I love this place so much, I wish I could be the yelp duchess of this meat and flame castle...but my bank account and arteries reminds me to calm the **** down.
I've brought so many different people of different demographics here, relatives from out of town, super old school parents and hipster vegetarian-wannabe friends - everyone was impressed, so I was surprised by all the haters.
Meats are fresh and marbled, not as nicely marbled as when they first opened, but still definitely light years ahead of any AYCE competition. Personal favourites are paper thin, melt in your mouth beef tongue, chicken knuckles and pork cheek. All of which are rare cuts for AYCE bbqs. Their enoki mushrooms and sweet potato tins are also to die for.
Reason I like this place most is that it really offers foods for everyone that are a luxury compared to your run of the house AYCE. They have asparagus and oyster mushrooms for the healthy ladies; filling but special options like bibimbap and cold noodles; lettuce wraps with garlic you can roast; let's not forget the restaurant quality creme brûlée.
The quality of their meats and sides are that of stand alone restaurants that would easily sell the same stuff for so much more. That is where the value is at and why I think their typical Asian service (aka "rude" servers) are perfectly justified. If you want A plus service, go to a Brazilian grill or a la carte restaurant.
That aside, expect a food coma or you didn't eat your money's worth.
