    Loveeee little skewers and this spot's interior is cool compared to the other locations. If there are a couple items i would recommend, it's the corn, cauliflower, and eggplant. I actually surprised it's most of the veggies, but it's seasoned to perfection!! If you had to ask which meat, the beef is always a hit and the way to go!

    From top to bottom: Lamb, beef belly, pork belly, king oyster mushroom skewers, and Golden soup pot

    Food: 5/5 Great spot for both skewers and hot pot. We got the mushroom, lamb, and beef skewers along with the golden pot, and everything came out in a timely manner. The food tasted good and consistent throughout the meal. Unfortunately, I don't think they carry the durian pizza anymore. Customer Service: 4/5 Ordering is done through a tablet now, which makes the process convenient and straightforward. Food came out at a good pace, especially before the dinner rush. Ambiance: 4/5 The vibe is rowdy, carefree, and lively -- perfect for a casual hot pot and skewer night. Best time to go is before 6:30 PM to avoid the rush. Parking in the complex can be difficult, so street parking may be needed.

    Always love coming back to our favorite restaurant, which is so unique, love the variety of skewers, my favorite being the pork and corn. Always have to order the chili oil on the side it is intense! The soup is the perfect combination with the skewers, this is the perfect meal for us! Excellent customer service. Street parking available only.

    Perfect place to go if you're looking for a fun and vibey place to drink and eat with friends. They have a wide variety of skewers to choose from but I would highly recommend the potato tornado, the cauliflower, and the chicken skin. The food comes out really fast and everything is seasoned to perfect. Absolute chefs kiss They also had a live singer when my friends and I went at night, which was a nice touch to the overall ambiance, but it can get a little rowdy if you're not into that.

    Came here craving skewers and overall had a solid experience. The skewers come out already cooked from the kitchen, which makes it easy to just sit back and eat without waiting too long. We ordered three different skewer bunches, plus two orders of fish tofu, two orders of pineapple sausage, and two beers, and that was honestly enough to get us completely full. Each skewer totals to about an average of 1-2 bites of meat. So 20 skewers doesn't end up being that much protein. Flavor-wise, everything had a nice cumin seasoning that really hit the spot. The pork skewers were the standout, super tender and juicy. Beef was the next best, still flavorful with a good bite. The lamb was on the drier side compared to the others, but still had decent taste. Total came out to $65 before tip, which felt a bit pricey for skewers and beers. Overall I'd rate it 4/5 for flavor but closer to 3/5 when considering value.

    Very delicious! I especially like the kidney skewer, golden soup pot, the tornado potato and the eggplant dish! The interior is nicely decorated too. Prices reasonable. Looking forward to returning!

    Checked out Little Skewer recently and honestly it hit the spot. The skewers came out hot, smoky, and well-seasoned -- the pork belly skewers were definitely the highlight, super tender with just the right amount of spice. Portions are good for sharing, so it's fun coming with a group and ordering a bunch to try. The vibe is lively and a little chaotic in a good way -- feels like a legit late-night hangout spot. Service was friendly and pretty efficient considering how busy it got. Only reason for 4 stars is that it can get loud and a bit cramped during peak hours, so not the best place if you want a quiet dinner. Also, people are smoking outside and the door is opened most of the time. You will be the 2nd hand smoker when you eating there. Overall, solid skewers, good prices, and great for casual nights with friends. I'd come back when I'm craving BBQ and beers.

    Chubby Skewers is always a good time...even with kids in tow. I've been here at least a dozen times in the past year, and it's one of those places that just works whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for long, relaxed chit-chats with family and friends. It's surprisingly kid-friendly. My children genuinely enjoy the food here...just be sure to ask for no spice, and you're good. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it easy to sit back, eat well, and not feel rushed. As for the food, you really can't go wrong with the skewered meats...they're consistently flavorful and satisfying. But my personal favorite? The cucumbers. They're refreshing, perfectly balanced, and somehow the combination of peanuts and cilantro just works. Simple, but done right. Overall, Chubby Skewers is a reliable, comfortable spot with good food and an easygoing vibe. Honest opinion: it's a place I keep coming back to for a reason.

    Finding street parking was easy. and I also heard there's a parking lot in the back. We were seated right away, which was a great start. Ordering was done through a tablet, and the food came out quickly. I appreciated that the staff was attentive without being intrusive. They walked around, but didn't constantly check in, which allowed our group to enjoy our conversation. If we needed anything, there was a button at the table and someone came over almost immediately. While the skewers didn't have a lot of meat on each one (barely any for pork), the food was overall good. I also liked that the dishes were placed on the grill style warmer to keep everything warm. I would recommend coming with a group so that you could try variety of items especially since many dishes need to be ordered in bulk.

    Wanted to try some place new and my friend mentioned that she had heard of Little Skewer but never got to try it out, so we decided to go. We came in around 5pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. You place your orders in through the ipad and they bring your orders right out. For the skewers we ordered the lamb, chicken skin, pork belly, and squid. We also ordered the wood ear mushrooms, stinky tofu, and durian pizza. The skewers come in batches of 10 or 20, but each skewer only has one bite of the meat on it. They were all great though, so it really just depends on preference of meat. The plates were so good as well. The wood ear mushrooms came as a mountain on a plate and was nicely marinated. The stinky tofu has a different twist to what I'm used to getting, but it works. Stinky tofu is an acquired taste though so proceed with caution if it's your first time. I am a huge fan of stinky tofu and while it's obviously not as stinky as the ones you can get in Taiwan, it definitely has that familiar scent and taste to it that's stronger than stinky tofu from other places that I've tried in the US. The durian pizza was the star of the meal for me. We had totally forgotten that the deciding factor for us in choosing this place was to try the durian pizza. It wasn't until the end of the meal that we remembered again and ordered this as our last dish of the night. It was a good thing we did, because it served as a dessert for us. The sweetness from the durian complemented the saltiness from the cheese and they balanced each other out. Honestly I could eat the whole pizza as a personal pizza for my meal, it was so good. This is the item to get at every visit from now on. It's a great spot to go out, and with how cheap the drinks are it'll be a top favorite to suggest for a larger group of friends to hang out. Now every time there's a handful of us together I always throw this place out as an option.

    There was such a long wait here on a Sunday night, but it was totally worth it. Little Skewer is my favorite place to get skewers. Once you step inside, you'll understand why it takes forever to get a table - you won't want to leave! The atmosphere of the restaurant seems specifically curated to create the perfect environment for eating and drinking. Beers were BOGO. Chinese wines were served in tea pots and dainty little saucers. Beneath the tavern lights, a lounge singer sweetly serenades the diners through the huge karaoke machine at the front of the store. Service is mostly done yourself through an iPad. You place your own order through the system and workers bring the food out to you.  Meats such as beef and lamb skewers are ordered in batches of 10 and will most likely make up the bulk of your skewers, but there are many other types of additional skewers to choose from. An unexpected favorite for me was the king oyster mushroom skewers. I don't even like mushrooms, but these king oyster mushrooms were irresistible. Biting into the springy flesh was so satisfying. The spicy, vibrant flavors and juiciness made my mouth water and crave more. The scallops, served in their shells with glass noodles, garlic, scallions, and chili paste, were addictive enough to pound back like shots. I also really liked the chicken skin skewers because the crispiness provided a nice contrast to the other dishes. And I liked the pineapple sausage so much that I ordered two. I would totally recommend Little Skewer for dinner, catching up with friends, and a good time.

    The restaurant was warmly lit, and I loved the decorations. They even had an area for karaoke. We ordered on a tablet and the food came really quickly. Everything was really well made, but I especially recommend the cucumbers, beef kidney, and rice cakes. I would've liked more skewer variety and cheaper prices, but that's it.

Ordered the potstickers, the spicy wontons, the beef noodle soup, and then jiajiang noodles. In order of preference, it is the spicy wontons, the jiajiang noodles, the potstickers, and then the beef noodle soup. What they got right with the spicy wontons was the sauce - spiced, kinda spicy, sour, and also sweet. I could use that sauce on everything. The jiajiang noodles was just a good combo of cool from the cucumbers and the noodles and minced meat were good. The beef noodle soup was fine but I think the soup could've packed a bigger punch. It felt almost watered down but I say the piece of beef were great. Overall, the meal came out to around $65 and it is pretty standard now but $13 for 8 wontons or 8 potstickers just feels a bit nuts still. Overall though, it was a solid meal and I'd recommend coming
