Snack on Skewers of Chinese Barbecue While Being Serenaded at This Futuristic Music Bar | Eater San Diego

"Tucked into the Genesee Avenue complex in Clairemont Mesa, I found Hi Guest Music BBQ bringing the shaokao (Chinese barbecue) trend to town with an exuberant, neon-lit interior decked out in trippy oversized sculptures and a wall-length screen where a holographic projector cycles immersive underwater and desert scenes. The mostly street-food menu is built around successive skewers—chicken wings, chicken cartilage, beef tendon, pork belly, sheep testicles, and squid—while also offering soups, noodles, rice dishes, and desserts like roasted sweet potato topped with pork floss and a rose-infused roasted milk. A small stage at the back hosts resident singers (music students and professionals) who perform ballads, pop, and country from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays through Sundays, with an open roster that even gives amateurs a chance to croon during late-night hours, so the music truly shares the spotlight with the food." - Candice Woo

New review- We came back to try more skewers, and it was another great experience dining at here. We also saw the live music performance this time, the singer sang really nice and created a nice atmosphere. The foods here are delicious as before. This time, I would like to recommend their vegi salad, it is very authentic! The service is so fast and friendly! Very good place to eat authentic Chinese barbecue. Previous review - Super fun and delicious Chinese bbq spot. I really love the atmosphere here, they have live music from Thursday to Sunday with the projectors all around, very beautiful. The foods here are great, their bbq is authentic and well grilled. I also love their ChongQing style noodles very much, which probably the top 3 I’ve ever had in US. Their desserts are delicious as well, I recommend the pear soup, fried milk and Jasmine milk tea drink.

I love Chinese skewers but he doesn't, but this is the only place he likes, so we've been here twice in two weeks. He likes lean beef. I like the roasted milk, egg plant, and fried milk. There's live music when we've been here on Friday nights. The service is great and the servers are attentive. We'll keep coming back!

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Hi Guest Music BBQ and their dishes have left a lasting impression on me. The standout was certainly the Peas Meat Sauce Noodles, which captured the essence of authenticity with peas that were cooked to soft perfection, melding seamlessly with the flavorful meat sauce. The fried rice, too, was a hit — it had a certain homemade quality that brought back fond memories of my childhood. Equally commendable were the lamb skewers, which I found irresistibly tasty and would highly recommend. This place is a must-try for those who appreciate true, home-cooked flavors.

Love love love this place!!! Great atmosphere and real authentic food! The flavor is very close to the Chinese North Eastern BBQ l've had in China. My favorite dishes are beef belly skewer, Sour Napa beef casserole, fried rice, and stewed pears. Moreover, the resident singer there is great! Love his singing, I think his name is Paris. Must try place in SD!

Great experience even on a Monday night! Service was great and super attentive. Even though no one was singing, the music they played was great for singalongs. Skewers were delicious and favorable and the sausage pancake was tasty. Would come again when I visit SD.

Beef belly skewers are a must!!! Good vibe, not too loud. There was a lady singing while we were there, Friday night. Great service~ would definitely come back with friends.

Fun Chinese BBQ (also known as Sichuan-Style Shaokao or Xinjiang BBQ) spot with live music from Thursday to Sunday after 7pm. They are still working on their liquor license, so it's BYOB for now. Make sure to grab some cold beer from Target beforehand. The lean meat, lamb, and beef skewers are delicious, and the cucumber smash is amazing. We also enjoyed some tofu and rose-infused roasted milk to round out the meal. For dessert, we had fried milk with a sweet condensed milk dipping sauce, which was a perfect ending to the meal. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Ordering is done tableside using a QR code, which features a menu with photos. The decor is fun, with oversized sculptures, LED lights, and colorful LED whales. The exterior could use a neon sign, as it looks a bit uninviting due to the tinted windows, but don't let that deter you. Just go inside and have a great time.
