| - Ohya Sushi and Korean Grill and Bar
We have been looking for a Korean BBQ Restaurant in the Phoenix area and better yet in North Scottsdale. We have been going to different ones in San Diego and San Francisco, but nothing here until now.
Ohya offers the choice to have them cook with set dinner plates or order your meats and cook at the table on the table burner.
We choose to cook our selection of meats.
We ordered the following meats - Bulgogi, (Thinly sliced BBQ Beef Marinated in a House Special Sauce), Chadol Baegi (Non Marinated thin sliced Beef Brisket) and Sam Gyup Sai (Sliced Pork Bellies Marinated in Special Wine Sauce). All meats came out uncooked for us to do, on a plate well decorated and impressive presentation with a generous amount of meat on each plate.
With the different dipping sauces, the Bulgogi did not need to add any sauces as the marinate provided all the flavors you would need in a great flavor.
The Chadol Baegi came non marinated and I enjoyed using the sauce that resembled a ketchup/salsa style flavor.
The Sam Gyup Sai meat was marinated in a special wine sauce which was good by itself.
Being the first time here we ordered a conservative selection of meats that were less expensive, going back I would like to try the Galbi Short Ribs, Ribeye Steak or Lamb Bulgogi.
I liked how the meats came out with onions, mushrooms and you could add garlic cloves.
My family totally enjoyed our experience and my daughter asked of we could celebrate her birthday here with our immediate side of 22. Which is a total compliment to the restaurant.
We arrived for a late dinner at 8:45 pm on Black Friday and there were a total of 4 different tables which 3 were occupied by Asians which I find is an excellent example that it is pretty good and authentic.
In talking to the waitress who was very good, I asked her about the Wednesday special that was on a white board at the entry and she said it was every Wednesday, All You Can Eat, All Meats for $25 per person which includes 2 different sushi selections also. We will definitely come back to try it.
I was amazed that the restaurant opens till 2:30 am, but the location is not a very good visible area and from the outside the lights are so dim that it is questionable whether it is open.
Just be prepared to wait a little if you are ordering to cook at your table because it takes time to prepare the meat plates that you order which are presented very nice.
We came back for the Wednesday all you can eat and waited for 25 minutes to be seated. When ordering, the amount of meat that comes out is different than ordering Ala Carte. They don't give you the fancy well decorated plate, it is just placed on a plate and brought out, don't understand why they were so backed up. Would recommend as soon as you place your order on the burner to place another order because of the time it takes to bring out the order. Would recommend the Galbi with bones, bulgobi, ribeye and Shrimp. The sushi was the biggest surprise with a good variety of different sushi, beware the orders are huge which I expected to be a few pieces.
Will definitely be back and look forward to the all you can eat on Wednesday!
