This place was great! Tables and burners are a bit outdated, but definitely had a Korean vibe! The food was good, but for the price, they could have had more meat options. I would recommend it if you've never been. Lovely sunset after dinner, too! 🌇

My favorite spot for KBBQ in Japantown.
Portions are smaller than other restaurants but I appreciate that as I feel able to order more variety and not worry about eating all of it.
Service is attentive but not overly friendly. They do their job and is fine with me.
The cake review cracked me up, not sure why but that’s hilarious.
Can be a bit smokier than other places but if you just ask the many servers to switch your grill often it’s not a problem.

Monday around 1pm
First impression: the HOST did not say a word. He was not welcoming. We walked up the host was standing there.NOT A WORD. Ok, so we sign in on the. Little kiosk and wait.
Looks at us and acts to be writing something idk. Mind y’all, Half the restaurant was empty.
5ish minutes later after other guests also sign he uses his hands to show us to our table..WE ALMOST WALKED OUT.
THE SERVERS were on point, came up to offer water or if we wanted to order more items. Changed our grill as needed, they really did have their customer service on point, only rang the bell once to order more items.. I appreciate the Hispanic/Latinos who worked that day, I know because they spoke Spanish to me
That HOST need to learn a few things.

Very solid ayce kbbq. We opted for the premium option which included more meat variety and sides. Highly recommend the brisket, marinated short rib and pork belly. The steamed egg and cole slaw was also delicious. The staff was also very attentive and frequently changed our grill.

$21.99 for all you can eat Korean BBQ in Japan town— very good! You can order three items on the menu at a time, & it’s all unlimited with sides. Extra $1.99 for a side of lettuce. The restaurant has signs at the entryway stating they only seat a minimum of two diners per table, the gentleman who sat me was kind enough to let me dine. I think that’s weird that there’s a minimum, cause a paying customer is a paying customer, but whatevs. I only ordered four things from the menu & didn’t get very far before getting full. The beef belly is flavorless, but fatty & delicious. The octopus is spicy! I didn’t think anything of the three chilies next to the menu item >.<
The galbi is ok, dry & not like the bone in galbi I’m used to, but it was still good. Lastly, I got the large beef intestine-fatty, delicious & flavorful. Brian & a female server were amazing. They helped me with my cooktop & cooking the meats (not that I don’t know how), but they were very attentive for service, price & ambiance. Five stars all around for ambiance, service & food.

Really fun experience! Great meat with a variety of choices. Spicy octopus and chicken both have a kick but were good! The garlic chicken was very good! We had a variety of beef items and they were all really yummy!!

We always get Beef Bulgogi, Pork Belly and Spicy Chicken with all the accompaniments. I always use all my dipping sauces and need more, my daughter loves the Kimchi, for me it's the Glass Noodles and the rice goes with everything. We always get all you can eat. My son has been coming here with his friends for years. Delicious food

Overall, my impression with YakiniQ BBQ is ok. Not the best place for Korean BBQ I have been to, but it's definitely not the worst. Service was nice until rush hour came. It was so crowded that it was hard for us to get attention from the waiters.
Food was good, at least to my taste. My recommendation would be Gal-bi (too bad each person is allowed to order this once). My most favorite would be Spicy Octopus. If you are into hot and spicy food, this one is for you.
At the end of the meal I also ordered a bowl of tofu soup, which is not included in the All you can eat menu (I wish at least rice and soup were included). Nice place for hanging out.

Excellent food and even better service. Henry is as an excellent host and was really accommodating to me coming in late and eating alone. Highly recommend, meat came out fast and the Galbi is very tasty. Will be coming back!

I think everything was good but the price of $32 per person is expensive if it was $25 or $27 it would be good and I really liked the selection. If it was $32 it should have been the selection with sides but the $32 option was enough if you wanted the simple options in Korean bbq

Amazing food and the staff is very friendly and helpful.. the meat was delicious and juicy. We tried the Bulgogi and the rib eye steak.. I also loved the kimchi and the cold noodles... Definitely going there again

Decent KBBQ for the price, but the quality is just okay. The brisket is really chewy and the sides were salty.
The best things were the salad, which had a creamy dressing, and the beef belly (however it was cut into smaller pieces which made it stick to the grill too much).

A bit of a wait to get a seat even on a weekday and the waiter will rarely, if ever, stop by the table unless you call - probably because it was a full house! However, the food was great and it was not overprice. Will definitely visit again the next time I am in San Francisco!
Arvind Pinto
Eat all that you can, makes this Korean BBQ a restaurant that one is willing to wait even an hour to get seated.
We tried the pork belly, tongue, octopus the beef and they were all delicious.
The only minus point is that you need to wait to get seated.

Good place, Good food, Good service. My only complaint would be the long wait, & the fact that u Leave there with your clothes smelling like all that food. But all & all i like the place, food & experience a lot.
David Torres Poblete
Best brisket in town! You may have to wait upwrds of an hour, but it's definitely worth the wait.
Oscar Funes

The experience was amazing! It reminded me of my visit to South Korea. A must on your San Francisco itinerary.
Rolo Alvarado
This food made me feel like I was back in Korea. My wife and I drove from 2 hours away and a friend recommended this location. She (my wife) has never had Korean BBQ but she fell in love with it here. I love how they didn’t give us rice in the beginning which allowed us to enjoy more of the meats. The only thing that took me by surprise was $11 for a Soju when I was used to paying $2 for it in Korea. We will be back for sure!!!

If you love meat this is the place. very good and fast service. I like the energy around.
Chris Lorange
Terrible service. Rude management, horrible host, decent staff... but Incedible food! Wow that food was good. Bring good friends to make the wait more enjoyable so you can get to the food. Reservation numbers are very strict so come with everyone in you party, otherwise expect a very long horrible Wait.
