    went for dinner today with my mom. it's a saturday so it's quite busy but we got seated pretty quickly. i like the slightly dark ambiance in there, pretty chill and relaxing. our server jonathan was very attentive despite how busy it was. appreciate him for checking up on me and my mom many times and giving us extra napkins. what a sweet guy! the beef tongue was def my favorite, chewy and bouncy, got like 6 plates lol. and their shrimps are very fresh and has a slightly sweet taste to it even without any seasoning. overall a very pleasant experience :D

    My friend took me here for an early birthday celebration. We got the premium package. We tried all the Wagyu meats. Our server Ethan was great, he cooked for us for the first round. This is our first time there. He explained very thoroughly what each item was and how he was going to cook it. He also recommended us what to order that is only part of premium package. We ordered lots sushi. My friend doesn't eat raw, but I ate the raw stuff. We asked for the wagyu steak to be cooked medium rare, it was delicious. Ambiance of the restaurant is great. Great for groups. I would come back again and try other foods. Note that you only get to sit for 90 minutes and then you need to go.

    Came here for a lunch mid week with my work team. Came shortly after opening time for lunch and it was crackin'. Lots of people but we got seated fairly quickly. The complex itsself is very reminisent of Japan. After recently coming back it was a nice reminder that there are places in the bay that make it feel close to the real thing. Food was good, sushi was tasty and everything came out very fast. I think my rating is soley based off my personal perference and really feel like I love Korean BBQ more then Japanese BBQ. Just felt the flavors were not as strong and very little sauce options. Place is definitely worth trying because you can get a little of everything for one price. Different cuts of Wagyu ( short ribs were the best), ramen, claypot and sushi. Also like that although it is AYCE they give you smaller servings to try and not fill up right away.

    The 5 stars is ONLY for the wonderful service. Server Minh is the absolute GOAT despite a busy Friday night he was on top of it and got everything out really fast and kept up the positive attitude. The food honestly was meh. Most of the sushi isn't really fresh and the meat can come out tough. Really clean restaurant and great ventilation with AC working really hard.

    Great AYCE Japanese style bbq yakiniku! I'm surprised I haven't visited before but will definitely be a regular. My husband and I were looking for a new BBQ spot and found this spot via Yelp. We came in on a Sunday around 5pm and it wasn't too busy. There is plenty of seating inside. We opted for the silver tier, which is their lowest. You scan a QR code and are able to order on your phone which is nice. The menu wasn't too big but there was all the delicious meats and sushi you can get. My husband loved the Wagyu bulgogi. I loved the salmon lovers roll and the black garlic ramen. The portions are small which is perfect so you can try different types of sushi and appetizers. The meats were all good especially for the price. Overall I thought the menu and foods were all great. The sauces they had at the table was good too, ponzu and sweet soy. The service was great. Our server was super nice and refilled our water several times. Meats came out fairly quickly and our table was cleared quickly whenever we had empty plates. The space was clean and the ventilation was awesome. I definitely recommend this spot!

    I kept seeing Wagyu Grill AYCE pop up on my Instagram, so I finally decided to give it a try. The ambiance was really nice, and the restaurant had a great vibe. The all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and sushi definitely did not disappoint. We ordered the Premium Menu, which gives you access to the full selection, and there was a great variety of wagyu meats and sushi to choose from. Everything came out quickly, and the service was excellent throughout the meal. We also had a few Dragon Martinis, and they were delicious. My only complaint is that they were served in plastic cups instead of glassware. It also felt like the drinks weren't as cold as they should have been and were closer to room temperature. Overall, the food and service were excellent, and despite the minor issue with the drinks, I'd definitely come back again.

    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.

    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!

    black garlic ramen - must get
    Cynthia W.

    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

    When I first had bbq chicken, it was incredible. So juicy, crispy, perfect amount of flavor, quick…read moreservice, easy meal. One of my favorites, except for the fact it is a little pricey. I kept going back for awhile but started to notice the fry on the chicken wasn't the same so I stopped for maybe a year. After I finished dining at the restaurant next door, bbq chicken looked like it was closed (like permanently!). I was actually so disappointed because I did want to give it another try. A couple weeks later I checked online and they were open again! I went back and omg it is SO much better! I don't know what they did.. did the recipe change? Did they change the oil? Different oil? Whatever it is, keep it up because this chicken is so smacking good. Even my brother said this is actually pretty comparable to the ones in Korea. Only one thing to note is the original spicy isn't as spicy as it used to be! Maybe add a bit more kick to it? Otherwise, it was a great experience, plenty of seating, very clean and casual interior. Can't wait to go back!

It gives off fast food place but at the same time it's also somewhere that I could see a lot of people sitting and drinking with friends at night Service: 8/10 Like I said, it's more like a fast food place. You place the order at your table and they bring it to you. Other than that, theres not much checking in. But the lady was so nice! Food: 8/10 The water had some weird specs in it so we decided to order sparkling water lol. We ordered: - side of coleslaw The Portion was PERFECT - Soy Garlic Chicken It was good but the seasoning was more on the salty side - So Ddeok So Ddeok Love love love the rice cake, I don't really like sausages so I put it to the side, but my boyfriend ended up eating it all anyways. Overall, it a great place to come, hang out and grab a bite. The chicken was just a little too salty for my liking but everything is such a reasonable price!

Skewers are decently priced in comparison to the other skewer locations in the city. Parking is readily available in the plaza. Happy hour is from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm everyday. Some dishes are on a discount. Ordering is mainly done via QR code. All skewers were covered in the same seasoning. Overall tasty but can be boring after a couple of skewers. There are some additional seasonings on each table to change things up a little. The mushroom skewers were plain, so the seasoning really stood out to be crunchier due to the salt. Fishball skewers were soft. Most of the flavor came from the seasoning itself. The lamb and beef skewers were great. The meat textures were different and difference in meat taste was noticeable. Staff was friendly and will try to converse in Mandarin first. They can also speak English, so everything went fine regardless. During my time here, most people came to pick up their takeout instead of eating in the store. Will be back to get my fix on skewers due to its appropriate pricing in comparison to other places.

The location that we went to is located next to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row on Olin Ave. There is a free 2 hour parking structure across of the restaurant where my boyfriend and I parked at. We came during their Lunch Specials (until 4pm) and Happy Hour (from 3-5:30pm) which worked perfectly as we wanted something smaller in portion compared to the dinner portions. We started off with drinks. I got their Pig Ol' Bitties Blonde Ale, and my boyfriend got their Friday Beer & Shot special of This Little Piggy Went to [Mark]et with a 16 oz Dirty Little Pig IPA and a shot of Benchmark whiskey. My fault for having him get a whiskey shot on an empty stomach, though HAHA. He did like how smooth the whiskey was at least! We shared a 2-meat BBQ Lunch Combo Plate, and honestly, we should have gotten 3 meats because of how tender and delicious everything was! We got their Tri Tip and Sliced Brisket with their Garlic Mash and server recommended Sweet Potato Tots. Ahhh, everything was so good! Aside from the tender, flavorful meats, the two sides, especially the garlic mash, were sooooo good. We both loved everything! It was definitely a great choice coming during lunch as we were quite full after ordering one of their happy hour shareables of Chips & Queso (kind of pricey even for happy hour in my opinion for chips and cheese). Honestly wished we got their Chili Cheese Fries or their other fries which were the same price than just chips and dip LOL. But it was a good hold over food with us drinking a bit (at least for me). Shoutout to the only server who was working on a late Friday afternoon as she was doing her best to accommodate everyone + trying to clean up the previous tables. It was kind of sad seeing that the other workers didn't help bus the tables in my opinion. Overall, a great place to watch sports and have some good whiskey as this restaurant is known for their whiskey selections! The lunch BBQ exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back for another lunch special meal but probably with 3 meats this time!
