Great place for Chinese BBQ skewers. All food is made to order, so expect to wait for any food you get. However the wait is worth it! Friendly family owned and operated establishment. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Was different, Chinese style bbq. Had different style of skewers and lamb dumplings were delish. We shared lamb noodle soup which also so good. And the Tangtsao beer is so good!

Food is great, prices are very fair, especially the pitchers of beer. What they need to improve here is the ambiance, then it would be 5 Stars all the way!

Me and my wife stopped by here for dinner. Plenty of different choices on the menu. I was certainly surprised how good the pork dumplings were. We tried a number of different skewers. All the barbecue is well seasoned, loved it!
