I have to say it was quite a surprise to find out that it has become an all you can spot now. The sweet server told us all about how the ordering menu looks like (you order from an iPad) only 10 items at a time and then once you place your order you have to wait a few minutes to order again. They guide you and prep the grill so you can cook your meat. We tried basically one of everything. I loved most of the meats, some I could do without. Overall the restaurant is pretty spacious. Decoration is nice and I just loved how excited and enthusiastic all the workers were to serve you and give you all the information you needed about what you ordered. I guess they even offer a membership so if you go eat at other Chubby meat locations you get discounts over time. I look forward to coming back again, since they seemed a bit frazzled trying to get all the orders in. But I love the hustle!

I've been wanting to check out V Wagyu ever since they opened and I recently had the opportunity to…read moredine here for dinner and it certainly did not disappoint. You can order a la carte or if you have an even number of guests, you can order from the combos (good for 2 people to share). We ordered the Ran Combo and it was plenty of food for 2 people. The meat quality was top tier and each bite left me wanting more. I'll be back to try the more premium option next time! They also have beer and sake to enjoy with your food.

Upon entering we were warmly greeted. We ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls for an appetizer and decided to order their recommended District 5 House Special Vermicelli which included grilled shrimp, bbq chicken and egg rolls. Everything was so tasty and fresh! They had just made the fish sauce and it was warm and fragrant. The contrast of the crisp egg rolls, smoky chicken and fresh lettuce with the sweet and sour garlic sauce all melded well. They also provide very reasonable lunch specials from 10am-3pm. We'll be back!

The lunch portions are the perfect size, reasonably priced, and very delicious. I had the BBQ bulgogi plate: Marinated Rib Eye Beef served with White or Brown Rice and choice of 2 side dishes. I tried it with the brown rice, macaroni salad, and choy sum (Chinese broccoli). They have soy sauce and hot sauce packets. Food is made to order. Saw at least 5 people eating inside, outside, and picking up. I say bring a friend and sit outside to enjoy the sun. There are tables inside and window counter seating. The staff is very patient to answer any questions you might have about the menu.

The price has gone up since I last posted a picture of the menu but I think that it is still SUCH a steal for the amount of food and quality. I ordered the beef short rib lunch special and was amazed by how much food arrived! The preview pic on the menu did not do the actual meal size justice. I was surprised by the amount of short rib pieces included as well as the variety of side dishes within the bento (fried shrimp, dumpling, some sort of fried roll, 2 pieces of another roll, 2 pieces fried chicken and soup). This is still separate from the regular banchan they provide! I really love their kimchi and potato salad. There are plenty of seats in the restaurant and parking spots in the plaza. There were a lot of solo diners at the time of my visit. The workers are friendly and quick with your order and refills. Can't wait to go back!

I came with my American friend who considered it gourmet food, so here we are. It is not my first visit here, and probably won't be my last either. For one thing, it is really convenient. I can't remember the last time I've to wait for a table here. It has a large private/party room that can accommodate 50+ people. Service at Asia Buffet is actually quite good. Used bowls and plates are cleaned promptly. Reasonably priced buffet is a good place for someone like my wife who doesn't eat much and enjoys variety. It's good for me in the sense that I can have what I like instead of finishing off leftovers of what she ordered. I usually start with a bowl of hot and sour soup, several types of sushi and seafood. I particularly like its seaweed salad, beef rib, button mushrooms, and vegetables. Fresh cut fruits, pastries and soft-serve ice cream are a pefect ending to a happy meal.

There is something for everyone :) They offer pizza, fries, chicken, sushi rolls and even Cajun boil! I really enjoyed all the various things that I sampled. The chow mein and fried rice was good. The egg roll wasn't my favorite but their sushi variety was great and I enjoyed it. Was thrilled to see they also have edamame. The seafood boil was probably my favorite- such a good flavor with a kick! Especially loved the corn on the cob. They also have an enormous amount of fresh fruit, cookies, pastries and even ice cream. The service is really good and they are consistently coming by to check on drinks and picking up plates. I really appreciated that. We came on a Sunday around 2pm and it was busy but we had zero wait time for a party of 7. I saw that you can reserve a table if you call ahead. Overall this is a great place if you're looking for all you can eat that tastes good and has a big selection.

The shopping center isn't that big but it's not a busy center so I don't think it'll ever be an issue. The restaurant itself was clean and simple. Very mom and pop vibe. They have a good amount of seating. Restroom was very clean. Service was good, I had no issues. Please be patient with the staff as English is not some of their dominant languages. Staff was trying their best to help everyone. They were constantly checking in on us, refilling our Banchan, I thought they did great. Food was yummy and portions were huge! My friend and I shared the crispy garlic tofu. That was fresh and hot and not greasy! I enjoyed it! She had the Garlic Seolleongtang and she loved it. You saw the chunks of garlic, they were generous on the meat and the bowl was huge. I had beef spicy tofu soup and that was delicious and so filling. They were extremely generous on the tofu and I felt like I definitely got my protein intake in. The spice was just right, it looks so red but it wasn't that bad! I would definitely come back. It's a mom and pop shop I would support. I think it's underlooked and needs appreciation. My husband is from Irvine so we'll definitely be back next time we're in town visiting family.
