King of Skewers

This King rules. Crowned the undisputed King of Skewers, this CBD gem reigns supreme in Hamilton’s food scene with flavour, flair and plenty of fire-grilled fun.

Amid the sensory buzz, the restaurant keeps things cool with a monochrome, minimalist style – whitewashed walls, sleek black furnishings, hanging lanterns and tiny pops of green for just the right touch.

Renowned for its theatrical dining style, King of Skewers lets the sizzle of individual grills do all the talking. Sichuan cuisine gets a bold, modern twist here, starting with a choice of broths – pork, tomato or their signature spicy blend packed with rich, numbing heat and fiery flavour.

Next comes the sauce station: mix a personalised combo or opt for the house Sichuan blend of oyster sauce, garlic, sesame oil, coriander and spring onion. It’s bold, punchy and seriously crave-worthy. The menu goes big on sides, with crispy deep-fried pork and flavour-packed fried rice.

At King of Skewers, every bite brings the drama, the sizzle and a fiery twist on tradition – now that’s hotpot done right.
