★★★★★ 5.0 Cheyenne · Feb 2026

Food is really good and the servers are super friendly and helpful. If you sit at the bar, you can even chat with the bartender, which makes the whole experience more fun. I also love that someone helps grill the skewers for you. Even though it’s a BBQ place, the cocktails are surprisingly great. It’s such a comfortable spot to hang out with friends, have some drinks, and just enjoy the night. Definitely a place I would bring my friends to.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lily · Dec 2025

This place was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Dining on the low stools was such a unique and fun experience—it really made the meal feel special and different from any other skewer place I’ve been to. The food was outstanding. Every skewer was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. There was surprisingly no smoke at all, so you could fully enjoy the meal. And on top of all that, the staff were unbelievably friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food, a fun setup, and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jan Voo · Feb 2026

Fun place to grab a snack and enjoy some self grilling.. We arrive after 10pm after a show and waited about 15 minutes. It gets busy during the late hours. All the staffs are friendly and helpful to make sure you know how to cook your food. The skewers are nicely flavored. With Membership it will bring each skewer at $1.. Recommended to try at least once…

★★★☆☆ 3.0 A Miruru · Feb 2026

The service here was almost non-existent. It was our first time and no one gave us any instructions when we sat down. We figured everything out ourselves, poured our own water, ordered our own food on iPad, but still had to pay tips in the end. Tipping culture in US at its finest. The dishes and drinks you can order all run on the expensive side ($8 for a cup of juice. Really????). They knew you would want to drink something while eating the skewers, so they really took your advantage on that. The cooked dishes were also underwhelming. The seats are also very uncomfortable as they are all very low for some reason. After sitting for a while, your legs would be numb, unless you have height of a kid. The only good thing here are the skewers. The choices are wide. But the tastes do

★★★★★ 5.0 Zia Williams · Mar 2026

Yum. Yum. YUMMMM. SO AFFORDABLE. SO DELICIOUS. Less than $2/skewer The staff are really fun and know their audience. Food has a great variety and it’s such a fun activity. If you go on your birthday you’ll probably get a free drink. Actually the drinks get CHEAPER as the night goes on… which sounds like a recipe for trouble, but they really have it figured out. The bathroom is equipped with sealable bags for any turning tummy’s from too many soju bombs, and the staff keep it SPARKLING clean in there. The wait can be long depend on the day and time, but there’s a bar across the street that’s nice to wait at while you’re on the waitlist.
