Great bbq, both the Chinese and Japanese style skewers are great. The staple dishes like the fried rice and udon were also very good and fresh. They also have some unique drinks from China worth a try.

There's a reason this place is highly reviewed - it's fantastic dining here! The food is scrumptious. Everything was soooo tasty, it was not easy picking a favorite. Service was great. Staff were efficient and attentive. Atmosphere was chill - decor was nice and it didn't feel chaotic in there. I can see parking being a challenge but we were there during non-peak meal hours and found a spot nearby.

I came here for a birthday with a party of 7 people. The food is a bit pricey (total bill around 350$) but I think the food was yummy. I mainly had food from the seafood side and others enjoyed a variety of selections. I personally really enjoyed the shrimp skewers they had, they were a great size and very juicy! I also really liked their tofu and corn. Some foods I think were just okay were the miso soup, shrimp fried rice, and the squid. The scallion portion sizes were rather small for what you're paying. In terms of the the other skewers, I heard the meatballs, pork, lychee bacon, and beef chow mein were excellent. For the service and atmosphere: the service was good, they tended to my party, made sure we had space cleared which prevented clutter, and the food came out quickly. There were some kids running around, playing near our table, and watching us eat. It was fine at first but they became a bit disruptive and were in the way when our food was brought in sometimes. We were in a room in the back and so we asked if it's possible to shut the door but the waiter told us it wouldn't be optimal for bringing in food which is understandable.

Managed to get a last-minute reservation and felt quite lucky! The restaurant even followed up to confirm our arrival. The service was excellent—they even poured the sake for us. I loved the heated tray on the table that kept our skewers warm; it’s such a thoughtful touch. The menu has plenty of options, and though the place is small, it feels very cozy and atmospheric. The upside-down umbrellas hanging from the ceiling are a unique touch. One thing to note: it’s quite dim inside, so it’s a bit hard to take photos. If you're taking a group shot, watch out for blurriness!
