    My husband and I dined on a Saturday evening. Knowing they would probably be busy and do not take reservations for small parties, when we were 10 minutes away I called to ask the wait time. I was quoted 15-20 minutes, but "could be 25-30 once we get there". Okay, no problem, that's a reasonable amount of time. When I checked us in, I was given a 45 minute wait time, okay no problem it is a Saturday night... We waited for an hour and 45 minutes! They were seating large parties (even without reservations) first as a majority of their tables accommodate more people. I understand wanted to get as many people in and eating as possible ($$), but there needs to be some way of seating all sized parties in the order they have been waiting. Once sat, our server got our drink order, explained we would order on the tablet, and that there was a dessert bar. Okay cool. We ordered our items on the tablet and they started coming out quite quickly (nice because there is a 2 hour time limited on the table). Some items are spicy, which led us to realize we didn't have our cocktails. My husband asked the waiter after we were seated for 20 minutes for a water. Didn't get it. He asked again. Still no water. After being sat for 35 minutes without drinks, we spoke to who I would assume was the owner. She was apologetic and got our drinks for us. (She also ended up comping them for us as well). The food itself is high quality, with the meats being good cuts, the rice being good, and a chocolate fountain. We did have some issues with ordering on the tablet and some food items not ever arriving. They deliver the food on carts with the order ticket attached, so I have to assume when they are walking around, the tickets fall off and they don't know you didn't get your item? We did have to find ourselves that the lettuce, jalapeños, kimchi, etc, is also on the dessert bar. Overall, I would give this place another shot. The food was good, the owner tried to make our experience right, and the idea of Japanese BBQ is always fun, it just seems we had an off time with waiting and forgetfulness.

    Aka-oni...more like "Aka oh no" Ventured to to Aka-Oni last night and left disappointed. We called about five minutes ahead of time and asked how long the wait for two was- "uhm 25-30min." Okay, not bad- was wanting to wait less than an hour. Check in to the tablet. Hour goes by. Still waiting. Parties of four and six who arrived after us sat. Hour fifteen passes. Still larger parties that arrived after us sat. One hour and a half passed. Finally a table- only parties of two left. Okay- we were excited to eat here. Sit down- and ready to start to dig in. Server comes after ~5min after sitting down. He explains we order on the menu, and takes our cocktail orders. We order on the tablet, and food slowly starts to show up. We start some meat on the grill. Meats grilled. Chicken fried rice comes. Eat it. ~30 minutes go by. No waiter, no cocktails. Five minutes later. See the waiter- still not cocktails. Ask for some waters to tide us over. Five more minutes. He brings waters to other tables. Still no drinks, half of our food gone. I finally ask to speak to a manager. The manager- great. She remedies it by grabbing us waters, bringing us our cocktails, and discounts our meals and free drinks. She checks in on us throughout our meal to make sure we are doing well, which we appreciated. We start seeing people walking around with lettuce, Japanease mayo, and kimchi. Lo and behold, there is a cold section that our server didn't tell us about, but after seeing our server greet other tables, clearly points it out to other parties. The food was actually really good, which is disappointing the service was awful. The meats were quality, and all were seasoned or marinated well. The prepared appetizers all came out warm and were a nice addition. We didn't end up receiving our sesame seed fries- but not really surprised by the service we received. If we are in the area, we may be back. Most likely not, as the service was atrocious.

    Went in for their soft opening! They didn't have all the sauces and the shrimp fried rice but everything on the menu was pretty much available. Japanese barbecue is seasoned just right, and I feel like I can eat without rice. Meat cuts were good. Variety on sauce is kinda limited compared to Japanese BBQ franchises I've been to. This place mainly had: Sweet soy, Spicy, and Salt and pepper but the meat quality makes up for it! I mainly like the short rib (especially my mom), sweet soy and salt/pepper beef tongue. Their spicy seasoning was a little bland for me. Personally didn't care for their ice cream but the container is cute

    Very nice restaurant, went kinda late so felt little rushed. But food was great and server helped and explained things well. Its all you can eat. So come with appetite and time to enjoy. Only down side if you aren't sure how to grill or times for each meat to cook. It can get kinda intimidating.. over all great time and experience. (Cute they still had valentine day decor up)

    Would not recommend the brisket or knuckle ribs

    It's Korean BBQ without the hot pot, there I said it. Beautiful remodeling was done to this building to make it a nice tabletop BBQ place. It was not loud or smokey which was a bonus. Party of 2 and we got right in on a Tuesday night. Our server gave us a quick breakdown of how to order and she told us what they were out of and then left us to it. The salad /topping bar was very limited, but it had good kimchi and some fresh fruit. The first round of meat was only 2 pieces on a plate so not too intimidating. They mentioned to us that what you don't eat you get charged extra for so we didn't want to waste food. But our second order of meat was 7 or 8 pieces on the plate, which was harder to eat. The meat was all very interesting cuts of fatty meat that you have to be comfortable eating. We don't feel like we got our money's worth when the meat was not to our taste, but the environment was fun and the staff was very friendly.

    The table for 6 of us was a tight fit. AYCE is nice especially with the many options, lots of rice in the bowls. The tempura shrimp was lackluster. The lime sauce was delicious! I think I have to go again with less people to really enjoy what's offered versus rush cooking food. The ventilation system was great too. The matcha ice cream was good, I wish it wasn't dyed this bright green color

    ALWAYS 5 stars! We've been 3 times in a month-ish! We live a little south but this place is not only a deal for their excellent, extensive choices but amazing service as well! The owner is always onsite and has a very warming story about the creation of this restaurant. It truly is amazing. You receive a tablet and scroll through selecting your choices which go straight back to the kitchen. They come to your table with your fresh appetizers, fresh veggies and very fresh meats and from there you're set to grill your heart out. If you choose to you're also able to ask for a fresh grill after cooking each meat too! It's promptly exchanged which is what we do between chicken, meat or seafood . It's a great place for small or large parties! You can't make a better decision than trying this place out and making it a regular spot to have an excellent, affordable meal, romantic dinner or celebration! Make sure you save room for fruits, a chocolate fountain, cookies and most importantly .... S'mores! Excellent touch!

    My husband and I went here for a late lunch/early dinner. We came in the door and no one was up front but the sign said wait to be seated so we waited a few and someone did come up to seat us. It was not busy in the late afternoon. It was our first time there and our waiter asked if we had been there before and I said no but we had been to a Korean BBQ before and he said it was pretty much the same. I still think we could have used a little more explanation but we mustered through. Looking at the iPad ordering there really were not enough meat options. We also did not notice the designation of "Rice and Noodles" above a couple of selections we made and we ended up with bowls of rice with a bit of meat on top and we did not want the rice at all. They also do not have a full bar there so they had some beer options and sake cocktails and I ordered a sake cocktail. Sake cocktail was ok but not great. You have a 2 hour time limit to eat of which 1.5 hours you can order items. I did not care for the price for what we got. I prefer the Korean BBQ near there, it is the only thing I have to compare to the meal we had here. The favorite thing I had here for me was the hanger steak. The favorite for my hubby was the dumplings. I ordered miso soup and salad and was shocked and sad the salad came with ranch on it, I fully expected ginger dressing and was looking so forward to it. I ate it but I do not care for ranch much at all. I looked at the bar they have setup for dessert and none of it I was really interested in. they had some s'mores ingredients to go with the chocolate fountain and some fruit and also had an ice cream machine which someone had said was not good so I did not venture there. We were full when we left so it was not all a loss but going back is not in our future.

    I was so excited to try this place, and I wasn't disappointed! They just opened, so they had a discount, which was really nice. We got seated right away, and the decorations were really nice. The meats are great quality, but you only get a few small pieces with each order, so I highly recommend ordering multiples of each meat. It took awhile to get food, but our server, Jacky, was good at checking in with us and making sure our food was eventually delivered. I love that there's lots of appetizer, noodle, and rice dishes in addition to the meats. Don't forget to try the ice cream and make s'mores!

    Hubby, son, and I tried this new Japanese BBQ spot right after TG and it was everything and more. We were seated immediatel! 1st off, I thought "Nice Place"! 2nd thought "Big table and roomy for all of the food we will be ordering". Our server was really nice and explained everything because every BBQ spot is not the same process when ordering. They had a really nice menu and it was all you can eat for $35....Kids were $17.50. At first BBQ spots were not my thing, but I'm quickly getting into them as they allow me to try a variety of appetizers, meats, veggies, seafood, and desserts without breaking the bank. As I stated, our server was so helpful and even helped cook a bit. She made recommendations and always checked to make sure we got everything that we ordered. Everything was of excellent quality. I miss a lot of pics as I waa busy eating and by the time I remembered a pic, it was one and done Some of my faves.....Fried Dumplings, Garden Salad, Shrimp and the Chicken Fried Rice, Short Ribs were bomb, Beef Finger Rib, Salt & Pepper ChunkEye, and Salt & Pepper Pork Belly. Hubby and son also tried the Salt & Pepper Beef Tongue and they Looooovvvvveeedddd it! Welp to each his own. Oh, I cannot forget to shout out the must tries....Marinaded Chicken Wings, Garlic Butter Shrimp, Zucchini, and the Garlic Butter Clams. It was worth every penny!!! Don't walk....run to this spot!!!!

However, today we noticed a decline in food quality, and the service was egregiously poor. We told the waiter that we would like three pieces of each type of sashimi, as there were three of us--which is exactly how we had ordered on previous visits with the same party size. Instead, the waiter brought us three full orders of each type of sashimi. When we tried to discuss the order quantity with the waiter, a woman who was slicing fish suddenly rushed over and began accusing us of ordering incorrectly. She claimed their restaurant never serves sashimi as three pieces per order and questioned whether we had ever been there before, accusing us of just trying to get free food. She even threatened that if we didn't take the food, they wouldn't serve us anything else. We felt insulted and threatened. We even found some of our past credit card records from this restaurant to prove our point, but she refused to offer a sincere apology. When we later asked to speak with the manager, we discovered that this woman was, in fact, the manager. Eventually, the owner apologized to us and offered to comp our meal, but we declined and paid in full. We will likely never return. In my opinion, this woman is completely unfit to hold a managerial position, as she actively instigates conflicts.

They also have little delivery cars and robot servers that bring food to the table. It never felt too loud or chaotic either. I would definitely come back again, especially with a group.

They are located in Castleton on E 82nd, tucked behind another big Asian restaurant, so don't let it get overlooked! We went for lunch, which is a $25 all you can eat bbq and hot pot. I chose the mushroom broth and my friend got the chicken broth - there are about 8 from which to choose. You order certain meats/proteins with the server and then the rest is "salad bar style" to choose sauces, noodles, other proteins, vegetable and more to either cook on the grill or in your broth. My mushroom broth was really flavorful, and there are plenty of options. Some of my favorites today were quail eggs, lotus root, lobster rolls, dumplings, shrimp & scallops. There were also a few dessert options (some ice cream and cold jello-type of items) but we were too stuffed to try them. The soups is served in a very generous portion - I'm guessing at least a quart of broth, and at the end, our server did tell us that you can request to be served less. If it appears you are wasting food, or want to take any home, that is charged at $12.99 per pound. #yum #ReviewsByRL

We went with the spicy beef bulgogi, sirloin, ribeye, spicy five spice chicken, and garlic chicken. The meats were fresh, well marinated, and the ribeye disappeared embarrassingly fast. For the hot pot, we built a spicy broth loaded with udon noodles, lobster balls, fish balls, crab stick, bean sprouts, lotus root, corn, bell peppers, spinach, cilantro, enoki mushrooms, and carrots. The broth just kept getting better as everything cooked together, so don't judge it by the first few bites. One thing that really stood out was the service. They stayed on top of the grill, replacing it when it got too charred and oiling it without us having to ask. The hot pot bar was also impressively stocked, and I never felt like the popular ingredients had been picked over. The ambiance was upbeat without feeling chaotic, and the whole experience was one notch up from just going out to dinner. My only piece of advice is to dress in layers. Between the tabletop grill and a bubbling pot of broth, you'll be questioning every life decision that involved wearing a sweater. Overall, this is the kind of place that's worth bringing friends who like food and don't mind leaving smelling faintly of barbecue. Honestly, that's part of the experience. I can't wait to come back!
