Compared to Yangji... automated bbq, also booth, almost room-like seating.
10 min for lamb skewers and beef. Very edible though. Wasn't as much fan of 곱창 (intestine) nor 오돌뼈 (cartlidge) but loved much else, gizzard, shrimp, chicken and more.
Cucumber salad and corn noodle also well-recommended and deservingly.
Their most basic/signature lamb skewers is the way to go. If you love the gamey flavor of lamb, go for the original lamb skewer (the pieces are larger). Other favorites to order here is the mala dry pot or mala brisket. Many reviews seemed to recommend the fried rice, so I tried it once and it's nothing special. Sorta dry and no flavor.
Food tastes very authentic. Portion is ok since each skewer is pretty cheap. Order 20-30 small skewers would be enough for one person. There are bigger sized lamb and beef skewers available as well for $3.5 or $4.5 each skewer. Also if you don’t want to cook the food your self. You can ask them to cook for you and bring it to the table.

Xiao Chuan Dian Mini Lamb Skewers House is a restaurant that offers a suitable atmosphere for gathering with friends, particularly with advance reservations, especially during peak times and weekends. The restaurant provides a clean and comfortable environment. While the beef and lamb skewers are delicious, the beef skewers are a bit small, and the lamb skewers could use more meat. The service requires improvement as customers need to actively seek servers for orders, drinks, and other necessities. The restaurant allows customers to bring their own beverages, and the lamb skewers cost $1.10 per stick, with a minimum order of 10 sticks. Other menu items, such as bigger beef and baby cow skewers, range from $3-4.50 per stick. Parking is available on the street or in the parking lot across the street.
Customers appreciate the auto-turning grill, but some feel the skewers are half-cooked in the back kitchen and finished off on the table, which affects the taste. The environment is described as retro but comfortable, with booths or private rooms, making it suitable for friend gatherings. The restaurant is BYOB. Customers recommend coming in pairs or small groups of 3 to fully experience the skewer offerings, as there are caps on the number of pieces that can be ordered for certain cuts. The owner is described as kind and willing to explain the menu, although some customers wished this information was more transparent upfront. Overall, the food is considered delicious, with the deep-fried red chili and pork dish being a particular highlight, despite some dishes being on the salty side.
