๐บ๐ธ Feeling U.S. Prices in RMB | A $280 BBQ Feast for Two in LA
Over the weekend, my roommate and I visited this newly opened Japanese Wagyu BBQ spot in Monterey Park. When ordering, the prices had me a little nervous ๐ , but after the meal โ though pricey (around ยฅ2,000 RMB for two โ giving you a real taste of LA costs!) โ it was totally worth it. This location is new, but theyโve had a branch in Rowland Heights for a while. The environment and service were top-notch, and the meat + seafood were incredibly fresh and delicious! ๐ฅฉ๐ฅ We ordered the Chefโs Platter for $138 โ great variety and perfect for first-timers. It could easily feed three! Hereโs what stood out: ๐ฎ Beef Tongue โ Crispy and delicious with just a light grill โ๏ธ Iwagyu Prime Short Rib โ Rich, marbled, premium goodness ๐บ๐ธ American Kobe Brisket โ Tender, not greasy, with deep flavor ๐ Beef Ribs โ Layers of texture, super fragrant when grilled ๐ฆ Squid โ Refreshing and a great palate cleanser between meats ๐ฅฌ Veggies โ Simple but perfect for balancing โ roasted sweet potato and pumpkin were amazing ๐ญ ๐ Stone Pot Wagyu Rice โ Could fill two small bowls, very tasty but we were too full! ๐ง Fruit Sorbet โ A lifesaver for cleansing the palate ๐ง We also added: ๐ฏ๐ต A5 Wagyu โ So tender, totally worth it ๐ ๐ Wagyu Carpaccio โ Zesty and appetizing ๐ Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) โ Crispy outside, juicy inside, not oily โ even better with spicy sauce ๐ฒ Beef Bone Soup (Winter Special) โ Not on the menu! Rich but not salty, loaded with tender beef โ a must for soup lovers โค๏ธ Final total: $238 before tip ๐ธ A bit steep, but the quality, service, and freshness totally justified it. They also offer a membership that can help you save โ be sure to ask! ๐ฌ Final thoughts: If you love Wagyu, this place will satisfy. If youโre just looking for casual BBQ, the price might feel high ๐ Itโs not flashy or trendy โ just seriously good meat, carefully prepared. ๐ฅ iWagyu ATS BBQ โ โฐ Hours: 5:00 PM โ 10:00 PM (Weekends: 11:30 AM โ 11:00 PM) ๐ Address: 500 N Atlantic Blvd #109, Monterey Park, CA 91754 #LifeInTheUS #LADining #LAEats #LALife #WagyuLover #BBQExperience ๐ฅข๐ฅ
