Chuan Kee Skewer

Barbecue restaurant · Chinatown

"Last fall, TT Skewer, known for their Northern-style Chinese barbecue, introduced a complete overhaul of its menu to focus on traditional cuisine from the Dongbei region in Northeastern China (which stretches from Siberia to Mongolia and the Korean peninsula) and relies heavily on cabbage, root vegetables, and sturdy winter animals like lamb. The restaurant goes under the name Feng Tian Xiao Chu, (loosely translated as “Fengtian petite kitchen”) on certain food apps to emphasize the new menu, though it retains the TT Skewer signage as a homing beacon for its barbecue-loving loyals. Samuel Chueh likes to order the twice-fried pork strips tossed in a sweet, vinegary sauce, double cooked pork, earthy, spicy, and aromatic lamb ribs, and sauteed pork ribs tossed with slivers of fried potato and green beans. You can really sink into the pork stew with pickled cabbage and vermicelli noodles." - Diana Lu
