Jiang Niu BBQ House Chinatown

Yummy!! The food is good, and the options are endless! I do wish the server would change our grills often, it wasn’t changed once during our dine in. But the service , was still great! The sauce bar is amazing <333

Friends from out of town called and asked if I knew a Korean BBQ place, I do now!! So good for the price and our waiter was especially nice and helpful which helped because some of this stuff is hard to figure out!

Located in Chinatown, Jiang Niu is a delicious Chinese BBQ spot serving up quality cuts of meat with delicious sides as well. Upon arrival the palace looked clean but beware that parking may be a bit tricky to find in the area. We had a reservation for a party of 6 and were seated promptly and set up quickly. They originally placed all 6 of us at a table with only one grill so we requested to move to one with two and they happily accommodated us. Once we were all settled in we ordered our meats and hit the side bar to prep.

The side bar is simple but good. Featuring sides like dumplings, white rice, and fried rice. The sides themselves were all pretty good so if meat is less of your thing then you can still get sufficiently full off these alone. The sauces they had were good as well, specifically their sesame and chili oil, although they have about another 5-6 sauces to offer. When we returned to our seats the meat arrived and it was time to start grilling. We ordered many different cuts and every single one was good to great. The biggest hits were the bone in rib, boneless short rib, and pork belly. All the meat cooked quickly and somehow the grill didn’t get too charred or mucked up by the cooking process.

By the time we were done eating we were stuffed and happy with the quality of the food we just ate. They do offer dessert but the options are much smaller. If you’re in the area looking for a good, cheap AYCE buffet then this is definitely the spot for you as it checks off all the marks you need.

Good service, no reservation required, they just put us on a wait list because it was a busy holiday weekend but it took us 10 min wait and our order didn't take long. We enjoyed our time there and there was no rush to leave.

Waitress was nice, the food came out rather quickly and the robot brought some sides and other dishes too which was pretty cool. The yakult drink is to DIE FOR. Wish I got that one first. The food is pretty good but could use more flavor. Often was easy to burn and stuck to the metal but still good. Dislike that you have to wait 5 min to order another drink.

Celebrated my cousin’s birthday here, pretty sure it’s free for the birthday celebrant! Otherwise $36 all you can eat (AYCE) or a la carte, pretty good value! Actually not Korean BBQ but the region of china next to Korea! Overall I’m stuffed! Still bummed we didn’t get the Ferris wheel 🎡 but maybe for my bday!

My wife and I walk in and K-pop is on. Perfect. The food was so good. I got ribs, pork belly seafood soup. The fresh vegetables, fried rice, and kimchi were readily available for us to grab as needed. Everything was really clean including the bathrooms. The staff was there when we needed anything and not there when we were eating and talking. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Jiang Niu, as of now, is probably my favorite all you can eat BBQ spot. I'm not sure how it currently has a 4.2 raiting...Not only is it all you can eat, but they don't give you a time limit like most other spots in the area. Regardless, not having a time limit is just a plus, I genuinely think that the meat here is of better quality of other spots that I've had within the same price range.

In addition to the wide variety of meats, they also have a small buffet sectoin with rice, noodles, fries, sweets, etc. Across that buffet, they have a sauce/spice station for your BBQ meats.

I think the interior design of the reasturant is nice and unique, they also have a couple robots helping with delivering some of the food to customers. Overall a great experience, I will defintely keep coming back!

Fun all-you-can-eat BBQ spot in Chinatown with robot servers and unique presentation. Meat and sides are decent, not amazing, but solid for the price. Good for casual group outings.
