" Visited last weekend and had an enjoyable experience overall. The lamb skewers are fantastic and incredibly affordable. The space is small and can get crowded but the food makes it worth it. Wish they had more drink options to pair with the amazing food. This is definitely a spot I will keep coming back to. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is truly amazing but prepare to wait if you come during peak hours! The lamb skewers are incredible, and the lamb soup had so much flavor. I really enjoyed the coziness of the place, but it can get cramped. A solid place for authentic Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend of mine took me here for the first time and I am blown away! The lamb skewers are life-changing, seasoned exquisitely. The service might be a bit hectic, especially during rush hours, but the authentic food really makes up for it. I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Cui Hua Lou on a recommendation and I must say, the lamb skewers were absolutely divine! The flavor profile was rich and authentic, just like what you would find in the heart of Northern China. The ambiance was cozy, though the space was quite small, it was packed with delicious aromas and the energy of shared meals. Service was friendly, making it a wonderful dining experience. I can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cui Hua Lou is hands down my favorite place for authentic Chinese lamb dishes. The flavors just transport you right back to street stalls in China! I recently tried the lamb brain in sauce, which was delectable. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quantity and quality you're getting. The only downside was that they only take cash; I wish they had another option! Still, the food is worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here recently, and the lamb lamb brain in sauce was delicious! I also loved the spicy skewers. The restaurant is small but vibrant, just the right captured spirit of an authentic Chinese eatery. I must admit the service was a bit scattered as it was busy when I went, but that won't keep me from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall great food, but the service did leave something to be desired. The lamb dishes were very authentic and generously portioned. The atmosphere was bustling, giving it a real authentic feel. Despite some minor service hiccups, I'd definitely consider coming back for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)
