    The meat quality didn't really blow me away. It just seemed to be very standard. I do like how they cook the meat for you, though. That made the experience a little easier. I do wish they had the standard Korean barbecue sauce. I felt like that was missing and would have made the experience much better. The service overall was good, and the ambiance is what you'd expect out of your classic Korean barbecue restaurant. I just wish the meat quality was a little better considering the price of around $50 per person.

    A much smaller AYCE Korean bbq spot, but with parking in the back. I like the different options and sides it offers such a japchae, duck, and pork jowl. There are different soups, steam eggs, and sides options as well. I enjoyed the pork jowl, and bulgog the most. As for the steak and duck, they weren't as good as I would hope. Everything pairs well with their radish, kimchi and salad, but I wish they would refill without asking or give larger portions. The service wasn't the most attentive as I constantly have to ask for banchans to be refilled. Also, I didn't think I smelled too bad coming out the restaurant.

    AYCE spot next to HMart (RIP) it's around $43 pp and the portions of meat are HUGE. We ordered a bunch of sides as well and could only manage one round. You get 1.5 hours to order and there is a left over fee. The waiter was super nice and responsive even during the dinner rush. Would recommend coming here with a large group!

    Awesome AYCE Korean BBQ spot! The meat is fresh and high quality, and the service is always great. One of the best parts is that the staff cooks the meat for you so no need to assign someone as the grill master! I love coming here, and the steamed egg is a personal favorite, so soft, fluffy, and comforting (I usually get two for myself). While I usually enjoy Korean soups, I found the tofu and kimchi soups here a bit underwhelming, but honestly, everything else more than makes up for it. Overall, it's a solid go-to for AYCE KBBQ in Queens!

    Beautiful looking lettuce :)

    Overall: Would recommend depending on the time of day. They serve you, so I would recommend coming at a time with less people since there are mixed reviews about service during peak hours, but this time their service was AWESOME (best service I've ever had at a restaurant). Everything 5/5, I would come back. Came here with my partner around 1PM on a Saturday for AYCE KBBQ at $43 per adult. Unlike other KBBQ joints, the servers cook for you here. Sorry, not as many pictures as I had hoped for because I got lost in the eating... lol. Ambience: On the outside, store was inconspicuous but on the inside there was quiet K-pop music, lighting was warm/soft, and there were not many people. Food: Sides and appetizers were unlimited. The julienne pickled radish and carrots were amazing. The GF loves cheese steamed egg but I don't eat dairy. I recommend the addicting fried rice cake. There were some dull lettuce leaves but most were vibrant appearing, everything was clean. For meats, we tried to go down the list for beef cuts but got too before we could try everything. We ordered - Thin cut brisket: My favorite cut especially to start with. Thin so it cooks fast, tender, not too fatty. Not marinated so goes well with salt and pepper. - Hanger steak: Not marinated but simple, classic, and great with salt and pepper. Some pieces were tougher than others. - Finger meat: Not a fan, maybe the tendons in the meat made it tough to chew and hard to eat with the lettuce wrap. - Soy marinated short rib: Good. Light sweet marinade that wasn't overpowering and retained the meaty flavor. - Soy marinated beef bulgogi: Decent. Would say the bulgogi definitely absorbed too much sauce and a little on the saltier side which kind of overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. Service: AMAZING, best service I've ever received at a restaurant. The server clearly took pride in his work. Recommended to us where to sit to not get splashed by oils from the grill. He anticipated all of our needs. He saw I was getting garlic out of my GF's plate and brought me a separate massive plate of garlic (I am a glutton). Gave us refills of appetizers and lettuce before we even ran out. Cooked everything for us and was attentive throughout the whole experience.

    The food quality and for the price of all you can eat (~$40 pp) is very good! We ordered brisket, short rib, and bulgogi. I will say that the short rib was our favorite and I didn't care for the bulgogi. Our side dishes were also really good-- steamed egg, spicy rice cakes tots. I would not recommend the spicy mixed noodles (bibimbuksu) though. The server was a bit abrupt, but it was fine. Overall, a great experience!

    We went around 3 PM and it wasn't too packed, so we got seated immediately. After being situated, we ordered a couple appetizers and they came out quick. Same goes with the meats, they were really quick with everything. I like how they grill it for you. Our server was amazing. He refilled our sauces, got more lettuce, and water when he noticed we were running low. He even got us cream for burns when he noticed that we burned ourselves accidentally. I wish they had more side dishes, but I'm happy with what they had cause they were delicious. Overall, fantastic service and enjoyed the food!

    Their food and service really pleased us! The menu kept refreshing with exciting new options that delighted our taste buds, making the meal even more enjoyable. Plus, there was plenty of parking available, which is such a big help, especially when you're in a rush.

    I really enjoyed this place, the customer service in this place is phenomenal. We didn't make reservations but we were seated super quick. The place is spacious and great for an intimate dinner or a group of people. The tables are nicely set up and they look very clean. Each table is already set up with all the condiments and spices needed for your meal as well as jars of water with cups . This is an all you can eat place, however, they time your order right so that you can continuously eat without wasting any food which I thought was great! They have one menu at each table and it's super easy to navigate and order. The food came out faster than expected and it was delish! Depending what you order, some meat is seasoned and some is not but all so good! We had a couple of different servers whom kept checking up on us, making sure we had all we needed, kudos for that! The place is a little pricey but it's an all you can eat so you can easily make up for the cost by eating as much as your heart desires and MORE! we walked out of there super stuffed and happy, I will deff be coming back and I highly recommend!

    Arrived on a Friday afternoon at 1:00pm and there was nobody so we were seated right away. AYCE lunch for$24.99. The staff also do all the grilling. Kpop music videos were being played on the TV screens so a plus for kpop fans lol Tried the thin cut brisket, thin cut pork belly, pork belly, soy marinated bulgogi, beef belly, and pork rib. All meats were tender and great. The marination was a bit too heavy for my friend and I. Also, upon reading the previous reviews regarding portions, I had asked them to give us half the portion size so that we can get various types of meat which was good because we didn't want to over order and waste. Liked the three options of sauces we got which were mixed salt, samjang, and a miso sauce? The ban chan was a bit lacking though with just kimchi, pickled radish, pickled fish cake with onions and pepper. Wish I had the stomach to try other things!

    I betrayed 02 bbq and came here on a friends request. Good place. Didn't like the music. Stay was attentive and they actually helped us with the Korean barbecue. Most places don't help you cutting and cook, but they did which was very nice. Menu was really good, large portions. What makes this place unique as they have a very nice all you can eat appetizers and appetizers are pretty awesome. Also the brown sauce , must try. No complaints all good definitely come here . A lot of parking it's next to a very nice café. Superrr

    Marinated beef short ribs.
    Hanna B.

    Service was fast and the employees there were polite. The restaurant was playing good upbeat music. The sides were pretty good. We had eggs, cold noodles, and bbq boneless chicken. The marinated short ribs had good flavor but the meat was tough and chewy. The brisket was good but there was so many fatty pieces. I also had the thin sliced pork belly and that was ok but we also got very full and had to stop eating. All in all, it was a good ayce experience with good service.

    Hey guys is it halal ? Because it does pop up as a halal restaurant here . Just wanna let you guys know.

    I doubt it. I never saw any designation there saying that they were.

    Is this place good for a larger group up people?

    Yes, but call the restaurant to make sure they can accommodate you because it does get busy

    Is this place halal, if not could you tell Yelp to remove you from the halal list, it's misleading?

    Hi Raisa Thanks for letting us know that we pop up on yelp's halal list. After checking our settings, it shows our halal highlight has not been turned off. Could you let us know where you found halal option on our page? Thank you

    Now that a lot of the mandates are lifted, do we still need vaccination cards to eat here? Are they required if we sit outside?

    For any outside dining, vaccination cards were not required. For Indoor each place can still choose to check but most places do not require now that they canceled the Key to NYC mandates. *** Right now Meat Me is temp closed due to a gas line issue.… Read more

    Hi, my partner and I will have both doses by the time we are visiting, but it won't have been the full 14 days by then. Can we still eat here?

    Yes

    Are reservations required?

    No. They accept walk-ins like most other places. On prime days and times you may have to wait for a table as things are getting busier.… Read more

    Are you open?

    As I answer you today in May 2021, yes, Meat Me BBQ is open for both indoor and outdoor dining. Hope that helps.

    Do they grill the meat for you in the indoor seating?

    There is currently no indoor dining as they use all the indoor cooking space to grill the meat for the outdoor diners.

    Are all of the meats cooked on one station, or are there separate stations for different kinds of meat?

    We have two grill stations inside because different cuts of meat require different heat settings and surface material. The open flame grill and the cast iron lid (traditional material used to cook Korean BBQ) is switched out and cleaned with each… Read more

    Overall 4.5/5: First time going to a dedicated skewer restaurant. It was a cool experience and…read moreenjoyed it, despite the music being too loud for my liking. There was a lot of energy in the place. The wait staff were friendly. Food was great but was pricey per skewer. Food 5/5: Delicious and tasted close to skewer cart (this is a win!). Would have loved to try more things but some skewers were up to $3 each so it got pricey fast. They did have a large selection of skewers to choose from. You get a wrist band with a QR code that tracks what skewers you order. Non-skewer items could be ordered using your phone. Everything was fresh. They had house-made spice and sauce packets at each table. Every table had a cheat sheet showing how long to barbecue each type of skewer. We tried the bbq scallops which were full of garlicky goodness and cold noodles which was a refreshing balance to the heat of the grill. Service 5/5: Friendly waiter. Gave us the run down on how things worked in the restaurant. Periodically checked in on us. No complaints. Ambiance 4/5: Prefacing that the high energy environment was not really my cup of tea but I know others may prefer it. Bright flashing lights and loud music playing over speakers drowned out conversation. That said, the tables were spaced well so every party had their own personal space and restaurant was clean.

The machine kept jamming, and with only two servers on the floor from what I saw, they were constantly running back and forth to troubleshoot it on top of everything else they were already managing. As for the food, I felt it was overpriced for what you get. The place was so busy that there really wasn't much guidance or explanation. We had to ask twice just to understand how the raffle system worked, and there was also a small rack grill next to the skewer grill that no one explained, so we were left confused about its purpose. If you're going for the atmosphere, to hang out, chat, have a few beers, and snack, then sure, it works. But "snacks" is really the right word here because that's exactly how the skewers felt. The portions were small and expensive, and I honestly don't think two people could leave full without spending close to $100. I've been to places with larger selections and better value. (We bought a corn dog and pan fried dumplings after we left) That said, the raffle itself was a fun touch. My husband won a small stuffed capybara, which was cute. But when I played, I ended up waiting a long time because people ahead of me had 50 skewers' worth of raffle entries, and with the machine constantly jamming, the process dragged.

We decided on the Mixed Combo B for 2, which comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, brisket, and marinated short ribs. All of the meats are really good. I'm not the biggest fan of pork shoulder, but this was good here! Kimchi stew always hits different at BBQ spots, and Golden Pig's is delicious. We ordered an extra to go! They don't have a takeout menu yet, but the staff was kind enough to pack us some kimchi and rice anyway. Banchan here is simple but done really well. All orders are put in on the tablet at each table. While the layout of the restaurant is still very much similar to Jeong Yook and Baekjeong previously, it's definitely an upgrade. Ventilatation is pretty good but be prepared to still smell a bit after. Prices are super reasonable. Parking is doable but not always the easiest. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    This was my third time back, and I still think this is the best option around if you're looking to…read moreindulge in quality meat. We went on a quiet Friday afternoon. There were several occupied tables, but we still received plenty of attention from the servers throughout the meal. I've tried a few similar places, and this one continues to stand out. The meat portions are generous, and they can handle high heat well enough to develop a great sear. One major change since my previous visits is the appetizer selection. The menu has shifted heavily toward sushi and sashimi offerings. If you're someone like me who enjoys both premium cuts of meat and fresh sashimi, this is pretty much the ideal combination. They now offer many more specialty rolls than before, and the quality of the salmon and tuna also seemed noticeably better. My husband, however, would disagree. Since he doesn't really care for sashimi and prefers not to fill up on rolls, he would have liked to see a stronger selection of traditional appetizers and sides. Another welcome change is that lobster is now unlimited instead of being restricted to a single serving. The lobsters themselves are smaller, which I didn't mind, but both the cheese lobster and the garlic butter lobster were incredibly salty. I'm not sure if it was the seasoning or the type of lobster being used, but the garlic butter version was "clog-my-arteries" salty. I mentioned it to the kitchen simply as feedback, although I wasn't planning on ordering any more regardless. The only items limited to one order per person were the Kumamoto oysters topped with uni and caviar, the sweet shrimp with caviar, and one other premium item that I can't quite remember. Everything else was unlimited, including their new sauce station and ice cream machine. I especially appreciated the expanded sauce selection. On my previous visits, they only offered their Asian spice blend, which is still my favorite. But when I saw they had A1 sauce available, I had to do it--I dipped the A5 in A1. I can't believe they offered it, but once I saw it there, it felt like a rite of passage. One disappointment was that they had run out of foie gras. I had my cash ready and everything. If you pay cash, you receive complimentary foie gras with the Wagyu and uni, so I was definitely looking forward to it. To their credit, they offered us a premium abalone appetizer as a substitute, but I politely declined and opted to pay by credit card instead. The servers were friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. There was never any concern about running out of time during the 90-minute dining window. In fact, by the time the 90 minutes were up, I couldn't imagine fitting in another bite. The manager, or at least who I assumed was the manager also stopped by to check on us, made conversation, and was very pleasant. One thing I especially appreciate about this place is that I've never felt rushed. Even when we've gone beyond the 90-minute mark, the staff still comes by to ask if we'd like to order anything else. There's no countdown or "last call" pressure like you often find at other ACYE spots. Overall, it was another very enjoyable meal. I left unbelievably stuffed and, despite a few minor criticisms, still felt it was absolutely worth it.

For two of us to eat our hearts content is $136, before tax, which is a pretty good deal. You are allow up to 2 hours however.

Additional notes: - we thought it was funny that they put sprinkles in the potato salad, it may seem kind of odd but definitely very Chinese (compliment btw) - it ended up being almost $50 pp for 4 people - we got lucky and didn't have to wait, but I hear there's usually a line, so definitely call ahead to suss out the wait

The menu should be revised so customers who can't read Japanese know exactly what they're ordering. For the 180 dollars I spent this was an extremely disappointing experience. A majority of the food received did not look like the photos on the menu. The meat was low quality and seemed cheap. The portions were tiny and you have to keep ordering multiple of the same things. Unlike Korean bbq or Chinese bbq when you're ordering the portions given are just sample size. 3 to 4 small cut portions of meat. The chicken wings served look nothing like the photos and are honestly really bad. When checking out my bill had an extra drink on it that I never ordered and it took 15 mins to be corrected. It felt like they thought I was lying and needed to review video or something because I had 3 other waiters come talk to me while I waited for a resolution. The best part of the experience was the marshmallows we got at the end and the free fruit provided but I wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone nor would I want to come back in the future If these are the standards the restaurant goes by

    Finally gave it a try after walking past many times. Not a bad price for all-you-can-eat. However,…read morethe beef and fish were not the best quality, and the portions are quite small--you need to order multiple portions of the same item for a group of four. We ordered the chicken wings for the kids, and they were pink both times. They offered to remake them, but we just gave up. The meat quality is worse than any good Korean barbecue I've had. Would not return.
