Little Skewer is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the enticing aroma of grilled skewers. The skewers themselves were packed with bold, authentic flavors, and it was evident that the ingredients were fresh and carefully selected. Each bite was a delightful mix of perfectly balanced meats, vegetables, and spices, offering an experience that felt both traditional and innovative.
The variety on the menu was impressive, catering to all tastes with a wide selection of meats, including lamb, beef, and chicken, as well as an array of vegetables. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural flavors without overpowering them. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into each skewer, making every bite a memorable one.
Despite it being a busy weekend, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us at the last minute. Their service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which added to the overall positive experience.

Read moreI love me some good BBQ skewers. It’s just that good. It’s basically comfort food, is it not? It pairs great with a nice cold beer, or two, or five… We’ve come to enjoy this location of Little Skewers a few times now. Every time has been a great experience.
We particularly love the decor, as it really sets your mood when you come to unwind with friends or family. The decor really helps you to enter a mode of relaxation with all the notes about drinking and life, etc. Then there’s the fake meats hanging around all the tables and the interesting way they have the napkin holders hanging all around the fake meats. It’s a great idea and good execution.
The food is always top notch. Great skewers all around. We haven’t had a bad skewer. We especially love the lamb skewers, the chicken wing (this thing is huge!) skewer, and the squid. We were skeptical of the durian pizza, but it actually came out great. Don’t think of it as pizza with durian. It’s more of a dessert pizza if that helps. It’s just sweet enough and there’s no marinara sauce.
P.S. this spot is not the biggest restaurant, so if you’re coming on a Friday night with a party greater than four people, expect to wait a long time… an hour plus most likely, but it’ll be worth it. Trust...
Read moreI've always been a customer to Hacienda Heights location and I love the one in Monterey Park too. However I'm really disappointed with this location, the environment is nice like Monterey Park and beautiful decoration. BUT the food is too salty and too spicy. I've been to other locations so many times, and I know different chiefs would have different ways to season their skewers. Nevertheless, we reported this to the waitress, she was nice and was going to help us to ask the kitchen if they can rewash the seasoning off. But then she never returned, so we found another waiter to let him know. The waiter only gave us a really unprofessional and disappointing answer, "our seasonings are great and none of the customers complain about it, I guess you guys probably usually are too used to plain food." I've read thru other reviews from Yelp and there are definitely some people who complain about the seasoning, but my friends and I would not return to that location...
