Been here twice now. The meats are amazing and easy to cook and the sushi is better than any sushi I’ve had in Chicago. Amazing food and great deal on weekdays. Definitely need a reservation. 10/10

This self-serve BBQ place is amazing! The meat quality is great and the marinades are super flavorful. I love that you can grill everything yourself and try different combinations. Everything was fresh and the environment was clean and comfortable. The staff were also very helpful. Highly recommend if you enjoy

The AYCE here is extremely good! There is no doubt about the quality of their meat, and the milk tea is amazing as well. It’s fantastic, and they’re the only place I miss after leaving Chicago.

The quality of the meat was excellent — fresh, well-marinated, and full of flavor. The handcraft bubble milk tea is amazing and has many options. They had a great variety of meats and sides to choose from, and everything tasted amazing once it hit the grill. The staff was friendly and attentive, always checking in and helping change the grill when needed. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for hanging out with friends or family. If you enjoy cooking your own food and love good BBQ, this place is definitely worth trying. I’ll definitely be back!

The food was good, but the service really needs improvement. When we first sat down, no one came to help us for quite a while. When a server finally came over, they immediately asked us which set menu we wanted. It was our first time there, but there was no explanation of the different options and we weren’t even given a menu to look at before being asked to choose.
No one told us that the ordering time limit was 70 minutes. At around the 71-minute mark, we wanted to order dessert but were told we couldn’t because the ordering time had already passed. It would have been helpful if this had been explained earlier.
Throughout the meal, the server also never checked in to see if we needed anything. The food itself was fine, but the overall experience was disappointing because of the service.

This barbecue buffet is a real hidden gem! It has a great selection of fresh, delicious barbecue. You can also enjoy tasty milk tea and wonderful sushi here. It’s the perfect place to have barbecue, milk tea and sushi all in one visit. The restaurant is clean, the service is nice, and it offers great value. Highly recommended for gatherings with family and friends!

Nice to try once. Would I go back? Not sure. Service was mediocre. Food was good. Ordering system was restrictive to 10 items every 5 minutes. 10 items, for example, 10 pieces of nigiri. There is a lot of multitasking involved between ordering, cooking, and eating… If ordering system was more streamlined and less restrictive, I’d return back.

Food is outstanding! Meats are of great quality and they’ve a lot of options to choose from without getting the highest price, which is great. There’s NO smoke when you grill, and you don’t leave smelling forever, which is a plus. Serving time is pretty quick and in 90 minutes you can get your fill and take advantage of the all you can eat. We will be coming back more than once for sure!
Had an amazing experience here! The interior is modern and well-designed, with a warm and comfortable atmosphere. It’s a great spot for dinner with friends or even a date night.
The quality of the meat was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly marbled. Everything tasted delicious once grilled, juicy and tender without feeling heavy. The side dishes were also thoughtfully prepared and complemented the BBQ really well.
Service was another highlight. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help with changing the grill and checking in on us without being intrusive.
Overall, great food, great vibes, and great service. Definitely coming back and highly recommend!

This place really impressed me. From the moment we walked in, the space felt clean, thoughtfully designed, and comfortable without trying too hard. The layout gives enough room between tables, so it doesn’t feel crowded even when it’s busy.
The food speaks for itself. The meat quality is clearly above average, well-cut, nicely marbled, and consistently fresh. Once on the grill, everything developed great flavor and texture. You can tell they pay attention to sourcing and preparation. Even the smaller details like sauces and banchan were well-balanced and not just an afterthought.
I also appreciated how smooth the overall experience was. Orders came out in a timely manner, the grill was changed proactively, and the staff checked in just enough without hovering. It made the whole dinner feel relaxed and easy.
It’s the kind of place you leave already thinking about what you want to order next time. Definitely a solid five-star experience.

We are in town visiting and I wanted to spend my birthday here because of the great reviews. I had the worse experience and should have went elsewhere. The manager she will bargain with you on their “policy”. Don’t bring kids who aren’t eating they will still want to charge you full price or negotiate a random deal that’s not written in any policy of theirs. The owner or another manager must have overheard and brought over a dish for our kids out of kindness and that I truly appreciate that response. He never argued and understood we wanted to enjoy ourselves and our children don’t enjoy the same food. I was so uncomfortable the whole time but we waited an hour and half and they allowed other smaller groups to go ahead of us instead of asking us if we didn’t mind different tables. All that waiting to be rushed because it was closing. The man’s response was the only highlight of this place. Very small place not best for big groups.

Great Value for Big Appetites At $45 (with the current $10 off promotion on the $55 Diamond Menu), this spot is worth every penny if you’re looking for quantity. The meats are pre-sliced and frozen, which allows for fast service, though don't expect much in the way of seasoning or marinades. The meat can be a bit tough and lacks natural flavor, so the dipping sauces really have to do the heavy lifting here. Timing is key: You get 90 minutes total, but the kitchen stops taking orders at the 70-minute mark. If you’re a fast eater and keep the orders coming, you can easily squeeze in four rounds. While there isn't a full bar, a cold beer pairs perfectly with the BBQ anyway.
