Homey Skewer

Authentic North-East Chinese bbq. With the growth of Chinese skewer places that have opened up since Homey Skewer did, I am surprised that they aren't seeing the same customer attraction. I've looked over some of the one and two star reviews. Here are some updates and considerations: Credit cards? Yes, they do accept credit. Slow/rude service? I joke with my friends that if a Chinese place has more than 3.5 stars on yelp, it is not likely going to be authentic. A lot of this comes down to expectations held by many people (and their yelp reviews) regarding customer service. They aren't being rude. Regarding slow service. This is a small place with few staff. Be patient. They are trying to do it right, not fast. Drink some beer, snack on cold dishes that require little prep and chat with your friends while waiting for skewers. Food: For some people, this kind of food, isn't going to be their thing. For some this is an exciting and new experience. For others, this is a reminder of home, a taste and smell that brings back memories of a familiar place, so far away.

Tldr very flavorful skewersThis was a random find on Google that I was curious about. It was empty when I walked in but the place seemed clean and the skewer warmer they use is really cute. We took out order using the QR code and water was brought out to us. They also had hot water!! Which I have not been able to have at any other skewer place I've been to so far. We ordered a whole bunch of things but here are some highlights: - mantou (steamed bun slice): is good!!! I judge all my skewer places by how the mantou tastes and this one is now one of my favorites. It's very flavorful with the seasoning and not burnt. I ordered 4 sets and they were pretty consistent too- dough soup: very tasty and hearty! They sell a vegetarian version here and I don't like tomatoes in soup at all but I didn't mind it too much. My friend said the broth tasted like bullion though so that's something to look out for- roasted okra: one of my favorite veggies and they have it here. Yum. - thousand page tofu (chiba tofu): I love this tofu. I don't usually see it anywhere so it was a good find for me hehe Overall this place is quite tasty. The seasoning they use is very flavorful and I would say it's on the saltier side but not too much to ruin the taste. The service is also slower than other places that I have been too but I'm ok with that for the quality of skewer that they are bringing out. I definitely want to come back to try more things.

I ordered on Door Dash for pickup. I was charged $64 for such a tiny amount of food which was COLD also. I have had skewers in China and this place the seasoning was very poorly done. I don't know if this is an off day for this but I feel totally ripped off. The chicken skewers had tiny little pieces to the extent why waste the skewer? I just don't understand this place. Zero stars if I could.

We stopped here looking for wonton soup on a Monday night. It wasn't crowded at all; the inside has about 5-10 tables (can be broken up or made larger).We were greeted right away and sat down. Ordered via QR code and on our phone. I liked how the menu had a picture for every item. My date had a beer and fried rice. I had the wonton soup; it was so tasty and I could tell both the soup and fried rice were made really fresh. I think our server was the owner - really nice man and great service/attention. Good portions for the price especially in this area. We will be back!!

Ordered the Enoki Mushroom Skewers, Thai Chicken Skewers, Lamb Intestine Skewers, Beef intestine skewers, and Corn skewer. The corn was the only item we would have again. It was my first time trying Lamb intestine and Beef Intestine and i thought it tasted odd. My friend who has had it before said that the meat tasted "old", and was covered up by the variety of spices/ sodium. The lamb intestine specifically tasted like what you would imagine the scent of walking into the fish section of an asian grocery store. Overall it was okay, but i wouldn't have it again. The service was nice though and the place was empty when we came around 10pm. Our server sat us down quickly and pointed us to the QR code to order our skewers. I thought it was a nice feature that the store had a heated tray for the skewers to remain warm throughout the time we were there.

Im a huge fan of skewers and I have been to other places around here but have never tried this place yet. It looked promising on Yelp so I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! I came on Friday at 6pm and we were the first people there for dinner. They have a barcode that you can scan so you can order on your phone and your meal comes out. We ordered beef, lamb, sausage, green beans, fish balls, steamed buns, corn, fish tofu, and fried chicken cutlets. Everything was delicious!! Their seasoning is super flavorful and also spicy. If you can't handle spice then I probably wouldnt suggest because it can get pretty spicy as you eat. Luckily I'm a huge fan of spice so I loved it. I really liked the steamed buns and the meats the most. They placed our skewers on a heated plate so they all stayed warm. They also had a container to keep the skewer sticks in when we were done. This is a small hole in the wall kind of place. It wasn't crowded when we went and they only have a few tables. I really recommend coming here. The staff were super nice and helpful and the food was amazing.

This place is a hidden gem! Went here on a Monday night and it was totally dead ordered a bunch of skewers and some buns. Ordered on an I pad and sat down they brought me water. The vibe is super Bay Area chill decor. Food was delicious meat, perfectly cooked. Sweet spicy and complex spices. It was a little expensive but pretty standard for skewers.It was nice not to have to wait in line or wait super long for my food to arrive. Definitely will be back.

The food here is very good and reminds me of times I've been in China eating Chinese bbq at some late night place in the middle of no where. I highly recommend the beef skewers. I will be back, again and again.

Outdoor seating only. The order came out in 15 minutes. We ordered the Kim chi fried rice. It's good but nothing that amazes you. If you're in the area and want skewers and rice, this is the place to go. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. The portions are a decent size and the staff's are very stern. Parking is no issue as you have the entire plaza. Be careful not to park too close to the location itself as there are outdoor dining and the tent made the parking lots smaller than usual so every car is pushed about 1 feet into their perspective lanes.

I used to like this place a lot more but recently I came back. The seasoning has gotten a lot more "saucy" and sweet, almost like a spicy barbecue. I miss when it was more of a dry cumin oil rub.Just not as good as it used to be and I don't like the direction its gone.
