Customer Reviews
Extremely disappointing experience. We were ignored for a long time after being seated, and trying to get help was a struggle. one staff member just said "okay" and never returned, while another walked right past us. Our main server was rude and dismissive, dropping off drinks without a word and getting our rice order wrong. The miso soup was basically water, and the grill was never changed. When our second round of meat arrived, the grill was so burnt that the meat just picked up black crust, yet the server still asked if we wanted more. The only person who actually tried to help us was a young Caucasian girl on staff. Aside from her, the service was nonexistent and the food quality was poor. We won’t be back.
I’ve been meaning to try this place for a long time, and we finally made it in for a Saturday lunch. I’ve done buffets before, but Korean BBQ is a different story, especially when you’re new to it. And honestly? I really liked it. It’s fun, it’s a little messy, and it feels like you’re cooking with friends even if it’s your first time. We went with the $30.99 AYCE option, plus I grabbed an orange juice for four bucks. Worth it. Our server was genuinely great—attentive without hovering, checked on us often, and made sure we understood how everything worked. That alone already set the tone for the visit. Food-wise, everything felt light and easy to eat. I tried the Hawaiian chicken, the garlic chicken, some beef, and a few other cuts since there were three of us and sharing made it way eas
This was my first time visiting a place like this, and I was honestly blown away. Here’s how it works: they seat you at a table with a grill in the center, turn it on, and then bring out whatever meats you choose from the menu. I recommend ordering no more than one dish per person, since the portions can be pretty big. Here’s what we got: - Angus Beef Brisket - very thin slices, cooks super fast, but not seasoned, so you definitely want to dip it in the sauce. - Spicy Pork Belly - a must for anyone who loves spicy food. Incredibly good! - Spicy Korean Chicken - also great, moderately spicy. The pieces are thick, so you either grill them longer or cut them up first. - Hawaiian Chicken - unusual flavor, large pieces, defintely need to cut them. - Garlic Chicken - we didn’t love this one; c
Just ok. I had been to a couple other Yiu Grill Korean BBQ locations and had a better experience. We ordered the All-You-Can-Eat 'A' menu. Right off the bat, they said they were already out of rice paper and do not offer Daikon radish. The grill looked like a 'Hot Pot' (boiling water) under the grill, so basically it wasn't BBQ it was steamed hot plate. The meat turned out OK, not grilled, but ok. For any Korean BBQ, the service can be tricky. Most places have thier staff running around and all staff cover each other. Here, it took about 8 minutes before someone come over to the front, (where it says wait to be seated), to be put on a waiting list. They said about a 20-minute wait, but it was closer to 40-minutes. The ambiance looked like it was more catered to the Hot Pot, rather than
Amazing place and price. Wish they had the reddish to wrap the meat in. But delicious meats and options and sauces and more. Love it here
