Scallop
Francine L.

A cool Chinese-style skewer spot in the city of San Gabriel. This was my first time here, and it was located in a plaza with an underground parking lot. The top area was quite full but the bottom still had some spots. Came here for dinner and really enjoyed the food. I liked the chicken skin, fries, scallops, and plenty of other items. Come with a nice-sized group so you can try a little bit of everything. Service was nice and they also serve alcohol here.

One of my usual spot for Chinese BBQ and came here for multiple times after works. We loved the roasted spicy fish. My favorite is chicken skin and it's so crispy. Great place to drink with friends because they always have the special. The service was great and we enjoyed dinning in.

I m very sad to see good place turn bad. At this point, I have been here several times. On my last visit, I got here around 11pm. Had to wait for the table around 15 minutes. Service was the same. Food came out fast but my one and only favorite meat quality went downhill. Beef had a lot of chewy parts which indicated inferior meat quality and I was not happy about it. All the side dishes were empty too. I have money left over in the gift card to visit one last time to give this place another chance. Hopefully it was just one off night.

We came in a little over an hour before closing and were seated right away, but were told we only had one chance to order before the kitchen shut down. It felt a bit odd given we arrived about an hour and three minutes before closing, but considering they stay open until 2am, it's understandable they have to draw the line somewhere. That aside, the food was absolutely delicious. Every skewer came out hot and packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was cooked with care. The standout dishes were definitely the grilled scallops with vermicelli and the grilled oysters. Both were smothered in an incredible garlic sauce with tons of rich, aromatic flavor. The scallops and oysters were cooked perfectly and easily the highlight of the meal. Most of the skewers were spot on in terms of texture and doneness. The only miss was the potato skewers. They tasted great, but the texture was a bit off since they came out floppy instead of crispy. Overall, this is still the best skewer spot I've been to. Great flavors, solid execution, and definitely worth coming back for.

Beef, squid legs, crispy pork belly, and cauliflower

The food here is great, but if you don't eat spicy food, you stay need to place your order and then tell a staff that you don't want spicy. There's an option on the app, but the app specifically tells you that you need to tell a server directly. I've done that every time. As for the food, most of the skewers are served all at once. The AC is blasted so the food gets cold really fast. So you either have to eat really fast or order small portions and gradually add. I've been to other skewer restaurants where they use tealights under the metal platter to keep the skewers warm, but they didn't do that here.

Came here for late night dinner. I love eating skewers while inhaling beers so I was excited to try this place. It was about an hour wait so we put our names on the waitlist and tracked our spot in line. Once seated, you are able to grab some food to much on from their snack bar. The skewers itself were decent but not as good as Mr Wang or XinJiang. However, you cannot beat their beer price!

Unfortunately have to update my review as I found out they don't have the snack bar open until later in the evenings this time around the potato swirl skewers also weren't evenly cooked so ended up soggy on some parts, crispy on others, and I could tell the crunch was from the potato being uncooked rather than crispy like a chip. I'd still come back in the future but probably only for later night meals.

Fried noodles

overall relatively decent chinese bbq skewer spot. inside is large and spacious, but not sure if it was just the saturday i went but only 1 server was there so service was quite slow, had to go up to counter a few times to ask for things. taste of food was good, quite oily though so not the healthiest. We got the large spicy fried fish Sichuan style, which was quite oily, but the flavor was good. The skewers are mixed: favorites included lamb, beef, potato spiral (recommend), cauliflower, chicken feet (super chewy), which hit quite well. not as good were the corn (did not like the sour-ish flavoring coating), chicken skin was average, chicken tongue was not terrible. fried rice and fried instant noodles were nothing spectacular but did its job. parking can be a pain so make sure to go underground.

came here again but ordered different things on their menu. Tried their oyster and it was fresh and tasty with marinated sautéed onions and garlic on top. Oyster was not overcooked. It was still soft and sweet with oyster juices. I also tried their instant noodles that were pan fried with veggies and sausages. It had good flavor with good seasoning.

scallops
Samantha H.

Not to be confused with Nice 2 Meet U a plaza down, because I was at one point. I really liked all their skewers, they came out hot and fresh after we ordered through their qr code system. They also have traditional broiled fish, but we stuck to the skewers, which were crispy and meaty! My favorite were the beef skewers and scallops.

Spicy Grilled Fish
Kristy H.

I tried Meet U BBQ a while back and was always amazed by the quality and quantity of food for the prices! My family and I love the appetizers bar, but they change it out pretty frequently, and some of the dishes like the sugared tomatoes and pickled cucumbers don't seem to be there anymore. The snacks are still fun to get though! I also recommend people try the grilled fish, the stinky tofu, and the scallops. Those are definitely slept on here! Overall, service is pretty quick and the vibe is very family-friendly. I typically park across the street at the San Gabriel Superstore because parking can be hard in that lot.

Skewers, scallop
Ana T.

One of my fav chinese skewers spot! Skewers r perfectly seasoned and not hard. The scallop also isnt too salty :) service was pretty fast too.

Tofu wrapped Enoki Chicken skewer
Sharlene D.

This restaurant is in a pretty busy plaza but there is plenty of parking in the underground garage. I waitlisted when I arrived and was seating within 10 minutes. I ordered on my phone and the food came out pretty quick! They also had an appetizer bar which was rly nice. There was a variety of apps such as mapo tofu, seaweed, cripsy chips, and desserts such a fruit and jelly. Idk where they bought their oranges but it was SO SWEET I literally ate all that was left at the bar lol. Skewers Tofu wrapped enoki mushroom 10/10! Super flavorful and delicious. The tofu skin was undercooked like how other skewer places have it. Beef 8/10: typical beef skewers that had good labor too Chicken skin 7/10: not my fave since it was a bit too crispy for me but it may be someone else's cup of tea! Beef tongue 8/10: small amount given but it was the perfect chew. I would def order this again! Fried rice 8.5/10: this rly helped balance all the flavors of the skewers. I was surprised that it wasn't so bland. I would def order this again if I came back for a palate cleanse. Cheese corn 9/10: super creamy, sweet and delicious. Def satisfied my cravings Overall this place may be my new go to skewer place!

For the dudes, don't sweat about it being called bar blossom, it's still a great place to chill and catch the game, a hidden gem. On the plus note, they do allow food inside their area.

The cucumber lycheetini and the peach mojito were super refreshing and delicious. Both were super strong but you couldn't taste the alcohol in it which made it super dangerous. The drinks weren't super sweet either and had the perfect amount of sweetness. You can really taste the cucumber and lychee in the cocktail. Same for the peach mojito. The peach flavor was apparent. My partner enjoyed the New England IPA and said it was good! Service was excellent. The bartenders there were all kind and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside the food hall and the bar section is a dedicated 21+ section so there is some dedicated bar seating. They have last call at 9:30 since they close at 10 pm on Fridays so we made sure to get our last orders in. There is plenty of parking on the side and behind the food hall and on the street. Would come back!

It is now our favorite local place to unwind with a few libations, some games and usually an enormous, delicious pretzel. The staff is next-level friendly, and it rubs off on the customers, most of which are regulars. They host so many events and always keep the menu exciting. Plus they have an awesome dog-friendly patio! Love this place. The only negative thing I'd say is that the roar of the customers against the hard-surfaced walls and ceiling can really get overwhelming at times, but whatever. Not usually a big deal. Just hit the patio if it's too noisy inside. Definitely check out the place if you haven't yet.

There was a lot of seating inside and placards on most of the tables inside saying that these are laptop-free tables. They are trying to promote being social and having a conversation. I think the tables outside didn't have these placards so that's your option if you must be on your laptop. The beer was good and the service at the bar was just ok. They have bathrooms that are not obvious but one helpful employee helped me find one.

It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.
