Xiao Chuan Dian Mini Lamb Skewers House

Fun discovery! We love that the skewers are partially cooked and we finish them ourselves at the table, adding in the seasoning the way we like it. Real charcoal too so the grill taste is amazing ! A bit pricey for a casual place (our bill came to $179 for 3 people) but I think we ordered a lot of meat skewers. We noticed most tables around us ordered main dishes and a few skewers. Overall great experience and we’ll be back!

Was here 3 weeks ago with 4 girlfriends. The food we ordered were delicious and loved that the skewers rotated itself once they were placed. If you are plan on eating a lot of skewers (particularly lamb) I suggest coming in pairs or small group of 3. While the menu states there's a minimum piece order, it doesn't tell you, you are also capped at a certain amount of pieces when you order certain cuts (i believe it was lamb and beef?) There was one dish in particular I loved and still think about - I don't remember the name but it was deep fried red chili and pork. It was so goooood! The owner was kind and explained when we asked why buy it would've just been nice to know at the very beginning or see it on the menu for full transparency because it caught us all off guard. All in all, I would definitely go back and cap it to 3 people max so we can have the full skewer experience.

Excellent Northeastern Chinese skewers spot. It’s BYOB and there’s a liquor store across the street as well as a couple blocks away. The skewers are already pre-cooked when you get them, so you just need to cook them for a minute or two longer to heat them up and get a bit of char. The egg fried rice was really solid. The cold dishes were also good—flavors and textures were spot on. The plates for the cold dishes were pretty large and felt like they were sized for 4 people or more to split. Ended up spending around $70pp.

Delicious skewers that cooks right in front of your eyes! We love this place, and the service is great as well. The servers check on us and help us to grill. The food is not cheap, but the meat is top-notch quality. I wish they do takeout on the skewers, or cook in the back to save time.

Love the idea that you can cook skewers yourself. Each skewer is seasoned to perfection. Try their other dishes too - it's very tasty northern style Chinese food. Friendly service as well. Reservation strongly recommended. They can get very crowded on weekends.

2nd time here, both time are great. It's perfect for 4-6 people. I love their grill have the automatic rotate, so I dont have to do it my self. The meat all taste great, their dishes portion pretty good too.

Had a great experience here! The food was amazing as always, and the service made everything even better. Special shout-out to Zongyi — super attentive, friendly, and made us feel really taken care of. Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely, we were seated at a table in a little private room. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. There's a grill in the center of the table, on which you grill, sear, or crisp the various items you order. Highly recommend the lamb skewers, the fried clams with hot pepper, the crushed cucumber salad, and beef skin. Super fast service, and the staff are delightful. Would make the trip out there from New York again!
