They bring your drinks and a half bowl of rice when you are seated. There were plenty of choices for veggies, and they had beef, chicken and pork for the meats. There are suggested sauces on the board over the food. These are just suggestions, but you need to make sure you have enough oil and liquid to fry the food up. I used several of the "spicy" flavors, including red hot oil and pepper flake oil. There's a good amount of other flavors as well. I got the meduim bowl and filled it up. Tried the hotter oils, but didn't feel the heat that much. I ended up drizzling some Sriracha sauce on it. Everything on the food bar looked fresh. The small bowl would have been sufficient. but the medium was just a buck more, $12.95. The food was ready in just a few minutes. The only drawback for me was putting the hot food on a cool plate. Overall, a very satisfying meal. Make sure you take some dollar bills to tip the cooks.

Moments after walking in, I was seated and given the crash course: Step one -- load a bowl with your pick of proteins, toppings, and noodles. Step two -- build your sauce from a dizzying line‑up of choices. Step three -- hand it all over to the grill master, who turns it into sizzling art on the flat‑top in less time than it takes to check your phone. There are various bowl sizes and an All You Can Eat option-- for those prepared to test the laws of physics. My medium was just right. A bowl of white rice was also waiting for me at my booth: perfect for chasing the last of the sauce. My stir‑fry hit all the marks I wanted: the punch of garlic, the kick from jalapeños, and that satisfying, wok‑kissed finish. Value? Excellent -- especially if you've got the appetite (and stamina) for AYCE. I'm already plotting my return run at the grill.

I ordered a spicy tuna roll and some hamachi nigiri. Nigiri wasn't bad but the roll was just horrible.

Even though the ambiance kind of reminded me of a gas station restaurant. I finally settled on the two meat plate which had half a slab of ribs and smoked pork sausage which I was told was smoked right there at the restaurant. I placed my order which came with a 20oz drink, a dessert "banana" pudding, and barbecue beans. The ribs were okay super tender and falling off the bone but the flavor was lacking. I really appreciated all the different types and flavors of sauce but that couldn't save the ribs. As a person who grew up eating my mother's homemade banana pudding, I couldn't even try to eat what they were calling "banana" pudding. The barbecue beans had too many beans in it and no meat, for some reason I thought there would be meat in the barbecue beans. All this to say, I was underwhelmed by every part of this experience besides the customer service. I even asked a guy who was throwing away his empty food tray "how was it?" His reply was excellent? Maybe in Idaho? After all "good" and "bad" is relative. I don't think I need to have this experience again.
