Honestly one of the best unknowns I've ever picked. Needed some food after a day of shopping and…read moremost things were already closed, so went a little out of our way to get some food. The place is a simpler local eatery, so decor wasn't exactly a designed by some of the best New York interior decorators, but it was pleasant and very calm. The food is a fusion of various Asian cuisines but it is picked very well and cooked to perfection. Kids loved the Baos and Ramen which is probably one of the best indicators of the quality. From what I can tell it is family owned and run, so service may be a little slower than most similar places but it is definitely attentive and friendlier then most.

FYI - posting this a few months late (was in the drafts)…read more I really enjoyed my first dinner at Kurobuta with a friend! We shared some small plates and tried to get a good feel for the menu. Higher end vibe with some cool fusion elements to the options available - it's clear ingredients are high quality and presentation is very important to them. Even the drinks have fun little lights in them! Service was very kind and attentive but also lets you take your time - which is lovely! We had reservations which I don't think was necessary on a weeknight, but would recommend it for weekends. They mark your reserved table with a cute sign! Overall prices were a bit high for the portions but I understand it's likely for quality. Be prepared to spend if you're hungry!

It's a tiny storefront in a small strip shopping center. Modest at best. 3-4 small tables, plenty of takeout customers in and out.

And reasonable prices! Highly recommended if you don't mind the modest atmosphere or for takeout.

Visited V Yan Hot Pot& BBQ for dinner on a week night. It is an all you can eat hot pot/BBQ…read morerestaurant, where you choose one or both. The restaurant was pretty busy, but we were seated quickly. You order your veggies, noodles, dumplings, and meats from the waitstaff and they bring it to your table. The staff is not the friendliest, nor do they check on you often, but the price can't be beat. It is the cheapest all you can eat hotpot experience I am aware of at $27.99 including meats. My favorite items were the Shanghai noodles and thinly sliced lamb. Dessert options include 8 flavors of ice cream, red bean soup, and sago. I would come back.

We came to V Yan Hot Pot & BBQ for lunch for two and chose the combination Hot Pot + BBQ option for…read more$36.99 per person. There's a lot to choose from, but overall, I don't think the combination was worth the price. For the hot pot, we tried the Original Style broth and the Chinese Herbal Style broth. The Original was okay, but the Chinese Herbal broth was really delicious and easily the better of the two. We tried fatty beef, Kobe beef, sliced beef belly, premium beef, Angus beef, steak ribs, house special pork belly, tripe, shrimp, oysters, lobster balls, tofu, seaweed, watercress, Napa cabbage, corn, pumpkin and udon noodles. The steak ribs were one of the standouts and were a very good cut of meat. The pumpkin was surprisingly good too. It tasted almost like they added butter to it. Unfortunately, the Angus beef was disappointing. There was practically no marbling, and it was a very tough cut of meat. Most of the other items were just okay. Another issue was the bathroom. It wasn't maintained particularly well, which stood out even more because the restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived. When a restaurant isn't crowded, I expect areas like the bathroom to be kept in better condition. Dessert was probably the weakest part. In my opinion, the dessert selection was almost nonexistent. There was ice cream and only a couple of other choices, including red bean and a tapioca dessert. The tapioca tasted like it came from a can. For $36.99 per person, the Hot Pot + BBQ combination just wasn't worth it for us. There were too many items that were simply average, especially considering the price. If we had chosen just the hot pot, however, I think I would have felt differently. The Chinese Herbal broth was excellent, and the hot pot alone would have felt like a much better value. Overall, there were some definite highlights, but between the inconsistent meat quality, limited dessert selection, bathroom upkeep and the overall price, three stars feels fair.

Usually we wait 15 minutes or so to be led to our table. We were seated with another nice family. This was probably the best part our meal experience. Nothing bad but not the fun it once was. Summary 1 - bar drinks were very slow. Sake very expensive so wife got lychee martini. She said it was very tasty but she waited a very long time for it. 2 - charging extra for fried rice feels cheap. Meals already expensive, why charge so much for rice? Also charging more for miso vs beef broth seems odd. 3 - chef performance was good but a little tired. Other hibachis Ive attended are similar but chefs here seem tired and bored while doing it. 4 - food is mid, but still tasty. Shrimp is the best. We will probably come again next year for nostalgia but my expectation is lowered. Love to see this place get more inspired!
