    Beef skewers.
    Super S.

    Tastes similar to the previous bbq place but I'll say the quality and tastes is better and more authentic! Super happy about this place. Clean, nice interior design, waiting for ready to be served

    What a cute place! And they have very nice, friendly wait staff. The food was pretty good - not the best Chinese bbq I've had, but it was solid. As someone who's only had this a few times, this restaurant goes lighter on flavor. And everything comes with spice - so if you've can't take spice, this will be a tough place to eat at. Maybe because they're so busy, but some of the dishes were overcooked or not grilled nicely. Highlights: Any tofu or bean curd dish Fish tofu Stinky tofu Eggplant Bean curd noodles Takoyaki THEIR DESSERTS! Omg, cream filled balls and custard filled rice cakes. This was by far the tastiest part of the meal. All in all, I would return but only if there's no wait - and maybe just for tofu and dessert.

    Had such a great experience at Hearth BBQ! The Apple & Kale Fiber Fruit Drink was surprisingly refreshing and honestly one of my favorite drinks here. The sweet and sour chicken rack was so flavorful and unique!! I wasn't expecting it to be this good! Usually I'm used to the ones that are super spicy! The chicken cartilage skewers had the perfect crispy texture!! Everything came out fresh, and the skewers were grilled perfectly. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving great BBQ. I'll definitely be back!

    Stinky tofu

    - the interior is modern, clean, and great for late nights as they have a big tv playing the World Cup - ordering is simple - the scan the qr and order, they place a receipt on your table and slowly check off when your orders arrive - this place got busy closer to 6 so you put your name down on a tablet and wait - the service can be a little slow, I'm sure because they're still in their soft opening phase and a lot of customers were in this day - loved the meat skewers! The lamb, beef, and pork were all so tender, juicy, and flavorful without being overwhelming - I'd recommend the stinky tofu dish, it was extremely crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside EDIT: down to 4 stars, the service was very slow now. Even when we waved down the workers to ask them to check our last remaining skewers, they seemingly forgot and we waited even longer. We had to wave them down again which was difficult because no one was walking around our area! I understand they are overwhelmed but lots of people were waiting for tables as well

    First time here and I am guessing it's their soft opening. It's rare to see a bbq skewer place that has takoyaki on the menu...that was a plus, the taste & texture was absolutely delicious. We ordered a variety of food like lamb, beef, chicken skin, chicken heart, pork belly, chicken gizzard, chicken cartilage, pork intestine skewers. We also got the smashed cucumber to ease up on the spices and helps cleanse the palate and ease on digestion. We got the grilled scallops, two orders of it because it was so damn good. And lastly the whole large squid, my friend pointed out that it could use a bit more seasoning or sauce to it as all the sauce were directly at the tentacles. Service was fast & very attentive in getting orders out as quickly as possible. Overall we had a great experience and looking forward to coming back.

    Good!

    Hearth was just soft opened days ago replacing a predecessor in the same premises. We decided to try it out as we always liked BBQ food. Food was ok. Bbq items lacked cumin flavor. The version of the spice mix I liked requires a good balance of pepper, cumin and sugar. Place was stylishly designed in soft color hues, clean, spacious and comfortable. New amenities. Bathroom was also clean. Service was polite and friendly. Order however was a bit disorganized. We had a couple of orders that didn't show up; at the end we canceled them. With that, I still recommend to give this place a try as right now they offer discount in the whole month to establish customer base.

    小黄鱼
    Qingyuan C.

    小黄鱼很嫩,榴莲酥酥脆流心,鱿鱼香嫩,羊肉喜欢孜然,牛肉刚烤出来好吃,包菜入味好吃!臭豆腐和黄喉可以再多一点酱料更入味。店员服务都很好!店面装修现代简洁,也很舒服。 The small yellow croaker is incredibly tender, and the durian pastries are crispy on the outside with a delicious, molten filling. The squid is flavorful and tender, the lamb has a great cumin flavor, and the beef tastes amazing right off the grill. Even the cabbage is well-seasoned and delicious! That said, the stinky tofu and pork aorta could use a bit more sauce to really soak in the flavor. The staff provides excellent service, and the restaurant's modern, minimalist decor makes for a very comfortable dining experience.

    The seasoning was on point and meats were pretty tender! I would say this place improved since it used to be the old Discovery Fusion location. And the service was super duper fast. I would come here again as much as a I can to support. Recommend lamb and beef and chicken skin!!

    Soft opening week! Went on the first day and it was 22% off. Inside is nicely remodeled and very spacious! Staff was attentive and very observant. Our food took a bit to come out but everything came out very hot, so I assumed it is fresh off their grill. Seasoning was perfectly spicy for me, and all the meats were tender! A great addition around Cupertino! I will definitely be back :)

    Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Environment 5/5 如果你喜歡楊師傅燒烤,那你也會喜歡這裡的串,店員目前還在培訓,但整體服務仍然不錯。餐廳環境明亮、舒適又帶點優雅,很適合跟朋友一起聊天用餐。至於餐點風味,我認為高於灣區大部分中式餐廳的平均水準。值得推薦來試試。 If you like Chef Yang, you will like their skewers. Staffs are still in training but still ok, cozy bright elegant environment very comfortable. Food flavor is at above Bay Area Chinese restaurant average. Highly recommended.

    Just commenting on the food: I personally thought it was really good. The only downside was that the Mao Xue Wang portion was a bit small, but everything else was delicious.

My sister wanted bbq for her birthday and so we opted for this place. i loved they way that it was decorated. it's like a bar and bbq served in one place. Since i've never been here before i was really surprised by their portion sizes. it was well worth the money spent and picking up was easy too. super nice guys who helped me. i was a bit confused on what kind of sauces they had. the person who helped me gave me a run down and explained their sauces. they also gave me some samples to try to take home as welll. by far i think id have to agree that their tin roof sauce is the best sauce my sister even wanted to know if she could just buy their bbq sauce. other then that we ordered roughly a good portion of bbq- pulled pork, cheddar cheese jalapeño sausage, burnt ends, brisket, chicken wings, and ribs. our sides were the cajun rice, green beans, cole slaw and corn succatash. would probably love to come back for their lunch special one of these days.

Came with another family and the kids just had so much fun running around. The dude and I had fun playing golf, wife and her friend had fun chatting on the side. The food here is excellent. I wouldn't say its the best BBQ in the states but it's certainly better than anything in San Diego. I simply got the chicken tacos and a couple glasses of wine. The chicken tacos were great, flavorful, well seasoned. They're a bit steep at $23 for 3 tacos but well sized and worth it. Whenever I'm vising from out of town and have family with me we'll likely stop here. It's great.

You cant really find a skewer place with this type of vibe, def a spot i like to take my out of town friends to for a good time I love getting the fried tofu skins, this is my favorite skewer to get. I actually prefer the regular skewers than the mini skewers just because the mini is so small you have to really bite into the metal stick (which can stab your mouth if your not careful, especially if you end up drinking too much) razor clams are bomb here! Yes they add hella chillies in here so you have to pick it out, but its hard to find places with a razor clam dish that is super tasty and flavorful The alcoholic drinks here are super unique and interesting, my method is to go for the cutest branding, and just order it, and suprisingly it ends up working in my favor LOL my favorite part, is the seasoning they use on all the skewers! that classic chinese taste :D

This place has such fun decorations and I love all the neon lights here as it's very well lit up inside. My top 3 favorite skewers are the beef, enoki, and a-choy. They're all coated with the same seasonings here so it's easy to get tired of so I always order a few of the grilled vermicelli oysters which are so tasty, and I love all the garlic it comes with! Some other good skewers are the chicken skin, pork belly, and corn. Love the drinks here too, most recently noticed they added an alcoholic blind box to the menu and it was so exciting to try 12 different mystery shots. Even though I did not enjoy half of the drinks, this is probably the most fun drinking concept I've seen at a restaurant and I'd absolutely order it again. The ambiance, customer service, and food are always all great - I'll never say no to dinner a Discovery!

At many restaurants, that would be a problem. At Henry's, it becomes a reason to test the rest of the grill. We ordered the Porterhouse and the Sirloin, both medium rare. The Porterhouse was solid: balanced seasoning, clean grill flavor, no unnecessary tricks. A lot of restaurants can do a good Porterhouse because the cut already has drama -- bone, fat, tenderness, presentation. But Sirloin is different. Sirloin exposes the kitchen. Especially that strip of fat running along the edge. If the grill work is careless, that fat becomes chewy, greasy, or wasted. Henry's handled it beautifully. The meat stayed true medium rare, while the fat edge was properly rendered, lightly charred, and full of beef aroma. That is real steakhouse skill. Medium rare lean meat plus properly rendered sirloin fat is not automatic. It takes timing, fire control, and experience. The baked potato was simple and correct. The salad was classic old-school steakhouse style. Dark beer still feels like the right companion here. Henry's is not trying to become trendy. It is not chasing presentation. People come here to eat steak, drink beer, and trust the kitchen. Prime Rib is still the ritual. But this visit proved something important: Henry's is not only a Prime Rib place. They know beef. - Dr. C Fire controlled. Fat rendered. Medium rare verified.

They also carry cans as well that are not listed and you can just grab it from the fridge and pay at the register. There is a good amount of seating inside and there are a few tables outside as well. I ordered my stout and i let it sit as the foam settled and realized that the pour did not fill up the glass. I let the staff know and they fixed the issue by topping off my drink. The staff are very friendly and understanding. During my first visit, we ordered the ribs and brisket as well as a tri tip salad. The brisket was very tender and juicy. I usually avoid ordering briskets since most BBQ places in San Jose that I've been to have made them very dry. There was only one piece that wasn't juicy which I expected since it had no fat on it. It was still tender and not dried out. The ribs were also good. It was tender and didn't stick to the bone as much but it wasn't as tender where it just slides off the bone. The seasoning on the ribs was neutral and the BBQ Pit have their own special bbq sauce (regular and spicy) which goes well with the meat. My wife ordered the tri tip salad and she enjoyed it. I stole some of her greens to balance the meat and beer and the veggies were fresh. The salad came with cornbread but I didn't try it. On my second visit, I decided to get the tri tip woith a side of baked potato and coleslaw. The baked potato was $3 extra. The tri tip had really good flavor and texture. It ripped apart easily when pulling. The coleslaw was ok. I might get the mac and cheese or beans next time. My wife ate the baked potato and ate most of it. I tried a little bit where it was just the potato and it was not overcooked and not too undercooked. It was easy to scoop with the fork without too much effort. If you are in the area and craving for BBQ, I highly recommend trying this place. The portion is not as big as BBQ joints in Texas or KC but they are on par with the ones around San Jose. The pricing is decent and like I mentioned, is also on par to San Jose pricing. If you have a big group, there are plenty of tables to accommodate folks. The location is close to the highway so that's a plus. The staff is very helpful and will give you a good recommendation if you are debating on what to order.
