ABSteak by Chef Akira Back

Had a great time at AB Steak. This was our second visit, and we were not disappointed. Food quality and service were top notch. Really enjoy their premium cuts. it would be even better if the wine pricing could be more approachable, especially for red wines.

Food was fantastic. Meat literally was so tender, it melted in your mouth. The restaurant staff grills the meats at the table, to perfection. The banchan dishes were so tasty, definitely the best I ever had. Service was good. The cost is pricy but with the quality of the food, it is well worth it.

This was our second time back. Definitely better the second time around. Not as busy as I expected it to be but great quality meets

This isn't a great place for delicious food, but the meats are aged and are excellent, and Angela, the staff, provided great service. This is our go-to restaurant. Excellent bar drinks. I can't say enough about this place.

We had much higher expectations. We have been to other restaurants owned by Akira Back. This restaurant shows nothing of his capabilities. Food was fine. Only complaint was there were 2 pieces off of one wagu ordered that smelled and tasted with kerosene or butane. It was awful. Our waiter (who was also the manager) replied with “oh it must be from the rosemary I used to coat it”. Seriously. The egg soufflé was the best thing our family of 4 raved about. The service was awful. Hard time getting water refills. Took a while in btwn meat courses. Our last meat course was forgotten. We did get finally and was actually the best of all wagu options. Bulgogi was the name. I was baffled after reading all the reviews on this site. There is NO way these reviews were written by actual patrons. Sadly I will not be returning. Cost of dinner was $600.00 including tip. Such a waste.

It was my first time here and it did not disappoint. I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by the restaurant's upscale and modern interior and decor. They accommodated my late arrival due to an unforeseen traffic accident and my date and I were promptly seated. Our waiter was very attentive and surprised me when I found out that they cook the kbbq as opposed to cooking it myself. We ordered three cuts of meat: Chadol (Australian Wagyu Brisket), Snow Flower Kkotsal (Australian Wagyu Boneless Short Rib) and the Maribated Galbi (Marinated USDA Prime Boneless Short Rib). Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. what surprises me was that our hard working waiter was actually the manager. They were short staffed but it was a great experience nonetheless. I would definitely return.

This place is like a hidden gem. The food was delicious as were the drinks. Great selection of meat cuts and each side we tried was yummy! The service needs to be drastically improved - 1 server for an entire area. He not only forgot to bring our drinks out, which we had to finish AFTER the entire meal was done, but he also did not bring us a salad and then told us that since they removed our plates, he didn't think we needed it. He was very slow to check on us, so we had to 'check in' on him to get things we needed. We're obviously okay to pay the high prices but it warrants much better service.

Found this new restaurnt in th city, and this is such a great find! Pleasantly welcomed by the hostess though we are early, every servers were very patient and detailed to explain through all the dishes and drinks where we were spoilt for choice. The serving of the meat were amazing especially with the A5 wagyu which was stunning! Soju recommended by the server was so good and the portion of meat were generous. Ended the night with dessert and they were soo delicious even though we were stuffed. Amazing experience and will definitely come back for sure!

I've been here 4 times , and even though our waiter was very nice ! some rude lady name Angela kept bothering us all night, first as soon as we sat and order .. Angela came and interrupted our conversation by saying it was last call for food ? we just sat! then keep coming to interrupt us rushing us up and never said excuse just came and grab things from the table , stand there next with a bad attitude until i finally had it and told her to leave us alone , horrible experience

Great experience! The food was so delicious! Love this place! Staff was friendly & warm! Service is great! Will be going back with more friends. Thank you to who served us for your excellent service 💛

Great experience! The service was excellent and the food was very delicious. I like how they cook the meats for you.

Exceeded expectations. THey cook your food your you at the table. We got the Chadolm Snow Flower Kkkotsal, Dry-Aged robeye, and Satsuma Wgayu. They were all diffeent and delicious. The Satsuma Wagyu is very very special melts in your mouth. Highly recommend. The Gal Bi fried rice is delicious. Egge souffle also rewlly great. Skip the kimchi fried rice. The Galbi one is better . Asparagus and musrooms very good. We opted out of the Wagyu pizza even though they recommended it bc we didn't want raw on a cold day, and seemed not that authentic. But many around us ordered it. The ice creams/gelatos are all DELICIOUS!!! Leechee, Black sesame, green tea, and coconut w chocolate chips and almonds . They were SUPER special. Not too sweet. The Hanwoo desset is beautiful and delicious, unique, Yu won't be disappointed w the presentation, it's fun. Service fantastic start to finish.Banchan very enjoyable and they will give as much as you want proactively. We loved it al and will return. Soon!

AB Steak is a great restaurant for non traditional high end Korean bbq. The main wait staff was helpful and engaging but a lot of the side dishes were not flavorful and did not highlight the dishes (kimchi and radish kimchi). The mushroom dish was excellent and the wagyu pizza was an interesting take. The meats were good but the traditional sauces were not offered. Rice paper wraps and sesame oil with salt and pepper should be a staple. Garlic chips were offered instead of garlic slivers. While I understand the meal was meant for a wider audience we should also ensure those who have tried Korean bbq is also appeased. Service was wonderful.

The food was good but overpriced. The service was good. There wasn't a vibe. Most likely wont go back. It was memorable more like a one and done.

Absolutely loved it! My date had a shrimp allergy and they were very attentive to him. Thank you all so much!
