Their BBQ is good, but on the expensive side. Don't get their wontons, it's just wrapper soup..

Ordered online for pick-up. Woman working was rude, ignored us and seemed to cater to only those who spoke the same language as her. We still had to wait an extra 25 minutes from our promise time. We ordered $70 worth of skewers. All the food was individually wrapped in foil so you couldn’t tell what item was what and the woman asked us, “Does your order look correct?”. No way we can tell unless we open every single item. We ended up with missing items (2x Pork Belly) so, we called the restaurant and the same woman answered stating that she couldn’t help us and we would have to call back tomorrow. Not so great customer service so far. Now to the food, every item was coated in the same marinade, so eventually everything just started to taste the same. Half of our skewers were dry and tough and some of the meat tasted old. Maybe it was a bad night? I just won’t be returning.

Chinese style bbq skewers at a good price. Be adventurous and try the organ meats!

The best authentic Chinese BBQ place north of Fremont that I know of. Will definitely come back many times!

After a 3 hours hike at Mt. Diablo in walnut creek, my friends and I decided to come here for some Chinese Barbecue Skewers. There were six of us and wee couldn't finish the food and pack some of the food.The food quality was very good. The meat was very well marinated. I really like humin and the species they sprinkle on the food. I like the charcoal grill taste from barbecue.I highly recommend you try the lamb skewer and beef skewers. Also, if you like organs, chicken heart and pig intestines are very good too. For side dishes, I also really like the grill eggplant and cold dish - shredded potatoes. If you feel like some rice and noodle, their sour and spicy noodle are very good, but very spicy.Beside the food, the service was decent for a typical Chinese restaurant. The services was fast and efficient. Of course, don't expect a Michelin star service.The price was reasonable. We ordered too much, so we end up with $75 person (include tips). I think a $35-50 person should be a fair a average price.

This BBQ was so fresh and SPICY just the way We love it. We had Quail, wings, sausages, Shrimps, Kidney, Gizzard, name it. We had fun here really. I am Nigerian and We have BBQ beef, chicken, quail etc We refer to as 'Suya' and boy I have missed it. This was the nearest thing to Suya I have had in 5years.

I enjoyed the different types of meat skewers. I wish the seasoning changed because the flavor became redundant after a while.

Food is really good, very cheap. Fresh cooked, can hear them in the kitchen. Open super late. Friendly people
