Eater

Of the all-you-can-eat, YakiniQ takes the cake . It's a no frills-experience in a smoke-filled, raucous room, which really shines during the late night hours. Read more

Sindy Gunawan

It's all-you-can-eat with a 2 hour time limits. They only allow 3 orders at a time, so you have to finish cooking and eating it before making a new order. The food was good and it has k-pop ambience.

Max Brautigam

Get the most for your money by eating very little of the sides and focusing on the meat! Also, make sure not to leave any meat uneaten to avoid a surcharge!

Michael Rebello

Spicy pork belly and boneless short rib are great

Christie Heikkinen

Order makkoli and soju for drinks, and get the more expensive AUCE option - the bulgogi is worth it!

Andrew Brackin

The fire squid is delicious and pretty spicy ! The marinated beef is great and you can keep ordering more plates

Robert (RJ) Yumol

Awesome place for daytime work or reflection. Wifi , quiet , and they have spam musubi for homesick Hawaii-born types.

Helen Zhang

Decent priced spot where large groups can get together for dinner . You will leave smelling like BBQ though

Oksen Baris

Marinated beef , spicy & miso pork belly are good, they know how to marinate well

Linda Yang

AYCE KBBQ ???? get the non-standard meats (tripe !!)

Ugur Kaner

If you are a meat or Korean food fan; this is your place. Come and feast. Just don't get your tummy to explode.

Dust Agent

Stick with the beef brisket , short rib , pork belly , and spicy pork belly . Definitely not a fan of the pork skin . Everything else..yum!!!

Gabriel Acosta

Love this place. Get the miso pork . You won't regret it!

Lucas Gardner

Get the brisket and avoid the octopus (unless you like it REALLY spicy ). :)

Masha Galitskaia

Coffee is not especially good and everything is expensive . But they have books , table games, chess and cool music .

Toon

You must open your mind and try everything.

Fred Stevens-Smith

Mediocre. Service, meat, banchan all super meh. For some reason it's super popular. You'll leave here stinking of bbq , they don't have decent extraction.

The quality has gone down hill ! Most meats are not good. I guess the only thing that is somewhat decent is their galbi . A good place to visit if you're really hungry and low on budget.

Justin Edmund

The steamed egg is great. In terms of meat, Kal-bi is your best bet. The others aren't seasoned nearly as well .

Sarah Judd Welch

Miso pork belly (you have to specifically ask for miso ), short ribs and beef tongue .

Kian Lavi

???? if only it was all you can drink . meat was delicious though

Diane W.

AYCE Korean BBQ ! Self-serviced grill and they charge you for whatever you don't finish. Not bad for dinner with friends, but not the greatest cuts of meat.

All you can eat !!! ????????????

Jon Chiang

Very good food in general; miso pork belly is really good. Place gets very smoky though.

Linh Nguyen

Japanese crepe has green tea ice cream, red beans, and macha sauce. Delicious! Make sure you add ice cream to any crepe you get. You need to balance out the dry crispy crepe with something creamy - Kelly ????

They allow food & drinks, just no alcohol. One of the few karaoke places I've been that isn't 21 . Lots of fun, a bit expensive though. - Xochitl C
