Jiang Niu BBQ House Chinatown

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.

I went here with my friend last week and it was terribly hot. Apparently the AC was broken so l decided to give them some time to fix it. Today, a week later, I went back and it was still just as hot. To be honest, it felt like nothing had changed. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to fix the AC.
It's really uncomfortable to sit and eat in this heat, especially at a BBQ place where the grills add even more heat. This is unacceptable.

Came here yesterday evening for my son birthday. The place felt like a sauna. Honestly couldn't enjoy it. It was unbearably hot inside, with no proper air conditioning just a few weak fans barely doing anything. This is a basic comfort issue that needs to be fixed immediately.

The food was okay, and the servers were friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated they work in this hot weather conditions. However, the dining experience was uncomfortable because it was extremely hot inside the restaurant. It felt like there was no air conditioning at all. Also, the floor was very slippery, which seemed unsafe.

We ate here yesterday night (6/18/25) for dinner. The restaurant was very hot and had no AC. We have been here plenty of times with no issues, but the meat last night was heavily seasoned with black pepper. I think this was in an attempt to cover up the lack of freshness. After dinner, all of us (party of 3) suffered from extreme abdominal pain and discomfort along with diarrhea. We are extremely disappointed in the quality of the food and question the quality.
