This place is absolutely insane - I can't believe such a good deal exists. I was able to make a reservation about a week out for 4 people, and we snagged a private booth outdoors that was warm enough while the grill was going. I'm not sure if we received exceptional service because my brother knows the owner, but he said that he thinks the service would've been excellent regardless. After all, it's not like they were friends before or anything; he had come with a big group with someone who goes so often that the owner now knows him. We were very pleasantly surprised by how often servers came by to check on us and ask if we needed anything else. The food is stunningly diverse - we didn't even opt for any of the sushi rolls, though they certainly looked good. We mostly kept to the grilled meats/seafood - duck breast, kalbi, pork belly, mussels, clams, scallops, squid, and marinated meats. We grilled the meat ourselves, and I would say that it was fairly good quality even without any sauce. That said, there isn't very good sauce selection, so I'm glad the meats were good enough. We also got a seafood pancake that was really satisfying (and not too big - it had four pieces, which was perfect for the four of us). They also had a corn-cheese appetizer that was in a little aluminum boat that looked good, but I was way too full by then. We also ordered pitchers of the juices (not sure how much they cost, but they are cheaper than ordering individual juices). We got the two sweetest ones that they recommended and I loved both - they were really refreshing and paired excellently with the heavy meat. Overall, I'd definitely come back again for a fun meal with friends. We came for our mom's birthday, and she loved it. read more

This restaurant is a hit or a miss experience, depending on the waiter that is serving you and also the dine in time. I had better experience when I come at 6:30 vs at 7:30pm, but again it was different waiter. Food selections are very broad, they have sushi, appetizer, veggies, meat, and seafood selection. I did not order the sushi, the size of the roll are doubles, so I skipped it. But I did order few apppetizer and it was okay. The bbq itself, its hard to say because everyone has different palate. The meat did not have much flavor but that is depend how you like it. I enjoy eating plain, original and simple because I could add seasoning according to my taste. The waitress that served us was Strawberry, what a cute name. She is great, she attended to our tables attentively. There was no order missed at all. Everything came just the way it was ordered. We did not have to wait long for the meat orders, refill on the water/ hot tea. And she is always walking around picking up every empty plates so our tables consistently have space for more. The place itself is very nice and clean and not too smokey like the regular bbq restaurant. So, give this restaurant a try and hope that you will get an attentive waiter to make your dining experience better. read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food here was delicious!! It's $37.95 per person for the buffet, and we definitely got our money's worth. They have so many different meats to choose from, and some seafood. Our favorite in the group was pork feet, big clams, oysters, scallops, argentine shrimp, squid (especially the tentacles), and the various beef slices. We had a great waitress named Suki! Since it was our first time coming here, she explained to us how we would know when different seafood was cooked. She was very easy to communicate with, and even laughed along with some of our crazy jokes at the table. We also called ahead of time to make sure they would allow us to bring a cake to celebrate my friend's birthday. They allowed us to bring the cake, and brought it out at the end of our meal. I took off one star for my review because the grill at the table is super small. It's no fault of the restaurant, but it does take a while to cook since you can only put a few pieces of food at a time. Thanks for the wonderful food! Definitely will come back again! read more

This place is my Brooklyn's friend favorite place to celebrate their birthdays. Why? Because it is an AYCE BBQ and sushi + BYOB + you can karaoke while you eat AND you can get your own private room. There's BBQ tables outside if you don't want to sing but I think this place is only worth it if you get the private room. There was 20 of us and we paid $55 each. Service - They are attentive. There is a service button in the room where you can press and they show up. They are quick in answering. Food - This is where they need to improve. The meats were supposedly marinated but it lacked flavor. The meats were also hard to chew. The seafood also had a fishy smell and taste. The sushi had 90% rice and 10% fish and the rice was mushy. It had a lot more rice than most AYCE sushi places I've been to. Only the cooked items were good like chicken skewers, tempura shrimp, fries, fried dumplings, etc. I was hungry when I arrived but after trying the food, I lost my appetite. I was only 20% full. Honestly, we'll probably still keep coming here for birthdays because it's tradition and we love to sing. All the other stuff makes up for the food and It is still a good time. read more

The food is delicious, and it's a great value for your money. I always come with an empty stomach and fill up on the seafood. I will say-- It's better to go as a small group and sit at the main tables instead of in the karaoke rooms. When I went in a party of 10, the wait staff was slower than usual with our orders or would forgot to bring some of them. read more

3.5 stars - came for dinner with my family (party of 10) and we were seated in a private room with 2 grills. Before ordering, we requested for the items to be split into 2 separate servings to make it easier between the two tables. However, we were told that the chef was not willing to do this, which seemed a bit strange. (Update: the chef clarified in a later message that this is due to the high volume during rush dinner hours, which is totally understandable. Appreciate the clarification!) Shokunin definitely has one of the most extensive JBBQ AYCE menus, but this is also reflected in the price of $42/pp. The menu has wide selection of meats, vegetables, seafood, and sushi (sashimi is not included in AYCE). Personally, the seafood options were not my favorite, and the sushi comes with a HUGE amount of rice. Highly recommend just focusing on the meats, which were actually quite good. Service was quick whenever the call button was pushed, though some of the waiters were a bit pushy and not too friendly. Overall, decently surprised by Shokunin BBQ and will most likely be back! read more

Update (after my second visit): My last review was for when this place just opened and was still going through adjustments. My review wasn't that favorable but after my second visit, things have improved for sure! I came with a large party and we booked a room for a birthday dinner. Service was much better this time and we were able to order plenty of food. Since we had a room, there was also free karaoke. They also had a new ventilation system installed and the smoke definitely reduced from my first visit. When I got home after dinner, I realized I did not had any lingering smell of smoke in my clothes or hair at all, unlike last time. The boss and staff actually came in and sang happy birthday and cut the cake for us! I had a much better experience this time! read more

Came here as a group of 5 people to celebrate a birthday. I'm always skeptical about ayce places especially when it comes to Korean or Japanese bbq because the quality isn't always the best. However, Shokunin BBQ proved me wrong! They have a wide selection of meats, seafood, and even sushi. I was so impressed by the beef tongue, it had really nice marbling for an ayce place. It wasn't super thinly cut but it was tender. Another favorite was either the premium sirloin or the angus beef rib. Loved the flavor. They give you two sauce options and soy sauce if you order sushi. I'd come here for the bbq over the sushi. I also really enjoyed the scallops and the oysters, which were very buttery and nicely flavored. They also have KTV rooms here so it's great for groups and celebrations! read more

I came to this location twice, and the two times that I came here I had two very different experiences. The first time I came with my friends it was on a Saturday afternoon, and the server was great food not as great. This review is based off my most recent visit. I came with a group of friends, they were able to accompany us without an reservation, but I was quite surprised there was a bit of a wait on a Monday evening. This is a all you can eat including sushi, skewers and Korean BBQ. Recommend highly, the chicken skewers, it was done to perfection, so juicy and well seasoned. They have different types of meats, my favorite is the fatty beef in small slices, and the cheese and corn. The most recent time I went the food is amazing compared to the first time, however the service was horrible. We sat for 30 minutes without our order being taken, and when we wanted to order more food we had to flag down the waiters. Half of the food didn't come, but it was okay we were too stuffed to finish. The star off was for the service, along with the sticky menus. This is the second time I came, and on both occasions the menu and car was both sticky, it seems like it came from the oil residue from the Korean bbq smoke. read more

Shokunin BBQ - Different types of meats. - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you like AYCE BBQ then this is your spot. Pretty good spot in BK. They really fill you up. The meats were marinated nicely ! I wouldn't trust the seafood as they weren't as fresh. I would have really liked if the tables and chairs were cleaned thoroughly. My friends and I ended up wiping down the tables again ... read more

Came to try this new JBBQ in the neighborhood. They offer 2 prices for all you can eat and we went with their $35 one. This meal comes with sushi and BBQ. I really like their scallops because it was super fresh. I don't think the sushi is worth it as they clumped too much rice to each roll. If you do come other weekends, I suggest making a reservation as I came here on a Friday with a party of 5 and literally waited an hour to be seated. The bbq is pretty good but the staff attentiveness is 2/5. I'm not sure if they're either understaffed or the staff needs training. It was always a struggle to get refills on water or order or items on the menu let alone a plate change. Our plates were stacked like a mountain with garbage until maybe the last 10 mins of our meal, the staff decided that maybe we should get our plates changed. read more

This place was so awesome!! We made reservations for Friday night so we can snag the karaoke room! We booked for a party of 10 but only 8 of us showed up. The room is huge!! There's 2 grills, roomy booth seats, a mini stage with a gold microphone for you to sing. We get to cook, eat, and sing? This was so fun and delicious. What really shocked us was how big the menu is. We had a huge selection of grilled meats, veggies, appetizers, and even sushi!!! There were so variety for us to choose from. The staff was nice and gave us meat recommendations. We forgot that they close at 10pm but they were accommodating and let us stay way way over 10pm. You know we were really in the zone singing some throwback Backstreet Boys!!!! Overall, definitely we would come back. This place was so fun and cool. I think the best part was the room. Sooooo, go with a party of 10+!! read more

This is a new all you can eat place near 8th ave. If you have been near 8th ave you will know how MANY ayce places here. But I love how they diverted from the typical Korean bbq and hotspot and sushi road. They specialize in JAPANESE bbq. I've seen a couple of people complain and compare it to Korea bbq but let me remind you that the two cuisines are different ! Now that's out of the way, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this place ! The food was amazing the environment was amazing the service was also amazing!! We wanted to grill our own meat but there are some meats where the fat will cause the grill to have a lot of flames. Our server kindly explained that to us and told us she will only help us with our really fatty beef and the others we can do! We are definitely coming again ! The meat is fresh and SOOOO good, highly highly recommend you to come but also. Don't forget reservations ! They get packed very easily read more

This is a new Japanese BBQ restaurant in the area. It is AYCE BBQ & Sushi/Hand Roll (Sashimi not included, Drinks and desserts are also not included) for $35.95 per person. I heard you can BYOB, but i didnt confirm, if there is a service fee. Taste: not bad. if you are Beef lover, you will like this BBQ place, it have a pretty good selection to choose from. as for the other meats (Pork, Chicken, & Seafood) it have a shorter list. The menu basically have one page for BBQ, and the other page for sushi, and hand rolls. They do have some Appetizers - the seafood pancake is not bad. Enivornment: very pretty. spacious and cozy. Ventilation is strong and good - still gets BBQ smell on our cloths (heys its BBQ! its all good). Staff did gave us a plastic bag to put our jackets for this matter. Service: Great! all the waiters and waitress were very friendly and attentive. Everyone passed by - will stop for a second to make sure we are okay with the grilling. They will also help you grill the meats. One of the waiter asked us how we wanted our meat and make sure if it is okay (well cooked) before putting onto our plate, so thats a plus. Store manager (I think) - he makes rounds, asked us, if everything was alright and also making sure the dishes are place nicely for customer to take pictures when needed (thoughtful). Price: $$$$ note: it seems to me they reuses the plastic bag you put ur jacket i to (i can be wrong on this) - which i dont really like. i will prefer if they uses new bag for each table. read more

Came here on a week night. Minus a star because of how pricy it is for an all you can eat. However, the decor and menu choices are good. I like that they have a karaoke room too while eating. Their sauces at the table were mediocre. Nothing too special about it. In my opinion, I rather go to Gyu-kaku or gan-hoo for their bbq meat than here. read more

I visited for dinner which was 45/pp for the buffet, after-tax, and tip. Great J BBQ place with outdoor seating in the back. The outdoor seating area was very cute and the lighting was nice. The staff was also very kind and attentive. They are also taking COVID precautions by taking your temperature in the front and wearing masks. Since we did buffet it was unlimited food for a set price. However, if you do not want to do a buffet-style, they sell things separately as well and as food combos/sets. The food was all delicious and it was a great experience overall. read more

Shokunin BBQ - Bbq! - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my second visit. First time we can we had a huge private room that fits around 10 people. The private room offers Karaoke and BYOB. This time we came with a party of 4. This all you can eat bbq also has sushi for a price of around $42 for dinner. Their is actually a variety of options from different cuts to different rolls. The meat itself isn't the most fresh but it had good flavor. The sushi rolls had a lot of rice but my favorite was their seafood roll. Drinks are extra. Services are okay because they don't come around and cook or cut for you. I would really give this place a 3.5 but I rounded up because of their variety of choices. Overall I do recommend to try at least and I would come back for another casual dinner. read more

I came here for premium AYCE on a Thursday night with a friend. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The place was clean during COVID-19 times. They check your temperature and record your name/phone number. We ordered a lot of different cuts of steak, lamb chops, scallops, squid, clams, oysters, corn, mushrooms, sweet potato, seaweed salad, tuna martini, and black pepper tuna tataki. The meat and seafood were surprisingly good quality and well marinated. Almost everything on the menu is included in AYCE except for drinks and some desserts. However, they did offer us marshmallows and ice cream for free even though there prices on the menu. Service was very friendly and fast. The price was reasonable for the amount of variety and quality of food that you get. I also like the booths. The booths were very spacious and comfortable. I would definitely come back. read more

Had an amazing time celebrating my birthday here. Reserved a private karaoke room. It was a lot of fun, we were able to sing and eat as much as we want. The service was great, the food and drinks came out quickly. They even provided us with a sparkler candle for my birthday cake without even asking them. The workers were very attentive and accomodating. The food was average, and sushi wasn't that great, but overall this is a fun to celebrate any occasion or just hang out with friends. read more

Was a little skeptical about trying a new all you can eat Korean and Japanese barbecue spot especially during COVID 19. However this place has been nothing short of amazing. For the first week of reopening they are offering all you can drink Orion tap beer from Japan. The only drawback is that it is outdoor seating and in mid July the temperatures are around 90° with a decent amount of humidity. The staff is beyond amazing, they are friendly and accommodating and patient and they really take care of the customers by explaining everything on the menu. Obviously the menu is going to have a couple of things not in stock due to the quarantine but for the most part the menu is complete. All the food was very fresh and tasty, even the sea food was very good. I will say that the seasoning could be a little stronger usually it's over seasoned however this place really lets the food shine through. I simply adjusted by asking for a little bit of salt. The staff was really friendly and really took care of my children, they gave them marshmallows (for free) It's a roast over the fire which was a really really nice touch. I will absolutely be back because they really did a good job the food was amazing, the staff were friendly, and the price cannot be beat! Special thanks to our waiter, John , and the sweet girl that gave my kids marshmallows over and over. I can't wait to come back. read more

Went during New Years Eve, it was really busy. The food overall was great and the servings were good. The menu was dirty when we got it which was unexpected.. The music was peaceful. Price was 41ish per person, three people came out to 145$ it was kind of expensive I guess. But the food quality was overall great. read more

Came here for their AYCE bbq and sushi. Its about $35 per person and they have outdoor seating during COVID. we were sitting at the back of the restaurant, not outside because the weather was bad. The floors felt very sticky and gross when stepping on it... the food is not great but its decent given that its a buffet. The variety is pretty good. We got iced drinks and total came about to be about 50 including tax and tip per person. Feel like its not really worth the price. Would give 3.5 stars- they have wipes and sanitizer on the tables. Sometimes they would bring us dishes that we didn't order, or forget about dishes that we did order. read more

We went for a late dinner without reservation. We wanted outdoor seating so waiting for about 10 mins, not bad. Service can be improved as the server was unavailable for a while; after we finished cooking out first order of food, the server was no where to be found. It also took them sometimes to remove the empty plates. The quality of the food was mediocre. The pork belly cuts were mostly fat, when it should be a good balance of fat and meat. The blue crab sandwich was made with imitation crab, very disappointed. Definitely need to improve on the quality of the food. read more

Came here on a Friday night thinking it would be super busy. It was very empty and when you're walking to get to the table, you have to watch where you're going. Whatever doesn't fit on the table they will leave it on a stand that blocks the way. The price was alright a little on the pricey side than other places. Food was alright needs more seasoning. The meat was a little chewy to eat, however the vegetables were fresh. If you get a seat at the booth you have to scoot the entire seat up to be able to reach the table. Noise was very low and quiet since I only saw 4 other tables being occupied. read more

Please, the google hours need to be updated. We had a birthday yesterday with 11 ppl, at 8:30 pm (thinking the restaurant closed at 2am) and at the end we received a really bad service because it was closed. I really understand the position of the servers who may feel uncomfortable with us not leaving at 11:30pm but nobody told us about the closing time (just at 11:30 pm that they told us 'we closed at 11:30 pm') and we were like wow! It's closed, we have to go! And we had a cake that we didn't even had in the table.! Like literally we had to run out of the restaurant. And I'm just realizing by yelp that it was closed at 10 pm. The waitress was very kind. She deserves 5 starts. The food was delicious like always. The runner was rude. We had been a lot there, it was disappointed this time. read more

Came here last night, horrible. My wife and I had been here multiple times. Years ago, if i can recall correctly pre pandemic was amazing. Loved the place, now it has fallen apart. The meat is really old or sitting in sauce for too long. And price has gone up, paying so much and they cant even be more careful with their prep work, this isn't worth $40++. My wife and I, had stomach ache after - till the next morning. I highly discourage anyone from coming here. I dont recommend this to anyone. read more

Food was amazing and we really enjoy it. A lot of selection for all including sushi and unlimited meat. Service was good but after 2 hours they really want us to be out. Keep coming and going.

Solid Korean / Japanese AYCE bbq in Brooklyn, and a plus that there is outdoor seating. Ever since COVID-19 began I have been craving Korean BBQ and this place definitely did not disappoint. Pros: - Beautiful backyard area with grills so the issue of smelling like meat when you leave a Korean BBQ restaurant is minimized. Did not feel like I was in Brooklyn (which is a good thing!) - This place is sanitary. I watched the staff disinfect tables surrounding me when the customers left. A whole container of Clorox wipes was provided for the table as well as an entire bottle of hand sanitizer. This really stood out to me since I have never seen any restaurant go to the lengths this one did to ensure health and safety. - The food choices are great. The pork cheek was tender and flavorful, as well as many of the beef choices (although I can't tell you what I ate, I honestly don't know.) - TAKOYAKI! Not many places sell takoyaki, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it on the menu. Although the dough to octopus ratio could be better, my group loved that it wasn't overcooked each time we got it & constantly ordered more. - Seafood choices were good! Surprised to see you could order sushi (not sashimi, as they charge extra for that) on top of the BBQ menu. The grilled seafood was flavorful. The Tuna Martini (has no idea what it was, pretty much was tuna with avocado on a Pringle?) was interesting. Cons: - The staff was pretty inattentive to the customers when we went. Understandably they were busy disinfecting tables, but when it came to ordering more food or getting their attention it was quite difficult. The staff was young and it seemed like their friends were enjoying a meal at the table next to us, so they were occupied the whole time by hanging out with them instead of focusing on customers. - More on the staff - they will get your order wrong. It wasn't a big deal to us but with most it would be. A few times we ordered items and either never received them/ received something completely different. The customer service at this place overall is subpar. - The cheese corn (under the name BBQ corn) has no flavor, which was disappointing. Also wish they had the steamed eggs that I usually get at Korean BBQ. - Many of the items were out of stock. Don't expect to be able to get everything on this menu. - Don't expect to know what you're getting in front of you. When you place your order and get it, almost everything looks the same. The names on the menu were all enticing but when they came out, we couldn't tell what was what. This became difficult when trying to reorder items since the staff had no idea what anything was either. Overall, this place was a hidden gem in Brooklyn. I found this through Instagram and am pretty happy with the meal we had. It was not busy in the slightest and definitely is closer to home than traveling to Queens to go to all you can eat bbq. We definitely will be returning! read more

I was honestly excited to try this place out, being that it was AYCE sushi and korean bbq. However, I was quite disappointed. The sushi is very subpar, as they do not use sushi rice. The salmon did not seem that fresh either. The sushi to fish ratio was off as well. There are a lot of pieces you have to pay extra for and it is definitely NOT worth it. Moving onto the meat quality, I definitely had better. The service was very mediocre and I became slightly annoyed. At one point, the waitress forgot one of the meats we ordered for about almost half an hour until we reminded her again. The place was busy and our servers seemed to be in a rush every time we wanted to place another order or when they were cooking our food. I did enjoy my fresh juice though (apple, ginger, pineapple, watermelon) -- that was what I remembered being super delicious. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items off the menu but I will not be be returning. There are so many other better korean bbq places but if you're a big meat eater, you can give this place a shot. I usually love a good variety of side dishes and appetizers and I found that this place doesn't have much. If you do come here, I'd advice you to just get the meats and not the sushi. read more

This place does a great job at keeping everyone socially distant and keeping their place clean. Upon arrival, I had my temperature checked with a no touch device. I was then lead to the back of the restaurant where they have their outdoor seating set up. Each table has a container of Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer (yay!). They also had a special for free refills on Orion beer. Onto the food, which was decent/good. It's not the best Japanese BBQ I've had but for an AYCE what can you expect. Seafood pancake was good. Tuna tataki was meh and same with the kani salad. The chicken yakitori was juicy. The meats definitely could've been marinated longer but it taste bad. Normally I would give this place 3/5 stars but they that extra star for making me actually feel okay dining outdoors. Would I come back? Maybe. Wouldn't go out of my way. Didn't love it but also didn't hate it. read more

Waitress chased us to the door and blocked us from leaving because she wasn't satisfied with the tip we left. It was extremely embarrassing. We didn't have any loose singles so ended up tipping her a lot more than deserved just to get out of there. Will never return. (and also- original tip was generous. It just wasn't 18%- what she said people usually give her). Other staff also observed this behavior and didn't interfere. Next time they should mention mandatory 18% tip somewhere on the bill before choosing to humiliate paying customers. Don't come here read more

I didn't like the food. Wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're going for the vibes (karaoke and pictures). Planned a surprise cake for a friend and employees came in asking if we wanted the cake out load. Ruined the surprise despite us telling the staff to keep it a secret. read more

Our experience was surprisingly really good!!! I wasn't expecting much since it's ayce. I'm always skeptical when it's unlimited meat. The meat here was really GOOD!!! Very good quality. I'm impressed. The seafood was very fresh too. We enjoyed the scallops and octopus. There are a variety of small fishes that are also very good. I will probably just stick with meat only next time because there's only so much I can eat. I wanted red wine.. The house red wine here was too sweet for my liking though. Highly recommend this place. Service was great. We came in a Saturday evening too. read more

Very cute and spacious outdoor backyard dining experience. This was my first Japanese bbq experience and it was very good but not great. One of the best parts was the variety of options available, especially if you're coming with a large group. They have all types of meats of course, but also have all the vegetables you could want to grill and sushi rolls to eat as well (& no extra cost for those fancy rolls!). You can even get chicken nuggets and french fries if you so desire and they do not skimp on their portions for an AYCE place. Out of the meats we got, the steak cubes were particularly flavorful and juicy but the galbi was not seasoned very well. The pork belly was pretty thin and shrimp was just ok as well. Furthermore, I'd say the service was a bit mediocre but it might have been a busy night. It took a while for us to get our waitress to change our grill and refill our waters. read more

It was my first time coming here yesterday and it was pretty freakinnnn good!!! They had a huge bbq selection with lots of high quality meat options with tasty marinades and seasoning. They also had a large range of vegetables and seafood!! (Shrimp, oysters, clams, etc). I personally love beef and would've given them four stars for their steak/beef options alone. The vibe of the restaurant is also really nice. They take your temperature when you walk in and they have outdoor seating in their backyard area. The tables are definitely socially distanced and the whole backyard area is kind of enclosed by the nearby apartment buildings, but in a nice way that blocks out the noise from the outside traffic and let's you have a more peaceful meal. The inside of the restaurant looks SUPER nice so I would definitely love to come back when it's safer. One point off because the sushi is pretty mediocre...... also the "blue crab" sandwich sounded really cool but it was just like a California roll (with only imitation crab) in the shape of a sandwich. It tasted fine but they should probably change the name of it. I would also stay away from the bbq corn, it's basically their take on Korean corn cheese but they put wayyy to much Mayo on it. There was also one waiter who was a bit standoff-ish and literally was like "yo" when he was waiting for us to give him our dirty plates. It came off kind of weird but all the other waiters were fine. read more
