    Atmosphere is modern, it has a nice contemporary feel. Service is okay, they will get their job done. What i like about this place is that they offer both all you can eat kbbq and sushi!! They also have a lot of appetizers and side dishes you can choose from. Their sauce and salad bar has a weird location and setting but thats just me nitpicking. Carpaccios are good, but their sushi is very mediocre - but it will serve its purpose! Meats are nice, my favorite is the beef tongue. Overall, this is one of our goto spots for kbbq because of their japanese inspired offerings.

    Wagyu Grill AYCE is a place we frequent for lunch and dinner. This review is strictly for dinner visit. Lots of parking and beautifully decorated spacious restaurant. We sat close to the side bar and immediately greeted by our server. We of course started with some drinks then ordered through the iPad. Started with cold dishes, meat dishes, soup dishes, and staple dishes. 90 minutes passed by so fast but we were allowed to sit and continue to hangout as long as no food is ordered.

    Salad bar goodies, wagyu, and pork belly on the grill. The popcorn chicken and salmon sashimi.

    I gone here for my cousin's graduation lunch celebration. I love going here but it's my kryptonite. If I have shrimp or beef, my eczema gets worse but it's so worth it! That's how much I will sacrifice to eat wagyu. I love how they have sushi and and appetizers are good but the salmon and sashimi though. The popcorn chicken is more breaded and chicken is dry. I had the pork belly and it was too fatty for my taste so I didn't order it again. Edit: I went today with my friends to try their lunch deal. $25 dollars?! Say less. I got to try the wagyu fried rice and wagyu udon. I love it but I usually stick with the meat. I only ate 1/4 of each carbohydrates bowl. The popcorn chicken once again has too much breaded and the gyoza is below average. Still, the sushi, sashimi, and meat are delicious. The pork belly was not fatty as I remember from my last visit. Our servers and hosts were polite and accommodating. I asked to be seated near the salad bar and tv so I can watch the game. It's a new and clean restaurant.

    Delicious AYCE Wagyu and sushi place! There's three tiers of meat you can choose from. Ordering is all online using a QR code (10 items every 3 minutes), super easy to keep track of because each other is time stamped! There's a salad bar with some assorted fruits and jello as well. The drinks vary between $2.50-$5 but the soft drinks are unlimited refills! Cute little spot in barber lane but parking can get busy! We saw a lot of larger parties as well as parties of 2-3. You can reserve a table ahead of time using yelp if you want!

    Came here with a party of 10. We had 3 grills, which I liked for our bigger size of a party. Ordering on the menu was easy as you do it through your phone and can order every 3 mins. The service was great. They would come out with our food fairly quickly and checked on us. I did had to ask a couple of times for water refill though. But not terrible. On to the food, I love how they had sashimi, rolls, apps, and sides. We got the silver which was australian wagyu. The actual meat was okay. Some seemed a bit too tough and not as tender as I wanted. Some were good, but some were meh. I did really like the black garlic ramen! Also the shrimp is already peeled. Wow. So good.

    I came here for the ayce lunch special. They have several options of beef, some chicken, shrimp, pork, sides, sushi rolls, and sashimi to choose from. I liked the Australian wagyu plate, Australian wagyu steak and the Australian Mizuki Sasa. The Mizuki Sasa was the most tender meat from the selection. I quite like the sushi rolls and I loved the Salmon Jalapeño and Salmon Sunomono. They have a self serve bar with kimchi, seaweed, kimchi cucumber, bean sprouts, salad, fruit and a dessert. I think the food wasn't bad for $25. The server was kind and patient. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Came here with my friend for Saturday lunch, we arrived at 11:30 when they first opened so we were able to be seated almost immediately. This was my first time, but my friend had been here before so she knew what to do. The menu is again QR code style and you order directly on your phone. As it was AYCE, they do limit 90 minutes and each time we order we could only select 6-8 items (I cannot remember the exact number), and must wait for a few minutes before we can add more. There is a salad bar with fruit and dessert. My friend likes sashimi so she ordered a number of marinated salmon and other sort of raw fish. I was there for the mean so i added some beef. The meat was VERY THINLY sliced, so it cooked very quickly. But as it was very thin, I really could not really enjoy the texture, I felt like I was just eating meat flavored paper... They were so thin I cannot tell if they are really wagyu... but my other experience of wagyu in Asia was that they actually melt in my mouth, but here I still had to chew, despite how thin they were sliced. for that it was only 3 star for me. The service was decent as it was AYCE. The place was hugh and noisy, and by the time we left it was 2/3 packed. There was a hugh bar but since we did not order any mixed drink, not sure how good they are. I was full, but will likely not come back unless there is a strong reason for it.

    Good: decently priced AYCE for everything it came with, but will definitely go with the Gold option instead of Premium if I do ever come back Bad: wasn't particularly impressed with the Wagyu Service was prompt and attentive, plates were cleared by anyone who saw an empty plate. Didn't take a million years to get the next round of food either. They limit 10 items per round which is reasonable, just make sure to order once you're half way done to keep the flow. I didn't leave smelling like KBBQ, or at least not as bad as I expected to smell. I know it's not KBBQ but still lol

    Super duper affordable AYCE Japanese bbq right in the biggest foodie plaza of Milpitas, so glad to have got a table upon signing up on their waitlist relatively within ETA! The wagyu quality ( especially the bulgolgi style wagyu wow!!) super tender, delicious and fresh. You'll be prompted to order your rounds on a device and EVERYTHING comes out super fast, I swear their staff is in a run club or something. Their sushi sides are also pretty decent too for AYCE, I only wish that the sashimis didn't come with salad everytime because I really just wanted the fish haha. Super high quality almost on par with one of my fave AYCE sushi places in SF!!! Shout out Angeline (I think that's the spelling?) for amazing attentive, quick service!

    This was a pretty standard set up for AYCE bbq. We came on a Friday for lunch time to try the $26 per person menu. We didn't have any issues with waiting as we were seated right away. The servers explained that we'd scan the QR code and then can order 10 dishes every 3 mins. The ordering system was pretty easy to use and I liked that it was more efficient to input your order. There is a salad bar in the corner with salad and different dressings, edamame, spicy pickled cucumbers, pickled radish, bean sprouts, and kimchi. The spicy pickled cucumbers and kimchi were mild and not very spicy. Some of the tasted like they were a bit old and possibly not the freshest. The bbq food was alright. I liked the thinly sliced wagyu. I feel like the bulgogi style chicken was pretty delicious. There were other veggies like onion, mushroom, zucchini. They forgot to bring out the steam rice to us and we eventually didn't want it bc we had so much food already. There was the wagyu fried rice and that was very buttery and delicious. I think the rolls are actually what's the best here. We enjoyed the California rolls, and fried California roll, and the ocean roll. The chicken karage, miso soup, and thicker wagyu meat are okay, I would probably skip those. The dessert was limited in that there was like mango and berry jellos, mini cakes, and fruit like oranges and melon. Overall it was a good amount of food for an affordable price. Our server was friendly and attentive.

    Came with my mother assuming their silver 35$ deal but they only had the gold value for July 4th at 45$. Came with more select sushi options and wagyu cuts. Everything was ordered through our own phone using a qr code, menu ui was relatively easy to navigate. Food came relatively quick but that was where the good ended. Honestly cuts of meat presented well but they all really felt lack luster being unseasoned besides the bulgogi. At a certain point everything just tastes like meat. The sushi variety was definitely better, I enjoyed the carpaccio, they had a nice ponzu sauce that came with it that paired nicely with the fish. The rolls were very heavy, good cooked options for my mom but a bit too drenched in sauce for me which made it sweet. The side foods bar was also extremely lackluster, just some kimchi and beansprouts, none proved above average, only dessert option was squares of some cake. The service itself was great, servers were attentive and stopped by frequently. Some items came delayed which caused us to double order but otherwise great.

    This was my, and my friend's, first time here. Our server was extremely attentive and walked us through everything. The dishes came out quickly and the sushi was fresh and tasty. We got the lowest tier, which came out to about $80 for 2 people, which I feel is more than fair for what you get. One disappointment was that online, the site says lunch ends at 4pm. We arrived at 3:30pm and were informed that you need to be seated by 3pm in order to qualify for the lunch special. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're trying to go for the lunch special.

    Thank you to our female server of and night. Name listed on the receipt was Jingchao C.- if this was our server, know that she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I am 100% convinced that the entire staffing and management of Wagyu Grill AYCE is top tier!! Staff is kind, helpful, prompt, friendly, + most importantly, CONSISTENT! My toddler isn't much of a meat eater but she loves a good fire-y show as well as sushi. This makes Wagyu Grill AYCE to be a good and entertaining night for us all. Extra kudos to Jingchao for being so attentive in turning our grill flames up and down accordingly. The safety of my daughter was a primary concern of hers so I didn't bat an eye at her lowering the temp. Babygirl was a little disappointed due to the smaller show of the "dancing flames" but she survived. Another 5/5 star visit from the staff and the food is impeccable as usual. This place comes highly recommended to avid meat eaters and those who like things extra saucy [our fam literally drowns everything in their 3 sauces]. Gold and Premium is typically how we roll but I honestly wouldn't mind giving Silver a try, the options look good and you save yourself some coinZ!! Great for all patrons at all price points.

    exceptional service. very unique take on sushi…read more The place is too crowded, small room, which is perfect for you to focus on culinary experience. I do not post any photo here or comment on the food. You should go and experience for yourself.

    I feel like I'm being gaslit reading everyone else's reviews.. I was so excited to try Ichika but…read moreit's ended up being the worst omakase experience I've had by far. And I've tried a fair share of omakase places. The prix fixe 9 course meal was $150 per person, and I personally feel the quality of the ingredients and overall seasoning of the dishes did not meet that price point. It was already a rough start with the appetizers. I'm also a texture person so maybe someone else would like these but I was not a fan of the vegetable jelly nor the goopy seaweed salad. Had I known this prior to dining I don't think I would have wanted to go with the omakase menu. The chawanmushi was very underseasoned and missing salt completely. On the menu it says it has crab in it but the only crab meat you get with it comes in a tiny claw that you have no way of digging out The nigiri, which I was most excited for, fell VERY flat. The fish wasn't particularly fresh and I found a bone in my nigiri. (??) The rice was also really dry and mushy. I was genuinely so disappointed at this. Miso sea bass was overly sweet which didn't really work with how fatty the fish was. It was too much. Also found more bones in the miso sea bass but that's less gobsmacking than finding it in your nigiri. The dessert, matcha tiramisu, just tasted like straight up cream and not sweet at all. I don't have a sweet tooth by any means but this could've used sugar. I didn't feel very good eating this, the fattiness of the cream plus not having any flavor ruined it for me :( Overall, the main theme is just the lack of seasoning in any of the dishes plus ingredients not being fresh. I know it's Kaiseki style, but the dishes also seemed very uninspired and plating was kinda messy. When I looked closely, the plates weren't clean and there were marks.. Maybe I'm being nitpicky but at a price point like this, the details matter. Word of advice, if you live in South Bay and want omakase, just take your $ and drive an hour up to SF. My bf took me here to celebrate our anniversary and I feel awful about how bad it was.. +1 star for the friendly service.
