I'm going to be honest, AYCE kbbq are usually not very good as the meat quality is not top tier, but this place IS BUILT DIFFERENT We ordered $43 signature set and honestly it had all the meats we wanted! Also the portions are fantastic and we finished all the meats we ordered without feeling like we needed to scarf it down past the full capacity Beef tongue was my favorite! thinly sliced, delicious and soft. Ask for the lemons on the side so you can dip with lemon and salt and it's literally life changing Galbi and beef belly are also amazing meat options as well. Galbi is well marinated and marbled. Beef belly has the perfect proportion of fat and meat, I actually enjoyed this more than the brisket. (Brisket a bit tough, I would pass on this) They have unique sides you can order as well and I love how they have self service dishes in the fridges and ice cream! The soup we ordered on the side reminded me of clean pho broth, very delicious To end your meal, order the milk bun and eat with the vanilla ice cream! It's a huge restaurant and service is also amazing and very attentive, can't wait to come back with friends

First time at Hungry Cow on a Sunday afternoon at 2:30 pm. I didn't get the name of our server but he wasn't very good or attentive. 4 of us got the signature set cause 2 people didn't want the premium. First thing I noticed was the LA Galbi had a seasoning which later from server is celery salt or seasoning. This throws off the taste of the galbi marinade. I've never been to any kbbq ayce or regular Kbbq that does this. Like other said, the brisket is thick and not much marbling so it is tough and chewy. One friend ordered a New York sour and had to ask multiple times for it. The fire went out twice during meal and one of the girl servers said other table had issues with fire as well. Our server never came to refill waters or check up on us other than asking for last call. All of these factors went into giving a less than 10% tip. The restaurant was only a quarter full as it was after lunch rush. Unfortunately, all these things ended up to not being a good experience /meal. Will not be returning nor recommending to others.

My partner told me about this place, so we had to come here and try. We waited in line for a bit, but I could see why; the meat here was super premium! The hot food-to-order items were spot on, and that steamed egg dish was amazing. The bone marrow was spot on, and I made sure to save some as I wanted to add some to the meat I was BBQing! The place, of course, was smoky from all the cooking, but the robot machines that come to you with your orders were super convenient. Our server was extremely attentive and helped us anytime we had a question or needed a new order; definitely up there on my top 5 AYCE spots!

Kate D was an amazing person gave us great service and very attentive changing our grill and to our questions. Helped us decide what to order and explained everything very clear. The food was great and the restaurant has good vibes. It's only our second time here and we will be always coming back now

Food and meat was good BUT compared to the prices, I have had better. I am usually at Chubby Cattle and the meat quality is much better there in terms of pricing/options ratio. Though in the Bay the wait times are long and Hungry Cow was more in our area. Service was good (not much interaction) and ambiance was good (but again.. Chubby Cattle does it better). If you're looking for something higher-quality than Gen, I'd go here!

We found that the regular menu was much more worth than the premium menu, mainly because the regular items actually seemed more flavorful than the special items (that were just more visually stunning). The bulgogi and regular galbi were the stars of the show for our meal, and we found ourselves ordering more of these items than the special galbi (which needed cutting and were actually less tender) It was important to note however that a lot of our orders (mainly side items) that were ordered through our server did not go through, and it was only after following up a couple of times that we received our items. Some items were out of stock but we were not notified so we were left anticipating items we never received. Especially as this kbbq spot is one of the priciest locations compared to other east bay kbbq places, I would have expected better service and food quality.

Came here tonight with friends for the first time. We walked in and were seated immediately on a Saturday at 5:30pm. Service was fantastic. They were constantly checking on us and everything came quickly. We went with the premium and everything was delicious! Also enjoyed the robot delivering to our table. The host and servers were all really nice to my service dog. Even though everything was fast we had a great time. I also liked the decor and the vibe of the place.

My friend and I came here after a loooong day of moving. At 9PM, we originally went to some place called Chengdu Memories which was PACKED and so we came here which had a shorter wait time. We joined the waitlist from the app and sat in the parking lot, but we barely had to wait, maybe like less than 10mins? As you would imagine, we were famished and wanted to fill ourselves up with an AYCE spot. As we entered the restaurant, I noticed these effects on walls dividing each patron seating that leveraged the smoke from the grills with ember lighting, this created a really awesome flame effect. Upon being seated, the waiter asked us if we wanted to go with the premium menu to which we asked what the difference was - the waiter was very friendly and explained what came with it - what sold it was the bone marrow; the bone marrow came with a slice of bread split into 2 and unfortunately we could only order it once because it was that good. The bread was toasted and each bite was pure perfection. Also, I highly recommend the Lychee Soju pitcher - so good! Towards the end, we were so full that we were questioning if we had enough space for a Melona bar (which btw is also unlimited). I had an amazing time, but one thing that bothered me was that the floors were very slippery which is common for KBBQ spots, but this was a little too much because I was able to glide my chair around haha. Overall, I'd recommend though.

It was my boyfriend and I's first time here, as we just moved to the area! We went to celebrate a special occasion during lunch on a Friday. We were seated in a booth and noticed it didn't really have a vent above it as opposed to the booths against the wall. The seat was also far from the table and there was no way to move it. I had to stand up to cook the meat and lean far over the table to eat, or bring the bowl to my face. Not the best sit down experience personally, but the food made up for it! For the meat, the brisket was delicious! We also tried the beef belly and bulgogi. Ultimately, we liked the brisket the best. I will say, try to avoid the side dishes/appetizers please. Honestly I regret ordering the corn cheese and edamame. The corn cheese tasted honestly more like mayo. And the edamame was overly peppered and super cold. I do not recommend ordering those two at all. I do want to add that our server was amazing for being the only one working. It became super busy and he was honestly trying his best to give every table attention. Our grill caught on fire out of nowhere and he rushed over to handle it for us. We really appreciated him and he apologized for how busy it was... though he really shouldn't have to. If it wasn't for the service, I would've left the review at 3 stars. Would maybe come again in the future is it was maybe with a bigger group of friends. Maybe dinner would have a better experience.

Love this place we went back twice in a week! Meat was tender and flavorful. I recommend getting the marinated version of the meat. We also love the scallops.

I've been wanting to try Hungry Cow ever since it opened and finally got the chance! Came in for lunch on a Monday ($34.40 AYCE lunch menu) and it was practically empty, which was to be expected. There was only 1 server actively working the tables, with a little robot helper. He prepped our table and sat us within a few minutes, and he also took our first round of orders. A wall-mounted tablet was used to order everything else during our meal, with everything coming out on the automatic robot. One thing to note is that there is a 5 minute buffer between orders submitted on the tablet, so make sure you have everything you need before hitting submit or else you will have to wait for a 5 minute cool down. Other than that minor inconvenience, the service was efficient enough. LA Galbi: Probably the best tasting meat on the lunch menu, very meaty which was nice. Pork belly: Also good, no complaints Beef belly: A little too fatty, but decent Beef brisket: These were sliced a bit too thick in my opinion, which caused it to be a little tough to chew. Banchan spread was standard and I honestly was disappointed in some of them, especially the fish cake.

The moment I saw huge slabs of meat and bone marrow being featured on my IG reels, I knew I had to come here. I was just waiting for the right opportunity and the moment came after driving back from Lake Tahoe. Instead of driving straight home, I took a detour without telling the wifey and she wondered where the heck was I going. All I asked her if she was hungry and when she said yes, that's all she needed to know. It was a rainy evening, and told her to join the waiting list as soon as we were in range. As expected, the place is busy so we patiently waited. There's a bar at the entrance so you can get some drinks while you wait. Once we got seated, our friendly server explained everything to us. Of course I wanted a bone marrow so we each got one (limit one per customer). We opted for the premium set ($59) since it offers a wide variety of higher quality meats like Angus, American Wagyu, Lamb, USDA Prime, Pork, Seafood, Chicken and plenty of side options. You know me, I ain't wastin' any space for chicken in an AYCE spot so we ordered almost everything that the server recommended and their more popular dishes. Also got a side of Beef Soup that was hearty, beefy flavor and warmed me up instantly. Their Steamed Egg (Chawanmushi) was also a nice delicate change of pace to help balance the heaviness of the meat, along with some lettuce wrap and ban chan. The Bone Marrow was as advertised - fatty, juicy and rich with bits of charred morsels that was splendid on the mouth. Since I'm Asian, I placed a dollop of spoonful on top of some rice (instead of bread) and it hit the spot. I can understand why they only limit it to one per customer, but it's understandable. As for the rest of the meat options, they definitely were of higher quality and if things aren't cooked to your expectations, you can blame the chef yourself. All kidding aside, this is legit K-BBQ and reasonably priced for the meat options. Don't forget the seafood options as well, as they are on part with the meats. There's plenty of side dishes to help balance everything out, and I suggest you come here hungry with a huge appetite. If there is one critique I would mention is that the tables are set a tad too high. I felt like a little kid reaching for food and grilling the meats. It was a bit an uncomfortable position eating on an elevated table. However, the exhaust fans were sucking out the smoke pretty well so you don't come out smelling like smoked BBQ. I'd definitely go back and it would be a great place for a celebration or a casual dining athmospere. It was a Moooving experience that I'd repeat again.

We came late to eat and celebrate my birthday and had an amazing time. Our server Henry was very attentive and provided the best service and made the night special for us. This is located at Newpark Mall on the 2nd floor. There is plenty of parking in the huge mall lots. Once you walk in you can see all the displays of wines along the wall and the chilled wines at the bar. We ended up getting cocktails to go with our meal but next time we come back we will definitely try the wines. Here's what we ordered for the 3 of us to share: Lobster Pesto Udon (4/5) $42 A nicely not overcooked baked cheesy lobster tail with on top of pesto udon. It was a light taste of pesto and the noodles were had a nice chew. Comes with some mixed greens. Curry pork chop Katsu Don (4/5) $25 Crispy outside and a juicy pork center, and I like that they put your curry sauce one the side so it's not soggy and you can put as much as you'd like on it. Trio skewer (4/5) $12 One of each skewer: Pork belly, chicken, and rib eye steak. Each skewer was tasty but I enjoyed the pork belly the best My friends also got the sashimi (tuna and salmon) and a tuna tartar with fried shrimp chips. I don't eat raw but they said it was fresh and really reasonably priced. We ended the night with a complimentary brownie with a lit candle, ice cream and some fruit! We be back for sure to try all the other amazing dishes and it also looks like they serve brunch foods too on Fridays and weekends. Thank you for making the night fun and memorable.

I wouldn't order it again. + Kimbap (4/5): Solid and made fresh! Good ingredients. These are not very durable though. They would start falling apart at just the touch of them.

It reminds me of Hart of Dixie's, Rammer Jammer Restaurant, where all the locals go to have their beer fix with a meal or two with other locals! Except, its for 21 year olds and up patrons only. We came for their Wednesday night Karaoke and Prime Rib night. Except, we got there a wee bit too early to experience Karaoke but we did enjoy our shared prime rib meal! Although we asked for medium rare, it was more medium well. I ate the medium well sections and my friend ate the medium rare-ish parts. But overall, the meal was very good. We loved the fresh roasted veggies and little potato pops! As for Karaoke, we'll have to experience that some other time. After we ate, we played a game of pool. There's much needed improvements... both tables are wonky. We put in our $2 and only 3 balls came out. So, the staff put $2 into the other pool table and a few more came out. We just combined both ball sets to play and tried our best to memorize which balls belongs to whom. Beware that if you scratch, you will never see that white ball again!! We made the most out of our games and still felt joy. However, it does need to be fixed! I can't say enough about the staff. The lady waitress who served and helped us was so wonderful. She came back several times to check on us and even convinced us to order dessert which we did enjoy! Going to try other theme nights, its that fun there!
