About The Cuisine
Gao's Crab and Kabob specializes in Northern Chinese barbecue and seafood which primarily features a range of grilled meats and vegetables on skewers, seafood boils accompanied by a host of side dishes and alcohol. The flavors have originated from the old Silk Road of Western China, also sharing similarities with Korean BBQ and Japanese Izakayas. This cuisine type is prevalent throughout China and is a favorite destination for large groups and the late-night crowd.

It is a good place for group gathering. Food is too salty for our tasty. Maybe the food would be good if we have ordered more drinks.

Meat is very overcooked and service was mid. When dropping off the skewers, we weren't told what each skewer was, we had to guess. Food came in waves so our noodles came first and then there was a long break between that and getting our skewers. Noodles were also very overcooked. With everything being so overcooked, makes you wonder if the food is fresh or if they are reheating leftover food. Not a great impression.

A different kind of restaurant - fun experience, but not for everyone. Sunflower seed appetizer as you sit down is creative. No plates, no forks, just hands and flimsy food-service gloves. Food is a huge assortment of skewered meats and other stuff. Also crab boils, which I wasn't really a fan of. I would go back and just stick with the skewers.

Food was salty and very spicy., hence hard to eat. The curry spices reek as you enter the front door. Lost my appetite right there and then. Although I tried the food anyway, will not return because of the spices.

It was a very unique experience. Went there with a friend, we were able to try multiple items and they weren't large plates so it wasn't overwhelming. The food was really good, the environment was super relaxed, but energetic, It was a great time, I would definitely go back again. Best part, it stays open late.

great for a change from usual asian food. We were seated promptly and the ordering was thru an app so worked out well. There was some delay in food being served but the place was packed so no complaints. Will definitely return to try more dishes!

Groupon seafood dinner for 2 was a good deal. Very tasty and fresh crab and shrimp combo with other tasty goodies. We’ll be coming back.
