Fire restaurant, I loved our waiter. She was super helpful and explained the menu for us, so it made choosing what to eat so much easier 10/10 customer service

很好吃! The dry rub on the skewers are addictive. Definitely a must try if you're craving authentic Chinese food. The ambiance was chill - they play a video in the background showcasing how they make their food and seasoning from scratch. Lamb skewer: - smaller than expected, but you get 5 of them - sooo flavorful Taiwanese sausages: - plump and juicy - pairs well with rice Frog legs: - i'm not kidding when i say it looks and tastes EXACTLY like chicken, down to the texture Red braised pork belly bowl - reasonably priced and very filling - comes with two (preselected) sides (they gave us cauliflower and pickled cabbage)

I was in the mood for something new, and my husband was nervous. But we both ended up loving everything. The meat screwers were all delicious with a yummy seasoning. Our fave in order was the pork belly, lamb, chicken, then beef. My husband was a huge fan of the chicken tenders with Chinese salt. Crispy but so tender. Wish they added more Chinese salt. But the hubby enjoyed it with the house mayo. I was drooling over all the fish hotpots that was on every table when we were there. I'll be sure to try that next time. Parking garage is behind the building, so you have to walk around the building. Clean, & great service.

I've ordered takeout from Meat Lover a few times and eaten inside as well. It's a little small inside but clean and tidy, and the service is quick and friendly. Food is always good here and is reminiscent of Gui in Rowland Heights, serving primarily BBQ skewers with the addition of simple hot pots. I'm a huge fan of the chicken skewers in particular--the soft bone is great and cooked just right. I tried the hot pot for the first time on this last visit, and it was great! I got the small size, which was actually pretty big. Both the soup and the ingredients were good (especially the potato slices, which actually were fried before being put in the soup). I couldn't finish, and the staff very kindly helped pack it up. Overall, great for a quick and casual meal!

Stopped off for a quick lunch and found this place on accident, because something else was closed. The menu is complicated, so much so we didn't even get to try the hot pot items. Will have to come back to try maybe for dinner. Chinese skewers and combo dishes. The combo dishes have a meat and then my guess is, two sides which change. Today was the tomato with scrambled eggs and woodear mushroom salad. Everything was yummy! The chicken combo you can select how you want the chicken seasoned. So many options. I went with Chinese salt and pepper, but then it asks for sauce, which I got ranch, because well, the other ones were less of a fit. I should have taken a picture of the menu, because it's a little confusing for a first timer, but I think I have a better understanding for next time. We were the only party for most of the time, so it was very attentive service. The food was a little slow, but I figure each thing is prepared individually. If they got busy, I think it would be problematic. Will be back again to try the hot pot item hopefully!

If you want ambiance, the disposable paper plates are definitely a turn-off. If you can get over that, the taste would definitely reward you. Not good but GREAT skewers, hotpot and even combo meal (Lu Rou Fan, Hong Shao Rou, etc). Authentic taste aand great value. If the owner is reading this place definitely need a liquor license - you definitely need beer with this type of food.

Do they have a food truck? We tried this food truck at Eastvale Multiculture Event. We ordered their grilled squid (half) and their chicken tender. The squid was rubbed all over with sauce topped with their dried spices. It was deliciously tender and very tasty! I love the fact that the squid was cut up into pieces so that it was easy to eat! The chicken tenders were very crispy and very delicious as well. I asked it they had any sauces to go with it and they gave us a ranch dipping sauce that goes well with the chicken. Their staff that took our order and those that handed our food were really friendly.
