    We were seated right away since all of our party was here. It was a busy place with lively music and the servers were very helpful and made sure our water glasses were filled. The skewered food was delicious and very tasty. We ordered various options. Be sure to let them know you placed an order so the servers know to look out for your order. The food came out quick and so tender. I suggest asking for any additional dipping sauce. It was a good experience

    First time I've ever gone to a Chinese BBQ Skewer place. Went with some friends during their grand opening where they had storewide discounts. Everyone places orders on their phone on their website, sharing the table menu. It can get hectic with everyone placing their own orders, and by the end of everything we think we may have received more skewers than we paid for but it was hard to tell. Overall their beef and lamb are the best ones. Price wise it's decent. In my opinion everything tasted the same because they were all loaded with the same spices. No adjustments to the seasoning is offered so if your spice tolerance is low you may have a hard time here.

    TIME: came here around 7:30, didn't get seated about probably 7:45 or so, the restaurant was full at the time, and this was on a saturday night. PLACE: the place was pretty big and the parking is kind of eh if it is a really busy time. you also order through a QR code on the table. FOOD: i don't really remember what we specifically got, but we got fish, steamed buns, corn, asparagus, pork, lamb, and beef. all had the same seasoning which made it unique to what chinese bbq is but it's not particularly my favorite in my opinion, but if you really like chinese bbq this place would be optimal. OVERALL: chinese bbq isn't my favorite but this place is cheap and nice, my favorite out of everything. would be the steamed buns and it makes the savoriness of the seasoning and meat tie down with everything.

    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!

    Great food, spacious environment, great service! The kids also enjoyed the lamb skewers had fun.

    - 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

    Very nice new bbq place to try. The food is delicious and service is prompt. Location is convenient... strongly recommend you give this place a try.

    Hidden away like a secret speakeasy, this Chinese BBQ spot feels super authentic and gives off great late-night vibes. You walk past a simple front and step into a cozy room filled with the smell of cumin and charcoal. Honestly, the lamb skewers here are the best. They have a great mix of meat and fat that gets nicely charred on the grill. Grab a cold beer to go with them and you are all set.

    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.

    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

    Fresh food, clean environment, decent prices, great service - we came here late night on a Sunday and had a great time

My wife and I tried the Crackling Chicken Bites, and the Chicken Wings. The wings were very large and perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Cracklings were "Amaze Balls" They are a healthier version of Pork Rinds, but even more delicious. We asked the Manager about their origin and a lot of work was put in to perfect the recipe. Well worth the effort Chefs Kiss on this one!

After watching a review on social media, I decided to try something new. I had to try the cracklin' chicken bites. I ordered the southern fried fish, added the brisket, and the collard greens. After I ordered, I went to the bar to order a gin and tonic. I asked for the Bombay Sapphire gin. Then, it turned into an unreal experience. When I got my drink, I asked the female bartender if she added lemon or lime. She gave me "the look" and said I did not ask for lemon or lime. Taken aback, I told her that I've never had a gin and tonic without lemon or lime. She then replied, "rude". I proceeded to apologize, and then she acquiesced and gave me a garnish. I thanked her and again apologized. She was having none of it. I was in a great mood because I still tipped her. However, it has been bugging me ever since July 25. Hence, my review. Back to the food. My food was delicious, flavorful, and portion sizes were great. In fact, I am taking my parents there today. However, we are going to go to the one on South of Market--just in case I want a gin and tonic. I will be sure to ask for lime this time. :)

    My boyfriend and I made a reservation through OpenTable for late lunch here (which definitely was…read morenot needed as it wasn't busy when we went) to try some of the BBQ before meeting up with some of my friends. The location that we went to is located next to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row on Olin Ave. There is a free 2 hour parking structure across of the restaurant where my boyfriend and I parked at. We came during their Lunch Specials (until 4pm) and Happy Hour (from 3-5:30pm) which worked perfectly as we wanted something smaller in portion compared to the dinner portions. We started off with drinks. I got their Pig Ol' Bitties Blonde Ale, and my boyfriend got their Friday Beer & Shot special of This Little Piggy Went to [Mark]et with a 16 oz Dirty Little Pig IPA and a shot of Benchmark whiskey. My fault for having him get a whiskey shot on an empty stomach, though HAHA. He did like how smooth the whiskey was at least! We shared a 2-meat BBQ Lunch Combo Plate, and honestly, we should have gotten 3 meats because of how tender and delicious everything was! We got their Tri Tip and Sliced Brisket with their Garlic Mash and server recommended Sweet Potato Tots. Ahhh, everything was so good! Aside from the tender, flavorful meats, the two sides, especially the garlic mash, were sooooo good. We both loved everything! It was definitely a great choice coming during lunch as we were quite full after ordering one of their happy hour shareables of Chips & Queso (kind of pricey even for happy hour in my opinion for chips and cheese). Honestly wished we got their Chili Cheese Fries or their other fries which were the same price than just chips and dip LOL. But it was a good hold over food with us drinking a bit (at least for me). Shoutout to the only server who was working on a late Friday afternoon as she was doing her best to accommodate everyone + trying to clean up the previous tables. It was kind of sad seeing that the other workers didn't help bus the tables in my opinion. Overall, a great place to watch sports and have some good whiskey as this restaurant is known for their whiskey selections! The lunch BBQ exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back for another lunch special meal but probably with 3 meats this time!

    Great place to come with friends to drink and eat good food!…read more Yes, its a bit pricier than normal skewer places, but i love the ambiance and vibe in here! super cyber-punky and sometimes they have live singers here! 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

    Been to Discovery Fusion so many times for late night bites, it never disappoints! I've noticed…read morethat depending on the day, the later you come, the louder it gets as they have live karaoke here. 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!
