The environment is antique and cool. I think it could be like a skewer bar but it’s lack of kitchen view. They just had loud music. The food is kind of salty and dry. There wasn’t many interactions between the staff and us. (They did come when we ask for help though)They use disposable places and one time cup for us too. It felt a little weird to do that in a restaurant ?

Felt this place went downhill, this time I wasn't as satisfied. We order the tinfoil enoki mushroom but they give you hella little , like just one layer. This was probably one of the best tasting thing we ordered, loved the garlic sauce. They were out of the xl oyster so we ordered the big size one. They lacked in flavor and had very little minced garlic sauce. Chives were also tasty. The lamb however was packed with seasoning but it didn't really work, it need some salt to bring out the flavor. As a dessert I order the rice cakes, they were dried as hell on the outside and didn't taste the fresh. Also the thousand year old egg is a little bit over priced for just chopped pieces of eggs with some sauce and garnish, would be nice to have some tofu with it.

Mid food but they charge credit card fee for almost $200 dinner? Mandatory 18% tips for 4 people or more but there is zero service. Food was mediocre if not bad. I can’t believe people would recommend this place. Really tempted to not pay at all for how bad it was

It was a really small place with a couple of tables but I had a good time. Even though I felt like our mouths never stopped moving they gave us two more kebabs because they were swamped and the food didn't came out as quickly as usual.
I've been a customer of this restaurant since 2018, but I've noticed a decline in quality since the pandemic. And on one occasion, I encountered an unexpected "mandatory tip" charge on the receipt. Customers were then given the option to add an additional tip on top of that. This experience was quite off-putting, as it felt like an unfaithful practice which turned me off after that visit.

Ordered though DoorDash and the oyster was rotten. It was covered up in sauce so I couldn't tell at first but when I put it in my mouth the taste was so disgusting that I immediately spit it out.

Delicious skewers place! Personally loved the beef, chives and mushroom skewers the most. Very flavorful food but a little pricey (things add up fast!) Both the male and female severs were friendly. There is a 2% credit card surge charge but they take Venmo if you don’t have cash.

I absolute love eating skewers and when I found out about this place I knew that I had to go. Unfortunately, it took a long time before I was able to find a chance to come but I was not disappointed at all. It's a small place and when I went it wasn't too crowded given that it was a Tuesday night. The skewers there are made quite well without it being burnt but having a crispy exterior while retaining juicieness inside. My favorites were definitely the lamb skewers, beef tripe, chicken skin, gristle, gizzard, and wings. Drinks are a bit pricy here so that is something to consider but definitely a good place to hang with friends over some skewers and drinks

Love the skewers from here. The meat is fresh and juicy. Skewers portion are plenty and tasty, and love their seasoning. Noodles dishes and other appetizers dishes are delicious as well! Good vibes, and delicious food. 10/10 would recommend the place.
Yuki was so amazing, she was super attentive and really nice. The food was soooooo good and authentic ? the best dumpling soup I’ve had

First experience: 3/5 for me, 4/5 for the bf.Second experience: 1/5 for me, 0/5 for the bf.The first time we came here was alright. We decided to come back a second time only because it was late and close-by amongst the limited options. Not amazing or anything but will satisfy your cravings for grilled meat. Everything tastes the same exact flavor of overpowering seasonings in my opinion. My boyfriend loves meat skewers and those flavors though so he was looking forward to eating. We came in and there was an empty table so the worker told us we could sit. Then a couple behind us came in so she asked if we could switch with them. So we got up kinda confused, but I assumed they had more people coming (they ended up being a party of 6). We stood and waited until another table cleared.. and it literally was for the same amount of people but we sat there after as a party of only 2. We ordered our first round but each item came out soooo slow one by one. While that table behind us received all their food so fast.. and they ordered A LOT compared to us. We literally didn't get our few meat skewers til over an hour in. By then my boyfriend was exponentially more hangry than ever, and I was not having the whole situation. I looked around and we weren't the only ones that noticed and were visibly upset. Another guy was consoling his girl rubbing her back while she looked miserable waiting for her few sticks of food. After we finally got our meat skewers, it had taken forever and we were hesitant of putting in another order. We asked how long it would take it we ordered more meat, she said 30-45 minutes... so how did that other party get all their copious amounts of food back to back in so much less that amount of time? They came after us, and had finished eating all their food before we got our skewers.I am super understanding of them seeming understaff - only one girl working the floor and who knows about the kitchen - but it's not cool leaving all the rest of your customers waiting and hungry. I feel bad for her, she's doing it all. A better system should be set in place, especially with the food coming out to all the customers. I felt like the service was super biased.We left unsatisfied and still hungry after all that time in there.

Solid spot for bbq skewers, you know it's legit when they only take cash or venmo. You order off your phone which is pretty convenient, and prices aren't bad at all!Came here for a late night snack on a Monday night and there was plenty of seating, not sure if that changes depending on day or time.Lamb skewers are my go-to choice anywhere, and this place definitely satisfied that craving. Like all skewers, make sure to eat them while they're hot. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

This place was recommended to me because I really was craving skewers. This restaurant is small and somewhat tucked away but has a really good positive energy.Food is ordered from the qr code on the table and they offer a wide selection of food at a more affordable rate than an sf izakaya which was a must for me. My table got a lot of chicken skin, gizzards, hearts, bacon wrapped enoki, fried chicken, a choy, chives, beef, and lamb. The only downside is that it seems almost like the seasoning is the same for all of their grilled items. Probably a mix of chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.Service is short staffed but really fast and attentive. The atmosphere is very casual and meant for hanging out with friends. Overall I was impressed and would recommend coming here for skewers especially if you have been craving it.
