    Braised crab meat soup
    Shirley H.

    AYCE Korean bbq is always good here, with great sides and soup. I think this is a new item, the braised crab meat soup was ridiculously rich and umami! You can never go wrong with their steaks and pork jowl. Came for an early Friday dinner and it wasn't full with plenty of tables. The service here is always impeccable and attentive. The dinner special is definitely a better deal with a lot more meat choices. There are many tables inside for small and larger parties. FYI: for all of y'all single ladies, if you want to see good looking K-drama Oppas, here is the place to be! Wink!

    The marinated sauce doesn't taste good, which is the main reason I rate low. The marinated sauce taste really cheap and watery. Beside, We sit on the side table and the exhaust fan is broken so all the smoke and heat coming to my face. I really hate that. Overall, it's not worthy and I won't come back again

    This all you can eat spot is delicious. Go in hungry! The staff cooks for you btw, which was lovely. The party has to be present otherwise they will not seat you. It's a small but lovely spot! The staff was very attentive and they change your grill for you, which looked cast iron (hence the name). I can't wait to go back! My family and I definitely enjoyed it!

    Crabmeat stew
    Catherine Y.

    My only complaint before would've been the servings of meat were way too big, making us unable to order multiple meats. However, they have finally reduced the size of the meat plates. This is great! We can order more variety. The service is friendly and efficient and the meats were marinated well. However, I did appreciate the non-marinated brisket since I really enjoy the truffle salt and bean dipping sauce. The best thing there is still that crab stew. I had myself two servings this time. Their house salad is really great as well, love that dressing. We had two servings of that as well. Great lunch!

    I came here with a group of friends for dinner. We didn't have a reservation but only waited about 15 minutes with one group ahead of us. The dinner is $40 per person, so we tried to take full advantage of the unlimited meat! I especially enjoyed the beef brisket, pork belly, and pork ribs. We ended up ordering around 8 rounds of meat for our group of five, so that was pretty solid! They do provide veggies including broccoli, carrots (I think it's a bit odd having them in kbbq because Koreans song really consume them), along with the common veggies including onion, kimchi, peppers, and garlic. The veggies come in smaller portions, so it was a bit inconvenient that we had to ask for refills often. Overall, I'm glad I finally checked this place out & would definitely come back next time I'm in Flushing!

    If you're interested in an all you can eat Korean BBQ then this is a place you want to check out. Parking is a challenge so be prepared to circle the block a few times. 3 of us went in after 1pm during the week. No waiting, staff was very courteous and helpful. Our cook was great and very helpful in helping us with our meals. We had beef, pork and chicken dishes and were excellent. For a first time, we all left happy and satisfied. We will come back! Check it out.

    Our waiter frank was very on top of things. I consider him one of the best waiters I've ever had. He was super attentive. The food was good and marinated well. Inside has a heavy smell of bbq smoke but whatever. Me and my friend got 2 drinks and it cmae out to $65ish each. I thought that was a little high , I probably wouldn't come back for a while

    Meat fest for birthday celebration!!! Great vibe, food, and company but uncomfortable chairs. The stool chairs double as storage bin for your jacket and personal items. I really hope the inside is kinda clean since people just toss their stuff in. I didn't realize how much we needed a back of a chair to be more comfortable now that we are older lol Celebrated 2 people's birthdays with friends. They had a birthday shot or a cookie which we tried the cookie at the end of the meal (I think the shot would be more worth it but the 2 people didn't want the drink). Good price for AYCE meat. Yummy... also, unexpectedly, I really enjoy the salad as a palate cleanser and was the one who ate it the most and wanted a refill on that. Had concern about the stacking of the lettuce under the table (you can see pic) because if the underside of bowl is dirty, it is stack ontop of the next bowls lettuce and would contaminate it. Hopefully that was just a one off and they had improved since then. But overall, had a great time.

    Came here last night with friends.. Good selection of korean bbq meat and drinks.. staff were great, very accommodating.. beef radish soup, dumplings highly recommended.. The place is spacious and cozy, nice ambiance..

    We had a great meal here. Everything I tried was cooked well and not overly seasoned! Service was also impeccable. Our server was very polite and attentive -- he was great at refilling our water, sauces, lettuce cups, etc. I think they have a good variety of food: - I love that they have grilled vegetables here, which includes onions, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant. Really balances out with everything else. - Their grilled mackerel wasn't bad. It was cooked very well and wasn't too salty. - The braised crab meat soup wasn't bad either -- it tasted like shark fin soup. - The marinated chicken I thought it was seasoned perfectly as it wasn't too salty or sweet. It was a tad bit on the drier side as if it's been frozen for too long, but it wasn't overcooked or anything and was still good! - Their cabbage salad with sesame dressing was really crunchy and refreshing. - Their lettuce cups were all cut to the perfect size. - I'd pass on their dumplings. The dumpling skin was too tough in my opinion. This might be my new favorite KBBQ spot given their price, food, and service!

    Can I bring a birthday cake or will they charge me for bringing a cake?

    You would most likely have to let the staff know beforehand about a cake when you make the reservation (if your party consists of 6 or more people).… Read more

    Is there out door dining right now as of April/May 2021?

    I'm not too sure. I went about three weeks ago and they have their outside seating but everyone was waiting to be seated inside. Call the restaurant or make sure, sorry I couldn't give you a firm answer.

    How much for dinner?

    About $30. Went out Saturday night. For two people a bottle of soju tax and tip it was $44 each.

    For the indoor dining do the staff cook the food for you at a separate place or is it cooked in front of you?

    Do they have outdoor seating? If not how crowded is inside? Has the rate change or same price? TIA

    Tons of outdoor seating across the front & side of the resturaut. Excited to see what it looks like once they do indoot seating again.

    Are they open for ayce kbbq during COVID-19?

    Yes menu has changed though, no side appetizers like the soups or rice cake

    Due to COVID, do they offer any sort of food deliver?

    They're not open so there is no delivery or take out option sadly. I pass by the restaurant on my commute everyday and they're closed. But hopefully they open soon !

    Due to covid when will you guys have the dine-in option again?

    They're open for dine-in now.

    No reservations. First come first serve is their business model. You walk in, put your name on a list and they will either call or text.

    Is there a time limit for lunch?

    There is but I doubt they'll enforce it unless they're super busy or you're abusing it (staying for 3-4 hours)

    Can we order meat as many times as we want do we have to pay each time we order meat?

    If you order a la carte then yes, you jave to pay for every order of meat. If you commit to their All You Can Eat deal then you don't have to pay for each order. Food here is awesome though, have fun!

    Do they serve fried rice on the pot after the bbq?

    No, they don't

The other 30% was unappetizing, the dimsum was sad looking and lacking variety, oyster grilling station took forever to cook, the crabs were lacklustered and didn't taste fresh. Also I'm guessing because of the promotion, a lot of items left off the menu (no snow crab legs, or abalone to name a few) Overall for the promotional price, definitely worth coming to try, better than most buffets in the city and the positives outweigh the negatives and you will definitely leave full.

But it was okay because we found street parking a little bit of a walk away and was able to still enjoy ourselves. My fiancé and I grabbed a bunch of food from their big variety and both left stuffed. Overall, I can't say it's the best quality of foods however, the selection was huge and for the price, this was actually very good! The service was great. They started us off with drinks as soon as we sat down and would ask us if we needed refills on these drinks whenever they were running low. Even though there was a lot of people, because the space itself is also big, it did not feel like we were overcrowded so that was also a plus!

However, when we arrived, nobody was at the front counter, so we walked to the inside counter to ask to be seated. The front desk guy clearly just came in for his shift since he was hurrying on his cell phone, carrying bags and had his jacket on. He came over looking very busy and disheveled, and when my mom politely asked if we should wait here to be seated, he rudely responded, "Well if there's no one at that counter then you come to this counter if you see the sign." Meanwhile... there was no sign saying that when we left. My mom was just asking a simple question, so the attitude was unnecessary. Just because you're stressed or running late doesn't mean you take it out on customers. F him for being rude to my nice mom and never coming to this place again. As for the food, it was pretty mediocre overall, that experience left a bad taste. The sushi selection had a good variety, and the desserts were honestly the best part. They have a chocolate fondue station plus vanilla, matcha, and swirl soft serve ice cream machines. At least the place was clean. Also, the waitress gives you a parking discount before you leave, so don't forget to ask.

My opinions mostly reflect on the wedding banquet experience. The food affordability, quantity, and consistency is really what you'd come here for, thus it's really THE spot for hosting Chinese banquet style weddings if you ask any Fujianese individual, they will know what you're talking about. If you want an authentic experience, this is the place. Don't expect the best service or ambiance though... Ambiance 3/5: Weddings are too loud and crowded for my liking. The experience really depends on the number of people invited so this can vary. Service 3/5: Definitely can vary. The waitress today was friendly but they're here to serve hundreds of guests in the banquet so understandably it does get hectic. No major complaints though. Definitely not at the same level as other more private or smaller establishments. Only complaint is that there are only 2 small bathrooms for several hundred guests so it gets crowded and is not readily cleaned... Food 4.5/5: This place shines in value, quantity of food, and consistency. They are one of the more affordable places to host weddings and guests will have more than enough food. The selection is also large so there's something for everyone. While you could probably find the same dishes elsewhere that may taste better, this place is by no means bad and the food here is consistently delicious. I've been here multiple times for many wedding banquets and during the day time for dim sum and have always left satisfied.
