A great place for Chinese bbq with friends！
Authentic Chinese BBQ, great restaurant to visit if you’re in the San Jose area.
Highly recommend!!
Very authentic northeastern style Chinese barbecue, went twice already! Will bring more friends to this place.
Everything we ordered was so delicious.
- sweet and sour pork, very crispy with the right flavor
- all the skewers are definitely worth trying, super tasty and flavorful
vibe is very causal, service is good too
The only thing I would point out is that the water they serve is likely tap water with some weird smell.

Yami Bowl is a Northeastern Chinese skewer spot that has changed ownership and now serves Chinese food, not Thai. The menu features authentic Chinese BBQ and skewers done right, with dishes like salt and pepper fish, garlic eggplant, chicken chow mein, and pork katsu. Sweet and sour pork is very crispy with the right flavor, and the lamb skewers are tender, smoky, and seasoned with cumin. All the skewers are worth trying, and grilled mushroom and chicken heart are favorites. The food is described as fabulous, fresh, and cooked to perfection, with clean and not overly greasy options. The service is very friendly and welcoming, stays quick when busy, and does not crowd customers. The atmosphere is cute, fun, lively, and casual, great for groups. The restaurant offers a great deal for the Bay Area, with super reasonable prices and quality portions. A small surprise is the 12% tip option. One suggestion from a reviewer is for the owners to consider a name change, as customers often come in expecting Thai food. Overall, Yami Bowl is a hidden gem, a place customers trust and keep coming back to for tasty, clean, comforting, and reliable food.
