My husband and I have been here twice now and it's definitely one of the better KBBQ spots in Sacramento. The sushi is fresh, the meat is quality, and you can order so much in each round! Service is great and there is a ton of seating. Standouts for us are the Kobe beef carpaccio, chicken wings, short ribs, garlic shrimp and pork belly. You really can't go wrong with their sushi either. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

We went on a Saturday at 5:20 and there was already a line. We waited about 50 minutes for a table for party of two but all tables seem to be made for at least 4 people. Saturdays are Gold menu only. Our server Aiden (??spelling) was very good. Since we had never been there before, he explained the menu and ordering process to us. He also changed the grill for us midway through and checked in on us to see if we wanted to order more. Food was very good and sushi tasted fresh. Hand rolls looked very impressive and tasted good too. I wish my stomach was bigger so I could try more things on the menu. Our table and restaurant were clean and orderly. However I went to bathroom around 6 pm and they were already out of TP in one stall and paper towel was empty...maybe check on that more often?? read more

The food was amazing! The portions for their appetizers and sides were huge! You can share the cheese corn and garlic pepper rice for almost 3 people! The sushi was amazing , it all tasted so good and melted in my mouth! I definitely would be back again 10/10 The customer service was amazing! I had the tall blonde girl with a claw clip in her pontytail with black glasses. She was very attentive! Very fast. She kept the flow going! Always had patience even when he had questions! I really like her and I hope when I do go back she's always my server :) read more

Came here on a Saturday at 5:15pm and we waiting about 50 minutes for a table for two. The place was VERY crowded and with an even larger amount of people waiting outside when we left. Clean and orderly restaurant. Our server was friendly and attentive and explained the menu to us. He came around a couple of times to check on us for additional orders and also to replace the grill midway. A+ for service. The tier defaults to Gold on the weekend. The food quality was good and I felt we got our money's worth. A lot of appetizer/sushi/meat options. The squid salad from the salad bar is a must try. The Pepper Beef Rice was surprisingly very good as well. All of the sashimi as very fresh. I also loved the beef carpaccio. The only area of improvement I can think of was the restroom. Probably needs to be cleaned more frequently and refills on toilet paper and paper towels. All in all, it was a great dining experience. On par with quality Korean BBQ AYCE. And we me the requirements, MUST BE COW. We definitely felt like Cows after we ate all that food :) read more

Somehow found our way to Citrus Heights and Must Be Cow was bookmarked so we had to check it out! We arrived on a Friday for lunch so we had Gold for $46 per person. They have a self-serve bar with side dishes and ice cream options. I was surprised to see a very extensive sushi menu so we ordered the ahi tuna and summer hand roll to see if we liked the taste of the fish. The ahi tuna was not great and I couldn't finish it. The summer hand roll was much better but it wasn't enough to order anything else from the sushi menu. We ordered the first 6 listed in non-marined meats section (beef karubi, beef top round, boneless short rib, rib eye steak, brisket, and pork belly) along with an assortment of veggies. We didn't like the brisket much but everything else was decent. Service here was amazing! We never had to wait too long after placing our order. Our server Alex checked on us very regularly and empty plates were always cleared right away. Overall, this is a very westernized experience of sushi and KBBQ and I don't think I would find myself back here. My standard for sushi and meat is a bit higher than what Must Be Cow can offer but giving 4 stars because the service was so great. read more

Overall, the food was really good and our party left full and very satisfied. The food quality was top notch and you can't always expect that from AYCE food establishments. Why did I remove two stars you might ask? The first and biggest one is the lack of transparency on their pricing for the Gold and Silver tier. We'd never been to this restaurant before, so I was looking into this place online as a possible spot for my birthday. I found prices for their Gold and Silver tier on their website: $30.99 and $45.99. OK. We figured we'd opt for the Silver tier for everyone's budget. After arriving and waiting 30 minutes to be seated, we go inside to find that only the Gold $45.99 option is avaliable Friday-Sunday and an automatic 18% tip for parties of 6 or more. We were all understandably miffed and I was explaining to the group that there was no mention of this on their website. I went back and looked since then to confirm. Nowhere on their website is this listed. This is a big thing to miss and honestly I find it completely deceptive. We arrived, already waited 30 minutes, so why try and go elsewhere at this point? Also, no reservations on weekends unless you have $12+ people (per their site). My next issue. At the end of our meal, our server asks if we were celebrating anything. I said it was my birthday on Monday and we were celebrating today (Saturday). He proceeded to tell me that if it was my actual birthday, that I would get a discount and a free meal with 6+ people or more. Honestly, this stung...because a little too late and already after finding out I'm going to be spending way more than I anticipated because of the deceptive menu pricing. Finally, a table next to ours had a cake brought out and singing by the staff. I got none of that. They brought the check and then brought out my cupcakes they put in the fridge and just sat them on the table and left. No plates, silverware, nothing. So my 3 stars are for the food. The deceptive pricing and service could definitely be improved. See screenshots of the website where nothing at all is mentioned about the Silver tier only being available Monday- Thursday. read more

We have a favorite sushi spot that we always go to, but today we decided to try somewhere new for my husband's birthday. I came across Must Be Cow on Yelp and saw it had great reviews. Boy, were those reviews right! Even on a Tuesday, the restaurant was busy. As soon as you walk in, you check yourself into the waitlist using a computer kiosk and receive a text confirming your spot in line. We only waited about five minutes before being seated. If you're a party of two or three, you likely won't need a reservation. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained. We love sushi, so finding a place that offers both all-you-can-eat sushi and Korean BBQ was a huge win. There are also a few fun spots around the restaurant for taking pictures and selfies. The tables were spotless, and I especially appreciated how clean the BBQ grill was. Our server was friendly, attentive, and took the time to walk us through the menu. He recommended a few of his favorite dishes, and my husband went with one of his suggestions and was not disappointed. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The fish was fresh, the sushi was amazing, and the hand rolls were absolutely delicious. The Ahi Tuna Chip was out of this world and easily one of our favorite items of the night. There are two all-you-can-eat options: Silver and Gold. The Gold option includes a larger variety of menu items, and that's the one we chose. If it's your birthday, don't forget to bring your ID! You'll receive a free drink and $15 off your meal, which was a nice surprise. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. If you're looking for fresh sushi, delicious Korean BBQ, great service, and a fun dining experience, Must Be Cow is well worth a visit. read more

Let's be real, this place is the new kbbq spot. Thankful I made a reservation. I was surprised at how busy it was for a Tuesday! There were so many people flowing in, it looked like they reached capacity. The vibe was high energy. Shocking for a weeknight... and in this economy haha My group of 6 chose the Gold option which includes both sushi and all meats. Great choice imo. Sushi was excellent. We kept ordering the carpaccios and sashimi. Were weren't shy with our orders. Quick to come out yet they still were able to maintain their presentation. Unfortunately no pictures of them lol but I did snag a picture of their hand rolls which were delicious. Next time I'll skip them so make room for the Wagyu. WOW on the meat quality. Galbi, Wagyu, steak were on rotation. Get your monies worth. Disappointed in the pork belly, sure it was long but thin - I like thicker cuts. Had the lychee tower as well. Def got a decent buzz or was it a sugar rush. Either way, not a bad option if you're trying to enjoy the meal. Their steamed egg still needs a bit of work as ours came out watery, a little over cooked. The japchae need a bit more flavor. The kimchi and cucumbers hit. Unfortunately their radish tastes a bit off. Not cold, crisp and refreshing as other places either. Overall great experience for first time with my friends. PRO TIP: make a reservation! read more

I think Must Be Cow has taken the #1 spot as my favorite AYCE KBBQ... what's even better is that it's AYCE sushi as well. Everything we ordered was great. The quality of the meats were there, sushi was great, and the service was amazing. The japchae and corn cheese were a HITTTT at my table. Some of the sashimi pieces were small... but good thing it's AYCE right? The spicy salmon hand roll was SO GOOD. Please do try it if you get the chance. We came on a Friday, and to no surprise, there was a LONGGGG wait time. Especially since it was also grad week for Sacramento State, so people also had lots to celebrate. read more

5/29/26 Back for dinner with the fambam Ordered the usual suspects as last review and tried tofu seafood soup and the kimchi beef pepper rice this time and it was worth the try! If you want dessert (outside of the ice cream), order it ahead of getting the bill cuz it takes a really long time before you get it..... It could drag on and could be the cause to almost killing a great dinner if you were looking forward to eating warm sesame balls to finish your meal...so try to order ahead. Service was good, orders outside of dessert comes quick! Ambiance is busy after 6pm like most dinner places :) read more

Mother's Day dinner on a Saturday a couple weeks after Mother's Day. HAH! Arrived at 4:30 and it wasn't busy yet, I was quoted 15 minutes for a party of 7. I waited until 5 pm to put my name down and it was still 15 minutes. I put my name down anyways, because the hostess stated she would put me back in around 5:20 for my party that is arriving around that time for l our 5:30 dinner. We waited about 30 minutes and sat at 6pm. We had the nice little back room with 4 booths. It was much cooler back there and less smoke from the grilling. Our server was Anthony, he seemed not happy at first and progressively had better customer service along the way. The employees dropping off the food, one especially was so enthusiastic we LOVED it! I hope he is the shift manager, he needs to be with that customer service. GOLD menu- 39.99- only gold menu for dinner. SILVER menu is $10 cheaper- $29.99a only for lunch. Both menus have AYCE meat and sushi- just different cuts of meat for each tier. I was skeptical about the sushi at first, but it all came out pretty fresh and I did not get sick. I only eat sashimi and I don't eat Nigiri or sushi rolls. I really like their pepper, Finn style sashimi plate plates. No Korean sides like the other all you can eat Korean barbecue restaurants, which I don't mind. There are plenty of appetizer choices to choose from. They do have an appetizer sides self serve bar with kimchi, pickled garlic, ginger and what not. Ribeye was not the best cut but what can you expect when it is at and all you can eat place. But pretty great for ayce. Bone in short ribs were cut pretty thick, but that is my go to when I go to Korean barbecue. Kobe beef was spectacular and so was the beef belly. Pork jowl, I wish it was cut just a bit thinner, but I love it because not every place has it. I wish they had pork intestines, not every place has this either. Pork belly was pretty good. I love that they do not charge for pieces of lettuce on the side. It is a part of the all-you-can-eat menu. All in all, it's not bad and a lot more affordable than other all you can eat Korean barbecue places that cost more and does not taste as good. I am sure that they will be raising their prices once they establish customers to be more comparable to other Korean barbecue all you can eat restaurant prices. read more

This place opened up late last year and I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it out. First the food, the meat was so fresh and the cuts were all well done with the perfect amount to be able to grill (not too thin or not too large where it doesn't cook) The options that were seasoned were done well, and I especially loved finger cut and the galbi short rib. The hand rolls were a good size and the sashimi was fresh. The service was super friendly and helpful with suggestions for picks for our hand rolls. I will say being at a newer place is nice the grills didn't have those random hotter spots or inconsistency in the plate temperature. The vents dropping down so low kept the smoke at a low level even when it was in the middle of a weekend lunch rush. Finally The inside was well done and had a nice modern feel. Would definitely come back. read more

Must Be Cow - Korean Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

We recently visited Must Be Cow in Citrus Heights for the first time to celebrate my husband's birthday, and overall, it was a solid experience with a few standout highlights. We arrived on a Friday around 5 PM and were pleasantly surprised that the wait was minimal, especially since they do not take reservations for parties of two. Parking was easy. As a nice birthday perk, my husband received $15 off, which was a thoughtful touch. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and visually inviting. The service team was friendly, attentive, and courteous throughout our visit, which made the experience even more enjoyable. As someone currently following a low-carb, high-protein diet, Korean BBQ is always a great fit, and Must Be Cow delivered with a wide and fresh selection of meats and sides. The salmon carpaccio and Kobe carpaccio were excellent--both flavorful and well-prepared. The squid and mushroom salad was also fresh and tasty. Most of the meat selection was delicious, though the ribeye was a bit underwhelming. While it was a generous cut, it lacked seasoning, so I recommend adding your own before grilling to bring out its full potential. The biggest disappointment was the absence of fresh oysters. Based on their advertising, that was actually the main reason we chose to drive 45 minutes instead of going to our usual spots in Elk Grove, which are much closer. It would be great to see oysters return to the menu in the future. Would we come back? Possibly--though the distance is a factor. That said, if oysters make a comeback, we would absolutely return without hesitation. Overall, a great spot with quality food and service. Definitely worth trying. read more

Heard about this new KBBQ spot and decided to give it a try. I called ahead before coming in for lunch to see how busy they were. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday afternoon, and we were seated right away. It started picking up around the time we finished. We enjoyed the sushi more than the KBBQ, so the Gold pricing made it worth it in that sense. One thing to note on the weekends is that they offer Gold pricing ($39.99) Fri-Sun only, which isn't bad. FOOD REVIEW APPETIZERS Salmon Carpaccio - 3/5: This was okay. It would've been more enjoyable if it was prepared like the hamachi jalapeño dish. Hamachi Jalapeño - 4/5 I'm a fan of this Ahi Tuna - 3.5/5: The sauce was too sweet for my taste. Kobe Beef Carpaccio - 5/5: This was our favorite appetizer. Spicy Salmon Chips - 3/5: Didn't taste any spice and lacked some flavor. Pepper Tuna Tataki - 4/5: This was good. HAND ROLLS Spicy Salmon Hand Roll - 5/5 Mango Salmon Hand Roll - 5/5 Philadelphia Hand Roll - 3/5: Too much cream cheese. Sunrise Hand Roll - 5/5 Sunset Hand Roll - 5/5: This was my favorite. Summer Hand Roll - 5/5 Surf Clam Sashimi - 3.5/5 KBBQ American Kobe Beef - 3/5 Beef Brisket - 3/5 Ribeye Steak - 3.5/5 Finger Short Rib - 3.5/5: Lacked flavor Galbi Short Ribs - 3.5/5: Lacked flavor SIDE DISHES Japchae - 4/5: I enjoyed this. Kimchi - 3/5 Cucumber - 3/5 DESSERT We tried all three dessert items, and they were okay. read more

Gold menu review, Must Be Cow is our new favorite Korean BBQ. Like every new Korean place the decor is cool and fun. The Australian Waygu items are scrumptious and they are so fatty you really get full faster than anticipated. The sushi hand rolls were good and soy garlic chicken wings were better than Bonchon's. The Silver menu is only available Monday thru Thursday. Gold is the only option Friday-Sunday. I doubt the silver menu is worth it as the Australian Waygu is the star at Must Be Cow. read more

I LOVE this place! Good music, good vibes, and the best service EVER! Alex and Andy are such a treat everytime we come, very attentive to any needs and even let us have some music input. They are so welcoming and I swear we are here like every other week now. The food is amazing, and everything you get for the price can't be beat. They have a cold bar that you can get a plethora of sides and then you can order lots of different sides like dumplings, chicken wings, edamame, cheese fries, sushi etc. and it's ALL good. We love this place so much and besides the food it's the people that keep us coming back. Can't wait to see our new friends Alex and Andy when we return. Definitely check this place out for good food, company and vibes, I promise you'll keep coming back! Order: finger short ribs, beef toro, dumplings, wings, cheese fries, rice, edamame and REPEAT these... TRUST. Oh and there's free ice cream when you leave, I'm telling you it just doesn't get better than MUST BE COW read more

There are plenty of KBBQ spots in Sacramento, so I was a little hesitant to try this place at first. The restaurant has a good amount of seating, but the larger tables would definitely benefit from having two grills instead of just one. They offer two pricing options for AYCE. My favorite is the higher-tier menu, which I believe is around $49 per person. It includes unlimited American Kobe beef, and that cut is absolutely delicious. This menu also comes with a wide variety of other meats, seafood, sushi rolls and appetizers. There's also a simple salad bar with garlic, lettuce, kimchi cucumbers, and other sides that pair really well with Korean BBQ. The service was great -- friendly staff and quick service throughout the meal. Must Be Cow has definitely become one of my go-to KBBQ spots in Sacramento. read more

Have been here a couple of times now, and arguably my favorite place in Sacramento to grab KBBQ. The combination of sushi and KBBQ is a match made in heaven for me, personally. The fact that there's both hand rolls and sashimi is awesome. It's great to have that, in addition to the KBBQ options. The fact that you can get a decent amount per round also makes it even better. The amount of options you can get per round makes me a happy camper, you won't be left thinking that there's too much time in between bites. Service is great too, constantly checking. As of now, arguably my favorite in the area. read more

What a great combo when you're craving both BBQ and sushi, especially at a solid value of $39.99 (as of April 2026)! Cute cow statue out front and vibes that reminded me of a budget-friendly version of a Chubby Group spot. Order unlimited number of times within 90 minutes by flagging down your server. Adrian was our temporary server, and you could immediately feel his energy... attentive, helpful, and genuinely engaged. When our regular server returned from break, it was a 180... she didn't introduce herself nor regularly check-in if we wanted to order more, and the contrast was noticeable; the service energy just wasn't the same. Food wise, items were hit or miss. ==HITS== I really liked the self-serve bar for salad, and there were also melona bars for dessert, one per customer! The handrolls were very generous with avocado (almost a bit too much that I had to deconstruct them to eat it). The truffle carpaccio was excellent and easily one of my favorite dish, along with Kobe beef. The salmon carpaccio with unagi sauce was rich. I'm really glad I tried the pepper rice last minute, reminds me of Pepper Lunch. The server recommended it as a shareable dish for two, but I ended up finishing the WHOLE thing mmm! Served on a sizzling skillet and mixed tableside, it was such a delight. Must order! ==MISSES== Unfortunately, a few of my favorite (and popular) sides were unavailable... Fish cake and bean sprouts. I expected classic wonton-style chips for ahi tuna chips, but they came on thick, nacho-like baseball game chips. Brisket was on the leaner side and a bit chewy. The steamed egg was a bit bland. read more

LP 4/25/26 Parking 5/5 Restaurant 5/5 Clean, great seatings, love the decorations and layout Service 5/5 clean staff, super friendly and attentive. Ambiance 5/5 great music, vibes and food Bathroom 5/5 smells great, soap sensor but not the water part , but paper towel is. (Ladies restroom was a little messy w/ TP on the ground ‍) I'm not sure how often someone checks but anywho I believe that grown adults should be able to pick up after themselves The moment you walk in you're in "aweeeee." Super cute theme and decor throughout the entire restaurant. A lot of thought has been put into this new place that used to be a pizza parlor I believed. I've waited for this place to open up and once it did I had a chance until recently. I am so glad that I have dropped in to gain the experience. I love the concept of the seaweed taco like rolls instead of the round ones which I feel not too much carb and you have options to try all the other rolls they have to offer. (Downsize is a lot of raw options for those who don't consume raw but cooked only). But hey I took it and put it on the grill Lots of meet options and if you're a vegetarian I would recommend you to look elsewhere. Pescatarian has a lots of raw options but for the grill it's only a few. (Recommended ordering raw fish and putting it in the grill) You're welcome. Overall my dinning experience 5/5 and I'm taking all my meet lovers there. So prepare to make extra room in the empty belly and you have 90 minutes to load up to become as big as a "COW." Just like the theme read more

Meat and sushi were really fresh. Sushi comes in hand rolls which was awesome and easy to eat. My server Alexis was wonderful and helpful. All the food was good quality.

There was 3 in our party on a Friday at about 5:30ish. The wait was about 25 minutes. I had higher expectations based on social media reviews. What is important to me is the flavor and quality of the food aside from cost. The shaved ice is not part of the meal deal-for the price paid, I'd rather just go to an actual Korean shaved ice place that specializes in deserts. The shaved ice is just regular crushed ice-it's not finely shaved cream like a true bingsu. As for the appetizers, meats and appetizers it was not of top quality nor was the meats flavored or seasoned the way I'd like my Korean bbq. There was only two sauces offered aside from salt. I enjoyed the corn on the skillet. I did enjoy the brown sugar rice desert-tasted like mochi boba-that was the best part of my experience-different and unique! The service was good and friendly-most of all the staff was helpful. With many competitors now this place wouldn't be my first choice. read more

The food was all so amazing. We tried to order at least one of most items on the menu. Our server, Tyler, was fantastic! He checked up on us and took our order very often, guided us through the menu, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the food. The restaurant itself is spacious, and super adorable waiting area. The big cow with the sashimi and kaws statues were so cute, and the restaurant is super lively and well-lit. We were a party of 8, and the table only came with one grill in the middle. But the grill was like industrial iron pan grill, so it cooked the meat so well. The stars of the show were definitely the salmon carpaccio and their beef items. Their beef was juicy and well marinated. The salmon was just as delicious and smooth, and the sauce had hints of sweetness. Appetizers, beers, pepper plate, and desserts were also super delicious! I liked their kimchi tofu soup, however it felt like it was lacking an extra flavor.. probably needed some more sesame oil. And the fact they carried purple rice was the cherry on top, I love purple rice! And I enjoyed the side dish buffet bar and their ice cream fridge! They had a whole variety of different classic melona bars and ice cream cups. read more

Great Korean BBQ spot in town! Parking: free plenty, but get crowded easily. There's some nearby parking complex for overflow. Wait-time: we went on weekends dinner, but didn't wait that long (only around 10 min) for group of 12 people for 2 tables. Each table comfortably sit 6 people. Restroom: clean decent Your party (in same table) will order same package. I would say their meats are good quality. Along with bibimbap, sushi rolls, chicken wings, etc. There is a table for all condiments. At the end, you can get ice cream of your choice from the fridge in the middle corner, next to condiments table. Service: decent. Only take 2 credit cards per table. read more

Came with a large group. They have a gold and silver menu. Our group wanted to eat galbi which is not on the silver menu so we opted for the gold which is $39.99 pp vs $28.99 pp. The sashimi slices were paper thin. You could barely taste the fish. There were larger, thicker slices on the hand rolls which were good. I like they have the choice of kbbq and sushi. The flavors of the hand rolls and meats were good. Service was great and our group enjoyed our food read more

Came here to try it after hearing a lot about it. They only offer the gold menu on weekends. We were seated in a booth which was nice for the privacy but it's a bit annoying to have to slide in and out. The kbbq meat quality is okay overall but there was nothing special. Even their kobe beef tasted pretty average to me. The fish quality was pretty good. Some types of fish were definitely fresher than others though. The hand rolls gave a decent amount of fish and were overall good. They have a lot of appetizer options which was nice. Servers were kind and good about putting in our orders. Only problem was when we were ready for the bill our server was no where to be found for over 15 minutes, not sure if they were on break or a shift change. We ended up just pulling a different worker to pay. Overall a decent place but I think at the price you pay you can get better kbbq meat quality. It is also a bit of a strange combo to eat both kbbq and sushi at once so don't think it's worth the extra for sushi read more

Came in during dinner and was able to be seated right away. It's a more modernized ambiance kbbq spot. The wagyu was amazing! The bulgogi and galbi were super good!

Super disappointing, this would easily be my favorite kbbq spot in Sac if they served it. read more

I just went to Must Be Cow and I'm honestly really impressed. Food: The food was so good. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the meat was cooked perfectly super juicy and tender. You can tell they actually care about the quality, which I really appreciate. Ambience: The vibe is really nice. It's clean, modern, and just feels good to be in. Not too fancy, not too casual just the perfect balance whether you're with friends or on a date. Staff: What really stood out to me was the service, especially the manager Andy. He was so nice and friendly and made us feel really welcomed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers, and that kind of energy makes a big difference. The rest of the staff was great too super attentive and kind. Also, I just want to say we're really grateful to the owner Jason for opening a spot like this in Sacramento. It's honestly such a great addition to the area. Definitely coming back again. read more

Must Be Cow Korean BBQ Buffet absolutely delivered. If you come hungry, you're leaving happy. The selection was incredible--tender short ribs, flavorful steak, grilled vegetables, octopus, and all the Korean BBQ staples you could want. Everything tasted fresh, and grilling it yourself at the table makes the experience even better. One unexpected favorite? The cheese fries. Not exactly traditional, but they were ridiculously good and disappeared fast. The quality of the meats really stood out, and there was plenty of variety to keep trying new combinations throughout the meal. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, there was ice cream waiting at the end for the perfect finish. Great food, great selection, and a fun dining experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex read more

We were excited to finally get to try this place since it's opening. Before even entering the building, the smell of KBBQ hits you and gets you even more excited. We were seated quickly and had the chance to order right away which is nice. The cuts of the meat was really nice and tender, however, the lack of flavor was just not there for us. The meat was rich in tenderness but was flavorless. I'd say it's worth trying if you've been wanting but we've had better KBBQ. read more

I have came here multiple times since my first review. Each time, I try new items and love them! I recommend getting the gold tier as they the better options are included on that one. They now have a side dishes bar so we can get as much as we want without having to ask the server for refills. Their squid salad is super good, I keep getting more. Favorites: KBBQ - galbi, American kobe, finger rib, pork belly, garlic shrimp (peeled and deveined) Appetizers - cheese corn, kimchi tofu soup, spicy edamame, soy garlic chicken wings Hand rolls - Summer, spicy tuna Sushi appetizers - Kobe beef carpaccio, tako su, hamachi jalapeño Our server was Trent. He was super nice and attentive. The food also comes out super fast. read more

Amazed that there's an amazing kbbq/sushi spot that's so close to me. This never happens Let's start with the service- there's no Yelp waitlist but luckily we didn't wait too long. Arrived on a Sunday at 5:30 and was seated 30 minutes later being 3rd in line for 'large parties'. They divide the waitlist with groups of 1-4 and then 5+. I believe you can call to make reservations as well if you have a certain amount of people. Parking is easy- plaza lot. Ambiance- greeted with smiles and Tyler, our server, was quick and personable. Smiles & checking in goes such a long way. Food- AYCE with gold package option available on weekends. Choice of silver or gold on the other days from what I remember. Price- was it pricey? More than what we usually pay for a family of 5. 3 kids & 2 adults, BUT it's AYCE and quality AYCE. The sushi/sashimi were all great. The meat was wonderful. The addition of oysters really stand out. There's a bar with side dishes- the side dishes were sub-par but I'm really not complaining with all the other choices we were offered. Beer is $3 off of draft until they run out. Are you kidding?!? It was such a great deal! I'll be back for sure. I hope the quality and the beer discount remains. read more
