I heard this spot serves kebabs, seafood, and Chinese dishes. What a triple threat! I was very excited to try this place.
Parking: This spot is located inside the Diamond Plaza. Free parking lot. Good luck finding parking on the weekends bc it gets packed during dinner.
Ambiance/Environment: They have a medium sized space. There’s a good amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Love the vibes & decor here. The music videos were lit. Careful as the floors and chairs might be sticky.
Service: Shout to Harrison! When we came in around 3pm, he was serving tables by himself! He was quick and efficient. A couple hours later, more workers came in. They all have heavy accents, but you could probably still understand them.
Food & drinks:
Testing Menu - This came with the Snow Crab combo, Cajun style, big lamb skewers x2, black pepper beef fillet skewers (2), chicken wings x2, Enoji mushroom, northern dan dan noodles, and milk teas. ALL the skewers were seasoned well and absolutely delicious! I looove their Dan Dan noodles! It had a generous amount of nuts and sauce. Their snow crab combo included crab legs, a large potato, a corn cob, a boiled egg, sausages, and shrimps. The crab legs were easy to break. Although they were skinny, there was a good amount of crab meat. The milk teas were basic, and the boba was chewy.
Skewers - I ordered Frog Legs, Chicken Gizzards, Beef Sashimi, Chicken, Pepper Beef, Homemade Ribs, cauliflower, and broccoli. Everything came well cooked and seasoned well! My fav was the Frog Legs. It tasted like chicken lol!
Cajun Fries - They didn’t go heavy with the Cajun seasoning, but they went a lil heavy with the salt. Some pieces were good while others were overly salted.
Garlic Grilled Oyster (2) - They were generous with the sauce and seasoning on these. The oysters were cooked well and not too chewy.
Edamame - These were not seasoned. It tasted as expected. I love edamame, so these were a perfect appetizer for me.
Dragonfruit Tea - This was absolutely refreshing! It wasn’t too sweet. Perfect drink to flush everything down.
Pricing: Prices are $$$ but definitely worth it. My bf and I enjoyed everything and left fulfilled. We also enjoyed the...
