Ended up at K-Town KBBQ & Hot Pot after making a trip to pick up the SO from a car show in…read moreStockton, ironic I know. The car show happened to take place in the same parking lot as K-Town, so we just decided to have dinner here instead of sitting in the drive-thru line at In-N-Out. The inside is modernly lit with lots of wood motif and black. Oversized lightbulbs filled with faux flower petals hang from the ceiling. A random cartoon plays on the wall TV. For a weekday dinner bbq, we paid about $37 per person with no additional hot pot add-on. We got a good spread of drinks (they have boba!), but they are also an additional cost. The AYCE includes access to the buffet area, which has sushi (sashimi!), buffalo wings, seafood boil, a bunch of fried/breaded offerings, and all the sauces/accoutrements for both hotpot and kbbq. I was impressed by the short rib marinade here. The beef was meaty with a good texture. Some of the cubed meats were a little tough but could be due to the way we cooked it. The pork belly was sliced too thin for my liking (too bacony). We got the cheese sticks from the buffet and reheated them over the grill and made our own version of a Chili's Triple Dipper. Service was fine. We placed our orders with a guy and he would come around occasionally for a grill change and taking away plates. Between the two KBBQ AYCE I've been to in Stockton recently, I think K-Town wins. Overall, I came out stuffed and would definitely return.

Finally getting to write a review on one of our Korean BBQ faves…read more Hubby picked to go here for his birthday this last Tuesday. We got there at 530pm and it hadn't gotten too busy at that point. Greeted and seated immediately. We usually don't do the hot pot side (we will try it some day) but the variety of meats were exactly what we normally order. We usually only do beef, but they have seafood, chicken and pork too. The salad and hot bar had quite a few options, and again I always defer to my favorites. Kim Chi, Pickled Daikon, etc etc. you'll have to check it out. Pretty big restaurant, feels spacious, and you're not right on top of your neighbor. We love that we can stay local and not have to travel to Elk Grove/Stockton Our server was friendly and attentive. Be back again soon

Came to Yogi with the SO for a late lunch. I have been craving ayce kbbq and this was one of the…read moretwo we were near by that day. Arriving at this building situated on the corner of the 5 freeway exit and Benjamin Holt, it's painted dark grey with plenty of parking. I was confused on where the front door is, but it's the one with the black awning and railings around it. The inside is very industrial with lots of black/grey. KPop plays loudly throughout. Pricing is around $34 per person, which is not bad considering you not only get kbbq meats to grill, but a buffet area with all types of goodies. The buffet area consisted of typical kbbq accoutrements (raw garlic, fresh jalapeno, kimchi, japchae, pickled radish, etc.), but also ribs, fried chicken wings, sushi (!!!), Mexican fare (Spanish rice, beans, foil-wrapped burritos?, nacho cheese/chips, pickled jalapeno/carrots), and some dessert options. We were seated immediately and the person waiting on us provided instructions on how to order (through your phone using a QR code). I liked this method since it allowed us to order whenever we felt ready instead of having to flag someone down. Most everything came by robot so that was cool. Service by the human was great since it was really only us in the restaurant for a majority of our meal. Waters refilled constantly and frequent grill changes. We mainly ordered the beef options and one pork belly. I would avoid the intestines here as they did not taste fresh nor great. There are also made-to-order apps like the corn cheese ramen. This was tasty and big enough to share with at least 3 people. The buffet bar items were just OK. Skip the sushi here as it is definitely catered to people who like grocery store sushi. Appreciated that there was such a large variety even if the quality isn't top-tier. After our meal, we both agreed this place was only OK and fulfilled our kbbq craving for a while.

What began as a Korean BBQ is now a Korean/Mexican fusion BBQ and Sushi...I have no problem with…read moreany of these meals. But it's disappointing to pay for a KBBQ experience and find out that a majority of the self serve has been replaced with Mexican cuisine. Our most recent visit saw open faced buffet trays containing canned nacho cheese sauce/tortilla chips/pico de gallo/cold tortillas/limes/canned jalapeños/chicharrones...and miso soup is now bean soup. We've been coming since opening month. At the beginning, they were on the mark! Amazing quality, selection, service, you name it. We brought friends and family here instead of driving out of town for other chains. But then they began changing the menu,messing with the prices, and abandoning quality checks. 1.) They took away the made-to-order appetizers. 2.) They added a sushi bar, and I'm lead to believe it's unpopular because every time we leave, we see the same dried out pieces from when we first arrived 3.) Prices fluctuate across every visit and the menu items that come with each tier, are adjusted. Once upon a time, I would've been happy to pay higher prices, had they just left things alone and stayed true. Now, every visit entails something new, from menu items to prices. Dining out is too expensive to jerk customers around, at $35/person (not including premium meat tiers/premium appetizers/drinks/tips/etc.) We will not be coming back. *the staff are courteous and we have never had any issue with them. It's the business practice that I fault*

You can definitely that the quality of meat is a bit better than some of the competition, as the prime ribeye steak for example is well marbled and tender. Appetizers are really solid for the AYCE menu, like cold noodles + steamed egg were really fantastic. Also has the green onion pancakes that I'm a huge fan of. Highly recommend you try ordering their marinated galbi(short rib). It isn't a extremely sweet version, but has great depth of flavor. Service? Not many servers, but they were quite attentive to any requests and were competent.

The purity rep was super patient - going over the different products with us and even gifting us with a little gift set and out with purchase. Michelle helped us with figuring out concealer color and breaking the tie in lip color. We ended up getting two drawings because of our purchase. On to the rest of the store. We got lunch boxes and they were meh. I like the banchan and the quantity of food, but the protein dishes were lacking in freshness - the eel was better than the kalbi, which was just lackluster at best. Will go for the sushi next time. I did score black rice and toasted black sesame seeds along with rice paper. And the gluten free baked goods of course. Until next time!

We walked in for dinner, and the restaurant was clean, which was what we liked. We were greeted by…read morethe friendly and inviting staff member, Kira, as we walked through the door. We arrived at 7:40 PM, and the manager, Joseph, told us the restaurant would close in 10 minutes. I said that's OK. We'll order the food and eat as much as we can there until we have to leave, and then we will leave by the time we are asked to leave. My boyfriend, Jeff, thought the restaurant was open until 8 PM, so he checked the website. It said the location was open till 8 PM, so he walked outside to check the time on the door, and it read 8 PM. There were no other signs that said they were closing at 7:50 PM. Jeff called somebody to complain about the time discrepancy while we were waiting for our order to arrive. When our order arrived, Kira brought our food to the table in a really cute to-go bag, and I like that she listened to us that we would eat as much food as we could while we were at the restaurant and then take the rest to eat at home when it came closer to 8 PM. Our food was ready pretty quickly; we had plenty of time to finish our food before 8 PM. However, I think Jeff just wanted the manager to be upfront with him and say that the store was closing at 8 PM, so it's better to take your food to go or something like that, not make up an arbitrary time to say what time the restaurant was closed. I'm rating this Koja kitchen location four stars mainly because of the outstanding customer service provided by Kira. She was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the experience very pleasant. I wish more customer service representatives could be as kind and easy to talk to as she is.

In the Tri-Valley, there are several Korean BBQ options and we've tried most. YakiniQ consistently gets our business for consistent quality.

I cannot call YakiniQ a backup since the family always enjoys the food and ordering process here. I am glad we came here instead. Service is always fast, attentive and efficient.

The internet was down so it was cash only - which was fine, inconvenient, but not their fault. We ordered with the hostess because their QR code menu wasn't working, probably due to the internet being out. Also fine. We ordered two plates of spicy bulgogi, one order of chicken, and three bowls of rice. The rice was dry, but that's fine because that's not why you go to kbbq. The portions were small, which should have been fine because it's all you can eat. However, we could not get any more service. The manager had taken over taking orders, and we watched her walk past our table multiple times. We watched her service other tables and not hear us try to get her attention. We got the attention of the hostess (with the help of the table next to us, who was also struggling to get any attention) who then said the manager would be right over to us. We never spoke to a manager. We decided to ask for the check instead. I had to step out because my baby was becoming a handful. My husband asked for the check, expressing that paying the full charge for the lack of service or food we received felt disrespectful, and was told the manager could help us. The manager never spoke to him, despite him waiting after the hostess told him again that she would. The only person in our group of three who left satisfied at all had already ate a lunch somewhere else before. My husband and I left hungry and disappointed. Two stars because the hostess was friendly. We will not be back.
