Pros: - Ordering system is efficient and intuitive. There is a 6 item limit on some things but you can keep ordering and ordering on your phone. - Great variety of sides and appetizers that were all tasty. Tried almost everything (too many to name individually) and nothing was disappointing. - Meat quality was decent - Although no sauce bar, there is a lot of sauces to choose from so you won't get sick of one taste. - The restaurant is well ventilated and clean. - The grill works well. The smoke goes straight into air vents which are around the grill so it doesn't go into your face. - No distracting music so it's easy to talk. - Servers were nice. - Not a long wait. - Soft drinks are included in premium package. Cons: - No dessert - Bathrooms don't have changing tables (women's and men's) read more

Delicious cuts of meat! We got the premium option & gorged on the brisket, beef tongue, and short rib. You can tell that the quality of meats were of high quality, as they don't smother the meat with sauces/seasonings! This is definitely the type of place to have the quality of meat shine. The sauces were something that was surprisingly unique! They had a fruity soy sauce and a miso sauce that was delicious--I never eat my bbq with sauces, but this was so good. Highly recommend Ushiya! read more

The overall experience was pretty decent. Came here around 630pm on a Saturday and got seated within 10 mins, the line wasn't too long. I usually have low expectation for AYCE KBBQ since I wouldn't expect the quality to be good, but Ushiya surprised me and my friends. The quality was actually pretty solid and there are many items to pick from the menu when it comes to sides and meat choices. We got the premium option, so ordered mostly waygu beefs. The only complaint was the portion, it's AYCE but some of the meats came with just 3 or 4 slices. We would all had a small piece, then had to keep ordering more, which was kind of annoying. Just give more, so we wouldn't have to order 5 times of the same thing.. Prob would try other places first before coming back! read more

This was a solid spot. The meat was good, and the sauces were really good. They were good on their own but definitely paired well with different meats. There's tons of seating, and the servers were quick. Only downside was that our table was a little sticky, so the place could be a bit cleaner. Other than that, it was a good experience. read more

Ushiya Grill - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Came on a Friday at around 5:00 pm, which is right before the major rush comes in. We did the $35/person option, which doesn't come with drink refills, unlike the $55/person option. I thought that was kinda greedy. The place is a good size with plenty of seating. Anyways, the food did come out fairly quickly. Service is fast, and they clear out your dishes consistently as well. You order on your phone through the QR code on the table. The meats are very nice quality. I usually aim for the brisket and yakishabu. The corn cheese is also good because it comes in its own container to be put on the grill. Other places wrap it in foil, so I prefer this. Overall, love this place, but no refills on soft drinks is kinda crazy. read more

So we decided to try this place on a Saturday night without a reservation. We walked in on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We opted for the premium course for $55/person. Once we were seated, we were greeted immediately and were given a menu. One thing I immediately noticed was the cleanliness. The menu I got had some sauce on it, and the table was sticky, needing another wipe down. The moment they sit you down, they activate the QR code once you decide which package you're going to do, and that is where you order from. From there on, you have pretty little interaction with your server. You order from the QR code, and they just set your orders on the little side table for you to grab when you're ready to cook them. Drinks were very limited. They don't have any hot tea or unsweet tea, and their drinks are all from their soda machine, which you would hope would have more choices, but it didn't. So one thing I will say is order accordingly. Order your food however you want it set on your table. They only allow you 6 per order. I ordered a combination of meat and sides first, then the rice and the rest of the sides. The first order came right away, but it was only the meat and the cheese corn. The rest of the sides took a while to arrive at our table. We had to ask one of the hosts for our sides cause it took too long. Our meat was already done, and yet we still had no rice. The host got us the rice immediately, and our initial order arrived at our table another 5 minutes later. The meat quality was really good, but their customer service was very mediocre. Even asking for the bill took a while. I then had to ask the host again for our bill, since our initial server never really checked on us after he activated our QR code. All in all, this was an okay experience. There are definitely better Japanese BBQs in the bay. read more

Had an awesome experience at Ushiya having pretty awesome Japanese bbq. The service here was fast and the restaurant is pretty big. I got the signature combo and my favorites was the brisket, and the think ushiya signature beef pieces which came with a sweet sauce. Enjoyed the veggie sides, the fries , corn cheese and the gyoza as well! Overall all the meats here were pretty good and would come back! read more

I came in for the $35 per person AYCE menu. The menu states that there is a 2 person minimum per table. I joined the Yelp waitlist while going to the restaurant. I've seen this spot get packed so I'm glad I beat the dinner rush. The floors are slippery from grease. I recommend walking very carefully through the restaurant and assisting those in your party that may be at risk for falling or slipping. Once you are seated, a staff member will come over with a tablet and activate the QR Code on your table. This will allow you to order from your phone. Keep an eye on the website because it added 5 bowls of rice, 1 edamame , and more without us touching the website. It was just me and my boyfriend so I know we didn't order it. Some meats were better than others; the one that looks similar to a bulgogi was really good. It was juicy and tender. I can't say the same for the last batch of brisket we received. It was dry and chewy. I know it wasn't cooking error since we cooked the first batch of brisket well. I saw many reviews saying that takoyaki was really good. I can confidently say it was better than the last batch of brisket. read more

One of my go to spots now for AYCE meats! The below is based on my first time..but I've gone a handful of times since. They do Yelp Waitlist, which is pretty accurate. I believe they also take reservations too. I showed up a bit later, but told the staff, and they put my name back on the list. AYCE premium $55/head $17 asahi super dry pitcher Our highlights were: fatty brisket wagyu short rib premium tongue center beef small intestine quite good Sides were limited, but lettuce was fresh. You can order 6 meats at a time, but you can order multiple times at once (if you order 6 meats, you can immediately order another 6) 90 min limit I'm sure it is more busy and hectic during peak hours. Weekday dinners probably a good time to go or right when they open. A few notes for improvement: -solely commenting on the diet coke...it is flatter than most fountain sodas, so might need to get it checked -it would be nice if there were physical pictures or marks/comments of which meat was what Should be able to find parking in the plaza. read more

This was our second time at Ushiya Grill, and we had another great experience! We were seated right away, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Elliot, was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was great from start to finish. We'll definitely be coming back again! read more

Finally made time to eat here. The place is huge and my party walked in on a weekend evening without reservations. We were seated within minutes. Menu is all you can eat for 90 mins. There's the regular price of $35 per person or the upgrade price of $55 per person. The upgraded side includes premium cuts of meat like Wagyu. The tables are different than Korean bbq. The vents are built around the grill instead of a huge vent overhead. Ordering is done by QR code and a max of 6 plates can be ordered at a time. This is time consuming since every single plate counts toward that 6 such as a side of mushrooms or a cup of lettuce. So get all your meat orders in before ordering sides and sauces. The meat comes out in small trays which after a while they start to take up valuable table space. The meat selection on the printed menu and the QR menu doesn't really line up but we found what we wanted eventually. Grills are changed upon request and service was quick. I think this is great for two people or a small group. But not for a big family. read more

Really impressed with the quality here. The marbling on the beef was great, and it sizzled perfectly on the grill.

I love it here. It's such a good deal! We got the $35 option and it came with a lot of appetizers but they also have a $55 option that comes with American and Australian Wagyu and unlimited soda. Service is good and prompt and there's a lot of sauces for you to dip your meat in all the food is really good. You can order up to six items at a time but didn't give you a rate in between each order. Surprisingly, I really loved their takoyaki. The ambience is nice and welcoming as well. read more

Ushiya Grill - $35 pp! - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Came here for lunch on the weekend. It wasn't too busy surprisingly but then it got much busier. However, service was top notch, always bringing our orders, changing the grill and refilling drinks Lots of good quality meats. However, since we ordered so much meat (group of 6), we didn't know what meats were what as there were no labels. It was a bit difficult to reorder the meats we liked, but eventually we got it. They also have delicious sides to chose from as well, from chicken karaage to dumplings to miso eggplant and miso soup. There's a large parking lot here but since it's in a busy plaza with other restaurants parking can be hard to find. read more

Yakiniku is a lot more rare than its Korean counterpart, so I was excited about finding an AYCE Japanese BBQ (with minor KBBQ influence) to go to after a morning of fishing. Ushiya Grill is relatively new, so I think they've tweaked a few things since my visit. Currently, their basic menu is $35/pp and the premium menu with wagyu is $55/pp. I opted for the basic menu like I usually do on my first visit to an AYCE because meat is meat. Good * Meat quality is solid and marinades are good (spicy here means drizzled with gochujang). * Food comes out fast, and service is solid. * The fruit soy and miso sauces on the table are tasty. * Soy marinaded meats are flavored well; sweet soy finger rib was our favorite cut. * Very popular and busy, but seems to have a shorter wait time than other AYCE places in the bay, and usage of Yelp waitlist and reservations. * Reasonable price for AYCE yakiniku. Bad * They may forget an order submission, or forget to tell you it's out of stock. * Paper menu differs from what they actually offer on the QR code you use to order from phone, so it's hard to plan for what to eat, and several items listed on the paper menu were not available. * Water is room temperature and basically tap water flavored with a lemon slice. * Rice is questionably dirty, hard, dry, and clumped up. * Appetizers are budget versions. * The thinner cuts have a tendency to stick to the grill. The complaints are only minor, and I'd enjoy coming here again. It's located in the center of a spacious plaza with a lot of parking and other Asian restaurants and tea. read more

Ushiya Grill - Variety of meats and some cheese corn - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

First time at Ushiya and wow--what a feast! Their all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ lets you grill your own meats, and it's as fun with friends as it is flavorful. From marbled cuts to savory marinades, every bite was sizzling perfection. The vibe? Energetic and welcoming, with staff who keep the plates coming and the grill hot and clean. Great for groups, date nights, or anyone craving hands-on dining with bold flavors. Can't wait to go back and try even more! read more

Always a delicious culinary experience of meat, meat, and more meat! The Raw Wagyu yukke is one of my favorite menu items here and an interesting take on what otherwise would be a tartare.. I suppose it could use a little bit of raw egg to balance it out, but whatever they use is nice and flavorful. The place has changed a bit since I last came, and the grill at the table had a much more open flame aspect to it, which does really well in getting a char on the meats, though susceptible to hotspots.. Just gotta learn the grill a bit to cook to your liking. The hotspots certainly cause grill marks, which.. depending on preference.. isn't necessarily desired. Pay attention to their specials as they offer 5% off the table on certain days and also for birthdays. read more

Meat Lovers Heaven - AYCE! They have two menus: the Signature at $35/person and the Premium at $55/person.

We found out about this place when they were literally starting to accept customers. It was not cheap but also they advertised ayce wagyu for $55. We came in without expectations but pleasantly surprised! The servers were prompt at getting the meats out as they have a time limit like most:Their grill gets pretty hot therefore we are able to just have the fatty cuts only kiss the grill a little bit. Unlike other places where it doesnt get hot enough and the fat does not get rendered! Wish they have the names of the cuts when they take the meat out. Often times were googling and guessing. i have had better quality wagyu but still also better than most! for the prize id definitely go back. read more

This place is okk, the fist round of meat was pretty solid (u could tell it was frozen) but ok marbling. IN MY DEFENCE BEFORE I GET ATTACKED, i have been blessed to be able to try a variety of kbbq places so for 35 dollars it does the job well and thats why it has this review. The meat quality dropped after the first round and it stayed there. My friends enjoyed the appetizers a little more than the meat too, so that should say something. Overall, this is a cool place, not somewhere i would actively go out to but could understand if someone else wanted to read more

Ushiya Grill - Brisket - Japanese Near Me - Milpitas, California

This was a 10/10 experience for me. We dined around noon on a weekday and were greeted and seated right away as there was no line/wait. They do have a waitlist tablet by the door so that is an option for busier hours and larger parties. I liked how we were able to place our orders through a QR link so we didn't have to wait or flag our servers at any point during our meal. The service was very quick and efficient once we placed our orders. They also took away empty plates right away to clear our table. Our server attended to our table and was able to change our grill 4 times when she noticed it was time for a grill change. She was very kind and checked up on our table asking if we needed any more utensils or drinks. The meat we ate was amazing. I loved the premium selection on the menu. Each bite was so tender and flavorful. The dipping sauces were a great addition to the grilled meat. I love this restaurant and would recommend anyone in the Bay Area to stop by for a good selection of AYCE meat! I left full and satisfied with everything here :) Our bill came to be around $144 with 20% tip! Overall, we knew we got our moneys worth here. Come with an empty stomach so you can take advantage of the menu! This place is worth it. read more

This restaurant is kind of new, but I have already been here like two times because it's just that good and especially for the price that you're paying for all you can eat Wagyu. I like to call ahead to make reservation for the weekend just to avoid the wait. It can get really busy on the weekends. The food here is really good and I really enjoy all the type of meats they have. My family really likes this place a lot too, which is very surprising to me because they rarely eat out. The restaurant is a little bit on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but service is really quick because you order everything with a QR code on your phone! read more

Great experience at Ushiya Grill! Ordering was super easy and straightforward, and everything came out quickly once we placed it. The service was fast and attentive without feeling rushed--they were always on top of refills and grill changes. The ventilation is also really good, which made the whole meal much more comfortable (no smoky smell lingering on clothes after). Quality of the meats was solid and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Overall, smooth, efficient, and really enjoyable Japanese BBQ. Would definitely come back! read more

So delicious! Friendly, fast service paired with excellent quality meat. We opted for the premium menu, which is definitely pricier but I think worth it for the wagyu quality. I only tried meats from the premium menu (except for brisket which was pretty good), so I can't really speak to the signature menu's quality. Every piece we ordered was very tender, but my favorites were definitely the premium tongue center and the wagyu short rib. Their tongue cuts are a little bit on the thicker end than I'm used to, which I actually kinda like because it was still quite tender. You order on your phone which makes it super easy, and the service is quick at bringing out the dishes. I also appreciated that the portion sizes for each meat order were on the smaller side, allowing us to try more variety without over-ordering. Since I went as a party of two, this was especially great. For appetizers and sides, the miso eggplant was fantastic. I didn't expect a whole eggplant, and I loved the smoky char from the grill. The takoyaki was crispy and while it could have used a little bit more octopus, I honestly did not mind considering how much meat we already had. The kimchi was crunchy and fresh as well. I would love if they offered rice paper or a small dessert like ice cream, but at least I saved on carbs! Made a reservation for weekend lunch and it was easy to get seated (although quite packed). I think dinner time is even busier but they do have yelp waitlist which is a plus. read more

My come away from visiting Ushiya was that I need to visit again, but also need to try the wagyu tier. First impressions were that it's was a bit more greasy and unclean than I had anticipated. I know it's AYCE BBQ, but it's also Japanese and it was more unclean than most of any other AY E BBQ places. The service, good--standard. They do stations, so my beer (which came in a plastic cup :( ) took a while longer while the meats were quick. The food was good. I enjoy the smaller portions. Be quick with cooking because it burns fast. Overall, experience was fine, but I did feel like the little things could have made the experience that much better, like actual glass cups for beer and maybe wipe the tables down a bit better so it's not as greasy? read more

I especially appreciated the wide range of sides and appetizers included with the menu! The restaurant was clean and staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience.

This place is a favorite for when it comes to JBBQ. At a recent visit, we found out they now have mini donburi bowls! These are perfect if you need some rice to go along with the grilled meats. The Donburi Bowls are included with both grill menu options (Signature and Premium) and they even have a Lunch Special for a Mini Donburi Set! My favorite one was the Yakiniku Donburi (it had so much flavor) and then Curry Tonkatsu Donburi falling close behind as my second fav. Lunch Special Mini Donburi Sets - all under $20!

Tried Ushiya for the first time and wow... it was so good! We got there right before they opened, so we were lucky to snag seats before the dinner rush hit. We went for the premium tier ($55 per person) since it included a lot more wagyu cuts. The brisket? Absolute favorite -- it literally melted in our mouths. They also serve plenty of appetizers like chicken karaage, fries, gyoza, and more. Plus, all the non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price, which was such a nice bonus. You also get to order on your phone, so no need to wait on your server! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!

Ambiance: Ambiance is standard, much like any other BBQ place, it can get a little bit loud sometimes. But the volume level overall is pretty low compared to other BBQ spots I have been to. Service: Service is speedy, diligent, and attentive. 10/10. Meats: A lot of the meats here are very high quality, especially when it comes to the wagyu meats on the premium menu. I honestly would recommend going premium. The cuts of meats like the Harami skirt, hanging tender, and Zabuton are some of the best meats I have had at an ACYE BBQ spot. They even have wagyu yukke that my girlfriend really enjoys. (It comes out a little icy sometimes, but if you let it dethaw, it is so soft and smooth). Appetizers: I will say that usually when I go to a BBQ spot, I don't care so much about the appetizers. But, the appetizers here are ACYE and they are actually pretty well rounded. Some of the portion sizes are smaller, but that is okay considering you can order however many you like. Drinks: Soft drinks are all you can drink here! Time: At the end of ACYE BBQ, I was pretty full at the end of my time here as well, but I do wish they would give a little bit more time than 90 minutes. read more

AMAZING KBBQ SPOT. I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate and we been dying to try this place. The wait was incredibly long and I suggest going on yelp to put your name down. They were extremely busy and they ran out of shot glasses and menus really fast but the server starts you off and then you order through your phone the rest of the 90 minutes. Even though it was busy, the service was great. The servers, hosts and runners were very accommodating. The tables were spaced out and food came out in a timely manner. Very cute place. We got the upgraded choice to get the wagyu cuts and so worth it. The meat is tender and soft. The sauces really complimented the meat. I LOVED the sides. Usually I won't get sides at kbbq because I just want the meats but so worth trying and next time, I'd probably get more. The takoyaki was so crispy and soft in the center. Most of the times I've had takoyaki its so mushy but this one was fantastic. I think this place is worth the wait and the hype. I'd def come here again! read more
