The Skewer Bar — Restaurant in San Jose

The worst BBQ place ever. I rarely write reviews at all but this place completely shocked me. The place is small and crowded. The environment is loud and noisy, people all around screaming and yelling. Don’t even get me started on the service there. The only things the waitresses do is stand there and chat. When we asked for small bowls and a spoon, they only gave us small plastic ones and told us they only have those. The things is how can a restaurant not have regular bowls and spoons. And the food is even worse. There were black substances in the food and also they put way too many weird spices in the barbecue that somehow tasted weirdly sweet. The oysters there aren’t fresh and tastes rotten. And also the waiting time!! We ordered only a few items and yet they still forgot to give us our lamb skewers. When we asked them, they kept denying it and kept saying, really really. I noticed that they only serve the bigger tables better. And completely forget the rest. For example they kept giving the large table food and there was two people waiting for takeout that from what I heard only ordered 4 items, they took and 45 mins and yet they didn’t get there order. The health of this place is completely disgusting, there are like lots of flies just everywhere flying into peoples foods and faces. In the end I highly recommend you not dine here. Dine somewhere else and not waste your time...

Been here a few times, staff are quick. The vibe is very cool, loud music tho. Some of my stable order are: skewers of all kinds of meat and veggies and chicken skins for sure, crab tofu soup, sour cabbage sizzling noodles. Mostly all skewers are great, but the mini skewers are just a waste of time and energy lol, it sounds like a lot but the meat is barely bigger than my finger nails, so better off just get the regular skewers. The sour cabbage sizzling noodles is also delicious, very sour so it helps reduce the fatty flavors from some skewers (pork intestine, pork belly, chicken skin). Crab tofu soup is an absolute delight. Creamy and warm, great for cold weather. Tried their fried salted egg yolk corn, it’s a good combination but it just a bit too salty, maybe reducing the saltiness will make it perfect. Welp, will come back for more late...

Chinese Hong Kong night market street food is one of my favorite food to enjoy, I found this hidden gem down the street from my house, it’s called The Skewer Bar. I order an amazing sample of exotic dishes that the restaurant has to offer, from chicken & pork kidney, lamb & cow testicles, oysters, scallops with vermicelli, beef tendon & tripe, roasted quail, corn cheese and honey citrus juice. All the meats were very flavorful and delicious. The corn cheese definitely hit the spot and was my favorite. They had a small grill on the table for me to cook my meat, very authentic. I spent about $70 but it was well worth it for a first experience. Definitely coming back. I love the decor, it felt was in Hong Kong at the night market. They even had a free arcade to play fighting games on, while you wait.
