“Ai Grill's charm is definitely the automatically rotating skewer system and the binchotan charcoal that they bring out just for your table once you place your order. Paired with the neon lights and stylish interior, a bbq dinner here definitely felt tasted like a premium experience while still supporting a local mom and pop restaurant. My friend and I had a great time here ordering via the ala carte skewers, wagyu fried rice, and a sweet potato fries side. The skewers were packed with smoky umami with our favorites being the lamb, US prime beef, and pork jowl. The sweet potato fries were also so light and crispy that we couldn't help but grab more - we finished this at lightning speed.Our server was so sweet and attentive, giving us detailed instructions on the best cooking time/sauce pairing for each meat, checking in several times with water, and offering free watermelon and coupons to finish off the meal. Overall this was a super satisfying dinner for both food and service quality. Just one minor critique I have is that Ai Grill's price point positions this to be a "once in a while" dinner rather than an easy splurge, despite skewers being a street food genre. I tend to think of beef and lamb skewers as the showstealers when it comes to Chinese bbq, but beef skewers starting at ~$7 here brings some hesitation to go big with the first skewer order. I genuinely hope that Ai Grill keeps growing their customer base since their weekend service still had space to fill when we went (granted we went right at opening time).“
“Wonderful food especially the stir fried beef dishes! The drawback is the service time which takes over 30 mins for our meal to come. Ambiance and atmosphere are noisy and loud like any other dim sum restaurant on a weekday evening. Great food if you wish to wait for over half an hour to be served.Kid-friendliness: Parking is a challenge but if you go early you can find a spot on the streets.“
“We came to Earl Spicy to celebrate Lunar New Year 2024. Our friends have been several times and suggested it for our Lunar New Year celebration. Everything we ordered was delicious! The spicy crab was so unique. Sichuan at its' best! I am Asian and this might tbe the best crab I've ever had! The fish was also so delicious. Savory, spicy and just perfection. We had lamb with noodles which were expertly prepared. The noodles were cooked to the ideal peak. The owner is very sweet and came to our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal and to bring us a special treat for dessert. I highly recommend, especially if you enjoy lots of delicious, spicy, yet balanced flavor.“
“Great Chinese restaurant. I really love their seafood. The fried fish was so tender, not dry at all. The beef was also equally as tender. And of course, the porridge was great. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of that, but we got Scallops & Clams Sawo Porridge and it was “
“Stroganoff. A dish done poorly all too often (Stoffer's, anyone?) but all so magical when done right. London, HK, Germany and Poland, all places I've had it at varying levels but few as memorable as the one here at Sixteen. As a fellow participant in the restaurant business, these guys make a mean steak and a noodle dish that's easily unrivaled by any location in the area. Grab the keys to the Imperial, come to Sixteen and have a few old fashions with the stroganoff. Decadence at the highest levels await!“
“Unpopular opinion..... this is better than koi palace and this is coming from someone who grew up eating koi palace at least once a month Every single dish was cooked to perfection! The salted egg yolk crab was the best thing I ever ate. I'm definitely coming back for family dinners and celebrations!“
“The food here is really, really good. I came here to eat out with a friend of mine and ordered the house garlic noodles, Dungeness crab, and imperial rolls. I can't say much about the service since they gave me and my friend lots of time to catch up, so depending on what you expect, it's pretty good. That's why I gave service 4 stars. Good, but not exactly outstanding. The atmosphere is really nice. I would personally sit on a patio if it's offered, but that's completely your choice.“
