Delicious skewer place, food were all well seasoned and using fresh ingredients. Didn’t see much discuss about this place on social media, but after first visit, I’d definitely recommend here to people enjoy Chinese style skewers. We ended up $50 per person for skewer only, and both of us were stuffed. If you ordered some entrees, the price would be cheaper. Only one item I feel could be improved was the chicken skin, it was a little too dry for me, probably fired too much.

Definitely the best in the area. They have a great amount of beer you can choose from. Great place to hangout at! Great food, service...
I really enjoyed the Chicken skin appetizer, the intestine, lamg and oysters! Will make this one of my regular spots. Very comfortable and relaxing restaurant.

Homey skewer is indeed a homey place with only 5-6 tables. The prices are reasonable; I wasn't afraid to order a little more and the bill ended up being less than any other skewer place I went to in the last 2 years.

You know how some skewer places seem to flavor their skewers with one overpowering spice? Not here! The skewers are well-seasoned; sweet, spicy, and savory. Relative to other places, the beef tendon and chicken skin are standouts. And I don't even like tendon that much but the one here is particularly palatable.

There was only one server wearing a Stussy shirt when we went. He was very friendly and asked us if we needed any introduction of the menu, named each skewer as he brought them over (they are not always so clear), refilled our waters, and checked in on us during our meal.

My favorite is the lamb, it’s so tender and tasty!
The waiter is very considerate and friendly ! We went there about once a month cuz we lived far away.

It's probably one of the worst skewers places in SJ.

The meat tasted old and stale. Came out cold. Water was tap water; unfiltered. Didn't bother to try other food there because my group was interested in skewers. Vegetarian skewers were better. Of course u can't screw that up.

We arrived at 9PM and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was subpar; we had to constantly ask for napkins, water, and beers.

Discovered this by accident. Small space. Friendly service.
Tried the following items:
* Roasted yellow croaker
* Roasted green beans
* Roasted okra
* Beef skewer
* Lamb Kidney
* Chicken Heart
* Shrimp
* Grilled beef tongue
* Fried Beef/10
They were all spiced and spicy 🔥. Heavy on the cumin, yum, and medium hot.

Also these not spiced:
* Bread
* egg fried rice
