"Vegetarian options: The grilled zucchini, corn, mushrooms, and tofu rolls were absolutely delicious!"
Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, providing us with detailed guidance on the optimal cooking times and sauce pairings for each meat option. She checked on us frequently, refilling our water and even offering complimentary watermelon and coupons to conclude our meal. Overall, it was a thoroughly satisfying dinner in terms of both food and service quality.
However, I do have one minor critique: the pricing at Ai Grill may place it in the category of a special occasion dining experience rather than an easy splurge, even though skewers are typically considered street food. While I usually think of beef and lamb skewers as the stars of Chinese barbecue, the starting price of $7 for b...
Had a delightful dinner at AI Grill in Millbrae this Sunday and it's safe to say, it exceeded my expectations! This place is a gem for those who love Asian skewers, offering a unique mix of Japanese and Chinese influences.The menu had a great variety from chicken thighs to beef, shrimp, lamb, and a good selection of veggies. Every skewer was delicious and well prepared. What really stood out was the service. The staff were friendly and attentive, always on hand to offer grilling advice, which made a big difference in the taste.The whole experience had a relaxed, authentic vibe, kind of like enjoying street food in Asia. It's a great spot if you're craving some quality skewers in a cozy atmos...
Came here not long after they opened and it has the self rotating skewer machine that makes the whole grilling process easier. They also used binchotan for their charcoal which is surprising to see since they're premium charcoal that provides excellent result and flavor. The price was good with the grand opening deal. Most of the skewers had cummin seasoning so we ordered their dumplings for the kids which was surprisingly better than some dumpling places I've tried. The inside was juicy with soup gushing out like xiao long bao. The inside was well ventilated and with binchotan it had minimal smoke and you wouldn't come out smelling like BBQ. Highly recommended for the experience and quality...
I experienced food poisoning after dining at this restaurant, and I'm quite concerned about the quality of their food. We visited on a Sunday night, and by Monday afternoon, I started feeling unwell. The main symptoms included nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. One member of our group began to improve by Tuesday, but my condition worsened. I had to go to urgent care due to severe pain, where I was diagnosed with gastrointestinal inflammation likely caused by contaminated food. I spent two days in bed before I could manage to get up and resume work. It's now Friday, and I still only feel about 50% better. I would advise caution if considering eating here.

Mixed feeling about this place. Pros Quality is slightly better than most yakitori places. new and fun concept Mom and pop shop love local small business super nice and friendly servers pricing is not too aggressive Cons Not the most comfortable environment seating is either hard benches or stools. AC is lacking. It's really warm inside the restaurant. service is extremely slow. It takes a while for them to be ready to take your order and even longer to bring the raw food out. Glad I found this new place on Yelp and had a chance to try it.
The inside of the restaurant is super chill with music and tv's. If you're looking for a place to cook your skewers and eat it fresh off the grill, this place has it all. All the skewers come out raw and you get to cook it on the grill! They will let you know how long to cook everything. Everything tasted amazing! The grilled oysters were huge!
I really enjoyed the skewers. Went with my wife while we waited for our flight. Our favorites were pork jowl, chicken cartilage, beef and lamb skewers. You really can't go wrong with any of the meat skewers. We'll be back next time and try some of the other dishes.
Super cute, fun place to get some great BBQ. Cooked right in front of you over hot coals. The hostess is wonderful and will keep you fed. 10/10 must try!

Original place. Several choices of skewers. But the price is excessive because the quantity is not there. Great service ?
