower and zucchini was also perfectly grilled. For the items we didn't enjoy to much was the grilled pork belly a bit too salty and overcooked, the squid wasn't cut up properly and felt it was overcooked, the cartilage just wasn't for me, and the bacon wrapped asparagus wasn't anything special. But the service was amazing, nice dim lit place to bring a date and great for family as well. Will definitely be coming back if ever I decide to drive an hour away for food into that area. read more

The food is a little overpriced but thats to be expected in Arcadia. The skewers are all really good to my knowledge and the fried rice also is seasoned nicely. The inside looks very nice, and the service is good as well. The best thing about this place is that they are open really late, so its perfect for night owls. read more

Great food, very reasonable price, good service. The big surprise standout for me was the intestine plate. Texture was similar to crispy peking duck, and the flavor was very nice if you like large intestine. Excellent choice for either a happy hour/late night meal + drinks, or a standard sit down meal read more

Sooo good. Their beef tongue was so good + I felt like their skewers all were cooked to perfection. Will be back! read more

The food was immaculate, if you don't count the burnt chicken cartilage. (wasn't very tasty..) The corn was sweet, the chives were pretty good aswell! I really recommend the fried cabbage (it does have a little odd after-taste after, but not too bad!), the corn, and the beef skewers! (the beef skewers tasted perfect!!) The service was decent, the server started speaking to us in chinese (we could understand though! we were just a little caught off guard!) It was very pretty inside the restaurant as well, the lighting amplifies the atmosphere and colors around you, overall it feels very lively and pretty, 8/10!! read more

Food was good! A little pricy but yummy! Cool setting with a nice bar vibe. Rellly like the intestines with green onion!

It was a Sunday night around 10 pm and everything was closed on our way home from Universal Studios... I found this place on Yelp And noticed that it was open late... we were so happy they were open and even happier that the service and the food were excellent! The place was cute and the staff were attentive, we were a party of 3 and ordered a beef Skewers, chicken Skewers, spicy cucumber Salad,Shiitake Mushroom skewer, Beef Noodle Soup and chicken fried rice. Everything came out hot , the skewers were flavorful and juicy, the fried rice was not greasy at all and the soup was very comforting for the cold night. We only had great comments of this place and totally recommend trying it out ! read more

My boyfriend and I came around 9pm on a Saturday for a second dinner . We were seated right away and there was plenty of parking. Food also came out within 20 minutes of ordering! The sausage fried rice was DELICIOUS. It was flavorful and filling without being too salty. The bits of sweet taiwanese sausage and buttery rice was just right. The lamb skewer was definitely our favorite, especially with the cumin spice they have at each table. It was juicy and had just the right amount of char. The bacon wrapped enoki was a close second, because how could anything with bacon be bad LOL. The chicken cartilage was something we just wanted to try but probably will not be ordering again because of the crunchy texture. The corn skewer was sweet and buttery, but nothing especially unique. The overall atmosphere of the interior was a fun interpretation of outdoor dining in Asia. Overall, we spent $42 total including a 16oz Sapporo for two people. Definitely will be coming back to try their soju cocktails as well! read more

February 2023 - Party of 3, friday around 6pm. No wait! Food/Pricing: Beef skewer ($2.75 each pc) and Pork Belly skewer ($2.95 each pc) - I feel the meat quality could be better for both and it's a bit too salty. Tasty but too salty. Wagyu skewer ($8.50 each pc) - Expensive but very tender and tasty! Cheese Corn ($8.50) - The corn was so sweet and crunchy! I really enjoyed this dish. Kumquat and Passionfruit Soju pitcher ($27.50) - Don't know how much alcohol is in it but it was very refreshing! Highly recommend! Service/Ambiance - The staff was friendly and attentive! Great service. Parking - Plenty of parking in the plaza. They're located near a supermarket. read more

The Barn - Receipt for Feb 2023 - Barbeque Near Me - Arcadia, California

It wouldn't be my first choice to come here but I wouldn't mind too much. It's a good place to go with multiple people as service is super slow. I feel like people just go to drink and spend time with friends and not actually for food. It's overpriced for the quality and service. I came in close to 10:30 and we were seated right away. Food takes like 20-30 minutes. We ordered the corn cheese, a pork belly skewer, and a beef noodle soup. Everything was okay. The pork skewer was better than everything else but they are known for their skewers so that's why I guess. Corn cheese was whatever. I rather go somewhere else for it but it satisfies the craving. Overall, not bad but not great either. read more

The Barn in Arcadia is a super chill spot filled with good food, drinks, and a simple ordering system! You order through your phone when you scan the menu at your table and from there the server will bring over your drinks and food as it comes out! Besides the fries, spicy tofu and enoki, cucumber salad, beef tongue, and sausage fried rice I highly recommend their grilled chicken, grilled Wagyu, and grilled chicken skins!!! Food here is so good you could eat and eat and drink and hang out with your friends for a long time! read more

My boyfriend took me here for a late dinner. He went here previously with friends and took me here since he had a great time. He swore I'd like it and I honestly loved it! The prices are on the more expensive end but very well worth the flavors, quality of ingredients, and the time put in to perfect them. I fell in love with the Cucumber Salad from the start. Coming from someone who makes Asian cucumber salad a lot at home, The Barn perfects this dish. It's something so simple but made so well! In fact, I tried to taste the sauce by itself to see if I replicate it at home. Just plainly simply delicious! Definitely order this to cleanse your palette a little with all the barbeque you'll be ordering. Another noteworthy item was the Japanese Sausage, Fried Chicken, Beef Kebobs, and Lamb Kebob Skewers. My boyfriend pointed out I would love Japanese Sausage since I'm a big fan of Taiwanese Sausage. It was indeed delicious, juicy, and oh-so flavorful. The Beef and Lamb Kebob Skewers were seasoned and marinated very well. I had kebobs just a few days ago and it did not taste like how they make it here! Definitely a must-try. The Fried Chicken dish blew me away too - even the salad on the side! The perfect bite of this is with a little salad, piece of chicken, then dipped in the sauce. Absolutely in love! Definitely give The Barn a try even at a late hour since they are open till 12 AM! I will definitely be back - see you there! read more

Delicious late night, small bites, snacks, and eats. Great place to get a drink and have something to munch on as well. We got here pretty late on a Saturday night, but we were seated immediately after they cleared out a booth table for us. There was a hiccup with our order for a yogurt soju slush, mixing it up with just a regular yogurt slush. We drank around 1/4-1/3 of it already and to remedy this, our server just added extra soju on top, making this drink super alcohol intense. As a non drinker, I can't tell if this was a W or L for us. We got the: 1) Lamb Skewers (2 skewers): -A bit pricey for 2 skewers, but as far as lamb skewers go, it tasted really good. -Slightly smoky, nicely sized bits of tender lamb meat. Cannot go wrong with ordering this. -Our table also had chili powder and cumin available and this went perfect with the skewers. -Would get this again. 2) Spicy Fries: -MASSIVE amount of spicy fries given when you order this, so I didn't feel guilty about ordering something kinda "stupid" at a sit down restaurant like this. -The fries were seasoned evenly and had a nice kick to them. 3) Fried gobo: -I have never had fried burdock root before and I am so glad that I have now! -You get a huge, generous amount of fried gobo. -It's super thinly sliced, nicely seasoned with some spicy powder and salty, and delicately crispy. -I found myself reaching for small handfuls of fried gobo throughout our entire meal, munching on them. -Super addicting. They were almost like chips and if I had a tub of this while marathoning something, I can guarantee that I would finish all of it easily. -Another 4) Chong Qing Noodles with Chili Oil: 5) Pork Feet: 6) Norway Saba Filet: 7) Quail Egg Skewers (2 skewers): Really liked that some of the dishes had wax paper underneath to absorb the oil and already came in a disposable container, so all they had to do was give us the lid so we can take the rest of our food to go. For sure a place that I will return to ! read more

Living in SGV, I can appreciate that there is a kebab place such as The Barn in the area. I've been to the barn a few times. From my most recent, I had a very enjoyable experience. I visited the restaurant during the weekday in a party of 2. I was fortunate to be seated right away, although the restaurant was pretty much full. Inside, other than a couple of group tables at the front, the rest of the restaurant's seating are table booths along a wall. I was seated at the table booth in front of the kitchen window. (Probably the best seat in the house. Aka the quickest table to get their food~) Food was good. I enjoyed the beef selection and the shitake. The person that I was with vouches for the chicken skin. What was a bit of a disappointment was the chicken. The skewers were good while hot, but became pretty dry once they cooled down. The meal for two ended up around $90 buckaroos. Customer service was great too. I would call this an SGV gem. read more

We love the Barn, especially for their spicier menu items, for dinner and drinks. We gravitate towards their skewers (meats and veggies), and their fried intestines, but we definitely make it a point to pair it with their beer and soju options. It's typically super chill, but can get a bit busier later on in the night. Perfect to unwind. read more

What a fall from grace. I used to love coming to the barn early on the weekends and grabbing their tapa style shareable plates. I especially really liked their dry spicy intestine. Most recent visit, their intestine was so overcooked and dry, I could have easily sent it back but felt bad. There were times the entire dining section didn't even have 1 server. We were looking to close out and I got up and walked around the entire area and couldn't find anyone. It felt so barren and we had to poke our head into the kitchen window to ask someone on the line if they could bring out a waiter. read more

Great place for a date. They have these little booths so it feels very private and the you order food on your phone. The drinks are fun and yummy and the food is good too. It was quaint little place and the service is great too read more

I have to say I really, really liked this place. Located in a large strip mall, there is tons of parking. Usually, there doesn't seem to be too bad of a wait, however, one Saturday night they did have a rush and the wait was 30 minutes, so you might want to call ahead to assess the situation. The place is small, and when I went on a weekday there was only one server. He was enough to handle the small amount of tables, but he could probably use help, as in one more server. Then again, we have all heard how hard it is to find workers nowadays, so I gather they're doing as good as they can. The food itself is mainly skewers with some small dishes, fried rices, and stir fried noodles. Everything I had was delicious. I got the cheese corn, which was enough for two. We also got the stir fried chicken wiz chilis. This looks like the standard szechuan chongqing chicken recipe, but it's not. It doesn't have that strong szechuan peppercorn flavor. For me, this version is better. I could eat it all day. As for skewers, got chicken breast, beef, chicken breast wiz cheese, shrimp, and corn. I asked for the meat to be done with teriyaki sauce. Instead, they brought it over simply grilled and plain, with teriyaki sauce on the side. It was fine this way. Everything was terrific. I wasn't sure how chicken breast with cheese and teriyaki would play out, but it was very good. I can honestly say I will be back soon and look forward to trying more of their dishes. I'm so happy to find a new yakitori place, since the Backhouse at Santa Anita closed during Covid. Definitely recommend. Just go! Update: Second visit was slightly less successful. Most everything, including service, was still excellent except for the beef skewers. They were super terrible, unchewable chunks of fat and gristle. If you go, I suggest ordering 1 beef skewer and trying it for quality before ordering more beef. Everything else was still top notch. read more

I've been here quite a few times for an evening/late-night cravings meal. This is the perfect spot to come if you and some friends are looking for a good meat skewers/drinks spot. It was my first time having skewers and I was pleasantly surprised and got hooked right away! My favorites have to be the quail egg and fish tofu skewers. The quail eggs have a slight marinade and the fish tofu has a great seasoning and kick of spice. The cucumbers have an interesting flavour with slight spice and a bit of mala seasoning it seems. The malatang was a great way to warm up and get a bit of everything since the toppings are plenty. Malatang includes spam, vermicelli, mushrooms, bok choy, etc. The meats and spicy entrees pair well with a bottle of soju. My group opts for the strawberry flavor. Everything combined tastes awesome and is a great choice for a satisfying meal. The ambiance is very warm and social. Many people come in groups of 2-6 and there are quite enough seats/tables despite the small building size. This place is open till 11 PM most days, so it's great if your friend group is searching for a good place open late. The waiters are always kind and attentive and are able to speak both English and Mandarin. Overall, this is a great place to come and it has become one of my favourite spots to drink and socialize with friends while having some great food. I'd recommend it to anyone in the area! read more
