They also have a mild and spicy version (mala) and a none spicy for all levels of enjoyment. The spicy sliced potato, corn cheese and enoki mushrooms were great. Their Sapporo pitcher special for $10 was also a great deal. Overall the meat and marinade was great and the special items such as chicken heart and pork skin was crispy and good. The service was decent if you waived the staff down. We got all our orders in a timely manner. The vibe is kind of loud but enjoyable time with friends and family. Bring a shirt you don't care to smell as the cooking will stick onto your clothes.

Portions were good. Chicken was super moist and tender. Rice was the highlight... SO VERY GOOD! It tasted better than the chicken IMHO. Hummus was smooth with the right consistency. Small salad was decent. Pita bread was soft and perfect with the hummus. Entire plate was top-notch. Highly recommend to everyone! As for the redemption via mySGV food passport, their offer was 1 Free Chicken Wrap or Falafel Wrap. The gentleman behind the register said they ran out of Chicken Wrap which didn't make sense to me. They were still cooking chicken for the other food items. Anyway, I had no choice, but to be okay with the Falafel Wrap. He said it wasn't the full size wrap... only sample size. Thanks Wahib's! Falafel was well seasoned. Wasn't too dry which I appreciate it. As for the presentation, it could have been better. It was a bit sloppy. Overall wrap was just okay. I probably wouldn't order the full size. Staff was nice and pleasant. Wait time was a bit long though. Anyway, got my stamp #14. Thanks Wahib's! I am on my way to stamp #15.

I've driven past John's Kabob on Atlantic Blvd many times and finally decided to give it a try when…read moreI needed an early lunch. The fact that they open at 10:00 AM is a huge plus compared to other local spots that don't open until 11:00. I ordered the Chicken Kabob ($19.99) via DoorDash. The order arrived exactly as advertised, and I appreciated that they included utensils, which is becoming a rarity these days. The meal includes two skewers of chicken with two sides; I chose rice and hummus. It would be great if they offered an option to add a side salad, as that was missing from the menu. Regarding the food, the chicken was well-seasoned, and the pita was served warm and soft. The garlic sauce was solid, and the rice was nice and moist--even with the addition of noodles, which was a unique touch I didn't mind. The hummus was a bit oily, likely from the travel, but the flavor was still good. My only real complaint was the peppers on the kabob; they didn't taste fresh and had an unpleasant burnt flavor. Overall, it was a solid meal and a good reminder not to judge a book by its cover. I'd definitely be open to ordering from here again.

We dined in at John's Kabob for lunch today, and we tried their combo plates that we can choose any…read moretwo meats (Chicken, Beef, Gyro, Kafta, Shrimp, or Lamb) with the choices of two sides. (Salad, Fries, Rice, Hummus, or Veggies). We ordered the following combo plates: 1. Two meat combo plate (chicken & beef), with fries and salad as sides. 2. Two meat combo plate (Beef & Kafta), with fries and rice. 3. Two meat combo plate (Beef & Lamb), with fries and rice. 4. Two fountain drinks Most of the people got to-go at this restaurant, so it was pretty empty when we dined in; however, they were very busy because they had so many to-go orders. Our food came in about 15 minutes later. Our orders also came with pita bread and yogurt. The pita bread was soft and perfect to dip in the Greek yogurt. I liked my beef Kabob; it was very flavorful. But the meat quality of beef and chicken was not very tender; they were a bit chewy. The Kafta was a Mediterranean dish consisting of ground meat; this one was ground beef. It was not bad. The fries and rice were also good. Make sure to order your food earlier because you may need to wait for a while. The service was friendly. The cashier was very helpful; she helped us to refill our drinks and also followed up on my fries that they forgot earlier.

But anyways, I got their appetizers sampler for 2 with falafel, sarma, and, cucumber yogurt and combo plate with chicken and filet to try.

The falafel had a strong bell peppery flaves with a crumbly interior and crispity crunchity exterior. The sarma was filled with a tangy herby umami tart tomato rice which was wrapped in a fibrous grape leaf. The cucumber yogurt was chunky, dilly, and refreshing and paired really well with the crispity crunchity fried pita chips and bread. The combo plate came with bulgur rice which reminded me of oatmeal but in rice form, juicy grilled tomato and pepper, tender, meaty and perfectly cooked filet cubes and juicy and savory chicken thigh chunks with some Sweet crunchy onions.

Ordered lamb skewers (they sell in batches of 5 skewers), 1 non spicy and the rest spicy. The non spicy didn't have much taste 6/10, the spicy wasn't that spicy 7/10. Also ordered lamb noodle soup (7.5/10), they gave good portions of lamb but the soup and noodles could be better. Perhaps it's a little too authentic for me, it's definitely northern Chinese food, not your typical Chinese.
