My family and I decided to try brochette on a whim as I'd seen it on yelp and DoorDash for a little while now. We came in and the place was clean and pretty quiet. The server got us sat right away and was friendly. We decide to share a bunch of plates including the pan seared baos, different stuffed rice balls, stuffed scallion pancakes, fried wontons, cucumber salad, purple yam chips, chicken & corn dumplings and Mongolian beef potstickers The pan seared baos and the stuffed scallion pancakes were our absolute favorites. The baos were crispy, rich and juicy. The stuffed scallion pancakes were like tacos with the flakiest and most satisfyingly chewy taco shell. The meat inside was well seasoned and tender. These two dishes in particular are going to be must orders anytime I return. The cheesy kimchi rice balls and purple yam chips were both hits at the table as well. The chips they have made and come out in no time so you can start snacking right away. The rice balls were nice and crispy on the outside than soft and gooey on the inside. They had that bright kimchi flavor. The cucumber salad was good too, the main flavor of them was cilantro so if you don't like cilantro then you should skip it. The fried wontons were standard but satisfying. They did their job. Finally the chicken and corn dumplings and the Mongolian beef dumplings were the weakest of what we ordered. They got mixed reviews from the table. Consensus was that both were pretty bland overall and didn't compare to the other dishes we enjoyed so much. As far as the food there was a lot to love and a couple dishes we'd switch out for something else next time. But we also don't go in expecting to love every dish and are happy to have gotten so many dishes that we do love. Especially those stuffed scallion pancakes, they are the biggest reason this review had to be a 5/5. Also because of the good service and peaceful environment read more

We came for late night dinner a few weekends ago after seeing this around for a few years now. Pros: Open late, with lots of seating. Decor is trying to be a nicer place than idumpling or redwood bistro. The food was good (dumplings, scallion pancakes with beef, spicy wontons, lobster skewer) but felt small for the (high) price and unnecessarily grilled? They weren't kidding when they call themselves a grill Cons: Service will take a while. They seem to be a hit on DoorDash or food delivery since there were more orders getting picked up than in-store customers. Interior seems kinda unmaintained? Not really a place to go if you're trying to impress, but also not a total barebones takeout place. The decor is nice but the chairs were mostly old and ripped. read more

Been here twice. The first time was a real disappointment. Everything was expensive and mediocre to the point where I was so 'blah' about it that I didn't even want to write a review. The second time was much better. This place is advertised as being dog-friendly, but when we arrived and saw that it was indoor seating only, we got nervous. We were surprised that we were allowed to bring our pooch in with us, though I wasn't thrilled to have her lying on the floor, since it actually seemed dirtier than if she were lying on the ground outside. I think everything inside could use a good, deep clean. We ordered quite a lot, ranging from dumplings to skewers and most things were tasty and done pretty well. The standouts were the pork belly skewers, which had the PERFECT amount of crispy char and fat, and the okra skewers. I would come back just for those skewers alone, though they're extraordinarily pricey for the amount of food you get (so maybe I won't, and I'll just go get k-bbq instead!). Sheng jian bao were good, but I think these are the frozen type. They were identical to the ones that are served at a dumpling restaurant near SF state, which I only just now realized has been rebranded to Brochette as well. They used to be better (at the place in SF) - the dough was thinner and lighter, so whichever frozen brand this restaurant group has changed over to is just... less good. We ordered the green tea cheesecake for dessert and it felt like we were robbed. It was a piece that was about an inch and a half at its widest point and had a Hershey's chocolate sauce drizzle on it. The cheesecake itself was ok, but the chocolate sauce tasted cheap and was unnecessary. It also overpowered the delicate taste of green tea. The size of the piece of cheesecake was criminal for the price. Absolutely would NOT recommend. Our waitress was so very sweet and kind, and we appreciated the excellent service. read more

Im divided. Nice ambiance. Bit pricey. Just okay good. Most likely not return. Food is relatively good but not sure about the pricing. The tofu is a whole lot smaller than you'd expect - def smaller than sushi restaurants. Coconut shrimp is standard Wonton w/chili is ok... small as well Sui Mai is interesting $9/3 instead of for 4 Black custard bao is yum Pan fried bao is yum read more

Brochette Dumpling and Grill offers a nice variety of small, mostly shareable plates ranging from appetizers, to savory pancakes, dumplings, noodle dishes, and soups. They could greatly simplify the process of selecting and ordering dishes by consolidating the 4 menus they offer patrons. My wife and I shared a seaweed salad, chicken and corn dumplings, seafood porridge, and a shrimp scallion pancake. All dishes were very good... though the pancake was very oily and not something we would eat again. Service was excellent. We ate mid-afternoon on a week day and there were plenty of parking spots and available seats. read more

If you want dumplings, go somewhere else. Maybe they're good at the "grill" aspect of their name but there are sooo many other better dumpling spots near by and around the bay that are worth your buck. Everything was overly fried to the point where it was almost burnt. Not quite, but I could tell it could get there soon. I wish I took photos, but nothing was photo worthy. However the panfried bao was good, service was nice and the ambiance was welcoming. Everything else - mid and pricey. read more

Brochette Dumpling is such a great find in Dublin if you're craving fresh, flavorful dumplings. Everything tasted really authentic and well-made. The dumplings were juicy, perfectly wrapped, and packed with flavor -- you can tell they're made fresh. The pan-fried ones had that crispy bottom while still staying soft and tender inside, which was a highlight for me. The menu has a good variety, so it's easy to try a few different options and share. Portions are satisfying without feeling too heavy. The space is casual and comfortable, and service was quick and friendly. Overall, if you're looking for a solid dumpling spot in the Bay Area, this place is definitely worth checking out -- simple, authentic, and really satisfying. read more

Brochette was great! We came here for a team lunch to celebrate a very belated holiday get-together and brought gifts with us. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't very crowded, and they kindly let us set our gifts by the counter so we had plenty of space to eat and enjoy the meal. Our server was fantastic and incredibly helpful, which made the experience even better. As for the food, I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered (which was quite a bit). The green onion pancake was my favorite and is a must-try. The dumplings and XLBs were also excellent, with generous fillings and very juicy. I would absolutely come back again to try out other menu items! read more

Was looking for a spot to eat at 930pm which is not easy to find in RWC lol! But happy we stopped by here. We ordered a lot - takoyaki, 3 skewers, soup dumplings, beef bulgogi potstickers, char Siu bao, and the fried pork Shanghai style round dumplings. The soup dumplings, takoyaki, and round fried dumplings were my favorite! Everything came out piping hot so you have to be patient if you don't want to burn the roof of your mouth hahah Skewers were not bad but not as good as some Izakaya restaurants so I recommend focusing on the dumplings read more

This place is a gem! The food was absolutely delicious! Located on Main Street (basically) in downtown RWC. Parking can be tricky, especially on a weekend. The library parking or the public parking behind Milagros is the closest. We came in during the holiday month, and they had super cute decorations and a beautiful Christmas tree. It was not busy at all when we came and the service was prompt and super welcoming. The only feedback is that the food took quite a bit, which the server kindly apologized for. So it would've interesting to see if it was a fluke or if on a busy night the weight would be longer. The food we ordered: Shrimp skewers - 4 stars Pork belly skewers - 5 stars!!! Congee - 4 stars Cucumber salad - 3 stars, only because I was hoping for the spicy dressing. But it still had good taste. Dumplings were all FIRE! So fresh and great flavors! read more

5.0/5: stuffed scallion pancake with shrimp: excellent. It's the perfect pancake; just enough grease. Shrimp has great flavor. Great sauce 4.5: stuffed pancake with chicken. Too heavy on the salty plum sauce. 4.0: har gao. Wrapper could be more QQ, filling not as flavorful as it could be. 3.5: XLB: wrapper a little soggy, filling OK. 3.0: pan fried pork bun (sheng jian bao): Flavor is good, but wrapper is soggy. Not QQ. Not half as good as Shanghai Flavor Shop in Sunnyvale. 3.0: Pork belly skewer; too tough. read more

Got here on a Thursday afternoon. Pleasant hostess/ waitress, she seated us quickly and explained the menu to us in detail. Dark interior but clean and chill vibe. We got couple skewers, ramen house special pan fried pork baos and ribeye. The hostess was really attentive if we needed something, engaging with our baby too. Skewers: Bacon enoki 5/5 Shiitake with Bonita 3/5 Unagi 5/5 Bacon enoki, so juicy and flavourful. Unagi was very tender and literally fell off the stick lol. Shiitake with Bonita was meh. Black garlic miso ramen 4/5 Heavy taste but very salty. Noodles and pork was a great combo. Little bit of a kick too. House special pan fried pork baos 5/5 I didn't expect much but wow these were so juicy and crispy in all the right ways! Ribeye steak on stone 3/5 She was busy so it cooked a little more waiting on the stone while we watched it lol. The seasoning or sauce was too salty, took away from the meat and presentation. Overall 4/5 if we are in the area we'd come back. read more

Nice decor and customer service. They offered happy hours - 20% off on appetizers and 50% off on wine and beer. The pan fried buns were juicy and flavorful (4/5). The scallions spicy beef taco was delicious with a kick (5/5). Wished they would make it bigger. The chicken cartilage was overfried and was mild in taste (2/5). The cold noodle and cucumber salad were a let down (2/5). The noodle was soggy and the cucumber was not marinated enough. The fried geso with sauce was pretty good (4/5). Lastly, parking was a challenge here, so beware. read more

Overall: I should have known this wasn't a good sign when I saw how many different (and very specialized) types of food this place offers. Unfortunately, most of them were shockingly bad. I genuinely don't understand how restaurant food can taste this off. Do not recommend. What we ordered: - Gomae: Overwhelmingly salty sauce dumped on top of a pile of spinach. Not even mixed together, just sauce sitting on veggies. - Chicken meatball skewers: Very poor texture. The meat falls apart into loose crumbs instead of holding together. - Hamachi carpaccio: Only 4 very thin, small slices of fish. Lacked flavor and felt like a tiny portion for the price. - Other skewers: Same issue across the board. Everything was covered in an extremely salty sauce that didn't blend into the food. It just tasted like salt + meat/veggies separately. - Pan-fried pork bun: Honestly, just go to a place that specializes in these. This was nowhere close. Vinegar wasn't even offered, but at that point it wouldn't have saved it anyway. - Ramen: Tasted okay. - Rice ball: Also okay. Bottom line: Most dishes were overly salty and poorly executed. Would not come back. read more

Our annual girls dinner. Brochette did not disappoint. We ordered a ton, but we were so hungry we didn't stop to take pix u til the desert. My friend ordered a nice bottle of sake. They have the coolest sake chiller. It has an ice core so it doesn't dilute the sake. I only a video of it. We had th XLB, shrimp and chive dumplings, fried oysters, grilled squid (amazing!), beef tongue, beef skewer (a bit in the chewy side), chicken guard, chicken liver, salmon, shrimp, spinach, grilled red onion, assorted pickles, bacon wrapped emoji, bacon asparagus, okra, shishito peppers, pork and preserved egg congee (delicious!). I know I'm missing something... And they comped U.S. fried yam chips and deserts. All in all very happy bellies. J would definitely recommend if you're I. The area. The owners Ambrose and his wife were great hosts. read more

Came here on a weekday during lunch time and it wasn't too busy. Ambiance is dimly lit and intimate. Our favorite that we ordered was the stuffed scallion with spicy chicken and the pork pan fried bao. They both had flavor and were tasty. The ramen lacked flavor and the meat was not as tender. The cabbage and pork dumpling was nothing to rave about. I'd probably come back during their happy hour. read more

Well, apparently the shishito peppers may not all be shishito? I popped one in my mouth at dinner and have never had a pepper as hot in my life. I went outside, vomited and had to rush to 7/11 for milk. Came back to my GF in about 10 minutes. No apologies, no changes to the bill. Walked out paying for 160 for overpriced food, went home and vomited again. Well, at least the ramen was decent read more

Drive a bit farther for better elsewhere. We spent about $100 for two and left still feeling empty, with no dish that really stood out. For that price, the experience felt closer to food court quality than something memorable. This place has remnants of Izakaya Rakuzo, and now it's a dumplings-and-grill concept--but the result feels like an identity crisis. The scattered Chinese additions are not cohesive, and not really fusion either--just unfocused. Maybe it works for a group that can't decide between Chinese or Japanese, but it doesn't come together as a strong concept. There were a couple of small highlights--the jammy egg in the noodle soup and the chicken cartilage--but overall, most dishes lacked depth or proper execution. The cucumber salad had no punch (missing garlic and sesame oil and likely not pickled long enough). The pork bone broth noodles tasted store-bought and unremarkable. The soup dumplings had soft wrappers with no chew--closer to wonton skins than proper XLB--and a diluted black vinegar dipping sauce. The beef tongue was overcooked, tough, and dry; if served thick, it should be medium rare. The shishito peppers were burnt and limp, the chicken thigh with yuzu lacked marinade and tasted like straight yuzu jam, and the okra was soggy and slimy without any char. Would have appreciated a better tare to bring depth across the grilled items, and given basics like lemon, shichimi, or wasabi for the table. Overall, it feels like a place with potential but no clear direction yet. With better seasoning, technique, and a more focused identity, it could improve--but right now, it doesn't justify the price. read more

Rating: 3.95/5 We stopped by this spot in Redwood City for a quick snack while exploring the area. The menu was extensive, but we opted for appetizers since we didn't have time nor the stomach for a full meal. Service was good, and the food and drinks arrived in a reasonable time. Lychee Sake ($12): Beautifully presented with a large orchid garnish--delicious and sweet. I'm not a sake fan but this one I would recommend! A5 Japanese Wagyu Skewer ($19): The best item that we tried here. Wagyu was cooked nicely so that the meat was juicy but not too fatty. Chicken Skin ($5.50) & Fresh Water Eel/Unagi Skewer ($6): Average. read more

The overall experience was sooo good that we did not have time to take pics for the review. We just ate it all slowly to savor all flavors and roll by roll, scallion pancake by scallion pancake, we conquered the table. The dumplings, the Hamachi, everything so fresh. Thank you to the staff for great customer service despite how late we were there. They never rushed us out. Great Friday night vibes to start the weekend. Highly recommend if you are in RWC area. read more

We came here 3x in 8 days, so to say we love this restaurant is an understatement! The food is really good. I wouldn't call it fusion, but rather they serve both Chinese and Japanese dishes. For skewers, we've tried the pork belly, eel, salmon, chicken thighs, beef tongue, and a fancy beef one. The fancy beef one was just ok, but the rest were delicious! The Gyudon is a good, reliable dish to have. The wontons in chili oil is my husband/FIL's favorite. Husband says it's the best he's had across the country! I liked the hamachi carpaccio a lot! Pan fried buns were just ok. I think skewers though is the way to go! I love that everything comes out super hot and fresh, like literally right from the kitchen. No waiting time. I love that the service is soo good, the two very friendly waitresses have come to recognize our family and they make us feel so welcome! Lastly, if you show up at 5pm, and your kids like Kpop Demon Hunters, there's a fair chance that the nice waitress will play some of the songs on the album for you! A cool vibe place with really good food. read more

There's only a handful of places I go to in Redwood City and Brochette is definitely one of them. There's another location within SF state that I frequent to more often but this place offers grilled items! I usually order a lot here, no matter the party size because everything is shareable and at a smaller portion (which the price reflects.) Do go for their cucumbers and grilled items. read more

Great selection of food, the house special pork pan fried bao is delicious -- one of the best outside of China. Love its tapas style, you can get a lot of smaller dishes to share and try a lot of different items! Service is outstanding!! Every server is so hospitable and you can tell they care about their customers. We tried a lot of their items, would totally recommend the dumplings, XLB, wonton in chili oil, pan fried bao, skewers such as the ox tongue, salmon and chicken. Kids loved the porridge and ramen too. We got a bottle of sake, it comes with the coolest chilling/dispensing device -- it's an experience! read more

Brochette Dumpling & Grill -- Redwood City's elevated "izakaya + dim sum" If you have queued at that popular izakaya in Burlingame, here's the insider move: head south. Brochette Dumpling & Grill isn't "fusion confusion"--it's two traditions sharing the table. Japanese yakitori/izakaya vibes on one side; Chinese dumplings/noodles on the other. They even run shabu-shabu so that the table can go full hot-pot party mode. It is the gem that balances Japanese and Chinese dishes side by side -- no gimmicky fusion, just both done excellently. The spread (what to eat): Ribeye (grill) -- sizzle therapy Arrives juicy and deeply beefy and fatty, the kind of hot-plate entrée that keeps hissing as it lands. Nice char, plenty of fat to carry flavor. Slice, dip, repeat. Stuffed scallion pancake -- your "Mexi-K-J" mash-up This is the sleeper hit. Imagine a Chinese scallion pancake acting like a quesadilla/taco shell, stuffed with your choice of protein. The textures are the fun part: flaky, chewy, crisp, juicy. It reads like Mexican format meets Korean/ Japanese flavors--totally snackable, totally shareable. Chicken knee cartilage (aamaaazing) -- crunchy-chewy, for real ones The nankotsu crowd knows: this is all about texture. The exterior crackles, then a bouncy bite inside. Pair with beer or a crisp sake and you will get why I am obsessed over it. Uber Eats Black garlic ramen -- inky, umami, comforting This bowl leans on black garlic (roasted, sweet-savory) and a miso broth for depth. If you see it served with kakuni, that's braised pork belly--melty squares of pork simmered low and slow in soy-sake-mirin until spoon-tender. Order this when you want something rich, glossy, and comfort-heavy. Porridge (Congee) The curveball on the menu, but a comforting one. Silky rice porridge that leans Chinese in style -- warm, mild, belly-hugging. Perfect for balancing out the heavier skewers or when you want something soothing to end the night. Add a side of dumplings, and it turns into an underrated late-night combo. Order as much as you can from the skewer! They are all sooo good!!! Should I still tell you to order their A5 wagyu skewer? Come on! How to work the menu (my foodie game plan): Start with their pan fried dumplings, then add one stuffed scallion pancake to cut and pass. 1. Build a skewer flight 2. Share a ribeye and their grilled squid for the table (it eats like a centerpiece), and if you're a noodle person, split the black garlic miso bowl. If you're lingering, pivot to shabu and let the conversation stretch. Their vibes are modern-casual, they have a very lively bar with wide range of alcohol and wine selections, and built for ordering "just one more" round. It's a choose-your-own-adventure spot that handles date night, group feasts, and late-night cravings with equal ease. Their menus confirm the breadth--scallion pancakes, skewers, noodles, grilled plates, and hot pot are all in play. I would say dine-in is your best bet for peak texture. The Burlingame comparison, straight up: Crowds go north; flavor per minute feels better here! If Burlingame is the scene, Brochette is the gem you will brag about discovering. read more

Came here with friends in a group of 3 and we made a reservation in advance so was able to get seated pretty quickly. We came on a Friday night around 7:30pm and the restaurant was decently busy. This was my first time checking this place out, and the ambiance was nice with a slightly more modern slightly upscale-feel style decor although there was also a lot of cutesy artwork featuring Totoro, so was an interesting vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive. We ended up ordering cucumbers, wonton in chili oil, xiao long bao, pan fried pork buns, cabbage & pork potstickers, chicken karaage, and a bulgogi grilled rice ball (yaki onigiri). I'd say of all the food, the pan friend pork bun and wonton in chili oil were probably my favorites, and the other items were all just OK. Overall, decent food place with good vibes that could be good for a date or casual hangout. read more

BEWARE!!! THEY DO NOT WASH WATER PITCHERS IN BETWEEN TABLES. The servers will wipe down the bottles and just refill it. Definitely saw things floating around inside the pitchers too... Chicken karage looked a little raw and asked the server about it. She apologized and had a manager come over and they admitted it was pre cooked. read more

Good service, nicely decorated but a bit overpriced for average Asian food. Worst of all, we got severe food poisoning from their dollar oysters; we actually reported the incident to the local health agency and we found out recently there is an oyster recall. I didn't take the food poisoning into account for the yelp rating, rather it simply reflects the average, sometimes bland food. We were able to take advantage of their happy hour menu which helped with the cost. The best item is the ribeye steak, flavorful and comes on a hot plate so you can adjust steak to your own preference. The ramen was also decent. The chicken meatballs were dry. The skewers were average on average. The vegetable dumplings were very bland with very thick skin. The corn skewer was dry and had zero flavor. The servers were friendly and menu is fairly large. Cocktails and bar menu available. There is paid street parking, annoyingly enforced until 8pm. Overall, we don't plan to return. Even amongst average restaurant options in Redwood City, this one falls short for me. read more

Not recommended. For some reason this place was in my "try later" collection (maybe for its yakitori offerings). We decided to give it a try after grocery shopping nearby. The good: this place is clean (bathrooms too) and decent. The vibe is somewhat like an izakaya. Waiters and waitresses are polite and nice. The bad: not a value pick. I read some negative reviews of its dim sums so I avoided those and went for mostly Japanese items. Some of the items we ordered weren't bad per se (but not great): the beef tongue for example was ok. But all of the items were overpriced for their portions. The hamachi carpaccio has five really thin slices for $17 (and not flavorful). The lamb chop has 3 tiny pieces with little meat for $16 and tastes bitter. The pork bone ramen has ridiculously little noodles and comes with a really big bowl of soup that makes it look like good portion. The bulgogi rice ball is burnt. I can go on and on. Overall I will give this place a 2-star for its environment and service and mediocre food. There are many other places with better food and lower price. I cannot recommend this place unless you are close by, in a big group, and only looking for some casual bites and drinks. read more

My friends and I were looking for a lunch spot and came here since it was nearby. They had just opened so we were the only ones there. They give you a paper menu and you mark it up with what you want to order. There is a wide variety on the menu from dumplings to sushi. Chicken udon (4/5): This was a part of a lunch set. The broth was nice and clean. The chicken was tender. This also had slices of mushrooms on it. The udon was cooked well as it wasn't too soft. Napa cabbage and pork dumpling (4/5): These were your standard steamed dumplings. Filling was good. A nice spot for lunch since they have specials. The waitress was attentive and checked up on us often. The food did take a little bit to come out but understandable since it was opening. read more

Found this place on yelp as it was open at 4:30pm. Definitely a weird time to eat and when we arrived the restaurant was empty. Coincidentally, it happened to be happy hour. The happy hour is 20% off appetizers, $1 oysters, and a small deal on certain alcoholic drinks. Some of the items on the happy hour menu is just standard pricing so a bit deceiving. I found the portions to be okay but a bit on the small side, especially considering the price. Even with 20% off, it was definitely still on the higher end. The green onion pancake was just a single pancake that was pretty oily. Meh not something I would order again. The chili oil won tons were not bad. It was pretty average. The cold ramen was pretty good. It was a bit hard to mix the seaweed since it clumped up after mixing. But probably one of the better dish of the day. Takoyaki is pretty standard. More worth the price compared to the other items. The oysters were definitely great. It was easier to eat with a spoon and the mix of lemon and sauce was perfect. read more

Brochette Dumpling & Grill is a modern, stylish restaurant. Mostly street parking only. We stopped in close to closing time but she was patient, nice, and friendly and did not rush us. We ordered just before the kitchen closed. The place is small with inside dining only. It can accommodate a couple of large groups...maybe. Ideal for smaller groups. We ordered a couple of noodle soups. Pork Bone Broth Noodle (Ramen): with bean sprouts, sliced pork, corn, mushrooms, egg, green onions, & roasted seaweed. Decent broth, smooth and not oily heavy. The egg was perfect! It's what you would expect. Spicy Black Garlic Miso Broth Noodle (ramen): with bean sprouts, sliced pork, corn, mushrooms, quail eggs, green onions, & roasted seaweed. Ok, this is spicy for non-spicy food eaters. The broth was decent, but not like black garlic I am used to. The noodles were reminiscent of Chinese egg noodles. Some of the dim sum seemed pricey for the amount of items in an order. Overall, 3.5 stars. The Service put them over. Come check them out. read more
