Decent place for a simple affordable meal. Usually start with a noodle soup combo. Pick your soup base and pick your meat/seafood offering. Then there are various skewers additions. Like the chicken and fish ball skewers as it reminds me of Asian street food. After awhile, skewers taste very similar as the spices used seem to be the same.

Coming from NYC and tasted skewers from many different places, I have to say this is the best I’ve had. The meat is cooked just right with not overwhelming with spices and tender. The mackerel was very good too. Would definitely recommend it and come back again.

Tastes good, soft and juicy. But, size is a little small. Got baby octopus, lamb, chicken and mackerel. Mackerel was good size and tasty. Clean place. Orders could be a little faster though.

A friend and I went in on a Saturday night, after a few drinks and playing pool, at a nearby bar. We got to this place around 12 AM and it was still open (apparently, the place closes at 1 AM Fridays and Saturdays).
The menu was a little confusing, initially, but we figured out that most things you order here, are skewers. Or a large bowl (it's pretty large) of noodle soup. My friend got the beef noodle soup and he liked it.
I just got a bunch of skewers of meat (BBQ chicken, beef, lamb, pork ribs) and an entire mackerel. Most of the meat, except the BBQ chicken, had a good bit of cumin on it, which I liked. The lamb, especially, reminded me of this place in Cupertino that I used to go. The order of mackerel (for $3.95 I'm gonna say) was an entire fried fish. Pretty good too. I think our entire bill was under $30, which was pretty cheap for the quality and taste of food. The wait times can be a little long (we waited around 15 minutes for the first skewer to arrive, and the restaurant was only about half full), so beware.
