YakiniQ Korean BBQ

Such a mixed experience at this place, had to wait 2 hours for our table even though on the reservation app, it said our table was ready (and we called and the restaurant confirmed that it was ready, but when we arrived it wasn't and hence the 2hr wait). The food was pretty good but also expensive and it was super loud and crowded in there. Had to get our waiter's attention several times, not sure I would go back, as it's just not worth it.

The price is pretty high at $45 before tax and tip for the premium option. Almost twice what it was about 3-4 years ago (looking at older reviews). As others pointed out, it gets really smokey. It also can be fairly loud. The food was decent but not worth the price. The worst part was that the service was SLOW. We ordered our meat pretty much right when we sat down and didn’t receive it until about 15-20 minutes later. At another point, we ran out of meat and had nothing cooking on the grill, but no server came to help us for about 10 minutes and I had to get up and find a server. The server seemed pretty upset and rude we were asking for more food at an All You Can Eat place. We also ordered a beer that didn’t come for about 20 minutes and when we asked for it again, they didn’t believe us and tried to charge us for another beer. We were ultimately able to clear it up, but it felt odd that we were being so heavily interrogated for a $14 beer and had to go back up and ask them to remove it. I was at this establishment for 2 hours and left still hungry which is crazy for an All You Can Eat place. I actually went home and ate a meal.

I was hoping to try their food the other day, only to be turned away because I was by myself. Dining alone is a choice that should be respected, not a reason for exclusion. This experience made me feel unwelcome and diminished, as if my patronage mattered less. I hope you reevaluates its approach to ensure everyone feels valued, regardless of how many people they bring to the table. Singles are people too!!

J was a super great server!

Confusing menu, confusing service, low quality meats, cheap tho, but really long wait, not worth the long wait honestly, I have had way better

Amazing food and service !

Vegetarian options: lettuce

Very kind workers and nice setups, really enjoy going there! I constantly eat the kimchi! Only problem is, the smoke/burning and how we smell afterwards but i recommend going here for kbbq! Excellent service!

very fresh meat and banchan. we really enjoyed the premium ayce option ($40pp). service was great. we went for sunday dinner at around 6:30pm and the wait wasn’t too long (~15 minutes). definitely beats the Daeho lines :-) my only complaint is that there are no vents at the tables, so we definitely left reeking of meat and garlic. 그리고 한국어로 대하지 못하는것 같아요.. 참고하세요
