    Gold tier
    Izzy T.

    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!

    Outside. Plenty of parking.

    Not welcome host but very friendly servers and kitchen food runners. Drinks taste great with great deal 2 for $20. Food selection is good for acye lunch. Average quality of meat not too good but also not too bad. Sashimi also ok. Easy to order from our phone. Clean table but the floor is bit slippery. Nice ambiance, great big TV screens that play sports. Restrooms are very clean. I minus 1 star because the salad bar, tongs and sauce bottles are sticky/dirty. Overall, i think this place is good for someone likes to eat a bit of everything. Nothing special or stand out dish but all are average good. For only $25 ayce lunch, i think the food/price point is fair.

    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.

    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.

    Don't bother with their premium tier. It's not worth it. The meat quality wasn't good. For how much you're paying. I usually love eating meat at AYCE places but I found myself liking the sushi rolls more. The kitchen was quick for meats but slow for things like rice, miso soup. We got duplicates of some orders, sometimes 20 minutes after the original order came. The staff are incredibly hard working a dirty plate would get picked up pretty quickly. The staff do a great job helping out and making sure you're taken care of.

    Sorry for the only pic I have is the sides bar. This corner building this place is located in is cursed and I'm glad it finally became a place that people actually go to. They have different level tiers for their meats/sushi but the quality of the meats is really good in my opinion. I love that it's both bbq and sushi and the sushi is better than most actual sushi spots. The service is really fast, I rarely saw my server though and was waiting for water and stuff for a bit. They have deals like all you can drink beer which is fun for parties. The plaza that it is in can get extremely busy on weekends so plan ahead!

    Jonathan B.

    It took a while to get set up because I came in a big party but the service was very good. I got the lunch menu (~$32 with 18% gratuity fee and tax) and the meat quality was good for the price. My favorite cuts were the bulgogi and the top round or something like that. Their appetizers are also great, with my favorites being the takoyaki, miso soup, and the karaage. All in all, everything went very well and this is an affordable ayce for the quality you get.

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.

We decided to go with the premium AYCE for $68 pp. Your party gets to order 2 orders of meat pp to start off with and then it is one order pp per round subsequently. There is the usual 90 min time limit before you're cut off. I have to mention, I'm a big fan of Ushiya so came with preconceptions. First and foremost, meat quality is amazingly good and the portions are large! We actually only got through 2 rounds (3 plates of meat) per person before we were tapping out. The wagyu fried rice was delicious and I enjoy all their appetizers and sides. The home made kimchi, marinated cucumbers, seaweed soup, egg yolk dipping sauce, all delicious! Service got alittle slow when more large parties came but once they were settled with their order, service picked up again. I wish they had a qr ordering system to request items, that is one thing missing. Overall, loved dinner! If you don't mind the price point and want a more higher quality Japanese AYCE grill, this is the place.

Most of their food is spicy or heavy in seasoning. We ordered 1-2 sets of combos and it came with a whole bunch of food, Korean cold noodle soup, stir fry clam, stir fry octopus, crawdad rice (super spicy!), lobster tails with corn cobs, the skewers were massive! Chicken liver, chicken heart, lamb, chicken, chicken skin, beef, tiny corn kennels. They are mostly seasoned with cumin, except the lamb and chicken, most skewers have a small amount of meat only, but taking a few of them do fill up quickly. We also got a spicy crawfish and gloves were provided. I am not a big fan of crawfish as it has very low ROI, lots of finger works for a tiny small amount of meat. The seasoning is strong so the meat does have good flavor. The most loved is probably the fried man-tou with condensed milk. When it's warm, it's so delish and a great tool to cool down the spice. It's a good place for a big party to dine and chat, only if you are not tired of cumin or spicy food.

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.

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.

    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.

    My boyfriend and I made a reservation through OpenTable for late lunch here (which definitely was…read morenot needed as it wasn't busy when we went) to try some of the BBQ before meeting up with some of my friends. 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!

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.
