Xiao Chuan Dian Mini Lamb Skewers House

I like the auto turning griller, but they half cooked the skewers in the back kitchen and finish off grilling on the table. I felt it doesn’t taste as good compares to grilling from raw. Meat pieces are small. Environment are retro but comfortable booths or private rooms. Good for friend gathering. BYOB.

Was here 3 weeks ago with 4 girlfriends. The food we ordered were delicious and loved that the skewers rotated itself once they were placed.

If you are plan on eating a lot of skewers (particularly lamb) I suggest coming in pairs or small group of 3. While the menu states there's a minimum piece order, it doesn't tell you, you are also capped at a certain amount of pieces when you order certain cuts (i believe it was lamb and beef?)

There was one dish in particular I loved and still think about - I don't remember the name but it was deep fried red chili and pork. It was so goooood! The owner was kind and explained when we asked why buy it would've just been nice to know at the very beginning or see it on the menu for full transparency because it caught us all off guard.

All in all, I would definitely go back and cap it to 3 people max so we can have the full skewer experience.

This is my go-to place to take out on the weekends! They don’t do take outs for skewers which is totally understandable because you would cook them yourself when dining in. The food is good, although some people said it was on the salty side for some dishes. But overall, tasty food and great portions.

Food here is pretty good but the service is absolutely trash. No English menu and server just has a bad attitude, especially if you can’t speak Korean or Chinese.

I won't be going here again. I live in Manhattan, and ever since I didn't have an automatic lamb skewer machine, I've been going to New Jersey every time I go to New Jersey, telling people around me how delicious it is. But today something completely absurd happened. I made a reservation for 5:30, and I thought I would be a little late, so I thought I would arrive about 10 minutes ago, around 5:50. I'm sorry. I called, but there was already no response... Still, isn’t it better than no-showing? Since I tend to eat quickly, I arrived at 5:50, ordered the menu I always ordered, and had to leave at 7:00, so I ate it in a hurry. At 6:10, my child ate it so well that I said they would only add 10 lamb skewers to the standard menu, but they said they would not come out before 7:00 due to a backlog of orders. But I just had the feeling that they wouldn't give us an extra meal at 7:00 for fear that we wouldn't be able to vacate our seats. I requested one more time, but the owner said no, but I was told that there was a backlog of orders. As soon as the new team sitting next to me came in around 6:30, they came out at around 6:40. We almost finished eating around 6:40 and asked to check in at 6:50. Even though I could have no-showed, it was still an appointment, so I worked hard to make it to 7 o'clock.
While I was eating, I lied and refused to order an extra meal at 6:10 because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to vacate my seat at 7:00, and I felt really bad. Do you want to do that while running a food business? In the end, my child ate it with some regret. I was annoyed because everyone from the owner to the lady working there was yelling at me and they were very arrogant when taking reservations, but as expected, they just wrote other reviews.
There are also things like rip-offs and such. There are a lot of other restaurants in New Jersey, so I'll try a new one in the future.

Oh, and I asked to go and pack the leftover food and asked for a box so I could pack it myself, but the lady insisted and said she would pack it herself, but when I got home, all the seasoning and soup had leaked. Hey

Definitely could be improved. The skewers were too sweet, I don’t know why they slathered that much sweet sauce onto the raw meat. Noodles were a bit overcooked too.

It tasted terrible and the service attitude was poor. We were seated in a seat without an oven. The chicken hearts we ordered came out very hard to bite, and the clerk insisted that it was not the fault of their grilling. Never again. Except for the mutton, everything else tastes terrible, especially the sauce.
