I always wanted to try this spot but wasn't please of how far the original one was at. Glad to hear they opened up a spot that was somewhat closer. For some people who may not know this is a "Japanese" BBQ & Shabu Shabu. For some of you that may not know what Shabu Shabu. Basically, you get to cook variety of meats and vegetables in a pot of broth, and you can create your own dipping sauce for additional flavors. First off... I'm sorry I don't really see any "Japanese" influences in their selection of foods. Definitely more so on their Korean, Chinese more so. But that's just my opinion. These days BBQ & Hot Pot is the new rave. It's a thriving all you can eat kind of business. Only difference is who has better selections? If I say Commack vs Flushing. Flushing wins hands down all the time. BUT! For where they are no real competitors, I'd say they have a fair selection of choices. Service was spectacular, food was fresh, sauces were your typical selections depending on how you like it and free little ice creams at the end of it all! Overall, it's enjoyable if you like to cook with friends. Definitely a group hangout kind of spot. I would suggest coming a little earlier to beat the rush! read more

Good food! We were a bit confused with the menu and how to choose what to get. In simple terms they have two ways to eat. Either you cook your food in the pot or grill. Let me clearly say you cook your food YOURSELF which was very confusing. Food was good but I didn't like cooking it my self. lol Restaurant is decorated nicely and had good ambience. read more

Great food and experience! I didn't know this place existed in Commack: I would usually go to Flushing or further west for a hotpot/KBBQ meal. The inside was painted a bright yellow and the wallpaper decor was pretty cool. Our waiter was friendly, but a little too "in your face" with his hospitality that it got a bit overwhelming at times. We opted for the hotpot/shabu shabu version. I got the original soup base and my friend got the spicy one. The original came with a piece of corn, green onion, and some tomato. Once we got the broth, the soup was barely even filled half way, which was really odd. The sauce bar station was pretty small and not too varied, but they had the essentials which is fine. We ordered a bunch of meat and veggies, but my favorite would be the beef belly and the flounder fish filet. Both were fresh and tender. I didn't like the beef brisket as much since it was very chewy. They give you pretty decent portions for one order: most places usually don't give a lot since it's "all you can eat", but this place wasn't too skimpy. I was truly stuffed by the end of the meal, but you can't leave without some complimentary ice cream. Overall, if I'm craving hot pot or KBBQ and don't want to drive too far, this will do! read more

Lia our server was so attentive and helpful. She answered any questions and made sure we always had a clean grill. She even helped us cook our food! The food and service is outstanding. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant and specifically the Commack location. Just remember to bring your appetite!! So much fun! read more

Stopped in here on Halloween, and was pleasantly surprised - the food here was better than I even expected! The atmosphere is warm, open, and bright, with a hint of urban/industrial decor. Our server was soooo sweet and kind. One feature I love is that they have a sauce bar, and you can help yourself to as much sauce and as many different kinds as you want. There are also other things at the sauce bar such as jalapeños, fruit, scallions, peanuts, etc. my personal favorite was mixing peanut sauce with homemade hot pot sauce and putting it on top of udon noodles. We got the Kimchi Hot Pot, and I loved it. With hot pot, you get 5 toppings/meat/etc at a time per person. It felt like a buffet feast ! You also get to choose ice cream on your way out to bring home- I chose chocolate. I highly recommend JBBQ- and will be coming back ! read more

JBBQ & Shabu Shabu - Japanese Near Me - Commack, New York

This experience was awful, expensive, unsatisfying. The meal timing was non existent, they brought literally over 50 plates of raw food to our small table, and left. No help, no explanations. I could go on but this isn't worth any more of my time or yours Unlike any Asian bbq experience I've ever had, would not even give it another try. Yikes. read more

Great take out food! The uber eat deal is amazing and the quality of food is good. Chicken fried rice and chicken teriyaki was delicious.

Average experience . Food is ok and nothing great . Enjoyed with friends and family . Must. Visit one time.

My wife and I decided to stop by this new location after their soft opening on Friday for our anniversary. We've been to their bayshore location and as always the quality of food is amazing. We basked in the greatness and didn't take any pictures lol but rest assured you won't be disappointed. Location was very clean and the music was good which we enjoyed very much. Special shout-out to Alan for the great service, super cool and funny guy. Will be back for sure! read more

Not for me. I'd like to try something to be different now and then, but this was just a little too much for me. I'd rather have my food cooked for me. This was our first time and I think things would've taste a lot better had we knew what we were doing read more

Great time, we selected both options, had a few drinks and it was a blast. There's definitely plenty of time to east as much as you like and then some. Quality is very good, we opted for 2 chicken options, 2 steak options some seafood and plenty of veggies. Everything comes out quickly and the wait staff is so accommodating. Definitely a must try. read more

I can't get enough of this place, somewhere fun and interactive and different from your everyday meal with friends, family or date night! It's a vibe here and the service is pretty quick, I'm ready to get my grub on! Lol read more

I love this place. I've been to the Bay Shore location before but this was my first time visiting the Commack location. Our server, Amanda, was great she had many helpful tips and great recommendations. Food was awesome and experience is like no other. Love what they do for celebrating peoples birthdays! read more

We went for a family dinner...we chose the BBQ option for everyone....and it was very disappointing. If you are expecting KBBQ with an option of hotpot it kinda is but the essence is missing. It was utterly confusing as there was elements of what K BBQ is but so lacking...I was unable to understand what the goal of it was. The pork belly came out frozen and gamey tasting and chewy when cooked...the marinated ribeye was not actually rib eye meat and tough when cooked...the marinated bone in ribs was bland and fatty. All these meats are the stars of a KBBQ but the quality was not there.....other elements of side dishes...dips and stews were missing. Rice was also not the proper rice. I say this because the name gives the wrong impression as to what to expect. I guess I'm just disappointed that it was not anywhere authentic as it could be. Maybe the hot pot is better but I don't think we will be back read more

The food was so delicious. Our server was great on giving us recommendations since it was our first time there. My shirt got dirty but it was so worth it. The sauces were great. They even have the ingredients go together in the self serve table. I will def come again with whole family. I finally found a hot pot. Don't need to go to flushing queens anymore. $40 for all you can eat. Is not so bad. read more

We celebrated our party in this restaurant last weekend and everyone had a great time. Along with being delicious, the food and drinks were also excellently served, getting the best off with the barbecue and hot pot combo is the best value, it really was delicious, you just had to choose, cook, and taste. I tried meat, seafood and you can make your own sauce with a lot of choices from their sauce bar. A must come place!! read more

I eat a gluten free vegan diet and this restaurant has a lot of options! Let them know you need oil and not butter to cook your food!

Jbbq is an 5 stars restaurant and I have an excellent time going . The staff are so kind and friendly. The management treat guest like family . I recently dined at this location , and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was delicious, with high-quality meat that truly stood out. The variety of soup bases offered was fantastic, and there were so many options for ingredients to cook in the hot pot or grill. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would highly recommend this place to all my friends. It truly outstanding experience and I will be back real soon. read more

I ordered some dim sum from here and they were water-logged and a couple of them were inedible. The meal I ordered had no visible seasoning on it and was very bland. Not sure if I am coming back to this place. read more

I have come in here for dinner with my boyfriend, family, and friends quite a few times. The food is good and the concept is fun, however, the ONLY times we get good service is when we have Amanda. She is so sweet, very attentive, and has such a friendly personality. We have a much better experience when shes our server, she takes good care of us. Next time you come into JBBQ, ask for Amanda!! read more

I went here yesterday and i was alittle disappointed. We went for lunch for the first time. The meat slicer wasnt working for the first 20 mins we were there. I understood it wasnt anyones fault. Our waiter on the other had forgot a bunch of our food. It was alittle annoying having to remind him. Not sure it was a off day but we go here all the time. The lunch special is definitely worth it. read more

Went for the all you can eat hot pot. So delicious! Vegetables were fresh. The dried bean curd rolls were my favorite. 10/10 would come again. read more
