" Visiting Kaojiu was an adventure in flavors! The eclectic mix of traditional and modern cuisine made for an unforgettable meal. Our lamb ribs were perfectly grilled with just the right amount of seasoning. Although the service was attentive, they seemed a bit rushed during peak times, leading to a longer wait for some dishes. Still, the tasty food makes up for this small flaw. Definitely planning to come back for more of their delightful offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment we entered Kaojiu, the decor and ambiance made us feel we were somewhere special. The lamb skewers were truly authentic and delightful—one of the best I’ve had in the city. However, I found the fried dishes a bit greasy compared to the grilled options, which was a letdown. Despite this, the service was fantastic, with staff being both courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. I would still recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a genuine Chinese BBQ experience in a beautiful setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible dinner at Kaojiu! The atmosphere was lively and the decor truly captured the essence of traditional Chinese themes. We tried a variety of dishes including the lamb kebabs and the have to try cold noodles—the flavors were simply fantastic. Only downside was that our servings could have been bigger; I still felt hungry after dinner. The service was excellent, and I left already planning my next trip back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kaojiu offers a great dining experience that reflects authentic Chinese BBQ. The cozy atmosphere is beautifully complemented by the intricate decor that sets the mood just right. While I enjoyed the flavorful skewers, some portions seemed smaller than expected, which was a bit disappointing after all the hype. Overall, it was a great meal and I would certainly consider coming back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a large family dinner at Kaojiu and it was exceptional! The service was attentive, ensuring all our needs were met. Our favorites were the lamb ribs and the cold skin noodles, which were both delicious! It can get a bit loud during busy hours, but that didn’t affect our enjoyment of sharing dishes and enjoying each other's company. I’ll definitely be returning, particularly for those lamb ribs. Can’t wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're after authentic Chinese barbecue, look no further! Kaojiu has nailed it with its fantastic menu and rich flavors. The dishes are all beautifully presented, which makes for a lovely dining experience. My only suggestion is to offer better portions as some left me wanting more. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Kaojiu for a family gathering, and we had a fantastic time! The herbs used in the lamb hot pot really enhanced the flavor and made it a delightful eating experience. The kids enjoyed their skewered chicken and fried rice, which were well seasoned. However, I did notice that portions seemed a bit on the smaller side, especially for the hot pot. The overall atmosphere was very inviting with nice music, which facilitated conversation. I look forward to trying more dishes on my next trip back. " (*Curated Review*)
