| - We tried this place for the first time over Victoria Day weekend for dinner. It's located in Metro Square plaza. We were a group of 4 and got seated immediately, despite the restaurant being very full. The staff spoke mainly Mandarin and English. Their restaurant area is clean and new, but their washroom isn't great.
Like most skewer restaurants in this area, they have both non-member and VIP member pricing. VIP membership is $20 for 2 years. However, the pricing extends beyond just skewers and applies to all dishes. The savings can actually make a pretty big difference too. For example, one of the noodle dishes we ordered went from $15.99 to $12.99. Lamb skewers went from $2.50 to $1.50 each.
We ordered a round of skewers for all of us, a big plate of fried green beans, and a bowl of handmade noodles with eggplant. The lamb skewers were a bit on the rare side, but still tasted good. The chicken wing skewer was pretty good too. The spices in the green beans were very interesting, it was really delicious but it had a mouth numbing effect. We really liked their handmade noodles though! The texture and taste was great.
In total, our meal came to about $40 after tax and tip for four people ($10 each!), which is so cheap for a dinner. Our approximate savings with the VIP card were about $10 before tip. It would only take one more trip to this place within the next 2 years to make the VIP card worth it.
This is definitely a great place to go if you're ever craving skewers, or during night market season. It's cheap and effective!
