“PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN SF!!!!! When I tell you that I love Prime BBQ, I am 100% serious. I always look forward to eating here and crave it constantly. Everything is always fresh and very well-seasoned and the staff is attentive. My favorites are the ribeye, enoki mushroom, and mochi bacon skewers. Everything is seriously so tasty at this restaurant. I am begging you guys to please open a location in SF!!”

“The food was incredibly delicious. Almost all of their dishes are roasted, including vegetables. The okra and green beans were particularly tasty. They also offer vegetarian and keto-friendly options. The atmosphere, however, wasn’t particularly great, but the rest of the experience was enjoyable.”

“High quality food at fair prices. One baffling issue is that they charge for tea, but provides FREE saki and sida.”

“Overall, this restaurant is good but pricey for what you get. To be fair, this isn't unique to the area - everything in this area is pricey. I ordered: -mapotofu omelet don -momo skewer -tsukune skewer -kashira skewer -hotate skewer The mapo tofu had a spice to it and was good. The highlight, however, was definitely the skewers. The skewers themselves are portioned very small - it is very easy to rack up a bill here. With that said, the flavor is incredible - particularly the kashira, momo, and tsukune. The flavor imbued by the charcoal is divine. If you like to eat, I say be prepared for about $70/pp. The friendly service and cozy vibes might make the price tag worth it.”

“I was looking for a sushi place in the area. I was surprised to see it was in Bayhill Plaza. Upon walking in, this place was packed. It seemed there was only one person who was the hostess, taking orders, and delivering the food. I give her mad props. With the dinner rush she was all over it. I placed my order for to go, she was super helpful, gave me her recommendations, and she had a smile on her face with everyone she encountered. This place has seemed to have gotten an elevated, more modern face lift/ renovation compared to the restaurant that used to be here. I was surprised that they didn't have standard sushi rolls that I'm usually accustomed to, but from the rolls that I've tried here... change is good. I ordered: 1. Corn tempura: First time seeing this, I love both corn and tempura. Had to see what it was about. It was perfection. Now it makes me wonder why this has never been done. 2. California roll: Standard staple and was good. 3. Warriors roll: It's an interesting combo, all items that I like.. first bite you're hit with a flavor explosion. At times I felt I couldn't taste the shrimp tempura, but the crunch from the crunchy onion ties it all together. 4. Beef steak: She recommended me to try this first before trying the daily special or short rib. She did not disappoint with this recommendation. The beef was so tender and flavorful. Overall, a great experience. I will definitely be back for more. I forgot to take pictures, because we inhaled the food so fast.”
