    cucumber salad, YUM cold and refreshing
    Chloe C.

    Food - ordered a bunch of skewers and food but my favorites were enoki mushrooms, cucumber salad, and korean cold noodles! was not a fan of their "little skewers" per se. felt like the meat was so little that i could barely taste it. Service - super busy but got seated fairly quickly. Ambiance - has live karaoke where a staff sings and you can pay $20 i think to request or sing yourself. Not the best place to catch up with friends cause you can't really hear due to the music. Overall, not a huge fan of the meat skewers but the mushrooms and korean cold noodles and other dishes were SOO good. RECOMMENDED DISHES: garlic enoki mushroom, cucumber salad, cold noodles, cauliflower, fish tofu!!

    Atmosphere was great for the crowd, they have a live singer on Sat night. Skewers are decent but maybe it was too busy, we requested for service twice but didn't get any help, as our candles were off which made our skewers cold and hard after a while so we ended up light the new candles ourselves (should have done it earlier if I knew additional candles were just placed underneath). The live singing was hyping up the atmosphere but I think the speakers were tuned too loud and the bass too strong, which actually hurt my ears, and make dinner conversation very hard at scene. If the music can be tone down just a little, it will elevate the whole dinning experience. Regardless, still appreciate Fremont has such a place for gatherings. Do note that a lot of their skewers has peanuts, so my husband ended up taking my daughter to M Dumplings next door for dinner since she has peanut allergies.

    Came back for more and I have a new favorite! Updating my order so I remember for next time haha. Also food comes out super fast on a weekday night This time we ordered: Beef skewers (12) A-choy (love the a-choy) Chives (a-choy was better so we'll stick to that next time) Prawns (my new fav, perfectly seasoned and crispy!) King Oyster mushrooms (I don't think it was cooked enough this time around, but still good)

    Oh my gosh! First time here and all the food is so delicious and flavorful! The seasoning on these skewers and dishes is seriously soo good. Very authentic feel too to the restaurant, not just the taste but the decoration throughout the store is so thoughtfully designed and such a vibe. All the skewers were so delicious , was a bit adventurous bc my friend said that the intestine here was good and the croaker fish! I am a bit scared to eat fish due to bones, but the bones in this fish are so tender that they can be eaten. The intestine I would say is the best one I've had so far! Loved it! The cauliflower skewer was really yummy too and the hot jasmine tea was nice. All the servers here are soo pretty! Which is an added bonus haha, but the service is also super quick food comes out hot and fresh! Gotta come back soon definitely!! Soo good !! Love love

    Doubt I'll be back for several reasons: 1. tiny skewers, expected more meat on them. It was definitely tasty, well seasoned, just need to order a lot to get full. 2. very loud singers. Truly beautiful voices but cound not hear even myself when speaking. Service was alright.

    Come for late night eats and lots of shots! Food on skewers. Fun for a large group if you want to drink and have small bites. Service is nice and fast. Love the way this place looks and they were playing really good music. Open late!

    Pauline T.

    This review should've been posted earlier, but this is my go to spot for Chinese skewers :) Food: The menu is pretty diverse. My favorites are the premium marbled beef, pork belly, and cauliflower. Both meats are always very soft and easy to bite off the skewer. Be warned though, pretty much everything here has the same seasoning/can be salty and the meat is small (these aren't big kebabs or anything), so you're out of luck if you don't like strong cumin flavor or are expecting big yakitori style skewers. The restaurant is called LITTLE SKEWER for a reason! I think to accompany the skewers, you definitely need to get the malatang pot. It's filled with glass noodles, different types of fish cake, sausage, thinly sliced beef, Napa cabbage, and the soup is nice and numbing. I don't know if it's because I was really hungry but this was so good and I'll be ordering it every time I come back. Service: Service here is good. The servers are friendly and even played games with some customers when I was there. The skewers also come out relatively quickly. Restaurant/cleanliness: the restaurant itself is themed well like you're in an ancient Chinese drama. I've never had this issue before but I guess some rice had gotten stuck to our water cups and I only saw that as I was about to drink. There was also some sponge piece that had gotten stuck to the soup ladle we were given. The servers were really apologetic about that.

    Came here for late night skewers at around 10:15 pm with friends! Ordering is done via a tablet provided to each table. First time I've seen so many alcohol shots offered in the way they do here. We ordered cauliflower, pork, beef, squid, chicken, and wagyu beef skewers. The one wagyu beef skewer option was much larger than the batches of regular skewers. The skewers are definitely representative of the restaurant's name. Enoki mushroom hot plate was topped with a plentiful amount garlic. Cucumber salad was enough for all of us to share. Staff was attentive and refilled our teapot whenever it was empty. Will be back to get our late night skewers fix!

    Flavorful and delicious skewers but small portions. My friends and I honestly enjoyed the veggie and tofu skewers even more than the beef! The seasonings were more fragrant on those. Looks like great food to pair with some alcohol. Nice and spacious place with fun decorations. The workers don't really attend to you at all.

    My new favorite skewer spot! Chewers were not too oily , perfectly seasoned Would skip out on the egg/sauge/veggie roll Mala soup was really good! Raw surf claws was okay liked the texture but needed more sauce or something to make this dish stand out Oysters 5/5 Service was really good Cute Chinese decor inside

    Chicken skin
    Eddi-ray C.

    Honestly the food was pretty alright, I'd say the chicken skin, the bread and the lamb ended up being the top 3 for me. The restaurant itself looks awesome! Very cool vibes and it feels like it'd be a great drinking night to be at. Unfortunately we had a bug floating around our water pot and it just kept trying to drown itself in our cups of water. It was also hard to get service and they forgot to bring some of our food, but when they did get to us at least they were fast to help out when we eventually got to ask them.

    Honestly, this place wasn't too bad. Price wasn't too crazy for a skewer place, albeit i haven't been to many skewer spots. Only downside that made me dock off two stars is because of the amount of meat that were on each skewers. I would have personally liked less skewers but with a fatter portion of meat in it. The small amount of meat made them all pretty dry. My friend and i ended up getting the following skewers: lamb, marbled beef, chicken, a choy and cauliflower. Honestly i hate to say but the cauliflower was probably our favorite with how tasty and flavorful it was. All the meat skewers were pretty dry until you start ordering the single sticks with the more premium meat, which we got two lamb ones. Not bad but not great either. We got the corn cheese and that was pretty decent. Service was pretty good. Everything came out pretty quickly and there was no wait when we came for dinner on a monday at 7:30p. Place has a decent amount of parking space, shared with the other two businesses in the plaza.

    I went here with my boyfriend and we enjoyed our time there. It wasn't busy during the time that we went, so we got a table immediately. The place was pretty spacious with many tables to sit from. They also have a stage where you can do karaoke! Food(10/10): There's a tablet where you can add your order onto, so I think it's pretty convenient if you don't want to call for a server every time. I think my favorite would be oysters. It tasted pretty fresh and I liked the amount of garlic they added on top of it. The meat was pretty tender and nicely seasoned. The squid was not for me though, but my boyfriend enjoyed it! I just thought it was tough to chew through and rubbery. Service(10/10): Can't really complain about the service. They were really friendly and fast with their service. We didn't wait long for our orders as well! It's also cool they had their napkins and utensils in a drawer hidden within the table! At the end of our dinner, we were given air fresheners which was nice! Overall, I would come here again if I was in the area!

The restaurant was empty except for one other party, and we chose to sit in the lounge seating area, which features traditional Afghan seating that is low to the ground, casual, and unique--perfect for a date. The menu offered a wide variety of food, including vegetarian dishes. We enjoyed the chicken kabob, which came with rice and cucumber salad, and the eggplant, which also came with rice. Both were served with Afghan bread. As an appetizer, we ordered the potato Bolani, which was stuffed with potato and leek. It was also good, although slightly greasy. It's important to note that, presumably for religious reasons, they don't serve alcohol. The restaurant ambiance was peaceful and the service was good. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. One suggestion that might help bring in more lunchtime customers would be to offer lunch specials.

My family and I, two adults and two young children, came here during Ramadan for iftaar. Before arriving, I specifically called ahead to ask whether we needed to come early because I understood restaurants can become very busy during iftaar time. I was told that arriving 10 to 15 minutes before iftaar would be perfectly fine and that our food would be ready around the time of breaking fast. Based on that reassurance, we came about 20 minutes before iftaar expecting a smooth experience. Instead, the moment we walked in, it felt like we were invisible. The restaurant was crowded but not chaotic. We sat down and waited while servers walked past us repeatedly without acknowledging us. Eventually, I had to flag someone down myself just to place an order. I even asked directly how long the food would take because we were fasting all day and had two small children with us. The server confidently assured us the food would arrive around iftaar time. That never happened. When iftaar finally arrived, all we received were dates and water. No appetizers, no main dishes, nothing. We continued waiting while table after table around us received their food. Meanwhile, our children became increasingly upset and hungry. Anyone with young kids knows that after a full day of fasting, asking them to wait another 20, 30, even 50 minutes is nearly impossible. Our kids were crying, exhausted, and confused as they watched other families eat while we sat there with empty plates. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of honesty and accountability. Every time we asked about our order, we were told, "It's coming soon." Then eventually the server disappeared entirely for nearly 20 minutes and avoided us altogether. A woman later approached us, but instead of apologizing or taking our concerns seriously, she became dismissive and defensive. By this point, nearly 50 minutes had passed since we ordered, and she still insisted we "shouldn't complain" (in Farsi) because the food would come "soon." That response was honestly more upsetting than the delay itself. A simple apology, honesty, or basic compassion toward a fasting family with small children would have gone a long way. We eventually left the restaurant feeling humiliated, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. What saddened me most is that this happened during Ramadan, a month centered around patience, generosity, hospitality, and good character. In Afghan culture and Islamic ethics, guests are supposed to be treated with dignity and care, especially during iftaar. Halal is not only about the food being permissible. Halal is also about honesty, fairness, respect, and how people are treated. Sadly, this restaurant failed in all of those areas. We will never return, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for respectful service or a welcoming family environment.

We came in on Saturday at 11:30 to an empty restaurant, but by noon it was packed. We ordered the mantu, bolani, a few kabobs, and the lamb shank challow. The appetizers were great - the mantu had a great flavor and felt very hearty. The leek and butternut squash felt homey and warm - our waitress said they were her favorite, and were so glad she gave us that recommendation! The leek paired nicely with the yogurt provided, as it was a little spicy and had an aroma pretty similar to chives. The squash bolani was slightly sweet, and almost felt like an in-between for dessert. Having both was a nice contrast. By far the murgh (chicken) kabob was our favorite skewer, as it was the juiciest meat, and quite tender. The table ranked the chaplee (ground meat, with a hint of spice) next in terms of flavor and texture, and teka (tri tip) was slightly more dry and bland compared to everything else. The lamb shank was quite tender but smaller than expected for the price; it still had a nice homey flavor though I prefer when restaurants provide more of that braised juice to go alongside the dish. I don't eat cilantro, so had requested there to be no cilantro in any dishes, but they said they couldn't remove it from the salad, so was a little sad about that.
