The food was good enough. First time trying the Beef Tartare and it was surprisingly tasty. The dining area was spacious as it seemed to have been renovated and expanded. The service, however,could have been better. All the orders done on the phone were very fast. But, if you wanted to ask for something else, they would take forever before returning to the table with what you wanted. But, overall, good experience for our group.

Wow just wow i’m in shock no words. Really bland overpriced food. They serve you unseasoned meat. The marinated options were clearly not fresh. Service only good from the amigos though. Really really overpriced. Crying baby and no cellular service in the restaurant. Food was so bad i fell asleep during the meal. and their fume hood was not working anywhere so whole restaurant was smoked up. would not recommend anything the only way i can sleep was if my stomach was full of blood so my body would not feel any more like it was when my body started feeling better so it would not feel as much pain and it was a good idea for my stomach was a little bit better than my body is a lot worse but it is a little better than my heart

I have received the best customer service from YakiniQ in Livermore compared to any AYCE Korean BBQ I have tried. Their food is good, their service is fast, and I like their dining room. I received all my orders in less than five minutes every time I placed them on my phone. They replace the grilles quickly without asking. This is an excellent AYCE KBBQ; I'm sure I will return soon!

Came here on a Saturday night and waited around 5 minutes for two of us. Overall we had a great time. All you can eat for roughly $35 a person and you get to cook it yourself at the table. I have had Korean BBQ a few times but the service was outstanding; every single person around was available to answer questions about cooking the meat, changing the grill, menu questions (they have rules for ordering short ribs), etc. Everything is ordered via the QR code including the sides like rice and rice papers, which I actually like because it lets you see what you are ordering, and lays out the quantity you will receive. Some of the meats did come out in smaller portions but it was clearly shown on the ordering menu which we enjoyed as a two person party because then we could try different meats and not get a ton of the same thing. This place is great for first time KBBQ eaters because everyone is friendly and helpful. The owner was especially nice and hands on; he even helped us cook some of the meat we ordered himself. Him and his daughter have great taste in cars as well!

We came here for a birthday dinner as a group. We used the online waitlist option, which was helpful. They have a small parking lot which was full when we got there, but there was ample Street parking. We ordered via our cell phones. People brought out food fairly quickly with some exceptions. Overall decent quality of food.
