Nice hidden late night spot in Arcadia! Service was good, though they didn't check up on us often. The food was good for the price as the meat portion was big - the skewers come already seasoned so you don't have to add anything. Definitely recommend beef, lamb, intestine, chicken skin, & their cucumber appetizer! read more

M Bar BBQ was a great experience. Apparently they are open from 3PM to 2AM! We came in shortly after opening for a Sunday dinner. The location is in a small complex with a few businesses. Inside M Bar are plenty of tables and music videos playing. Everything is done via scanning a QR code to place orders to the kitchen. Staff will bring out your skewers once ready. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised as with all the skewers we ordered. Everything tasted great and was grilled nicely. The staff were great the whole time. We tried: Lamb Beef Beef & Mushroom Corn Kernels Chicken Quail Eggs. I recommend all of these if you're a fan of this items. I think this truly a hidden gem and nice spot to hang out for a family style type of setting. I'd recommend giving them a try since they are open til the late night/early morning. Thanks, M Bar BBQ!

Great food and nice people here. I ordered BBQ lamb and Beijing style fried sauce noodle. Super love the lamb, juicy and soft. The noodle is covered in plenty sauce and minced pork, and shredded cucumber. Plus, it is inexpensive at all. I Would definitely come back next time. read more

M Bar BBQ - BBQ Lamb extra spicy. - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Wow, a wonderful gem here in Arcadia/San Gabriel! I have been going to Meet You BBQ for skewers, but I might have to start coming here now! Service is ok. You order on the QR code anyway. Skewers are 4 for $7.99, which is on the pricier side imo. I loved the lamb soup. It was a big bowl for $14.99. I also got the spicy vermicelli $14.99, which had a lot of fatty meat. It was good but could have been spicier. I didn't like that I had to ask for the bbq seasoning. I think they should just keep it at every table. I think I might have missed the white buns on the menu? I would have liked to order that. I also want to try the shredded potato dish next time! -Small parking lot, next to HOP cafe -Closes really late, like 4AM -Credit card/Apple Pay accepted -Bathroom in the back read more

The beef and lamb and skewers were actually a pleasing start here, but I could tell the seafood wasn't fresh & didn't eat to many. I had one of the big oysters and some clams and ended up with food poisoning for days. Would not recommend this spot to anyone else. read more

M Bar BBQ is a lively Chinese snack bar that seems to specialize in skewers. The environment is very loud with both loud customers and loud music. They were playing the best of Andy Lau on the day of my visit. If you know you know. The staff here were all super friendly and nice. There was a QR code for me to scan and order, but staff came along to check on me sufficiently. They brought me water and complimentary nuts and pickled veggies. I ordered Garlic Cucumber Salad ($7.99), Oysters ($14.99/4 piece), Chicken Skin ($6.99/4 skewers), Pork Belly ($6.99/4 skewers), Shao Bing, Chicken Gizzards ($6.99/3 skewers), Chicken Hearts ($7.99/3 skewers), Tornado Potato ($3.50/1 skewer), Squid ($5.99/1 skewer) and Beef ($7.99/4 skewers). For the record I tried a little bit of everything and mostly took it togo, but I was curious about so many of the menu items I over ordered. They were a bit heavy on seasoning but it was mostly tasty and super flavorful. This is definitely the spot to go to if you want to catch up with friends and get a little rowdy. I can definitely see myself coming back for more snackies. read more

I was craving for BBQ skewers, and found this place on yelp. The good reviews caught my eyes. The restaurant was not too busy when I came by. There is a small parking lot available, and parking was very easy. We placed the order online. We ordered beef, lamb, chicken skin, chicken gizzard, short ribs, egg fried rice, and siubang. Food was served promptly on a hot plate to keep the food warm. I am a big fan of chicken gizzard, but the chicken gizzard was decent without surprise. The beef and lamb were very flavorful, tender, and juicy. The lamb was more lean, and the beef had more fat in it. The chicken skin was very crispy that was like chips! The siubang was tasty, but it had some spice that will numb your tongue. Finally, egg fried rice was such a big surprise that the rice was very moist, and it was very flavorful! My server was impressive that she was very attentive of what I need and she offered me things before I asked for them. For example, she brought me an extra spoon and bowl to eat my fried rice. Mandarin music was playing in the background, which made me feel at home. read more

No water No yuzu jinro even though it's on the menu. I ordered the yuzu and the server brought me the grapefruit flavored soju. When I talked the the server, she said it's the same as grapefruit. I told her that it's not the same as grapefruit. I didn't argue. I just drank it. The beef skewer was smoky, flavorful, tender and not overcooked. Seasoning was acceptable. Some places overdo it with the cumin. This restaurant has the cumin flavor but not overpowering. read more

First review of 2026 So my friend and I were hungry and was hankering for some chinese skewers last night. This place was surprisingly really good, reasonably priced, and the vibes were chill. Open late that has a cute chinese bar vibe with drinks and good food. Service was on point too. This place reminded me of the late night skewer places with lounge vibe in China. I love those places when i go. We found this place on yelp and tbh was hesitant at first because it was new and it didnt have a lot of reviews. There has been alot of skewers places popping up and most are over saucy or powdered to mask the food. But it was closer to where we were so we decided to give it a try. The place is pretty authentic and you know it is if its has local chinese customers walking in and ordering like they do in China. Lol i actually love the skewers places in China. Everything we ordered was surprisingly good. The spices and seasonings were not overpowering and well balanced. They let you order off a paper menu written in English and Chinese or on their qr code. The qr code is better because you can earn points and actually may get discount on your first order. Also the qr code allows you to easily you make adjustments to seasonings like if you want no spicy or less seasoning or no onion etc... removes the hassle of verbally remembering to communicate it. My friend and i were really surprised how good everything tasted and the price of alcohol and food was very reasonable. Even bottle water was like $.50 for Kirkland water. Some other places has the audacity to charge up to $2-3 for that. All in all will be back. read more

New late night skewer spot in the 626. They gave us a free mala peanut appetizer which was fun to snack on while we waited for our food. Lamb skewers were seasoned well! I ordered the MaLa cold noodles and they are delicious. Def will be back to try the other items on the menu. I'd say everything is reasonably priced :) read more

My family came to M Bar BBQ after a late concert since they're open until 2AM. From the outside it's hard to tell they're open because the windows are blacked out, but once inside it's clean, and spacious, with plenty of parking out front. This is a Chinese BBQ skewer spot, but instead of a tabletop charcoal grill, they cook the skewers for you and serve them on a hot plate to keep them warm. We got lamb, beef, pork belly, quail eggs, scallops, plus the garlic cucumber salad--everything was really good, and the cucumber salad was a standout. Our daughter got the potato tornado, but they put a bit too much of their spicy sauce on it (same with the quail eggs). The flavor was good, just a little heavy-handed, so next time we'd ask them to go light on the sauce. You order by scanning a QR code and adding items from your phone, which made it super easy to keep ordering more. Service was good and friendly. The vibe was fun, with '80s Chinese music videos playing karaoke-style on the TVs, which gave the place a nostalgic, late-night hangout feel. Great late-night spot for skewers--we'd come back read more

Five stars for their food. Five stars for their decorations and TV entertainment. Four stars for their service. We really want to come back and support small businesses, but we really dislike drinking water with disposable cups in a decent restaurant!?!? Eating with disposable plates and bowls. Please consider take them away. Hopefully they will remove them ASAP. We just went back and they removed all the disposable plates and bowls. Thank you . read more

M Bar BBQ - Beef, lamb & popcorn chicken - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

This our second time going to M Bar. Highly recommend it. It use to be a hot pot spot in Arcadia. Not sure what happen but M Bar is good food for skewers. I love that the meat on the skewers are not too fatty and not so small. Some placed has gone cheap and result is not good. I hope M Bar keeps the portion. I'm willing to pay if it's good food. Now I HIGHLY recommend their oyster (cook) w garlic. It takes a while but worth the wait. It's fresh, yummy and not fishy. We also tried the chicken gizzard. First time it was cooked so prefect. Second time it was not fully cooked or it wasn't as fresh, i was a little disappointed. I LOVe a good gizzard!! Lastly their fresh fish soup was super delicious. I don't eat spicy and they made it super yummy. The only thing I would recommend is a little more veggie and possible more vermicelli. Overall, it's one of the better skewers place so far in SGV. They need a snack bar for like peanuts or chips so ppl can chill and drink. Lol (*I don't drink) but I see the potential. Can't wait to come back again. read more

I loved the variety of food available and flavors. I particularly liked the lamb skewers and the instant noodle stir fry. Service was prompt and the server was really sweet. My favorite part was the ease of ordering on our phones - it was cool that the table was linked up so everyone at the table could add to the cart. My American pallet found the mild to be pretty spicy so keep that in mind if you struggle with spice. read more

Amazing service, food, and environment! Very helpful with their recommendations. Only open since 12/25.

Honestly I really want to give them 5 stars. But the disposable plates and bowls really need to take away one star. Hopefully they know that it is absolutely not a good idea to use them. They are not good for health and not good for the environment. Please stop using them to serve food in your restaurant. Thank you. read more

A random choice turned into a new favorite restaurant! M Bar is very authentic (even the receipt is in Chinese) and has a lot of traditional options for food. We got the garlic cucumber salad, bbq skewers, and a couple dumpling options. We loved it all! We also were recommended IPA, and had such a great experience overall. I really loved the beef wrapped enoki mushrooms. So delicious, and the language barrier wasn't a problem. We'll be coming back soon!! read more

M Bar BBQ - Sea Snails and Oysters - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

definitely more heavy on spice and numbing flavors. personally i don't mind, but fair warning!! i thought the item choices were standard with a few standouts. i was pleasantly surprised by the stir fried instant noodle. the beef, lamb, and chicken were all safe and great choices. the chicken skin was interesting. i believe im used to the soft chicken skin skewer so the crunchy style wasn't quite my fav. the restaurant is bright and the service is constant. i love how on top of it, it was. ALSO ask for a water cup, don't order the water on the menu, you'll get charged!! read more

Great service between the couple. They hustle to get the food out. Fav were the chicken skin, beef skewer and cucumber salad. It was a lively night when we were here almost a full house. read more

New ownership, mostly the same food and still the same amazing quality! Price reasonably well for the amount of food you get. Definitely on the bargain side for similar restaurants in the area.
