Chuan Kee Skewer

These were some of the best skewers I've had and I eat a lot. Both the lamb and beef ones were seasoned perfectly and the surprising part is that it was juicy. Other places tend to overcook it. They cooked it to a nice medium. I feel like they use better quality meat since it was also tender.The pork belly skewers were exceptional. The flavors were shocking and had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The service was extremely friendly. If you're here to explore Chinatown, I recommend stopping to grab a few skewers to munch on as you walk around the streets. I'll definitely be back!

This place is very tasty with a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. Enough to make a solid meal. A good place to go to with your omnivore friends.

One of the only Chinese bbq skewer spots in Chinatown, although they have other entrees as well. It's more of a casual place. You order by writing on a paper menu. The skewers are well seasoned and they have extra seasonings on the table if needed but we don't usually use them. I really liked the preserved eggs with tofu and rice cakes with honey. The rice cakes with honey are coated in what tasted like sesame powder so it tasted like a sesame ball without the red bean filling and all the oil. The owners are very friendly. The place is rarely busy so you don't have to worry about a wait. Highly recommend if you're a bbq lover.

My favorite go-to place for skewers! Best one you can find in Chinatown and it's a BYOB! I always order the beacon wrapped enoki mushroom. It's so good! I also like chicken meat skewer, which is tender and not too dried. You can sprinkle more seasoning like red pepper powder and cumin if you love spicy spicy like me. This place is small and cozy owned by a small family. Even though they don't understand and speak English well, but they're very friendly and attentive. Everything is good. Except the squid, which is hard and on a chewy side. You need a strong teeth for that lol. I recommended bring some beers to have with your skewers, it's the best pairing! It's a good mood. This place is perfect for anyone who wants to chill with friends and have a yummy small bite snacks.

I really enjoyed the food at Chuan Kee Skewer. The skewers were fresh and flavorful, and the portions were satisfying. The lamb and beef skewers were my favorite, they had a great texture and taste. The dipping sauce was also very good, it complemented the skewers well. This is the only place in Chinatown that I know that offers authentic Chinese skewers, and they do it well.The price was fair for the quality and quantity of food. I paid $15 for a combo of 10 skewers, which was enough for me. The service was quick and courteous, and the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes skewers or wants to try something new. Chuan Kee Skewer is a nice spot in Chinatown!

Delicious skewers! The menu is super extensive but we got a bunch of different skewers. Our favorites were the lamb, beef, and king mushroom. Service was great and food came out so fast. This is a BYOB place but our waitress was very helpful in telling us where we can pick something up.

Meat on skewers are tough and chewy. Cannot chew through on many pieces. Seasoning is okay.

Had a good experience here. Staff are super friendly with very generous portions for both meat and vegetable skewers. Flavor was not quite there for some skewers and textures for some vegetable dishes were too soft/soggy. I would come back, but be more selective with what I orderedBeef (3/5) - Tough, chewyLamb (5/5) - Very tender, best skewer we ordered.Hot pepper (4/5) - Tastes like a big shishito pepper, also deliciousChicken (4/5) - Doesn't actually taste like Chinese skewer flavor, almost halal vibe but was cooked well and tastyGolden bun (3/5) - Sweet fried bun, what you'd expect. Bacon-wrapped okra and (3/5) - what you'd expectBacon-wrapped enoki (3/5) - sameChive (3/5) - huge portion but a bit overcookedPotato (3/5) - comes in one giant slab which detracted from texture, became a little soggyHot and spicy dumpling (4/5) - tastes great, just not spicy at all

The staff is awesome. We had some language barriers, but it did not stop them to assist me. I highly recommend this place as it has great service and openness to help.

Chuan Kee has mastered the art of the skewer. The meats and potato skewer were delicious! The meats were so fatty and meaty; I really enjoyed it. While it was a great experience, the prices didn't match with the value. I'd prefer Zhi Izakaya over this since the ambiance is nicer and prices are more appropriate over there. Service was nice, and the restaurant had a good amount of people for a Friday night.
