Discovery Fusion BBQ

looking for an authentic chinese bbq skewer spot? look no further ! discovery fusion bbq is service authentic chinese bbq skewers with a variety of options to choose from. the cyberpunk neon signs, the selection of drinks upon arrival, and the liveliness is through the roof. it's honestly a great spot to just meet up and catch up with friends while listening to karaoke and enjoying potentially a late night snack. my sister and i arrived when they had just opened and we were able to get seated right away. we ordered from a variety of meats ranging from sausage, pork, beef and lamb. we also added a few veggies and dishes like hot & sour soup and cucumber salad. the highlight of our meal was the grilled scallop with garlic vermicelli. it really reminded us of a restaurant in HK that we would go to. just a heads up that every skewer seemed to be seasoned exactly the same. it is on the saltier end so it left us needing to chug water post-meal. the beer honestly also paired nicely with the skewers as well. the seasoning is salty yet spicy and we enjoyed it a lot more on the lamb. it kinda tasted like cumin was also incorporated as well. i personally would come again with friends but i genuinely wished it was a little less salty!

I don't really go for the food, but the ambience and setting is so cracked, it's a must go with friends. If you're lucky, you'll get to see live entertainment.For food, I recommend the golden fried rice, any large meat skewers, and definitely the toast (this is a must try).

Definitely a place to go for the aesthetics instagram pics -- LED signs everywhere. There's also fake fire pits too. Huge variety of skewers, including yummy tofu and mushrooms and lamb. Also has chicken heart and some other good old basics. They had a fun Russian roulette inspired drink set where there are 12 mysterious small bottles with unknown liquids inside. Parking can be a little crazy because it's located right next to a H Mart.

The theme is pretty fun. If you love the bright lights and to party it up with friends, I would say give it a try. The restaurant has a lot of tables inside with a descent amount of workers on the weekend. I came around 5pm and there were few tables occupied. By the time we left, the whole restaurant was filled. I would say some of the skewers were great. The downside is, you're getting the same flavor for all the skewers. The only difference you would get is the texture. I'm not a fan of hot and spicy food so this place was not go me. I was able to handle most, but I don't think I would come here again unless someone wanted to come or celebrate their birthday. I would say their beef and chicken skin was good (chicken skin tasted somewhat sweeter). It definitely has a party type of vibe with a karaoke machine in the back. It seems like you strictly order through a QR code.

IG: @hungry.hungry.helena I've been to @discoveryfusionbbq multiple times now and it's the best shaokao in the SF Bay Area that I've tried. Fair warning, the seasoning is salty, so get some carbs and cold appetizers too!Skewers:-Lamb skewers + beef skewers: 10/10. DON'T get the mini skewers, meat is tiny on those. Pay the $3 for the big, thick skewer-Chicken wing skewer: 9/10.-Chicken skin skewer: 10/10. SO CRUNCHY!! Like a chip-Pork belly skewer: 5/10. Hit or miss, first time was amazing and juicy.

A bit too sweet than I'm used to, but very refreshingStreet fried food: -Chicken crispy bone: 7/10. Trendy in China, not sure why. tastes like regular chicken skewerDessert:-Fried milk (curds): 8/10. Good dessert, fun texture Drinks:-Suan Mei tang (smoked plum juice): 10/10. I always get this at Chinese restaurants when they have it, it's like the liquid version of the smoked plum candy. Not everyone's cup of tea but I love it-We tried a few of their fruit alcohol drinks and they were all great, along with the beer

We came with a party of 4 on a Thursday night and the place was pretty filled. There were luckily a few empty tables so we were seated quickly but those empty tables filled up fast. I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take pics of everything. I've had a favorite skewer bar for a decade now and so I was shocked to find that Discovery Fusion BBQ has the same flavor profile as my favorite skewers place. I loved being able to order from my phone because ordering skewers with a server is so stressful to keep track of lolEvery skewer was delicious!! We also ordered some side dishes which are not offered at other places. Definitely recommend the fried milk, mini japanese sweet potatoes, and garlic eggplant. The food came out very fast and service was so attentive. I think they came with a new water carafe like 3 times without us asking.They have a karaoke section but I think it's not open to patrons. It seems like they hire someone to sing and charge patrons a couple dollars extra if there's a performer that day. Not too sure how it works but I'm intrigued to find out. Definitely recommend this place!

If you're a bigger party then make a reservation! My group of 12-13 people made a reservation a few days before and got promptly seated upon arrival. The inside is interesting - the neon lights and karaoke set up in the back of the restaurant makes you wonder what you walked into. Located in a parking lot with H Mart and 85 Degree Bakery, parking is abundant due to turnover on the market side. You scan the QR code at the table and do all your ordering there. The items come out quickly and are seasoned fairly well. As someone who was craving skewers, this place hit the spot. And if you're worried about not being full on skewers, they also have other foods available like fried rice and grilled squid. Maybe it was because we beat the rush, but service was on point and bright the food out in a timely manner.

Discovery Fusion is so fun, they definitely stand out compared to other nearby options as they have karaoke at night which makes it so lively on top of the bright neon lights in here. This place is perfect if you're coming in larger groups and want to eat, drink, and/or sing. I love that they're open late too as skewers are a perfect late night snack since it's so light but also filling enough for dinner if you order dishes too. Some of my favorites here are the Beef, Tofu, A Choy, and Scallop Vermicelli. The skewers all have the same seasonings but the juiciness from the meat is what makes them all taste slightly different.I've been to many different Chinese skewer places around and I'd say Discovery probably wins #1 for decoration. I think I've gotten seated immediately both times that I've been here on a weekend as there's plenty of seating but I could imagine it gets busy during prime time. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try as the aesthetic, food, and even drinks are all great.

This place is special to me. We came here when my partner and I first got together and then again for our anniversary. We love how friendly the service is and it's just a reliable, amazing tasting place to get juicy spiced lamb skewers and croaker. Paired with the fried rice? Chef's kiss. The decorations make you feel like you're in cyberpunk city Chongqing and I love taking pictures of it. They seem to be constantly improving the vibe and adding new items to their menu, while their staples remain top of the line. Love discovery. Will definitely be back to sing karaoke.

Lots of food options in terms of the skewers. You just have to get used to all that neon lighting. The shredded potato thing was pretty good too.
