    Mojito
    Kelsey S.

    A few friends and I stopped here a few days ago and we had a really lovely experience. We got seated right away. It was a little busy. You sit at a round table with a cast iron in the middle. They set you up with some sauces and such. You check out their menu on your phone. We did the all you can eat for 2 hours. It came to around $45 per person. We ordered 3 different kinds of meat, they put onions, broccoli, mushrooms on the cast iron as well. Our waiter/chef cooking for us was really nice and chatted a bit. He was very attentive as well. We did 2 beef and one pork, and everything came out so good. The seasoning was great. I ordered the mojito, which was also very good. Overall the experience was great, the food was great. I loved it. Would totally recommend!

    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.

    Is it busy on a Thursday night?

    It does get busy around dinner time.

    Yes it gets a little hot, a bunch of cast iron grills are on. But it's not overwhelming.

    Do you guys accept discover credit cards?

    Yes they do!

    Do they have kimchi?

    Yes!! They have banchan!

    Can you bring in your own bottled water? I'm seeing many reviews that they charge for this. When is the best time to come here and the current price for AYCE?

    they have tap water on every table in reused bottles filled with ice. They were charging for bottled water when COVID first started and you had to use throw-away plates, cups, utensils, etc. Now, they are back to serving water, soju, soda etc. You… Read more

    Does the restaurant request to see vaccination cards or are just masks ok?

    Both!

    Is it halal?

    No! They have pork belly

    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?

    Indoor dining - Food cooked at your table Outdoor dining - Food cooked in their kitchen and brought out to you. They set up a grill on each outdoor table so you can continue… Read more

    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.

    Does this place take reservations?

    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

    What's the pricing for kids? 3 yo and 5 yo?

The plating and beef boards they bring out are just fun to see. The experience is what you make of it - fresh juice drink options, tons of meat proteins and sides to choose from. I've been here twice and can tell the meat is very fresh and well prepared. I can't even name a favorite, just loved everything! The meat staircase is definitely something to try - so many cuts and good portion size. You get two to three pieces of each protein. It's a great value.

In the lobby area, on display is an old Guzheng (Chinese harp) along with various cuts of premium wagyu meat. The place was well ventilated and was surprised that I didn't leave smelling like it. Service (5/5): This is a self-cook, manning your own meat establishment. The food comes out prepared on trays at fairly quick speed. Burners worked well and were changed out when burned. The burner seemed small but we were able to cook fast enough to keep everyone happy. Food (4/5): For 6 of us (4F & 2M), we ordered just the right amount of food: Meat Lover's Stair Combo, Beef combo, veggie platter, 2 rice. I'd say that all of the meat was super tender but nothing stood out too much. None of the meat was marinated except for 1 meat in the stair combo that turned out to be everyone's favorite. For all that food it was about $40/pp. A free small cup of Hershey's vanilla ice cream at the end of the meal. Overall, had a great time and good food!

We walked into a modern interior with a lively atmosphere, the kind of space that works well for groups or special occasions. The dining room had a polished, energetic feel with the grills built into each table and the staff moving efficiently between stations. Unlike most AYCE barbecue spots, the focus here is on higher quality cuts of beef, and the staff regularly came by to help grill the meat, making the experience feel more polished than a typical buffet. The wagyu is the main reason to visit. We ordered a selection and found the meat well marbled, tender, and noticeably better than what you would typically find at standard Korean or Japanese barbecue buffets. Depending on the menu we chose, there was a wide selection of Australian, American, and Japanese wagyu, along with sushi, sashimi, seafood, and other side dishes. Every meal also began with a cheese lobster, which came out rich and creamy, a nice addition before the barbecue started. We appreciated that the portions were generous, so it was better to order gradually instead of trying to sample everything at once, and the variety across the menu gave us room to explore different cuts and preparations. The dessert selection ended up being one of the biggest surprises. Fresh fruit like pineapple and cantaloupe was exceptionally sweet, and the soft serve and other desserts were a refreshing way to finish such a heavy meal. It helped balance out all of the rich meats, making the meal feel more complete instead of ending on another savory course. Service was another standout. The staff frequently checked on the table, replaced grills when needed, and helped cook and cut the meat to ensure everything was prepared properly. Since the restaurant is popular, reservations are a good idea during peak dinner hours, though the experience ran smoothly once we were seated. The team moved through the room with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal kept the flow steady without feeling rushed. Overall, Wagyu Place BBQ is one of the stronger premium AYCE barbecue experiences in Flushing. The quality of the wagyu, attentive service, and wide variety of barbecue, sushi, seafood, and desserts help justify the higher price. It is more expensive than a typical barbecue buffet, but if you are looking for a higher-end all-you-can-eat experience centered around quality wagyu, it is worth considering.
