Best post-ski comfort food! Skewers, ice-cold beer, and a big pot of sizzling grilled fish. The vibe here is perfect for a late-night hangout. The lamb skewers were juicy and flavorful, grilled eggplant was garlicky and melt-in-your-mouth, and the grilled sea bass is a must-order. We also loved the dry pot blue crab, and the shrimp & blue crab congee was the perfect comforting finish. Open until midnight with great food and fun atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

We came from California to spend a winter vacation in SLC, and the Grill Bar is surely a nice surprise! The food is better than most grill places we tried back home, but cheaper! Most importantly, the intestines were thoroughly cleaned without any smell. You know the significance of this if you are into intestines like we do 😀

Everything was delicious and well prepared. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, the clay pot congee was comforting and rich, and the grilled skewers were nicely seasoned. Great food for sharing, and we really enjoyed the meal.

I’m pretty picky about Chinese food, and this place really hit the spot. The flavors are very authentic and remind me of food back home. The grilled skewers were juicy, well-seasoned, and not overly salty, and the seafood congee was super comforting—perfect for colder nights in Salt Lake City.
I really liked the tablet ordering system with both English and Chinese, which made ordering easy and convenient. The restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable, and it doesn’t feel rushed at all.
Overall, great food, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re craving real Chinese-style BBQ, Grill Bar – 炭烤吧 is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back for sure.

I really enjoyed the food. The lobster was better than the shrimp. The flavor was all there but by no means they are jumbo shrimp making it a bit difficult to peel. And although the shrimp were cut they were not clean exposing that thick black vein of crap. Needless to say I had to go through the trouble of cleaning them out.
I will definitely return, next time I’m going for the fish. I wish they had more fried rice choices. The only choice is fried rice with egg. I like that every table can order from a table that illustrates an image of every item. The establishment is nice and clean and the service is good although when I went it was early and practically empty

This is a place I come to quite often. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the environment is comfortable, and the flavors suit my taste really well. My absolute favorites are their seafood congee and dry pot shrimp — I order them almost every time. The skewers and stir-fried dishes are also solid and consistently good. Overall, a reliable spot that I enjoy coming back to.

it completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment the food arrived, the aroma of charcoal and spices filled the air — rich, smoky, and incredibly inviting. The skewers were grilled to perfection: crispy and slightly charred on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. Every bite carried layers of flavor, from the fragrant cumin and chili powder to the subtle sweetness of the marinade.
What impressed me most was the balance of seasoning. The lamb skewers were bold without being overwhelming, the grilled vegetables absorbed the smoky flavor beautifully, and even simple dishes like grilled tofu felt elevated. Paired with cold drinks and a lively atmosphere, the meal felt both comforting and exciting.
The staff were attentive and friendly, constantly making sure the grill was just right and recommending their signature dishes. It wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience full of warmth, flavor, and energy. This place truly captures the spirit of Chinese barbecue, and I can’t wait to come back again.

If you want authentic Chinese food, I recommend this place.
Overall, most of the dishes are delicious.
The lamb skewers are especially tender and not overly salty—truly delicious. The fried rice was also really tasty. If possible, I recommend pairing it with beer

The restaurant is spacious and clean. The server was nice but everything (except the menu, fortunately) is in Chinese. Considered that they are pretty new, I hope they add English to their system soon. I was kind of sad when I heard that another Chinese bbq (shaokao) place closed down and was excited that this place open. I did not disappointed. Disclaimer that I’m not Chinese so I can’t say that the food is authentic or good enough for Chinese standard but for a person who has tried this kind of foods before elsewhere, they are pretty good. The meat is tender and flavorful. My favorite is lamb skewers and beef skewers. The eggplant is also nice. I ordered medium hot and there is some kick in it, although I will probably try hot next time!
