" I always return to Chef Liu because it's a no-frills spot with delicious BBQ. The skewers are among the best in the area. Sometimes you have to be patient with the service, but the food makes it worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! It's my go-to for late-night BBQ cravings. The skewers are affordable and tasty, and I've never had a bad experience. They could work on speeding up service during peak hours, but the food has always been on point. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely horrendous experience. The staff treated us poorly, and the food was unfortunately not worth the terrible service. I had heard great things but left feeling disappointed. The fried rice was bland and all the skewers were overcooked. I will not be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food but very disappointing service. Our orders were mixed up, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. If only the service matched the quality of the food! The lamb skewer and fried rice were amazing, but it felt like a hassle to enjoy them. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant time dining here with some friends. We shared multiple plates of skewers, and everything was fairly priced. I would suggest trying the house fried rice—so good. The staff was nice but seemed overwhelmed, leading to a wait for our mains. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a disappointment! The food was cold, and the service was shockingly rude. I expected much more based on the reputation. The skewers lacked flavor. I won't be returning anytime soon. There are better options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations, but the food did not meet them. The skewers tasted bland and lacked the authenticity I was looking for. A few friends claim they had better experiences, but I think I’ll stick to other favorites. Service was decent but could improve. " (*Curated Review*)
