Xiao Chuan Dian Mini Lamb Skewers House

I really enjoy the concept of being able to cook your own skewers at this restaurant. Each skewer is seasoned just right, and I highly recommend trying their other dishes as well; the northern-style Chinese cuisine here is incredibly delicious. The service is friendly, too. I strongly suggest making a reservation, as it can get quite crowded on weekends.

This place offers authentic Chinese skewers at reasonable prices. Our group enjoyed the hot dishes more than the skewers, but both shared similar flavors; for instance, all the spicy hot dishes used the same sauce, while the skewers were primarily seasoned with a dry rub. Nonetheless, the flavors were quite good. The service was quick. Overall, I would rate the food 4 out of 5.

Delicious original lamb skewers! We also ordered egg fried rice, mala, and bokchoy dish. The food was on the salty side but delicious! The interior is interesting not fancy but casual, good place to have late night snack or dinner with some byob beer. I loved the sautéed peanuts they give as side dish/complimentary service. The workers were nice enough not to kick us out even though the store was closing! Visualizza piatti

Before we left, we asked the cashier why the skewers lacked flavor, and he responded with, "What kind of flavor were you expecting, huh???" We assured him that we meant no offense and were just offering a suggestion, but he continued to display a terrible attitude, insisting that it was our problem. I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars. As for parking, there's none available—only street parking.

Fun discovery! We love that the skewers are partially cooked and we finish them ourselves at the table, adding in the seasoning the way we like it. Real charcoal too so the grill taste is amazing ! A bit pricey for a casual place (our bill came to $179 for 3 people) but I think we ordered a lot of meat skewers. We noticed most tables around us ordered main dishes and a few skewers. Overall great experience and we’ll be back! ?

We came here on a cold rainy day and were surprised to find the restaurant pretty empty with at least two empty tables right near the entrance; however, the waiter said we cannot seat in because the restaurant is fully booked. Then we asked if we could join the waitlist. To our surprise, the waiter said there’s no waitlist that we can join. Ok, fine. How about takeout? For some reason he lied to us saying they don’t offer takeouts when it is clear that we can order takeout even on Google Map! I don’t know what your problem is but clearly this is not the correct way to treat your customers! I’m not coming back again. Visualizza piatti

The only downside was the absence of chicken, which was disappointing (-1 star). We had been looking forward to it, so it was surprising they didn’t have any. However, on the positive side, the flavors of their dishes were the best we've experienced in the USA; the only other meal that compared was in Busan, KR—check out my previous review for more details. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and while we prefer a coal grill, they did a great job with their gas and cast iron setup. The pricing was reasonable. The sides weren’t the best we've had in NJ, but they still had an incredible taste. Overall, it was a great experience.

Absolutely ridiculous. I can not believe the type of treatment I have received at this place. I came in with my child with the hopes of having a nice meal, but what I end up finding is food that I would barely consider edible, and an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. The waiter was extremely impatient, and even forced me to order things that I did not want to. The passive aggressiveness of the staff made the already effortless meal unenjoyable. I have never been humiliated to such extent in my life. There has never been a place that violated my rights in such a manner. As a customer, I expected good quality service, and more importantly respect. This place offered none, and left me and my...

One detail to highlight is that two other groups were celebrating birthdays during our visit. The restaurant has cozy private booths that accommodate up to six people comfortably. However, if your group has seven or more, it could feel a bit cramped in one booth, so making a reservation or planning accordingly is recommended for everyone's comfort. We ordered a diverse array of dishes, which meant our table space was a bit limited. As a result, a few dishes took a little longer to arrive, but the wait was not excessive. The staff provided excellent service throughout the meal, and their friendly demeanor enhanced our overall experience. It’s also worth mentioning that the restaurant doesn'... Visualizza piatti
