A very cute restaurant located in the heart of Main Street Unionville famous for snacks and skewers. I would recommend coming with a party no larger than 4 people as the seating arrangement inside is quite crammed. If you plan to eat during peak hours, your best bet would be to make a reservation. Better safe than sorry. I had come here with a friend on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm. Luckily we beat the dinner crowd without a reservation. We managed to get a table for 2 after waiting for a few minutes. Every table was set up with a piece of slate sitting on top of candles used to keep your skewers warm when served. Although slightly dim inside, the wooden furniture and walls all added to a very quant ambiance. The menu consisted of a large variety of items from meats, vegetables, seafood, noodle soups, and rice.
My friend and I had ordered chicken and beef skewers, chicken wings with honey sauce, grilled okra, grilled enokitake mushrooms and the Chat Bar Spicy and Sour Vermicelli. Out of all the items we ordered, my favourite was the grilled okra which was nicely seasoned and very flavourful. The Chat Bar Spicy and Sour Vermicelli was highly recommended by my friend who orders it every time she eats here. Even though we had requested for a mild level of spiciness it definitely has quite a kick to it. For someone like myself who has a spice tolerance of close to zero, it was tolerable, but i definitely got a runny nose after eating a few slurps of the vermicelli which came with a slight burning sensation on the lip. It was still enjoyable though. I wouldn't recommend the enokitake mushrooms cause really all it is, is enoki mushrooms with maybe half a jar of minced garlic on top. Unless you plan on not talking to anyone for the rest of the day, I wouldn't recommend ordering this. Both the beef and chicken skewers were very flavourful and grilled to perfection. The chicken wasn't overcooked which tends to dry out the meat and the beef was very tender. Overall I had a great dining experience here for the first time. The food came very quickly, and service was efficient. Probably not the most comfortable in terms of seating, but that probably has to do with discouraging customers from wanting to stay too long so that the restaurant can do a few more rounds of tables for more business. Will definitely be back to try other things.
