Yakini Q Sj - San Jose

The food is good if it ever gets to your table. Don’t go hear for “unlimited” meats it’s not and even if it is they run out quick. The place is also hot no good air circulation so you be sweating real good.

Great spot for all you can eat KBBQ. The premium option is well worth it, and the sides are all great. My only gripe is seating can feel a bit cramped.

I would ONLY recommend coming BEFORE 4pm.First time went very well. We came early so there were not that many people.The meats were of really good quality, banchan (sides) are awesome, and the atmosphere feels authentic. Plus some popular side dishes were also included in the AYCE, like seaweed soup, kimchi jjigae, steamed egg, and more. They also offer ice cream (free). Price point is good, 30.99/person.On a negative note, the second visit our last 4 meat dishes were delivered to the wrong table and we had to see the host a few times to see where our dishes went. We were waiting for about 20 minutes until we finally got one of the orders of meat, then the last three orders took another 5 or so minutes. We sat around 4:45 on a Sunday and were sat directly next to another group. Their grills took a long time to be changed and I guess their vent was weak/not working so we got a lot of their smoke.Overall, good food but horrible service when busy. So only go early.

I went here for dinner with one other person. I’d say that the food and atmosphere was great, and that the concept of ordering off of a QR code online is awesome. But I have to subtract two stars because whenever we ordered something the item either never came out or came out super (and I mean super late). Even after reminding the staff three separate times about one item they still never got it out too us. Overall the food is great while the service is lacking.

Food is good but service is terrible. Orders, water, and grill changes must be placed through a website. Only the meat comes out quickly. The restaurant somehow loses all other orders. We ordered rice paper and radish wraps and had to prompt the staff 3 times for it to finally come out. By the time it came out, we were mostly done with our meal. A good portion of our time here was spent waiting for a grill change, which also didn't happen until after we prompted a staff about it. Kimchi never came out even after prompting staff. Staff seemed annoyed when questioned about orders that didn't come out and told us she doesn't know why it hasn't come out. Based off the terrible service, I will not be coming back.Strawberry ice cream at the end was a small saving grace.
