Clients Reviews

Best lamb skewers and Chinese food for beer! Never disappointed. Trust the staffs. They always offer tasty food. ================================ Since 2024, the place has been run by a new owner, and it’s been renovated and become much cleaner. The food is still as delicious as ever. You absolutely have to try the lamb skewers, mashed cucumbers (拍黃瓜, paihuanggua), and sweet & sour pork (锅包肉, Guōbāoròu). Spicy stir fried scallops were amazing also!!

Great place for skewers. The beef is very tender and soft. Very tasty. Chicken was juicy. Love the concept of cooking it yourself. Especially for the beef. You can have it the way you want it. Also got a spicy pork dish that was very good. Everything is in chinese but the staff does speak english. It seems there's 2 entrances to this place. We went down towards the basement which seems to be where the grilling tables are. The upstairs is where they serve you only cooked food. Overall I would come back. The rice was different and perfect pairing with the meats.

Love the taste of food What’s could be better is to put the seasonings in the BBQ for the customers

Bruce B.

The food is incredible!! Came with a party of 12 and enjoyed the cold skin noodles, fried pork, dumplings, aubergines, and many other dishes. Be aware that you might need to push a button to get the waitstaff attention as they don’t do periodic checkins’
