little skewer 从前的小酒馆

This is the second time I gone there and it’s too terrible for the service. I recommend the food here but when I check my bill, they told me I can have a discount If I join the membership. And I totally register the membership, they told me I could not have the discount this time. So why did you told me? That makes me very mad. You just lie. I waste my time to do that. I will never came back.

To be honest, my friend's an I were not the biggest fan of the beef or pork skewers here but the vegetable skewers were to die for! The cauliflower and king oyster mushrooms were so so good!

Awesome restaurant great service!

Their service is rly nice, food service as well. They even had a performer sing throughout the night. The food isn’t overpriced either

Delicious skewers - I recommend the lamb, tteokbokki, pineapple sausage, and squid legs. Friendly and attentive staff, knowledgeable of menu items. Great place to go with medium - large groups of friends. Very clean and food overall is perfect to enjoy over drinks and conversation. Had live music the night we came here.

I hosted my birthday party here and liked that the staff was very attentive and accommodating for my large group of 12. We had a semi-private room to ourselves and they kept checking in every so often to make sure our needs were met. The food and drinks were also really good but I especially liked trying the Osmanthus Wine and Lychee Wine because they came in such pretty pouring bottles.

This is a good spot for large groups since the skewers are meant to be shared. There’s also live music at night but we left before we got to see any musicians.

I can’t remember everything we ordered but for the ones I do remember:

Osmanthus Wine 9/10
Lychee Wine 9/10
Lamb Spine Hot Pot 8/10
Pork Belly and Sauerkraut 9/10
Assorted Skewers 6/10 - A bit skinnier than I would’ve liked and the meat was tough. For a place that specializes in skewers, I expected more but it was all of their other dishes and drinks that impressed me.

The service and vibe were very good. But the food was way too sweet to our liking.

It turns out their BBQ sauce was pre-made, so the waitress said it wasn’t possible to adjust the flavor. Maybe it was okay for others but unfortunately it was a disappointment for us.

Food is eatable. But not tasty at all. Didn’t try their alcohol.

We had our gathering here and ordered a variety of dishes. Everything was quite good, the service was solid, the alcohol selection was interesting, and everyone was very satisfied with dinner that night.

Great hole in the wall. I love the prawn, corn, and squid leg skewers. The cucumber salad is a MUST and a great palate cleanser!! This and some ice cold beer?! Hits the spot. I’ve come during lunch and it was dead! I’ve also come during dinner and the wait was quick. They usually have live music during dinner.

I almost never leave one-star reviews—this might actually be the first time. Unfortunately, I truly couldn’t find a single highlight here, and the experience left me genuinely frustrated.

Let’s start with the food. The grilled snails were unpleasantly fishy. I understand the intention of making them tender, but that only works if the ingredients are fresh. These clearly were not. When seafood isn’t fresh, proper grilling requires higher heat and strong seasoning to offset it—none of that happened here, so the result was simply hard to eat.

The grilled sausage was extremely underwhelming. It tasted like a basic American sausage you can easily buy at Costco. There’s nothing wrong with American sausages—but I didn’t come here to eat something I can make at home in five minutes.

The grilled chicken skin was especially disappointing. Chicken skin is already a rich and greasy ingredient, and grilling it well actually takes skill. Instead, it was cooked into an overly hard, brittle crisp. Not only was it unpleasant to eat, but sugar was added on top, which made it even greasier and heavier. The texture was so sharp and hard that it was honestly close to hurting my lips. This dish had so much potential to be done better.

As for the other skewers—they were simply average at best, completely forgettable. If this restaurant were located in China, I honestly don’t think it would last even a month. Maybe a bit longer in Beijing… but let’s just say expectations there are different. (Sorry, Beijing.)

The drinks didn’t help either. The alcohol selection felt like bulk liquor you’d pick up at a regular liquor store—nothing special, nothing thoughtful. On top of that, the live singing performance was mediocre at best. I’m not sure what the goal was, but the quality really didn’t add anything to the atmosphere. I’ll let others judge that part for themselves.
Well, the tea pot is really heavy to lift even I lift at gym at least three times a week. Also, the pot leaks each time when I poured each time.
Overall, this place left me disappointed on every level—food, drinks, and ambiance. I truly wanted to like it, but I just couldn’t find a reason to come back.
