Kabobs House

Dined in an hour or so before closing. My eating buddy and I were the only ones in there initially. 2 more groups came after us, and 1 more tried to get seated 10 mins before closing…but the server said “We are closed” very bluntly with no sorry or anything and rushed them out, which I thought was kinda rude, he could have been a little nicer. Our service was just ok, he did past my table a few times and didn’t refill my water when it was clearly empty. Anyway, this is a small establishment with a few booths on both sides and few tables in the middle. The open kitchen is in the back of the restaurant. The menu is basically Chinese food with the main thing being kabobs. Here’s what we ordered and the ratings accordingly: Kabobs: I’m pretty sure they use the same seasoning/sauce on all of the kabobs by the way. - Fish cake 7/10. - Shrimp: 7/10. - Beef tendon ball 6/10. Kinda dry. - Squid tentacles 7/10. The only one that didn’t come on a skewer, it did come with scissors so we can cut it up though. - Mushroom wrapped with pork belly: 10/10. This was the best kabob in my opinion. They use enoki, which are one of my favorite mushrooms and it paired well with the pork belly. - Chicken heart (I don’t eat these, eating buddy got it…so can’t rate) Other dishes: - Hot & numbing beef spicy pot: 4/10. Despite the name, unfortunately it was not spicy or numbing at all. The star of the dish, the beef, was just very lacking. I took it home and had to add more flavor and seasoning to make it taste good. However, I did enjoy the lotus root and potatoes in it. - Steamed pork buns: 6/10. Overall rating: This place was alright, 3/5 stars. I wouldn’t get anything other then kabobs next time, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here again to be honest. All the kabobs were just average to me.

Decided to dine in at a reasonable time (7pm on a Sunday) and the place wasn’t busy, just one other couple, but it felt like we had inconvenienced the person working by being there or something because he was very short with us and didn’t really talk to us. We got the hotpot and Mapo Tofu. The hotpot wasn’t spicy and instead very salty and greasy. The mapo tofu was fine but I kept getting a crunchy texture that felt like when you accidentally drop eggshells in your scrambled eggs. It wasn’t consistently in the dish like an intentional spice was added that had crunch, it was more random like something that wasn’t supposed to be in there had gotten in. It was really off putting so to add it all up the experience was just disappointing.

Tastes authentic and very delicious. Unfortunately, it happened two times that they forgot to place rice for my take-out order. When I called back snd told them they forgot the rice, shockingly the person who picked up the phone call didn’t seem to care about it…I’d still go back to this place for the food, but definitely will double check if my order is correct.

I do not recommend this place first time here last time here The server was very rude he came out asking me what do I want to drink all loud and I thought maybe it was the Chinese accent and then I asked him excuse me he said water water very loud and I thought well maybe that’s the culture OK and then I ask him mix vegetable hot pot what kind of vegetable do you use he said cabbage Very loud Like he wanted to fight me so I just got up and left I feel like just because I don’t speak Chinese don’t need to be rude to me I might look Hispanic and an Asian so don’t judge people by the cover if you want to do business except everybody for who they are I really don’t recommend this place
