Clients Reviews

I came here for the $1.00 lamb skewers that my friends were bragging about and they did not disappoint. Not only were they only $1.00 per skewer, if you ordered ten skewers, then you got one FOR FREE. WOW. Like their prices weren't already crazy low, they gotta throw a complimentary one in there too? Impressive. The place is tiny, maximum capacity of 13 people, according to the fire department. Restaurant is clean though and not cluttered at all. Service is friendly and excellent. When you walk in, the ladies are there in the corner sliding the raw meat onto the sticks, so you know they're super fresh. I would totally make the drive for those skewers again. They were cooked to perfection- slightly fatty, moist and perfectly seasoned with the right amount of cumin. Loved it!

Loved it! Usually I go for spicey dishes, but I was really feeling like the lamb noodle soup, it was super tasty. Staff was fun, enjoyed the experience! Would come again if in LA :)

It's a small but wonderful hole in the wall. Go on off times or you may have a long line ahead of you. Best lamb soup!! And lamb casserole is out of this world.

Food is SO good here..the first time we came we met the owner who is a sweetheart and made sure we had a good experience. The second time they were soo packed! The other servers are not as friendly, but its what you expect from Asian restaurants haha..food is great..so far I have tried their skewers, lamb casserole hot pot and their hot and sour noodles :)

Hole in the wall that specializes in lamb. Lamb soup has generous chunks of tender Lamb meat. Lamb skewers are gently touched with cumin and spices. Recommended for the lamb. Baaaah.

Known as Cua Hui Lou, by those in the know, the sign on its exterior simply says: "Szechuan." They only take cash, but for really delicious food, it's a minor inconvenience imo. I've been to a number of Szechuan/Sichuan places and although it's not fancy in terms of ambience and plating of dishes, Cua Hua Lou is my favorite in terms of taste.
