Night Market BBQ
7.6
A casual skewer stop that prioritizes convenience and late hours over polish, with a menu built for quick, shareable snacking. The best experience comes from ordering in rounds—start with lamb and chicken skewers, then add one shellfish or veg item if you’re still hungry.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spicy Clams, Cumin Lamb Skewers, Grilled Enoki Mushroom

What makes it special: Late-night Chinese skewers and small plates with fast turnaround.
Who should go: Night owls craving skewers and beer snacks
When to visit: After 10pm when most kitchens slow down
What to order: Lamb skewers, clams, one vegetable skewer
Insider tip: Order in two rounds—you’ll avoid over-ordering and cold skewers.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability late evening and overnight. Paid municipal lots nearby can be easier than circling.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, hoodies, and late-night comfort wear fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during peak late-night hours; conversation is possible but not intimate.
Weekend wait: 10–20 min after 10pm; longer closer to midnight if groups stack up.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—this spot is primarily used at night.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—vegetable skewers and a few veg sides; best as a small add-on rather than a full meal.
Vegan options: Very limited—some plain vegetable skewers; sauces and seasonings may contain animal products.
Gluten-free options: Limited—skewers are grilled but marinades and seasonings often include soy-based sauces; cross-contact likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re both casual eaters—fun and low-pressure, but loud and utilitarian rather than romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm. Go later at night for the quickest turnover.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal—late hours, smoky grilling, and a beer-snack vibe make it better for teens and adults than young kids.
Best For
Better for: Late-night availability, fast skewer turnaround, and flexible ordering in small rounds.
Skip if: You want polished service, a quiet sit-down meal, or broad dietary accommodations—choose a full-service BBQ room instead.
