Prime BBQ is a unique restaurant in San Mateo that serves a fusion of cuisines, including Japanese and Thai dishes. The menu features a variety of skewers, udon, and gyoza, as well as a selection of grilled meats. There is also a yummy selection of skewers and combo options for those unsure about ordering a la carte. The restaurant has a quirky interior design that feels warm and cozy, making guests feel as if they have been transported back in time to an old Japanese village. Despite the mix of elements in the decor, the presentation of the food is great.
The food is tasty, with popular options including skewers, grilled oysters, enoki mushroom, pork belly, and prime grilled rib eye. While some reviews mention that the food can be too salty, others highlight the freshness of the dishes, especially desserts. The service is quick and easy, with orders taken through a QR code, although some customers experienced trouble with the ordering process. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable. It is advisable to arrive early as the restaurant gets crowded, especially on Friday nights, and does not accept reservations. There are no outside tables for dogs.
