Eh... just not good. I got the beef sticks and they were TINY - not like the pictures showed at all. I didn't really like the squid either because it was really rubbery. Oyster mushrooms and enoki wrapped in bean curd were okay! The intestines were fine, but I think they should have grilled them more. read more

My aunt introduced this place to me. She once ordered their skewers togo. I was able to try a few of the beef skewers. It was not bad. The price was pretty appealing. I think it was 10 beef skewers for $8.99. I came here a few times now. The place gradually growing on me hahh I find myself liking this place more & more each visit. At first visit, I was like these skewers were cheap but the portion was very disappointing. I did end up trying a few more other restaurants that offered similar skewers. It was more expensive and the flavor was not as good. Also, the portion was worse. Just recently, I visited this place again. The skewers really hit the spot. The seasonings they used was fire! So tasty! I hope they stay consistent. Their other foods were decent. However, the skewers were the best, imo. Note: The cucumbers cold dish was the worst item of all the items that I have tried. Some sticks do have more meats than others. Also, service was really whatever. Could be due to language barrier. A smile would be nice as well...Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. read more

I love this place. My husband and i discovered it a while back. It's a mom and pop and tastes so yummy!!! I love Julie she's so sweet and kind. To top it off super clean! read more

This is one of those no frills Chinese Skewers place. Bring cash if you are coming, they give you free 1lb crawfish if your party spends more 88 dollars and paying with cash. All the skewers were delicious, especially the pork and the lamb. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to the just right amount. We ordered many other things including octopus, chicken cartilage, and gizzards. Everything tasted good. They also have other entree and sides, including rice noodle soup, grilled cold noodles, and enoki mushroom in tinfoil. Those are great as well but the seasoning is more sweet and sour rather than spicy. The place is rather small so I think that's why there is only one waitress. She is kind but always busy. However, the major ordering is done through the QR code scanned webpage so the ordering shouldn't be an issue. Parking is quite difficult during the rush hour since the parking lot is small too. Overall it's a restaurant that's best for small group of friends gathering on a weekday. read more

The food and service were great! The ambiance was not so good. Also, the place is very small.

Food was so good we were blown away. We ordered a combo for 3 people and it was a perfect amount. We really liked the pork skewers and the honey bread (all the skewers were amazing) the grilled cold noodles were alright. the wall art was super fun Would definitely come again!!! read more

CASH! Like a Chinese version of Old Country Cafe. Simple fast late night comfort food open until 1am. Nothing spectacular but decent for late night non-bar food. Surprisingly, not bad compared to scary reviews. Accidentally came here because Lu's Garden was closed. Maybe we came at a good time? We visited on a weekday midnight. There was another couple dining in with 2 parties, 1 picked up and the order waited after ordering there. Everything was decent, and better than expected (vs scary reviews). Portions were small. Can't complain for food at midnight. Nothing much is opened in 626 after covid. And prices everywhere really have increased. Service? No one around so it was good for us? We didn't need anything extra, water or restroom. - $6.99 5 Skewers of lamb. Flavorful. Like how they grilled it to be just lightly crispy for some edges with decent texture and juicy/not try. Too many times, other places grill until too dry. - Staple foods like $9.99 grilled cold noodles (4 pieces) and $6.99 beef roll (2 piece) were good. The beef roll didn't look good but actually might be better than alot of out places. It was my 1st time trying grilled cold noodles which is a comfort food. It was an egg pancake with ham and onions. Onions were barely cooked. Loved the numbing sauce in it. It wasn't spicy. - $11.99 House fried rice was simple. Not too large in size. We'd probably order all 4 dishes again. They went well with each other. read more

Despite the other reviews... I'm ranking this as my number one spot for skewers. The staff was very friendly. Ambiance is homely. I haven't been to China yet, but it reminds me of various little diners in Vietnam, and to me, that was more comforting than any fancy or dimly lit diners that are a major thing here in the US. The food was great. We ordered a ton of lamb and intestine. Despite it being a a near 4 hour round trip to get there and back. I find it to be insanely worth it. It's also located less than a mile from the Tesla Superchargers, which is a huge bonus for a quick pitstop for Boba in that parking lot and using the restroom before heading back. If I lived closer, I'd be here once a week. No joke. read more

Ordered about 50 skewers, half Beef and half Lamb. These were honestly really good, a bit juicy and not drying. But the amount they give you per skewer, literally only half the skewer was filled... On top of that the pieces were so small. I would get if they fill the skewer half way if the pieces were larger but they're so itty bitty which made us feel like we were cheaper out for what we paid. Also got their beef rolls and this was literally so small... Portion was probably for one person, when one order of beef rolls at other place could feed about 3-4 people. read more

I was not impressed. Over-priced in my opinion. The skewers were dry and dead salty, not much flavoring other than salt. Do not recommend. Service was quick and fast. We ordered takeout and the lady was really nice and everything was packed nicely. I just didn't like the food. read more

Qin's Garden - Assortment of skewers - Chinese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Ordered delivery from here since we were craving some good skewers and after looking at some photos and their menu I was highly interested in trying Qin's. We ordered the beef, bacon wrapped mushroom, pork, potato slices, and flour ball skewers. The seasoning is very delicious on these skewer choices. I really liked the beef it was cooked perfectly and the pork and bacon wrapped mushroom skewers were also very delicious I highly recommend trying these. Every meat was juicy and had a nice crispiness on the outside. The potato slices were cooked until soft and also had the right amount of seasoning on them. The prices aren't too bad either and is enough to leave you feeling satisfied. I'll definitely be ordering more from this place in the future. read more

Qin's garden is a little hole in the wall skewer place inside a fairly small plaza! I called in my order before coming as it takes about 15-20 minutes for it to be ready! I got the lamb skewers, the chicken gizzard, and the quail eggs! Lamb skewers - 4/5 The lamb was a little bit chewy, but I love how it was seasoned! Each order comes with 5 sticks Chicken gizzard - 5/5 I really love chicken gizzard when ordering skewers, and it was perfect here. Each order comes with 2 sticks. Quail eggs - 5/5 The quail eggs were seasoned with the same seasoning as the meet and roasted a little bit, and it comes with 2 sticks. Parking here could be a little hard if busy, as it is a small plaza with many restaurants. I definitely recommend this place as the price is very affordable, however I would keep in mind to eat it with a side of rice, as it can get a little salty after a while read more

On my way home from work I decided to stop for some Chinese food. I originally pulled in to try the Chinese restaurant but they serve their food cafeteria style, which is not my thing, so I walked the plaza and entered the door under the 'Lucky Noodle' sign. Wow was I surprised! We have ordered the duck tongue(fabulous!), pork stomach, lamb testicles, and spicy pork rice noodle soup. Initially I lost all ability to breathe when I accidentally vaporized the spicy broth and inhaled. Once I recovered, I tried everything and it was GREAT! I am planning to come back as soon as possible! I look forward to coming back here often! read more

Qin's garden is great cuz they open late like i think til 1am last i was there? the dining area is small tho. maybe no more than 15x15 feet or 225 feet space with 7-8 tables? the food is similar price and quality to any other asian bbq joint. condiments include vinegar, yellow oil, chili oil which go great on the food. generally about 12-15 minute wait time (i go alone so -1 person). They have a high credit card minimum (i think $50 purchase as of current - check for yourself) but the SWEET thing about it is they take venmo and so i can order any amount i want and can just venmo them instead of ordering 50$ worth of food. Parking lot has around maybe 30 spots (3x9) and during the night time, you wont have any problem parking in the small plaza. i never did anyways. no ev chargers in the lot though. my favorite is their bacon wrapped enoki and beef back strap. but yea nothing extraordinary about this place, just average but definitely enough itd be my go to spot. read more

Hmmm, I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The only way you can get skewers is the Asian street fair, and that doesn't often happen because it's only on the Chinese new year. Chinese new year is once a year, and that's when all the street fair happens. Qin's Garden is where you can find your long lost skewers. The skewers here taste amazing, and they cook for you in the kitchen, so you don't burn yourself or do anything. Qin's Garden doesn't not only serves skewers by crawfish, hotpot, noodles, etc. They have many options for Chinese food. The price here is in the middle range because it depends on what you buy and want to eat. I would recommend getting the beef tongue, lamb skewers, beef skewers, and scallops with vermicelli. Those are my top picks when I come here and eat. The restaurant is pretty small too, and it could only fit like 20-30 people at a time. The parking space here is small, and it's crowded all day long until1 am, so you might need to park at the sg supermarket. read more

This is a typical Dalian (China) food restaurant. It has a lot of bbq skewers, special rice noodle soup and other street food dishes. We ordered premium beef rice noodle, small and big lamb skewers, sausage skewers, Woodear cold dish and one street food dish. My favorites are their small lamb skewers, bacon wrapped mushroom skewers, premium beef rice noodle soup due to their authenticity and taste. Would recommend anyone who wants to try Dalian (second biggest seaport city in Liaoning province) street food! read more

Fortunately, I had a better experience than most. There were 3 tables open and I was seated right away. I ordered the lamb skewers, cold noodles, cucumber salad, and the BEEF ROLLS. I am serious when I say this spot makes the BEST beef rolls. It looks like they make the beef roll with the scallion pancake wrap! So you're pretty much getting 2 in one which makes it so delicious (most restaurants don't do that). I'm going to be coming back just for that. The parking lot is small however I was able to park at the plaza next door. read more

we went here for late night food but ended with unpleasant experience and downright humiliated by them. we know tipping is somewhat of a tradition in america but expecting more than what we gave and chasing after us for A MEASLY tip so that they get more money is utterly a place of nightmare and hell.

Fucked up place rude waitress no service at all. When we were seated no water was serviced. The kitchen was crazy chaos all we heard was cussing and yelling. Better yet cause all that unexpected rudeness and terrible service and Circumstances we only leave small amount of tips, then here come the fun part; we were chased down by this crazy fucked up bitch (most likely be the manager or owner) at the parking lot started cussing us and demanded for more tips.

Came all the way from west LA to try this place out. It used to be called Lucky Noodle King, but now its called something entirely else with a whole new menu, different interior & feel. The waitress was nice, and she brought out some free sweet tea? It was pretty bomb dot com. Anyways, started siftin through the menu & decided to get the spicy pork noodle & the boyfriend got the beef rice noodle, side cucumber dish, & wontons~~ food came out quick- noodle portions were huge, we both couldn't finish it all... the soup broth was bland & oily...noodle quality was not up to par. However, we both enjoyed the cucumber dish as it had an interesting brown sweet, sour sauce to it. Note: Cash only, they dont accept debit/credit! read more

This one is one of the worst "Chinese BBQ" in the San Gabriel valley. Customer service is not bad but horrendous. They treat you like you own them money or something. The couples there will stare at you if you order cheap items. There's tons around this area. Save your self some money and bad energy around here read more

BEWARE!!!! Don't come here! The server and the owner chase you down if you did not tip them or tip them well. Their services were down right shit and not professional. They did not serve water, and not even serving customers, other than arguing with the chef. Their food is mediocre at best, not a great way to end your night if you want late night food. read more

On 11/09/2020 I ordered take out from this restaurant, upon taking the sealed take out plates that the food came in, I started to eat my dinner, after taking a few bites from one of the dishes, to my horrid and disgusted surprise, I saw a worm looking parasite type of bug that that was wrapped by fluid crawling ( as you can see in the picture). I immediately threw up and was sick to my stomach, something like this should never happen. Mind you this had nothing to do with anything but their food as the plates were sealed. Please be aware of what you eat from this place or avoid it altogether in my opinion. read more

Just want to let you guys know their bathroom is in the kitchen and there is a sink for customers to wash hands behind their cashier's desk. Their skewer BBQ tastes good and worth 5 stars but that's about it for this place. Their cold noodle is over cooked, hot & spicy soup tastes bad and extremely overpriced. It costs us around $30 per person. Overall, their skewer BBQ is probably the only thing that's worth a try. PS. their tap for drinking water is very close to the tap where you wash your hands. read more

tl;dr 1. Food is authentic 2. Online ordering is non-existent 3. They didn't fulfill our order right after we paid for everything My friend recommended this place and I decided to give it a try. There are three links in their Google My Business for ordering takeout, and guess what, NONE of them works! The hours on the vendor websites are still shown as normal business hours but when you go through the entire ordering process, they tell you "we cannot accept this order because the restaurant is not available". This is the case for both UberEats and Doordash. The third option - ordering on their website - is even worse. It took me to another website for online ordering and I was able to place the order (see image attached). However when we arrived at the restaurant we were told that they never received our order and "never even heard of this website". Excuse me? You posted this link on your Google profile, and links it to your official website but you have never heard of them? How are you running the business? And after we order our takeout again at the restaurant, they still didn't fulfill our order right. At least two items were missing in the takeout, after we've paid everything in full. It's just so disappointing. read more
