Best WLM Reviews

Food was delicious and authentic. My favorite dish was the clams. So glad to find a great place that stays open late
Amazing hidden gem! A must place to try delicious lamb skewers with variety of spice options. They used to have seatings outside on the parking lot during Covid but now we can enjoy the food comfortably indoor. Lamb skewers are perfectly cooked in the kitchen and arrives perfectly juicy inside and crispy outside. We usually start with cucumber with garlic as an appetizer, and sweet and sour fries for the kids. Eggplant is also a great dish for vegetarian friends. Today we tried Spicy crawfish and it was tasty - crawfish was fresh and even the soup was delicious. Last but not the least, their lamb dough drop soup is very hearty and fulfilling, definitely a good choice for a chilly day
Great spot to buy skewers with fair prices and delicious flavors. The quality of the beef skewers, along with the tasty seasonings and spices will leave you satisfied! I prefer to order for pickup over dine-in due to the service and wait times, but this BBQ spot is an excellent late night choice for bigger groups.
Open really late in night for dinning in. There are projections around the wall. The BBQ items are all delicious including lamb and beef kabobs, pork belly, chicken wings grizzles and gristle, Enoki mushrooms with bacon and Fish tofu. Beef tongue is said to be overcooked. Sides like chives are nice. Steamed Buns could choose salt/sweet/original while bread has the only one choice of sweet with sugar covering... Seems to be a little bit strange. Remember that the store would be closed earlier around 0am at Sunday. Pay attention to the operating time and last call minute.
Food is great, highly recommend sweet sour potato and the lamb dough soup and chicken skin. The wait is very long at ~6pm Saturday.
Edit: extra star for the prompt reply. Here's to hoping they can get that checked out!
I liked the flavor but all the skewers taste the exact same. Crispy chicken skin was good. Cucumber salad was also quite good. Atmosphere was cute. 4/5 on food, 4.5/5 service quite attentive, fast, and polite. But where they drop to 3 stars for me is the shockingly bad smelling bathrooms. The straight up sewage stank coming out of the drains in both bathrooms was nearly enough to make me violently return all the food I just ate. Imagine standing inside a sewage treatment plant. Now confine that to a single stall bathroom and replace all the pleasant aromas in your recent memory with one clear, rancid note of human excrement but somehow worse. Truly remarkable. Seriously, cover those vents or something. It's enough to make me try every single skewer place in the city before coming back, despite the decent food and fairly reasonable prices. A shame.
If I could give it a million stars I would.
A lot of skewers place tend to be pricey as the portions are small and the bill adds up but I feel like the prices here were more reasonable.
I tried many things like their beef and lamb skewers, fried tofu, fish cake, potato slices and chicken skin but what stood out to me the most was their bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms. Everything I had was flavorful yet so tender. There’s additional spices on the side if you feel like there isn’t enough.
I think there were about 2-3 people working yet everything came out fast and they were so nice.
Side note: They tell you this- if you pay in cash, you can get a free can of soda! If you want to order you scan the QR code and when you want to pay you can come to the counter or flag down a staff member to help you. Each table has a mini TV screen for you to do karaoke and each table gets one song to pick.
Beef skewer, chicken skin, chicken cartilage, garlic eggplant, mini sausage, 烤饅頭(sweet) were all really yum!! We ordered a bunch of food and only costs ~$35 per person, super worth it. Chicken wasn’t the best (too dry), and veggies were alright. But you have to order the garlic eggplant ????????
