" Prime BBQ caught me by surprise - in a good way! The blend of Chinese BBQ and yakitori is a fun spin. I ordered a large variety of skewers, and while most were delightful, a couple were slightly overcooked. Service was prompt, and our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, which I appreciated. The atmosphere is lively and perfect for a night out with friends. However, I believe they can work on ensuring that all dishes are cooked equally well consistently. I’ll definitely come back when the craving hits again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed dining at Prime BBQ the other night! The food arrives quickly, and I loved the style of serving everything on skewers. We tried various items, some were fantastic, while others didn’t quite hit the mark. The service was friendly, and the place was adorned with a cute decor that enhances the overall experience. However, I thought the portions could use a little bump. Nevertheless, I left with a big smile, looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great choice for Asian BBQ enthusiasts! I liked how they fuse Chinese BBQ with Japanese yakitori, although I think they could improve on the authenticity a tad. The skewers were tasty and served up quickly. Our waiter was friendly but had too many tables to manage, leading to some minor delays in service. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience and plan to return with a few friends for a second round soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Prime BBQ for a casual dinner, and it was a fantastic experience. The skewers were grilled to perfection, and I couldn't get enough of the chicken hearts - they were sublime! The environment was relaxed but bustling, ideal for casual meetings or catching up with friends. I did feel the pricing was a tad high given the portion sizes, but overall, quality seems to outweigh quantity. The staff was friendly but could use a bit more training to manage busy hours better. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled with my experience at Prime BBQ! Not only is the food delicious, but the staff also made sure we were well taken care of. Our skewers were flavorful, and the drinks paired perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, although we found it a bit crowded at peak times. Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking excellent BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" A very unique experience at Prime BBQ! I enjoyed the fusion of Chinese and Japanese BBQ flavors. My favorites were their lamb skewers and the variety of veggies served. The atmosphere is buzzing, perfect for a lively dinner with friends. Service was fast but not overly attentive, however, I would still recommend giving this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a good experience at Prime BBQ. Love the fast service! The skewers come out piping hot and delicious. The staff is friendly, but I found the seating arrangements a bit cramped during busy times. I'd suggest going during off-peak hours if possible. However, it's absolutely worth it for the food!
