    Came here with my boys and we had a good time. It's a safe space to be a big back but I've had some better experiences in queens. Overall pretty good and worth a try. We got the all you can eat deal with the wagyu which came out to around $80. Definitely work it! We got this cool wagyu tower that came with an assortment of meats and then we did way too many à la cart orders to count but the food was pretty good. Next time I would order way more ribs. Ambiance was pretty dope. Good setting to talk and catch up but the drinks were ehh. Service was also kind of blah. Our waiters took a little while and it felt like I had to chase them down.

    We stopped in for a quiet Thursday lunch. There were a few other tables, but plenty of servers, which made sense given the restaurant's strict timing policy, your last call is 20 minutes before the 90-minute limit, clearly displayed on the tablet. We did run slightly over after placing our final order, but it didn't seem to be an issue, possibly because it wasn't busy. In any case, service was attentive and efficient, and the pacing didn't feel rushed, you have enough time to enjoy the experience and make it worthwhile. We chose the AYCE Set C. I considered Set D, but since it was my first visit, I wanted to leave room to try a wider range of appetizers and sides. Set D feels more geared toward focusing on the unlimited A5 Wagyu, which I'd probably save for another visit. That said, some parts of the meal fell short. The seafood boat felt more like filler than a highlight. The lobster was underwhelming without any butter, and the low flame left the scallops closer to steamed than grilled. The Ferris wheel presentation is eye-catching, but it doesn't add much beyond aesthetics. I also found the Wagyu sliced too thin, making it difficult to get a proper sear without overcooking. Thicker cuts would have made a noticeable difference in flavor and texture. I couldn't tell which cut I was eating since there was no texture. While Set D includes unlimited Wagyu strip loin, it's limited to that one cut. Personally, I'd prefer more variety, even if it meant choosing favorites to reorder. There were some bright spots: the wagyu beef tongue was the best item of the entire meal, the rich bone broth and salad were both very good, and the shrimp tempura and shrimp with shiso skewer were enjoyable. The sashimi and beef tartare were just average, while the Wagyu sando and Wagyu fried rice didn't quite meet expectations. The A5 Wagyu toro uni sushi was also underwhelming, especially given how little uni was included and it's limited to one serving. I was more interested in the A5 Wagyu beef bowl with uni, but that's only offered with Set D. As for the additional unlimited BBQ meats, they didn't stand out, especially after eating Wagyu, all other meats eat dry. The strawberry ice and cheesecake desserts were both solid and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, it was a decent experience. Personally, I'd trade some of the presentation and extras for a better selection and execution of A5 Wagyu cuts.

    I made reservations with Steve, he is awesome, and makes sure you are good throughout the nice. The hospitality is great for ayca. The workers know what they are doing and def takes care of you. They even offer to cook some of the items and help with the menu orders. About this is there are four tier groups you can choose from (this all depends how much you can eat for the time being). Tier a is just limited amount of American waygu pieces per person for $49 and unlimited sides. Tier b is ayce American waygu with unlimited sides for $69 pp. Tier c is unlimited American waygu, limited Japanese waygu per person, and unlimited sides for $99 pp. tier d is ayca American, Japanese Wagyu, and sides for $168 pp. We got tier c and it was enough Japanese waygu to try that taste AMAZING! American short rib was awesome too. Literally melts in your mouth. You have to come ready to eat. I didn't eat too much carbs because I wanted to eat the meats! They did have waygu fried rice that was good. Now they don't have a lot of dipping or sauces; but it's not needed because the quality of the meat is delicious itself. They had their regular soy/ponzo, a dry dipping, and their chefs sauce. Mixing all three is good as well! It was def worth it, the drinks are good for presentation. We also ordered the drink with the entire soju for 19.99 (that was worth it!). Come here hungry and this place is worth it! At the end they have a dessert option with cheesecake, shaved ice, or a cake. It's not cheap either. The amount they give you is super generous. I will be back again !!

    We came here for the all you can eat. This place is spacious. You order on a tablet. We opted in for the AYCE A. We got the Y space combo, appetizers and additional meats. The Y space combo has beef, pork and chicken. We only like one cut of beef as the other were really tough and thick. It is good to try it for the first time but I don't think it's worth getting as it fills you up pretty quick and there's meat that we don't really want. We usually get the thin sliced beef and the best one is the miso toro. As for the appetizers we only got the shrimp tempura and potato salad which were both good. The star is really our waitress. I didn't get her name but she was awesome. She was very attentive, nice and she cooked all our food.

    This is an AYCE Chinese BBQ themed restaurant with a space theme. The decor makes you feel like you're in an interesting galactic restaurant. There is also a full bar available aside from the juices and bubble tea drinks offered. The waitress informed us that there are several AYCE options, four price points. The basic starts at $49.99. And it goes up to $100+. If you do not want the AYCE option, you are allowed to do a la carte. The only rule is that all members of your party must order the same price point or if you want a la carte, the whole table must do the same. Cannot do both. The menu is quite extensive. Plenty of meat! American and Japanese Wagyu available based on price plan. Each plan has its own extra benefits so be sure to check the options before deciding. I wanted uni so I would have had to order it a la carte as it was not included in my $69.99 pp plan. But since there was so much food to choose from on this American Wagyu menu plan, I chose to try everything on that instead of ordering the uni. We had Wagyu sandwiches, chicken wings, salad (great salad with house dressing), and even sushi/sashimi with our plan. Our waitress was very helpful with the questions we had and she was great at changing out our grill plate as we cooked the different meats, then switched again for the pork, and then once more for the extra round of beef we ordered. I came for a late lunch so it was a lot of food for a mid day meal. Our food was nicely presented on a wooden boat! Our waitress also helped us cook at the table. Some restaurants let you cook it yourself but we were too busy talking and drinking. All in all a good value and a good choice.

    Came here for dinner with some friends for AYCE (this was my 3rd time visiting). The service was great and the staff were very attentive. Music wasn't too loud which I like. The food was delicious, and the presentations were picture-worthy. They offer a vegetable platter with asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, corn, and pumpkin, but I only wanted the asparagus, zucchini, and mushrooms Lur waiter was really kind and brought me a full plate of just those three veggies. The only issues we had were a few crumbs left on the table when we were seated, and unfortunately I found a bug on my lettuce

    The food was amazing and the setting was top notch. Although a little pricey, but it's well worth it. Especially if you have a big party. Thé portions are sizable and filling. The service there was peak, a lot of younger folk so you'll feel pretty upbeat. Everyone there is quite polite and expedient. The waygu sando and the seltzer was bomb! I highly recommend it.

    NYC's only Space-Themed AYCE BBQ! Step inside and you'll feel like you've entered another planet -- glowing neon lights, futuristic interiors, and grills firing at every table. The Ferris wheel platters are a must and instantly set the tone, bringing out premium meats in the most eye-catching way. Enjoy unlimited Wagyu, sukiyaki hotpot, sushi, sashimi, and a wide selection of ready-to-eat favorites, all while immersed in the full cosmic dining experience. Don't miss their signature drinks, complete with dramatic fire and smoke for the full effect. Perfect for date nights, birthdays, or any special night out. AYCE tiers start from $49. I did the $69 for the unlimited American wagyu, but it's totally worth the price with all the premium meats and variety. Follow me @foodie.elite on IG and Tiktok for more great finds!

    Jamie and Amanda are great servers and the service was consistent and very helpful. The interior is pretty dope. As expected, space themed and modern. The music is good and varied so something for everyone. Now for the only reason you care; the food. It is fantastic. The meats are fresh, there are plenty of options, drinks are surprisingly refreshing and you can get quite the show for the right price. Will definitely be back!

    Decent Experience, But Nothing Special!! Tried Y Barbecue in Flushing recently. The food was OK..decent flavor, but nothing that really stood out. One thing I noticed was the lack of variety in dips and sauces; they only had two options, which felt a bit limited for a barbecue spot. Presentation was nice, and the place itself is clean, which I appreciated. The servers were attentive and friendly, so service gets a thumbs up. Overall, it's a solid spot, but not something I'd go out of my way for.

    Fragrant Beef Bone Soup
    Shana T.

    I went with a friend and we decided to try the B set, which came with some USA Wagyu. Overall, the food was pretty good -- definitely enjoyable, though it did take a little longer than I expected to arrive. Just a heads-up, drinks and desserts aren't included in the set, so plan on ordering those separately if you want them. There's a good range of options on the menu, so it's nice to have choices whether you're feeling something light or more filling. The vibe was chill, and the staff were friendly, which made the wait easier to handle. All in all, I'd come back again to try some other dishes and maybe pace myself a bit better. If you're into variety and decent food, this spot is worth a visit!

    1 small grill for 8 people
    Zachary C.

    This place only has 5 star reviews on GOOGLE bc you get a free soft drink... Honestly, for $69 + tax and tip ($98), it is not worth it. I had a party of 8 and we had a single small grill. Service although slow, was fantastic. We had to cook our own meats, and most of the time the grill was burnt and took them a while to change it. Meats were really fatty, and we left after 90 minutes still feeling hungry.

Food (4/5): For 6 of us (4F & 2M), we ordered just the right amount of food: Meat Lover's Stair Combo, Beef combo, veggie platter, 2 rice. I'd say that all of the meat was super tender but nothing stood out too much. None of the meat was marinated except for 1 meat in the stair combo that turned out to be everyone's favorite. For all that food it was about $40/pp. A free small cup of Hershey's vanilla ice cream at the end of the meal. Overall, had a great time and good food!

We walked into a modern interior with a lively atmosphere, the kind of space that works well for groups or special occasions. The dining room had a polished, energetic feel with the grills built into each table and the staff moving efficiently between stations. Unlike most AYCE barbecue spots, the focus here is on higher quality cuts of beef, and the staff regularly came by to help grill the meat, making the experience feel more polished than a typical buffet. The wagyu is the main reason to visit. We ordered a selection and found the meat well marbled, tender, and noticeably better than what you would typically find at standard Korean or Japanese barbecue buffets. Depending on the menu we chose, there was a wide selection of Australian, American, and Japanese wagyu, along with sushi, sashimi, seafood, and other side dishes. Every meal also began with a cheese lobster, which came out rich and creamy, a nice addition before the barbecue started. We appreciated that the portions were generous, so it was better to order gradually instead of trying to sample everything at once, and the variety across the menu gave us room to explore different cuts and preparations. The dessert selection ended up being one of the biggest surprises. Fresh fruit like pineapple and cantaloupe was exceptionally sweet, and the soft serve and other desserts were a refreshing way to finish such a heavy meal. It helped balance out all of the rich meats, making the meal feel more complete instead of ending on another savory course. Service was another standout. The staff frequently checked on the table, replaced grills when needed, and helped cook and cut the meat to ensure everything was prepared properly. Since the restaurant is popular, reservations are a good idea during peak dinner hours, though the experience ran smoothly once we were seated. The team moved through the room with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal kept the flow steady without feeling rushed. Overall, Wagyu Place BBQ is one of the stronger premium AYCE barbecue experiences in Flushing. The quality of the wagyu, attentive service, and wide variety of barbecue, sushi, seafood, and desserts help justify the higher price. It is more expensive than a typical barbecue buffet, but if you are looking for a higher-end all-you-can-eat experience centered around quality wagyu, it is worth considering.
