I came here for a late night meal for the first time and it was scrumptious. We were seated quickly and ordered everything thru the ipad. I liked how the skewers were much smaller than normal and made eating it so much fun! We got: Beef skewers: 10/10 super flavorful and tender pork belly skewers: 10/10 nice char and flavor cauliflower skewers 100/10 I was not expecting this to be sooo crispy and grilled tornado potato 10/10 so well seasoned and cheaper than the night markets Spicy Buldak noods Corn cheese 10/10 so yummy Chicken skin skewer 10/10 so crispy Bogo beers made our drinks $2.50 each! Would definitely come back to this spot everything was so delicious! read more

Parking: Little Skewers is located in a small plaza along with an Asian supermarket and several other restaurants. Parking can get crowded during meal times. Interior: The interior is quite spacious and has a very rustic feel to it. The tables were slightly sticky but the dishes and utensils seem pretty clean. Service: You order everything on a tablet and the servers will bring it over to the table and put them all onto a plate for us to share. They did not really tell us what they were bringing so I was not really sure exactly what I was eating. Food: Some of the skewers were huge in terms of portions and some had very little food on it. I wasn't exactly sure what I was eating but the food was decent. Definitely give this place a try if you like Chinese skewers. read more

Their foods are consistently good. Services are great. The restaurant is cute. But the hanging tissues box looks very dirty. I think they should remove them or they need to change it often. The main reason why I gave them 4 stars-- the disposable cups??? I don't understand why they serve water with disposable cups. It is very not environmentally friendly. Please remove them ASAP. Hopefully the management will see my review and remove them immediately. We will come back again. read more

Service was really quick from when we ordered. Got the buy one get one free beers and it came out right away. Food was seasoned and cooked well. It's so fun to keep chewing on yummy flavors. Great karaoke music was playing and the vibe was great from the servers. I wish there was more water at the table, the first pot ran out very quickly. There was lots of reaching across the table to either throw the skewers or get more meat. A better layout would be more preferable. Overall hoping to eat more season meats soon! read more

Stopped by here with my friends after pottery class since it was open late. I've been to the Monterey Park location and that one usually is packed. This location was busy but not as packed and we didn't have to wait. We ordered the: golden soup: was perfect to share. It was filled with pork belly, vermicelli noodles, napa cabbage and some other fish balls. cucumbers salad: garlicy and crunchy- perfect additional to balance down the skewers. beef skewers and pork skewers- Both were flavorful but very little meat on it. Overall, it was a good late night meal. Service can be a little slow when it's a busy night. read more

I think this place is a great skewer spot especially considering its price. The skewers were almost 50 cents to a dollar each. I do think the portions are really small and everything tasted rather sweet even after dipping all the spice seasoning they provided. The inside is really spacious and u order everything on an ipad anyways so its great for a nice casual skewer spot if you want something reliable and cheap. read more

So, first impression? A bit much -- there was a guy walking around singing tableside, and let's just say I briefly considered tipping him to take a break. But hey, he was committed to the bit, so I respect the hustle. Food-wise, everything was solid -- not mind-blowing, but perfectly fine. The skewers were decent, though nothing that'll haunt my dreams (in a good way). Prices lean a little high for what you get, but nothing felt like a rip-off or a mistake. All in all, it's a perfectly okay spot -- just maybe bring headphones if you're not in the mood for dinner and a show. read more

Cute decor, great place to go for a date or a night out with friends! However, if you are looking to make conversation, it might be difficult as the live music is quite loud. Overall vibes are nice though. Although they place small candles under the skewers, the stove isn't nearly hot enough to keep them warm. Food is pretty good and cucumber salad is a must. I would probably skip the corn cheese next time. The lamb hot pot had a very distinct lamb flavor. Surprisingly, I really liked the vegetarian skewers, including the corn, oyster mushrooms and cauliflower. You can't go wrong with any of the skewers! Don't forget to ask for additional seasoning to dip your skewers in! read more

Little Skewers is one of my favorite places to eat whenever I'm visiting a friend in the area. The food is always delicious, and the lamb skewers are easily my favorite thing on the menu. They're perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and something I find myself craving long after I leave. The atmosphere is casual and fun, making it a great spot to grab a meal and catch up with friends. If I'm nearby, there's a good chance I'm stopping here for lamb skewers. Highly recommend! read more

Little Skewer - Chinese Near Me - Monrovia, California

This is the third location I been to for little skewer, the decorations are very nice and pretty comfortable. No cleaning odor lingering at all. The customer service was good as well. One thing was not done right was the seasoning for the chicken skin and it was barely seasoned but that's the only flaw. The beef and and Cali flower was good as well. read more

This is my first time here to try its skewers. It was awesome. The restaurant is located inside a strip mall and plenty of parking spaces. The menu offers a lot of choices and the highlight of the dishes are the enoki mushroom and eggplants. The meat was awesome too. The environment is trendy with a bit of causal feel which was great. The service is attentive. read more

Can't wait to come back!! Everything was delicious and came out pretty quickly. You order through the tablet and can adjust the seasoning and spice level of each order. The potato and the chicken skin are must tries since u can't get them at many other places. Would pass on the scallop since it was mostly noodles with a baby scallop. read more

SOLID 4 Star restaurant. Tried this last night and really enjoyed it. They had a great Saturday nite singer and food tasted good. Cucumber dish was fantastic and am not a vegi person. You order by a pad and the food comes out fairly quick. You can adjust seasonings. They do not need a lot of help, but the girls working there were very helpful and nice. We will definitely come back!! read more

Food and service honestly aren't bad, but it's damn near impossible to enjoy any of it when the speaker for the singer is SOOOOOOO loud. Like holy fuck. You can barely hear the person sitting across from you. Whoever decided this volume level was appropriate needs to seriously reconsider their life choices. The manager should be fired for letting the place sound like a concert venue instead of a restaurant. read more

I've been to the Monterey Park location but never this one, looks like this one is more new! i came on a thur evening & it was super chill, more peaceful than the one in monterey park, which I preferred after a long day of work haha. Anyways, you just order your skewers from a tablet and it comes out super quickly, all the skewers were great, had a nice spicy flavor. My favs were the pork intestine, oyster mushroom, and lamb! All the skewers were tasty though! (5/5) Garlic enoki mushrooms were also so delish, love me some garlic! Service was super efficient, you can ring them in with the wall buttons and also the napkins hang off from the ceiling in a box which is pretty cool. Traditional yet silly decor throughout the restaurant! Overall had a nice time here and can always rely on this place for their efficiency. read more

We came to celebrate a girlfriend's bday. She loves to drink sake. This place hit the spot! Great food! A whole Bunch of different skewers from meats lamb, beef, chicken skin, pork intestine, corn, king mushroom, which can be ordered with original flavors, no spicy, or omit different spices. We got most with no spicy as not our whole party eats spicy food but asked for chili oil on the side. Sides of veggies: chives, eggplant, enoki mushroom. Drinks: sake, Sapporo on draft in a pitcher --win! Dessert: loved the fried taro balls!! Woooow! The cookies and cream shaved ice was also delicious! Great service! You order on the iPad and submit. Your dishes/drinks will come within minutes. Great ambiance! Felt like I was in China with their decor going back to the old Chinese movies I have watched with the alcohol bottles on the wall. There was live music by some Chinese entertainers both in Chinese and English songs. Very entertaining indeed! read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday since I was craving lamb skewers and wanted to give this place a try. First, the interior is very well decorated and makes you feel as though you've traveled to a very nice and clean tavern. I loved the punny signs on the walls and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was beautiful. The food was alright. The skewers were tiny and have the tiniest amount of meat, which was disappointing. They were also very salty and the meat was tough. The stinky tofu dish was surprisingly the highlights of the night. I had never eaten stinky tofu before, but the stinky tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There was no overly strong smell and was very delightful. We ended up ordering this dish 3 times throughout the meal. The enoki mushrooms were good and had a great amount of garlic on it, but was also on the salty and oily side. The duck blood was perfectly cooked, but unfortunately, I cannot handle the numbing mala spice very well so I was not able to finish this dish. I'm not sure if I missed that there's mala spice in the description or if it is simply not written, but do be warned that it's spicy. The scallops were okay, nothing much to write home about. While I didn't order any alcohol, I did see that they have a pretty cool and large alcohol menu. The table next to us ordered the multiple mini shots that looked very fun to drink if you're looking for a night out with some friends. The main letdown of the night was the service unfortunately. The waiters were inattentive and were seen laughing and talking amongst one another while we kept waving, calling out to them, and pressed the buzzer. Even when we walked to the bar area, they did not notice my friend asking for a water refill until he almost went past the bar area trying get their attention. Our plates were never cleared until the end of the meal, and we order 24 items in total so we had a lot of dishes piling up. We were a group of 7 sitting right in front of the bar area and we could clearly see the waiters, but they were so engrossed in their conversations that it was very hard to get their attention every time we wanted to ask for anything. And because the food was quite salty, we did ask for the water pitcher to be refilled quite a few times. Overall, I don't know if I will be back since the service was an extreme letdown. The food was alright. I think the main star of this place is the interior decor and it might be cool to bring a friend to drink and catch up with here. I hope this place is able to improve their service and maybe make the food a little less salty, then hopefully this place will be more popular. read more

Incredibly flavorful food, affordable prices and quick service. Once seated you place your order on the iPad and can customize the spice/heat per dish. Food & drinks show up quickly, you don't have to order everything at once and can continue to add items at ease since you're not dependent on flagging down a server. We loved everything we ate; Pork Belly skewers, cucumber salad, Enoki mushrooms & Surf Clam Skewers. We'll be back to try more items soon! Friday night there was a live singer belting out Y2K pop hits which often leads to crowd sing alongs. Good to know: napkins are hanging above each table (we had to ask where to locate them), large decorative receptacle on each table for your used skewer sticks. read more

I'd been to the other location, but this one was the only one opened for lunch. I hadn't been back to SoCal in a minute, but my bf and I were very eager to be back. Safe to say, nothing has changed. The food was so so good. The sleepers are definitely the cauliflower and the fish tofu. Delish. The short ribs, too! Expensive, but now I can't get over them. Will always order that the next time I go. Service was a teeny bit slow, but I think that was because we had just come right when they opened. But honestly, it's always a good experience at Little Skewers. read more

Second time back at this location since the soft opening, and it's a lot better now! It's pretty similar to Little Skewers in Monterey Park but way less crowded. We came for dinner on a Friday and only waited about five minutes for a table of eight -- not bad at all. The skewers were warm, flavorful, and much better than last time. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall vibe was great. They even had a live singer performing both English and Chinese songs, which added to the atmosphere. Service was quick too. Definitely coming back again -- closer to home and way less of a wait! read more

I really liked the decorations in this restaurant. It just has a fun vibe. When we came in the restaurant was mostly empty, service was fast and pretty hands off. There's a tablet at your table that you can order from. We got the lamb skewers, pork intestines and the chicken cartilage. The lamb skewers were fine but nothing to write home about - a little bit dry. Pork intestines and chicken cartilage were much better. And we also got a corn cheese that was really tasty. Overall, it's a nice spot just not really outstanding for the price. read more

Went Tuesday night around 6:30pm and didn't have to wait for a table. Food came out quickly using the iPad ordering system. I ordered plenty of items for my brother and I, with our bill coming out to just over $100. Beef, Stinky tofu, chicken skin, oysters, scallops, beef aorta, duck blood, lamb soup mug, squid and matcha red bean snow dessert. The seasoning we got was regular, they also have options for no cumin and spicy. Regular was spicy enough and had good Sichuan chili flavor! The price for food items are reasonable but the meat on the skewers like the beef seemed anemic, where the beef?! My favorite dish was the juicy duck blood, smoother than pork blood and comes sliced in a nice tray hot enough to burn your mouth. They have plenty of drink options that would go well with Sichuan flavors but didn't opt for them and stick with water. Each table has a button to call for service which was useful to get the bill at the end. Parking was in lot shared with the Good Fortune Supermarket and other businesses. read more

A cute place for friends gathering. Themed and Interesting decor inside. We ordered directly from the ipad. Also can add orders as you go. We ordered one set each of lamb and beef for 4 people which is not enough and had to add more! The corn is a must try and fun to eat too! I would like to see more vegetables options. My friend who is a meat eater had to eat two skewers at same time since so tiny meat on each skewer. For me, amount of meat on each skewer is ok. Service is fast and friendly. For the second order, i thought it may take some time. But it actually came out pretty fast. Ample parking in the strip mall parking lot. There is a supermarket in the same plaza so parking spots in that corner could be limited. read more

Little skewer is a great place for people that can eat a lot and like spicy grilled food. I personally think its a great place for friends gathering ... however its not a good place for couples on dates since its not intimate and the air temperature was on the warmer side. They have live performance on Friday night which was alrigjt... but it didn't captivate me with the voice. I think this is great for large groups of.people that really enjoy Chinese skewers. read more

Apparently this place is really popular in other cities like Monterey Park and El Monte, especially with younger crowds. We decided to give it a try after church since our son is a fan of their meat skewers. Service was quick and efficient, and the décor definitely leans into the Chinese street-food vibe--lots of drinking-related signs and quirky sayings like "Real Girl Eats Meat" and "Nice to Meat You." The BBQ skewers are small but tasty and a great value--20 lamb skewers for just $9! The spicy cucumber with peanuts was surprisingly good and refreshing, and I really enjoyed the grilled mushrooms. They also serve sweet tea drinks, which my son loved. it's a fun and casual spot to hang out. I heard they sometimes even have live music, which sounds like a good excuse to come back again. read more

Little Skewer - Sign - Chinese Near Me - Monrovia, California

This is the place I'd come back to when I'm craving meat and Chinese spices! It was really easy to order food through the tablet. The button assigned to the table was very helpful when we needed to get the server's attention. The portions of everything justified the price. The cucumber was very fresh and had a nice pickily, spicy, and sweet flavor to it, which helped balance the spices from the meat. I thought it was a nice option to remove some spices from the meat, just in case your palate can't handle it. All of the skewers were tender and very delicious. The one thing I'd recommend is ordering your meat with gaps in between, because by the end of our meal, the meat had gotten cold. What my girlfriend and I loved about this place was the hired singer. You could request songs that made the entire restaurant light up. We'll for sure come back to this place! read more

Flavor wise it was great. I feel like the dishes we ordered had the same bbq seasoning, very delicious and flavorful. The reason i gave it a 4star is because we felt like the meats were a bit too dry, to the point they stuck to the skewers. The veggie and quail egg was a good add-on, my sister ended up ordering another quail egg skewer. Overall, still pretty good. I do wish they had the cold noodle, liang pi that i tried from their monterey park location read more

How awesome it is to have a Little Skewer location here in Monrovia? Although, the location is one of the smallest one in size compared to their other places, I think I still like this one the best because they have friendlier staff. They're still in their soft opening stage so their menu may have less food options. I also feel their air conditioning may not be functioning properly because it felt hot and stuffy, but I am sure it is something they will fix down the line. I love how they have a live singer so it may my dining experience more pleasant. I'll definitely be back! read more

This new location in Monrovia/Arcadia is smaller than the OG Monterey Park location, but we gave it a try thinking that the wait would be shorter. Given that the restaurant is so small, we still had to wait at least 30 minutes for a party of 10. When we were seated, it felt more cramped than the other location since there are no dividers between tables like they have at the MPK location. I also thought it was interesting that they have napkins hung on the ceiling in sacks, which is only controlled by the people on the edges of the table. Between a group of 10, we had two heated trays. But when we ordered our food, the server didn't bother splitting up the orders for us, so one side will have all the lamb skewers while the other side had the beef skewers. They also didn't bother telling us what was brought out, so we had to ask each time. We also noticed that the menu was smaller than the MPK location, but had some other unique items such as the stinky tofu. I also enjoyed their taro balls! But skip the golden mantou because those were dry and terrible, not even the condense milk could save them. Food came out relatively quickly, and we enjoyed ourselves in good company. I think it's still their soft opening, so it's understandable that they have adjustments to make. But it was unfortunate that they tapped out of their draft beers (blue moon and Sapporo) and didn't get refills kegs going on a Friday night, so our table had to default to individual glass bottles. Overall, I think the MPK location has better aesthetic, a larger menu, and more entertainment (live music on some nights), and would opt to go there instead. But this is a nice second location for those who live closer to Arcadia/monrovia. read more

We stopped by tonight, the 3rd night of their soft opening in this new location in Monrovia. This is their 4th store. They took over the old restaurant that used to be here, Shanghai Gourmet. We ordered lamb skewers, beef skewers, mushroom skewers, oyster, scallop, taros balls and cucumber salad. The oyster and cucumber salad were my favorites. The oyster was warm, sweet and savory. I loved the flavor, temperature and the texture. I would order two next time. The cucumber salad was mildly spicy, sweet, garlicy and savory. It was mixed with crunchy peanuts. The entire flavor profile and combination just worked! I also got the orange peel pu-ar tea. It wasn't bitter and the portion was so large I took the leftovers to go in a huge soup container! The tea came with the tiniest cups. The ambiance was great. The theme was Chinese and old school yet felt charming. It's a Chinese version of a pub. Great aesthetics. Service was excellent. Tip: If you like more spice, ask the server for hot child flakes and more cumin! read more
