I have no idea why Uniq BBQ has received some bad ratings, as this place was absolutely…read morephenomenal... We stopped in at lunch on a Monday and it was one of the best Korean BBQ restaurants we've ever been to and we lived in Micronesia for 4 years. The restaurant is nicely set up/decorated (super clean and orderly), the service was spectacular (and prompt), and the food was nothing short of excellent. Recommend stopping in for lunch... $20 for AYCE is a steal - You will leave full and happy, I can guarantee it. If you're looking for authentic Korean BBQ at a fair price, Uniq BBQ is the place to go in Fort Wayne.

After the ownership change, Uniq (now with lowercase letters!) is actually... okay now, I guess?…read moreStill nothing impressive, but it's a solid C+ and the new owners (heard they are the same guys behind Haru) actually seem to know what they're doing. My favorite things in the new Uniq are easily the chinmi (fishcake) tempura and the mixed drink (I got Green Apple, which came in a nice blue liquid like the chemical cocktail it is) which is... honestly kinda sad, but they got actual KBBQ now and are a lot more professional about the whole thing. Seriously though, for an AYCE appetizer, the chinmi tempura was quite excellent, though the shrimp tempura on the other hand was sad and soggy and raw and all-around depressing. Dae Gee still has much better appetizer options, that's for sure (nothing can beat a good Midwestern cheese corn yummmm). I still don't get what's supposed to be so uniq about this place though? Perhaps it's the tiny amount of broth and banchan they give you? Both have unlimited refills if you just ask, but something about it still strikes me as being particularly stingy. None of the meats are particularly special either even though they have more choices now. Most of the cuts are fatty (the galbi in particular is what we'd call a "trash cut" due to how fatty it is) and the different flavor profiles that they have like bulgogi, spicy honey or umakara ("sweet-and-spicy") just kind of blend together. The beef tongue also struck me as being way tougher than it had any business being, perhaps it was cut a little too thick. Much of the seafood is still obviously from Rang Dong. Though they got rid of the syrupy "bingsu" and just offer buffet ice cream now, which is actually a nice change of pace. It's about Paradise Buffet level in terms of cream quality, which I guess isn't so bad. Perhaps the one GOOD and uniq thing I can talk about is that they were playing RELATIVELY obscure K-Pop songs like Nekkoya when we visited, rather than the ultra-popular stuff that you hear everywhere in Chinatowns, with some Persona 5 OST and Ado thrown in. I respect. Should've turned the volume up further, though. If you're gonna weeb out, do it correctly. TL;DR I still like Dae Gee better tbh, but they have some competition now.

Coming back to Fort Wayne for the holidays, and I never imagined we'd end up at a KBBQ place--but…read moreI'm so glad we did! First of all, they take reservations, which is great because we had a larger group for a holiday family gathering. We came to do the KBBQ with some family members who had never gotten it before. We ordered the premium plate, and got plenty of food for the group, including the bachan dishes. We got pork belly, chicken, and the ribeye (which was our favorite!). And as others mentioned, they gave us onion and pineapple to season the grill, which was delicious! The bachan were fun--they even had a potato salad which my Midwestern family members really loved (along with the corn appetizer!). The service was great--the workers checked in on us and were always ready to bring more bachan or help changing the grill for us! They even had some tasty mocktails for my family members who don't drink. Such a great time and delicious food at Dae Gee! So glad people will get to try their hand at Korean BBQ!

Ryu's was our original destination, but being able to wash our comforter while eating was perfect! The server told us to sit anywhere and took our order within 5 minutes. She brought our small ban chan order first and it was excellent. It include 2 small wonton, a small spicy salad, & kimchi. The iced and hot milk tea was very good as was the beef radish soup! My shrimp & noodles dish was so good!! I did want more shrimp, but the veggies filled me up, too. My partner's beef dish was like Korean lettuce wraps! He loves spicy food & really enjoyed it! Finally, the strawberry cream pie was a marvelous end to a terrific meal. Overall, this was a really good meal & we can't wait to return for more!

Overall, the dining experience here was acceptable but not exceptional. When I went, it was a…read moreSaturday night, and the restaurant was relatively empty, which isn't always a great sign. But, the service was good-no complaints there. The food was okay. I ordered the mul mandu for an appetizer, and it was relatively standard dumpling fare. Nothing noteworthy, but not bad. Then I had the bibimbap with beef. It wasn't very flavorful as served, but the sauce provided in the table caddy helped add flavor. Once again, not bad, but not especially impressive. The only thing that was disappointing was that the banchan were not provided free of charge. Instead, you could purchase them individually or as an upgrade with your entree. This is unlike most Korean restaurants I've been to. Normally, I look forward to the variety of small starters before the main dish so this was a bit of a let down. Once again, not a bad experience, just not anything to rave about.

I rarely eat fried foods because my stomach can't handle it, but my coworker swore this place is far and wide the best fried chicken in FW so I felt obligated to play IBS Russian Roulette and give it a try.

But this place has the best boneless meat. It is thigh meat so it is never chewy, never dry. The breading is unique and seasoned lightly. The sauces are very good. The fries are coated and it makes them so crispy. I get the regular and it's more than I can eat in a setting. OH and the dumplings, its the sauce but they are savory and sweet. I would recommend a side of rice if you dont get fries and they specials are fantastic. Had breaded pork, it was similar to katsu with rice. My only note would be the time, they make to order so you will wait 10-20 minutes. If that is a problem, pre-order for pick up and they have a drive-up pick up window.
