Dude, SPACE 5 MIGHT BE THE BEST JAPAN RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN TO. [This is being written by a 10-year-old] I went here 3 times, and my server, DJ was so nice and she helped me with the hot pot and the BBQ! Even though the crawfish was cold, I still enjoyed the steak, shrimp, and sushi! The space details in the place are just epic man! There's no other way I can describe the place but . This place deserves a 5-star definitely! [Remember this was written by a 10-year-old for the 1st time] read more

I'm a repeat customer and a big reason I keep coming back is because of the manager, Dion. His customer service is top tier every single time. He's always welcoming, professional, and takes the time to make sure everything is right. Dion really goes above and beyond--he talks with you, checks on you, and makes you feel like more than just a customer. That kind of energy makes a huge difference, and it's rare to find. The food is always fresh, the atmosphere is nice, the servers are awesome and the whole experience is enjoyable. read more

Space 5 is a whole vibe. The atmosphere is artful and welcoming, with a sleek, space-themed aesthetic. Every angle is photo-worthy. The staff is extremely professional and helpful when it comes to navigating the experience because trust me, it is a process. We had Amir, and he was outstanding very professional and clearly knowledgeable at what he does. There are three dining options: Korean BBQ, sushi, and pho. You can choose two out of three, but for just $5 more per person, you can enjoy all three, which is absolutely worth it. The sushi is top tier. I highly recommend the Marrero roll and the Space 5 roll. Overall, an amazing experience and definitely worth checking out read more

Great place! I'm so excited places like this are coming to the westbank and it's such a good value! It's an AYCE where you have to choose two of the three types at minimum but you can also choose all three - hotpot, sushi, and Korean BBQ. Personally I do think the first time you come here can be overwhelming trying to figure out the menu and what to order but our server was helpful and patient with us. She answered our questions quickly and didn't mind helping us first-timers. The lunch deal was definitely good value for what you pay - can't wait for them to open back up to try dinner. It's dark and intimate in there but definitely bustling as you move back and forth from your table to the buffet bar with everyone else around. Lots of great options at the buffet bar and a spot for you to make your own sauce combo. Be careful you don't grab more than you can eat, I believe they charge for uneaten food. Love the quality of the food and excited to come back! read more

I loved my experience here! The price is very reasonable and the drinks are also yummy. Everyone working was extremely nice. One of the bussers/food runners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is sparkling clean with modern seating, TVs/screens, and the music playlist was a vibe. All the meats were fresh and high quality. The sushi was AMAZING!!! Hot pot was delicious!! I can't wait to come back here - I'm bringing my family next time. Thank you Space 5 read more

There is onsite parking which is convenient. There can be a bit of a wait but it was not too long. I don't do buffets often but a friend invited me here. I actually did like the taste of the food and the food options. It was definitely crowded. I believe I visited on a Saturday. So that was to be expected. With buffet types of restaurants though, the more crowded it is, the more hectic it can be. Some food items are ordered and brought directly to your table as opposed to grabbing them from the buffet. You get a lot of food for your money. I would return here again. read more

Finally! We've been waiting for this place to open for the longest time! Space 5 features a unique dining experience in touch of Asian culture: Kbbq, hotpot, and sushi! Though other restaurants already have this same concept, Space 5 is unique in its All You Can Eat experience where you can choose 2 of 3 experiences to dine for $34 per person! We tried the Kbbq and hotpot and it was honestly better than I expected. The kbbq meats were all displayed on the buffet bar while the hotpot meats were able to be ordered at the table. We tried many options for both but some that I liked were the Spicy calamari and regular pork belly for kbbq and tonkatsu broth for hotpot. We heard the sushi was also good but didn't order it this time! There were a lot of variety with kbbq meats along with options for making your sauce which I liked. In addition, the dessert items consisted of Wishing town's desserts which caught me by surprise. I tried the tiramisu, passion fruit mousse, and taro chantilly cake. All were okay but if i had to choose a favorite of those, i like the tiramisu if it had much less expresso. Some cons of the establishment would be that my seating area was definitely not the cleanest. There were dirty napkins on the floor and some areas of the bar were not well kept. Kids were loud and running around - I'm hoping some type of rule is implemented but in the future to restrict this. On another note, I'd love to try some other kbbq meats and their sushi in another visit. In comparison to other nearby restaurants similar to this, Space 5 definitely takes the cake over Ombu bbq/ hotpot, Gangnam kbbq, Panda king hotpot, etc. read more

My girlfriend and I visited this place on a Friday night pretty soon after their grand opening. We were met with a 45 minute wait, but there are things to do in nearby plazas so the wait isn't too bad. We entered the waitlist and came back 45 minutes later and were sat shortly after. The ambiance is very unique and I like their whole space theme. Our waitress was good, service through the whole restaurant was a bit slow but granted they were pretty busy. Even though we grab most of the food ourselves, she checked up on us pretty often which I appreciated. The decor is super cool and there are lots of neon lights which made it a KBBQ experience I haven't had before. The food was pretty good, some meats better than others. My favorites were the KBBQ spicy pork belly (9/10), regular pork belly (8/10) and beef ribs (7/10). The hotpot meats were okay and honestly didn't have that much flavor to them, but you have options of sauces and seasonings. We got the tonkatsu broth (9/10) and Szechuan spicy (6/10). We only did the hotpot + KBBQ combo and didn't try the sushi, but I think it's worth the price of around $34 for 2 options. I also got a matcha cheese foam drink, and it wasn't that good. It was more like those tea packets that have matcha in them. I also don't think it had cheese foam, so not what i was expecting. Some of my critiques: - The place itself is kind of cramped especially around the areas where you grab food. It doesn't help that there are kids running around. I feel like there should be a rule for this. - We didn't get utensils for a while. I feel that's something that should have been ready as soon as we sat. Overall, I would recommend this place since there aren't many good KBBQ spots in NOLA! read more

I've been to this location numerous times . I've had an amazing experience from staff and the food selections. However, this time my husband and I went for lunch. We noticed that the selections of hot pot, Korean barbecue, and sushi have been joined together for one price which wasn't a problem. As we proceeded to enjoy our foods, I received the sushi that I selected. I proceeded to eat one of them to be surprised that there was plastic in the wrap. I mention to my server immediately she proceeded to bring into management. She returned back stating that they offered 15% off of the bill. She was very apologetic for my misfortune. My issue with this experience was the small amount that was offered for me almost swallowing plastic and the fact that management never came to apologize or to see if I was OK. This definitely gave me a bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if I will be returning. read more

Everything was 10/10!!!! The service, the hospitality, the food, and the music had me jamming! Will definitely be back. Bring the whole family, the kids loved it as well! read more

Can't beat the prices !!!! Food was fresh and so good . All you can eat for $24.99 lunch and $36.99 for dinner. All the sushi comes with the bundle as well as the soup and salads. Our server was cool and very knowledgeable of the menu. The service stations for the food was very clean too. Definitely going back!!!!!! read more

Space 5 just opened up and is a great addition to the area. It is located in the plaza behind Raising Canes, so there is plenty of parking. It offers a unique experience of all you can eat (AYCE) Korean bbq and sushi and/or hotpot - you get to choose 2 of 3 experiences or 3 of 3 for an additional cost. Don't overload your plate with more than you can eat, because they will charge you for any leftovers by the pound! Moderation is key, and the food will always be waiting. THE [FOOD] BAR: A bit overwhelming and chaotic if you're not used to it. It has veggies, meats for primarily Korean bbq, hot food/appetizers, a sauce bar, and ice cream for dessert. I started off at the sauce bar and I like to use 75% ponzu sauce, 25% vinegar sauce, minced garlic, cilantro, a little green onions, and any chilis I can find (but just a little of the Birds Eye Chili cause it's too spicy). They also offer suggestions at the sauce bar if you don't know where to start. The meat at the food bar is primarily for kbbq because they're thicker cut and pre-marinated. You can order meats for hot pot and sushi with the staff. EXPERIENCE: We got the Korean bbq and hot pot experience. I find it overwhelming to do both, but it's good if your group has different preferences or you can't decide what you want lol. I got the Szechuan spicy broth and it was good. My mom got the Healthy Herbs broth and it was salty af. My mom had to take out half the broth and water it down. We tried to tell the staff but they didn't listen to us. It was an unpleasant experience with the healthy herbs because it ruined all the meats and veggies for us. Overall, good experience. Definitely worth a visit! read more

What an amazing spot to get ayce hotpot, kbbq, and sushi! The place is so cool and neat, it was a whole experience! There was so many food options, more than I expected and seen elsewhere. The meat quality and selection was top tier. One of the best hotpot and kbbq spots I've been to! I highly recommend and would come back! read more

I had the pleasure of dining here for lunch with some of my coworkers. We really enjoyed the space theme! The buffet area was nice and plentiful with a lot of options. I chose to get the golden chicken base for my hot pot. I enjoyed the flavor and the fresh veggies and noodles I chose off the buffet. My favorite items were the spicy marinated chicken and the spicy beef bulgogi, both were grilled. The reason for not giving 5 stars is because they were out of a couple of drink options and the some of the pre prepared food from the buffet were cold. read more

Space 5 - Korean Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

Aesthetically this place is it. Definitely fun for kids. I love Korean bbq so I thought everything was tasty including the hotpot. The difference compared to other Korean bbq restaurants I found was that you get your own meats and fried appetizers from the bar instead of them being delivered to the table. I took away a star since our booth only had one grill at the end of the table to cook our meats. We had to hand our plates to the person on the end to cook for everyone. read more

Great new KBBQ hot spot place. Very cool interior design. We got the sushi, hot pot & bbq option. Lots of veggie and meat options! Was disappointed in the lack of dessert options available but nonetheless great experience overall. Service could improve. It was a busy night understandably but would be great to improve available servers as this dining experience is dependent on placing orders with the servers too. Hope to continue seeing this restaurant gain popularity while still maintaining cleanliness and quality! read more

Personally, I honestly don't understand the hate that Space 5 gets. I dined here twice (once with some friends and another time with a family member) and every time I always have a good experience. Service is always nice and generous. They don't rush you whenever you're eating even when there's a 2 hour limit. The inside aesthetic is very unique as it literally feels like you're in space when you step inside. As for the food, I thought it was pretty good for Louisiana standards. Meats were good and had flavor to them. Veggies were okay too. Their tom yum was flavorful. I only got their hot pot & Korean bbq combo for dinner ($33.99 per person) the two times I went there. I can only speak from my own experience there, but I honestly have no complaints. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area and craving kbbq and/or hot pot. They also have a sushi option too, but I haven't tried it yet. I might choose it the next time I come by. read more

Food, service, and the overall environment were amazing at Space 5. I would come back again and try some other menu items, but I had the hot pot and meat items that came with it. All were great. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos but it looked like typical hot pot but in a space environment. The restaurant was clean and service was great. Great job to the two twin sisters who did a great job. They were super friendly and attentive to table which was nice. They made the experience much more enjoyable. Overall, I'd highly recommend Space 5. read more

We got the Korean BBQ and sushi, we sat there for 15 minutes without tongs to cook the BBQ after having to ask for them. We asked our server for refills twice and were never brought refills, we had to go get the manager and ask for a refill because we couldn't find our server. We were there 45 minutes and were never brought our appetizers, even though we reminded our server three times and the manager. When the sushi was brought out, each piece was literally smaller than a quarter. Very disappointing. read more

So upset!! We were really excited to try this for the first time...drove WAY OUT our way to get here for lunch. Says lunch is served til 4 EVERYWHERE on the website and the menus. Thought we could knock out a quick meal before a long drive home. Got there at 3:28, confirmed we were ok for lunch. Said YES, still lunch, then someone comes from the back to say NOW DINNER. Sorry. WOW! Said ok, never mind. All they could say is See you next time!! BUT they won't because We won't be back!! read more

It was tasty, and the selection was bountiful--so many options. The atmosphere and space theme are really out of this world ( sorry, I couldn't resist). Comets shoot across the night sky ceiling. They don't let staff taste anything, so good luck if you need guidance on the spiciness/ flavor/anything. They only know if they've eaten it. Alot of the staff are new. It was worth the $35.99 combo plus the $5 to be able to have all three selections. Try this place out. read more

Bad service. Food sucks. Desserts were all gone by 8:00 and never refilled. All the bbq meats were bland and old. Probably the worst Korean bbq I've ever had. Some hot pot meat options were also sold out by 8:00. Will never be going back read more

I went for lunch on a Thursday not too busy. Concept sure cool looks nice. Service just sucks good luck ordering more hotpot meat or even getting a refill. Server never comes back unless you're walking around to find him. Getting an explanation of how this works hurts my brain cells. Each person would have to pick 2. So Kbbq, Hotpot, or Sushi. I only wanted one, apparently that was not an option. Hotpot meats you would have to order w the server, same with sushi. Kbbq meat is all on the buffet bar. Veggies, majority of the veggies displayed were old/rotten. Kbbq meats, very gross with the cross contaminated tongs going on. Tongs for pork was missing so I see people using the chicken tongs to grab it. I passed on that and just kept w my hotpot. Original soup I had a dead fly in it. Took me over 20mins to even find the man. No idea where he was Dont expect too much with service, you'll be lucky to even have someone come back. read more
