Best Chinese style bbq in Bay Area. The north Korean style cold noodle is amazing - something you can’t really find in most Korean restaurants in the U.S. this our go to spot for late night cravings. Good value too for Bay Area. Family style service.

This place is delicious. The ambiance and restaurant name can be improved but the food is phenomenal and the skewers are affordable.

It looks like they are temporarily closed till August. Looking forward to them opening again.

We arrived in the USA late and hungry, so we ordered some BBQ and a few dishes — surprisingly, everything was delicious! The owner was very friendly, and we had a great time dining there.

We tried chicken and lamb kebab sticks here and both of them were truly amazing. The sitting area did not seem much fancy but we went for take out anyway. But the food was really worth 5 stars.

We just ordered some food from here and I was a bit skeptical at first, but the wonton soup was amazing!! Perfect, clear broth that wasn’t too salty but amazing taste. We also had the chicken frames and they were very tasty! Last, we had fried rice and I appreciated that it wasn’t overwhelmingly salty. I think the atmosphere could be a bit brighter—but overall the owner was friendly when I picked up my food and I think the most important thing is that the food tastes good. It definitely deserves higher ratings. Please give this place a chance.

The best get together Chinese BBQ around the neighborhood!!!!!!! It is always my first choice when we are craving for some good food afterword. The sweet sour pork is a must order dish! We also tried the candid sweet potato is fancy, worth to try.

I has been going to this place for fours years. It is my go-to place every time I had a night flight landing in SFO. The Fried Pork in Scoop 锅包肉 is one of the best ones that I had in the Bay Area. That’s a surprise.

very good Chinese BBQ. Delicious. Taste way better than other BBQ places in the bay. Please ignore the bad reviews(most are competitors trolling). If you like authentic Chinese BBQ, you will like this place.
