The skewers were very tasty and so were the appetizers. However the hot pot and other signature dishes like the intestine stir fry were alright. I would come back for the skewers alone ahahha.

It is definitely high tension vibes. I can feel younger!!! People are extremely happy and enjoy their time. There are many big screens and big tables, so any of the groups can eat together. They also have big rooms. Food is also great. Service is super fast!! The servers are very speedy. I drank and enjoyed my time.. I definitely will visit again !!

One of the best skewer places around! (They use actual coal!) On top of skewers, we always get the crawfish rice (spicy or garlic). Their squid is also surprisingly delicious! The atmosphere makes it a great location to hang and drink with friends. You can also check in on Yelp early! This place never disappoints!

Like skewers? Like alcohol? Like to eat with friends? Then be ready to wait in line to enjoy all this. Want more meat? They will bring trays. Want more specialty meat? They will bring it hot and spicy. Need help with cooking? They will make sure the food is ready and fully cooked for enjoyment. Need advice on what food order? They will tell you want to eat and you will enjoy it. IT'S SO GOOD. Recommend.

After visiting Chubby Skewer last month, I wanted to revisit GUI to compare the two. While I enjoyed Chubby’s self-service setup, I still think GUI takes the win, even with the slightly higher price point. GUI’s menu is extensive, and the portions for each skewer are noticeably larger. They also use coal for cooking by default instead of gas, which enhances the flavor. Their grilling setup includes an auto-rotating mechanism that ensures the meat cooks evenly—a big plus. Keep in mind that each skewer takes at least 5 minutes to cook (sometimes longer), so this isn’t a place for a quick meal. The wait time reflects this too; we waited about 40 minutes for our table. The vibe at GUI is lit—music videos playing loudly on the TV screens really set the mood. However, we wished the skewers had arrived before the appetizers so we could start grilling sooner. Instead, we finished all the appetizers and then had to wait for the skewers to cook. Overall, despite the wait and higher cost, GUI delivers on quality and atmosphere, making it my top pick for Chinese skewers.

Good food! You can order from the menu (items 1-6), and other options can be picked up from the shelves.

Top floor. Went during the slow hour. First time here so we tried just 4 proteins: shrimps, wings, scallops, and the beef plus cucumber salad. We were satisfied, not over eat. Will come back for more.
