Beware! Tricksters they show one price on menu but they would sneakily charge up a few dollars each item on the final bill.

Pls don’t waste an hour of your day here. No one greeted us at the door. We sat ourselves down. Our table wasn’t prepped. We ordered at 8:35 and the food didn’t come out yet. It’s 9:32. I swear they are cooking their food on a candle. But even a candle wouldn’t take this long. Go to Little Skewer for fast food, great atmosphere and an extensive menu. This place need to step up their game. Our group is never coming here again. I are taking our food to go insteadAfter we asked the server to check on our food. She never came to our table to do a follow upLOL omg the lady came to us and said “oh you didn’t leave a tip on the bill”I said it took 1 hour to make the food.She said “oh we make it fresh”That’s totally nonsense. We used to eat here all the time. It would take at the most 20-30 minutes for the squid. So what’s the deal today taking 60Minutes? Is she taking 45 minutes just to dump seasoning?My friend walked out with me and asked if it’s mandatory to give tips now in California. No. No it’s not.We gave them a couple bucks and left.Literally 1 hour of lives. We are never getting back. AND they asked for a tip. So sooooooooo crazy.

I came here 4 times and the food is good but I will not be coming back because of their service. Our food took more than an hour to be served while everyone else including those that came after eating already. Because of time constraint, we changed our dine in order to take out after being there for 40min already. We had paid for our meal before the order was brought out in order leave quickly. After we got our items and was getting up to leave, their employee stoped us for a tip . Just saying, probably won’t ever be seeing us back again.

The food here is yummy but the service and how long we have to wait for the food to come out is insanely long. If you don't have an hour to wait for your food to be served, don't consider coming! We really have waited for our order for a little more than an hour where we had to change it to take out in order to make it to our plans afterwards. By 30min, I asked one of the employee to check up on our order. She just said it usually takes really long but never gave us a follow up. After being there for 40min, I asked for the order to be changed to take out. When we got our order after more than an hour, she stoped us snd told us we haven't tipped yet. Even if the food was made fresh, it wouldn't take a whole hour to make :(

Love coming here for skewers. Drink selection is good. Servers are always nice and sweet. My favorite is the chicken cartilage. Love the patio spacious.

Small spot with outdoor seating, food is good, it's like a Chinese bbq shish kabob kinda thing. Most of the food comes out on sticks. Pricing is fair. Everything is made to order.I'm giving it 5 stars for the service and also that they NEVER close. I mean they were open on Thanksgiving and it was hella packed. Not only that, they have something on the menu that is ... if you can see my photo.Vegetarian options: They have a good selection of vegetarian dishes only especially the mushrooms, mmmmm mushrooms.Parking: They have about seven parking spaces in the back but you can find street parkingWheelchair accessibility: Roll right in yourself

Decided to check out the this spot after passing by many times, and was really mediocre. The menu is pricey for the portion and quality that you get. They do have some unique items, but not something worth coming for. There are definitely better skewer spots nearby for the same price such as T-Kebob, which I enjoy going to. Some of the standouts would be the eggplant and the cheesy corn, which were both good. The undercooked beef was also unique and very tender as it is cooked rare. Other than those items, the lamb and beef skewers were quite small and didn't taste anything special. They also didn't have the cumin and chili powders that most skewer places would have. The bill came out to be over $100 for the 3 of us and we weren't even full. They do give you a free Thai soy milk tea after you pay though. Overall, a rather lacking skewer spot for the higher price, small portion, and mediocre taste. I would recommend T-Kebob for good meat skewers and Little Skewers for their side dishes which are both skewer restaurants nearby.

Food is decent, will give them 3/5 stars. The portion is truly kinda small. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef lean (10/order), lamb, chicken skin, wings, corn kernel, mushroom, potato slices, and etc. The beef lean is really small for each skewer. They serve food slow comparing to other skewer places. We need to wait most of the time for our food to come out after we finished one kind. The mushroom is kinda burn (not recommended). For the service, will just worth 2 stars. We went there around 7:30pm, they have two waitresses, not attentive enough when we ask for service. They seems like in low energy and not want to serve their customers or maybe just our table?! There's one girl I raised my hand to catch her attention cuz I want to add more stuff, she saw me but didn't come to me (she thought I was waving at the female customer just coming in) after the customer is going to other table, she didn't walk up to me, but looked around instead and walked to other table. I say thank you every time they serve the food, but I feel like they not worth my thank you because I don't feel welcomed when I was dining in there.
