I hate to be the first non five stars reviewer. I went there with my family today at around 3:30 pm. We were the only group since they just opened at 3. The atmosphere was good. The servers were very warm and nice. The order process was smooth on a tablet. We could add anything anytime we wanted as the tablet stayed on our table all the time.We ordered two types of lamb skewer, the beef skewer, 牛筋, 黄喉, 望京小腰, 韭菜, 四季豆, 茄子, 猪蹄, 鸡架, 烤鸡皮. Lamb and beef were ok, I would rate 8/10, as they were not bad nor exceptional. The flavor for these lamb and beef skewers were quite authentic. I feel the meat itself could be more juicer to make it 10/10. 牛筋 (10/10) was my favorite here as it tasted great for me, a bit Korean style. 黄喉 (6/10) flavor was fine. The cut could be improved. They cut them looked like fish tofu. I think it better to make every cut of them smaller, maybe around a third of the current size. 望京小腰 (4/10) was bad. They failed to remove the 内脏味 for the meat and the strong spices were not enough to cover them. Not sure if they need to 泡血水 for longer or marinated them longer with more spices to remove the unpleasant taste. 韭菜 (7/10), ok but a bit salty. 四季豆 (8/10), ok but a bit salty. 茄子(7/10), ok but too much garlic. 猪蹄 (3/10), same issue as 望京小腰, the inner meat tasted very unpleasant. 非常腥! Addition processings are needed. 鸡架 (8/10), too little meat. I know it is 鸡架 but it should have a bit more meat. 烤鸡皮 (6/10), 有腥味, again, additional process are needed to remove the unpleasant smell.I want to say it again that the servers and atmosphere were good.I would say this is an ok 烧烤店 if you really crave for it. Not something worth try if you expect it for high standard.Btw, I got a bit diarrhea after eating here. I think the problem is caused by the pork feet or 望京小腰.

The energy was good, very friendly staff, amazing food, spent about $60 on just two people and we were satisfied. Lots of night-core music which was alright, I think the staff got a good laugh watching a couple white dudes using chopsticks, yes we noticed, maybe don't stare so much next time.. overall 8/10

Great taste. I ordered from uber eat so the food get cold faster. I will definitely visit the place someday. If you like Chinese kabob, this is the place to try out. They have variety of meat and vegetables to choose. Their sweet and sour soup is good for cold day.

Not a bad location. Ordering through the QR Code was easy enough. Food came out relatively fast. The order was missing a skewer (9 out of 10). Service was abysmall. The server was very rude and dismissive and was on her phone the whole time.Overall good food but pricy, and service that is very lacking.

Everything was delicious and the price was reasonable. Food came out quick and everything was flavorful. Warning the spicy rice noodle pot has a numbing spice to it. Your mouth will get numb, but it was still so good.

Great hidden place further down in Wentworth. Food was good, however a little pricier than usual Chinatown foodParking: Free parking on the side streets

Everything we had tasted amazing. The mushrooms and meat skewers were my favorites. The eggplant was very buttery and delicious. The tofu and green beans were also great. I would definitely come back.

We, a family of four, had lunch there in July. Food was really good, very authentic according to my wife who is Chinese. What we didn't like was the the service, we didn't feel welcome, the waitress showed now interest. It was a cold atmosphere.

Average taste. You probably can make better bbq at home. And overpriced. Unevenly cooked. Too much MSG.Chinatown needs more places that opens until midnight so there can be enough competitions to keep the bar high.
