Best WLM Reviews
This place is not too big so wait time can be long during peak hour, make sure you join waiting list before.
The atmosphere is great and I love that they left all the sauce on each table so you can refill yourself. Also like an idea of ordering through your phone so you don't have to wave or looking for a waiter/ waitress but that too creat a small problem.
Employees are not really friendly or make contact with customers, some of them are not even speak English. When they bring us dessert the waitress just like shovel it into our face without saying anything and wait for us to take it from her, quite unprofessional in my opinion.
Put that aside I think foods are very decent and the good sauce have made our meal better. The variety of sides order also gave us more flavor. Your order also quickly delivered to the table.
In overall we love the place, just hope for the employees will be more lively and friendly. Definitely coming back for more.
I used the yelp waitlist. It originally said it would take an average of 75 mins. But it really only took 20 mins. This was on a Saturday afternoon (~4:30pm)
Used a qr code to order food. Food came pretty promptly, and our grill was routinely changed. The staff were very proactive, nice and quick. The table was set up with several Banchan (side dishes) upon sitting down at the table.
If you're a fan of all-you-can-eat KBBQ, Yakini Q SJ is a must-visit!
The standout feature here is the quality of the meats—they're fresh, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. The side dishes are also plentiful and tasty, with the option to order more if needed. While there is a slight upcharge for premium cuts, they are definitely worth the extra cost.
Service + environment is decent, since the restaurant can get busy during the weekends. Also expect 30-40 min wait time if you're coming here on the weekend.
Nonetheless, it's a great spot for a satisfying KBBQ experience, and I plan to return sometime soon ????
Had lunch there at 2pm on Sunday. Be there as early as possible since people are forming a waiting line before 2pm and the tables are all occupied within 10 minutes.
Nice quality meat and the service is great and fast. I like the mobile ordering system so that we can order anytime without the need to regularly look for servers. They also change the grill a lot before we ask, which is good and extremely helpful.
Outstanding quality of the meats and side dishes. Come as early as you can or some of your orders might take a while to get to you or even forgotten. They get very busy so again: come early as you can. On one particular day, there was a 2-3 hour wait within 20 minutes of opening, for good reason. The best!
It’s a great AYCE Korean BBQ in the bay. We have had a terrific experience with our friends. Amazing food, wonderful BBQ atmosphere where you can be as loud as tourists can and nobody cares and great service from the staff. My personal favorite of the meat selection would be their marinated beef bulgogi. Very well seasoned!
At the end the meal, we got complimentary ice cream cup free for everyone. I didn’t expect that. Just a small ice cream cup but it sure blissed my night.
I had such high expectations since it was recommended by a goodie friend
The best really good things were all the UNMARINATED selections. The fresh beef boneless short ribs. The pork belly it had lovely pure taste that was just so delish shrimp plain yum 5 stars
The marinated octopus 3 stars
Marinated squid 2.5 stars
Marinated gizzard 1star we sent half back
Did not try other marinated selections
The seaweed soup 4 star
Tofu soup 4 stars
Side dishes not good sooo disappointing
Potato salad and jap chae noodles ok 3.5-4stars
Inedible kimchi. The bean sprouts was turning sour. Didn’t really like rest.
I thought better than gen bbq. Haven’t been in long time so not sure but recalled that might be better
Food is great and it was worth paying more for the premium meats. Overall, it’s a okay experience they provide. The service is where they drop the ball significantly. The food runners certainly like to take their time, and they constantly forget various parts of the order you put on the app, or it comes way later. There was one point where a single order of brisket took almost 20 minutes to get to our table. There does not seem to be a lot of communication between the staff which is how you can tell things get missed. Not sure if I’ll be back unless they get their act together.
