I finally got my chance to come and try out this new restaurant that opened back in late December. We’d drive by with friends and I’d always say, we have to try it out. Well, I got my chance to do so today. My plans to go out with the kids got cancelled and my brother called me up. Hmmmmmmmm where should we eat. HEY! Lets try the new place out. Some kind of Chinese BBQ house. With that we were not sure what we were in for. Wondered if it was like the typical BBQ joints that we grew up with that were famous for RIBs and Roast Chicken and stuff. Memphis Blues kind of food. Or was it going to be like a Korean BBQ or even Japanese BBQ? The latter was the closest. I hadn’t thought of Chinese version of Yakitori, but this was what it was to my brother and myself. Upon entering, I was happy all of a sudden. The wooden furniture and earthy feeling with lots of natural light made me feel good just to be there. The smell of cook meats over a grill and the scent of cumin infused lamb. I think I was sold before I could even order. We tried an assortment of skewers, from lamb to beef to pork and chicken wings. Had some black fungus, which for under $ 5 was a good deal compared to other places that served this dish. I wouldn’t call their skewers top notch. I think they’re still working it out. However it is good and I will give this place a solid notch of 3 stars for BBQ items. 3.5 stars for the appetizers that we had and a 4 star for our lamb soup that we shared. I really enjoyed the broth. Quite tasty, not overly salted clear broth and not too oily. Service was nice. Available in well spoken Chinese Mandarin and English. The only let down was the spicy chicken wings which were marinated. The meat looked a bit raw, but was probably cooked, but just because it was marinated. I didn’t bother to finish them or tell them I thought it should be cooked a few minutes more. They’re regular chicken wings on a skewer were tasty. Loved the wooden furniture. Loved the atmosphere. Liked the food. I would recommend it for a try and see for your self.
