    Solid AYCE Japanese BBQ option at $35/person. Good variety of meats. We tried a bunch of the meats. The sweet soy beef shoulder and beef brisket were my favorites, really flavorful and tender. Some cuts were hit or miss though. A few pieces came out chewy, so it depends a bit on what you order. Pork jowl and intestines are on the menu too if that's your thing. The appetizers were a mixed bag. The cheese corn was good, and there's grilled miso eggplant, seaweed salad, and more available. The eggplant came out a bit over-grilled, and the seaweed salad never showed up even though we ordered it. Ordering is through a QR code at the table. You can place a new order every few minutes. The table also has a good variety of sauces plus salt so you can mix things up as you go. The restaurant was completely full but the staff were quick with the meats and dishes, and they stayed on top of clearing plates too. It gets busy, so I'd recommend a reservation. Solid spot overall, and we might try the Wagyu menu ($55) next time.

    I really like this place! For its price as a BBQ spot, it's actually very good value compared to other dinner prices. I think that Japanese grill compared to Korean grill tends to be smokier, which is my jam The water is lemony, the sauce is tasty, and the sides are also quite nice! Service is very fast and quick (but I also came with friends at a slower time). Overall vibe is chill, elegant, and the sound of sizzling meat

    Pretty good for an ayce. Did the wagyu option and it was not bad, can't expect too much for the price. The galbi is the best option. Big plus is the dipping sauce option and kimchi. Must get the Takoyaki. It's actually the best in the Bay Area so far.

    Got put on the waitlist prior to our arrival via the yelp app which was very helpful. By the time we got there, we didn't wait too much longer to be seated. They have two options for the ayce, either standard or premium. Both come with many options. The standard menu is 35. The premium menu is 55 and includes wagyu and a drink. The also offer alcoholic beverages which are a separate charge. Once you are seated and the waiter activates your table, you have 90 minutes. Your last order must be placed before 75 minutes. You scam the QR code that is on the table and can place your order. You can add 6 meats at a time. Their menu had the meat, a few rice bowls and a few appetizers. They had 3 sauces at each table, fruity, miso and a soy sauce twist one. All were good. You also have the option to order a spicy sauce and a brisket sauce via the app. The staff was very polite. It didnt take too long for the food and drinks ordered to be brought out. The staff was constantly picking up the empty dishes from our table. No complaints with staff, they were great. Overall the restaurant was a good size with seating for 4-6 people at a time. Not sure how well multiple big groups would be seated. A major disadvantage of this place was I didn't feel they had adequate ventilation. The smoke from the grill went right into our faces, no overhead vents to pull the smoke. Other than that I enjoyed our dinner

    Stopped in for dinner tonight after a day full of theme parking. Great selection and customer service. The staff was super nice and our orders came out promptly. We selected the classic menu that was $35/pp and well worth it as the selection was quite impressive. I'm a big fan of the eggplant and their beef bone soup. Hubby loved their finger rib meat. Everything was delicious. We will for sure come back next time ! Highly recommend you make reservations or expect to wait.

    Came in for a Saturday night and it honestly didn't take too long to get seated if you join the waitlist on your way over. We did the standard AYCE menu for $35 and it was surprisingly really cheap for all that it offered. The meats are flavorful, but I'd say service was average. Everything is ordered through the QR code and they definitely missed many items here and there. Then the other half of the time you think they missed it so you order it again and two show up. Do love that they offer a lot of appetizers and rice bowls though - a LOT more than your standard AYCE place. Also worth noting that ventilation around the grills work really well so you won't leave smelling like BBQ at all.

    $35 all you can eat. 90 minute limit and 6 items per order. The grills cook very quickly so you don't have to sit there waiting for it to cook. Salt n pepper Short ribs were so good :) they have a variety of protein and sides even for the regular menu. There were beef, pork, chicken, squid, shrimp, veggies, and sides: tried the tofu agadashi, takoyaki, potato croquet, edamame. Three sauces: miso, ushiya spicy sauce, and fruity sauce, and you could also order brisket sauce. I liked the miso sauce a lot.

    I had made an advanced reservation by phone for my group of 12 people to celebrate a birthday. It was for a Saturday at 6pm. Despite my group was 20 minutes late, the staffs were very accommodating. We were split between 2 tables close to each other. Each table had 1 grill. We opted for the $55/pp AYCE premium menu. The first order was taken by the staff. Each subsequent order was taken on our phones via QR code. It seemed we ordered much more than the 6 item limit allowed per round and it wasn't an issue. Items came out fast. Not only were the Wagyu items good, but so were most of the appetizers and side dishes including: Takoyaki, fried squid tentacles, agedashi tofu, karaage and miso eggplant. Some were just ok. I found the cheese corn to have too much mayo, the garlic fries were mid and the edamame had too much black pepper. If you are thinking of getting plain rice, get a donburi bowl because that way you have rice and meat too. When our 90 minutes up, we were never rushed to leave. We didn't even get a reminder that our time was running out. Each staff was friendly. We would definitely come back again.

    First time here and everything was great, we ordered the premium set and was very satisfied with all the American and Australian Wagyu choices. The Wagyu brisket and the Wagyu strip loin were our favorites. The chicken Karaage was a surprise hit good to break it up. If you're over the meat. One tiny suggestion is to get longer straws for the tall soda cups. Anh and Eliott and Donny were great.

    Jess U.

    Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and we ordered the premium menu ($55/person) and I really enjoyed every meat that we ordered. The ordering system is via a website so you can keep ordering without waiting for a server to come to you. The food did come out pretty slow which may be because you are not assigned 1 specific server, but other than that it was a great meal! I definitely recommend upgrading for the wagyu meats. All of the appetizers and sides were great too. It's lively inside with plenty of seating. Def worth a try!

    Weekday visit for lunch. First time here. We did the signature. Decent size restaurant with good amount of tables. Service was efficient. The person helping was also nice. Easy ordering thru your phone. We liked the Brisket. My husband loved the Intestine and Pork Shoulder. Get the Vegetables too! We will be back if in the area to try the other premium menu. Private lot in front

    Wide selection of meat. Fast service, high-quality, and a great vibe! They offer a great selection of dipping sauces too.

    Yiuki C.

    Really impressed with the quality here. The marbling on the beef was great, and it sizzled perfectly on the grill. It's always a plus when a place offers corn cheese as a side--it adds that perfect creamy contrast to the smoky, grilled meat. A great spot for anyone who appreciates a good BBQ session.

Thankfully, they're still available when I'm here since it's within the time range. I got their Golden Original Boneless wings along with rice. I gotta that these are very big wings! Something you can have for your second meal if you're full right now. All of that including a soft drink is $15.99, which is quite affordable. The wings are very crispy and delicious. The rice is like other ones I usually eat but I'm not really gonna get down to that. What really matters is the wings since it's the main part of the meal. I'm definitely looking forward for other types of wings as well as different lunch options. Perhaps get the main entree to feed the whole family. I'm still disappointed that it rarely gets any customers. I recommend coming here for one of the best Korean-style chicken wings.

To me, the food ended up being just okay. It definitely wasn't bad, but a lot of it was dry and pretty average when it came to seasoning and flavor. Now, you might be thinking, "What do I know about good BBQ?". To be fair, I'm not claiming to be a BBQ expert. But I do know I've had BBQ at other well-known spots around the Bay Area and even in Texas that was much more flavorful, juicy, and moist. FOOD: 7/10 A lot of us ordered brisket-based dishes, and unfortunately, the brisket was pretty dry. Even after dipping it in their BBQ sauce, it was still dry, the sauce mainly just added flavor. For my sides, I got the potato salad and coleslaw. The potato salad was good! The coleslaw, however, was pretty mid. It mostly tasted like plain cabbage and could've used a bit more flavor. The cornbread had a nice, slightly toasted exterior, but the inside was very dry and crumbly, making each bite fall apart. I was especially excited to try the banana pudding because I'd been craving it for the longest time, and thankfully, it didn't disappoint. It had that classic creamy pudding texture, the vanilla wafers were perfectly soft, the whipped cream was smooth, and overall I really enjoyed it. SERVICE: 9/10 Ordering is done through a QR code on your phone, and the staff brings everything out to you. We had barely submitted our order when our drinks and dessert arrived, and our entrées followed shortly after. Everything came out surprisingly fast. We also had the chance to meet Juju, who is Jackie's cousin (Jackie is the owner and chef). If you look at the menu, there's actually a section featuring Juju's specialty teas and juices. She was honestly the sweetest and funniest person. I absolutely adored her! She was so fun to chat with and shared that a lot of well-known Bay Area names have stopped by Jackie's, including LaRussell, E-40, and members of the 49ers. It was such a nice interaction and definitely one of the highlights of our visit. AMBIANCE: 7/10 The restaurant is simple and spacious with plenty of different seating options. If you're looking to grab a drink, they also have a bar area. The restrooms are downstairs. The sink and toilet were kind of going through it but they got the job done. There's parking available both upstairs and downstairs. Just be careful because the parking spaces are pretty tight and narrow. Overall, I can definitely see why people enjoy this place, but for me, the BBQ just didn't live up to the hype. I'm glad I got to try it for myself. It was definitely a situation where you need to try it for yourself despite the reviews.

    Was looking for a Chinese skewer place and this was one that popped up near San Jose. Quiet shop…read moreand not much people for 7pm on a weekday. Service was quick and ordered via the QR code. The skewers are cooked in the back first and are on a warm plate when brought out. I got the beef, lamb, and chicken skewers. They were all seasoned well but bit overcooked as all the meat was tough and stuck the skewer. The tofu skin and bun was good. I got the mini skewers for the beef and lamb because it came in multiple per order but they were thin and not much meat. Would suggest you get single skewers. Parking in the plaza was easy. Skewers were a bit pricy.

    This is located in Santana Row. i placed in order online for a pick up and it was such an easy…read moreprocess too. i've never been here before, but have been dying to try it out. My sister wanted bbq for her birthday and so we opted for this place. i loved they way that it was decorated. it's like a bar and bbq served in one place. Since i've never been here before i was really surprised by their portion sizes. it was well worth the money spent and picking up was easy too. super nice guys who helped me. i was a bit confused on what kind of sauces they had. the person who helped me gave me a run down and explained their sauces. they also gave me some samples to try to take home as welll. by far i think id have to agree that their tin roof sauce is the best sauce my sister even wanted to know if she could just buy their bbq sauce. other then that we ordered roughly a good portion of bbq- pulled pork, cheddar cheese jalapeño sausage, burnt ends, brisket, chicken wings, and ribs. our sides were the cajun rice, green beans, cole slaw and corn succatash. would probably love to come back for their lunch special one of these days.

    This is a do-it-all family restaurant. It's right next to the playground and Smitten for yougins…read more Inside there are golf simulators and dart boards for older kids. There is beer, wine, liquor inside. Longer benches for families and friends. This place rocked it for me. I am from the Bay but live in San Diego now, have kids and stuff. Came with another family and the kids just had so much fun running around. The dude and I had fun playing golf, wife and her friend had fun chatting on the side. The food here is excellent. I wouldn't say its the best BBQ in the states but it's certainly better than anything in San Diego. I simply got the chicken tacos and a couple glasses of wine. The chicken tacos were great, flavorful, well seasoned. They're a bit steep at $23 for 3 tacos but well sized and worth it. Whenever I'm vising from out of town and have family with me we'll likely stop here. It's great.
