Yuki Japanese & Korean BBQ Restaurant — Restaurant in Georgia

My parents, their friend, and I reserved for Korean BBQ for dinner. It wasn’t crowded at the time so we got seated quickly. But that was it and went downhill from there. We ordered family combo and took about 15 minutes to wait for the meat to come out. When it came out though, several meats looked bad since it had dark shades of brown. I asked the server who brought the meat why the color was brown and his reply at first response of “this is how it is so there is nothing wrong” was totally ridiculous. I got agitated and contested Why would we have ordered expensive combo meal if the meat quality was total garbage? I also flat out asked him would he pay big bucks to eat brown-colored meat. He then said he will take the meat back and bring the new one. That took additional 15 min or more of waiting while other customers-3 groups-got served. (Don’t know if the meat was fine with them.) So we got the good quality meat after waiting about an hour after being seated. Food and the portion size were ok except their sauces were too greasy and salty. They had better side dishes in the past so I was very disappointed. Servers were nice people, but they didn’t come to check on table often. I had to ask side dishes and drinks in a bulk. They were not in a hurry to serve the customers which is not the service I expected. It is important to check on the customers frequently (that’s what the servers are for right?) so customer can have comfortable “smooth flow” of their meal time. I recommended the restaurant, thinking the service and food remained great as the past. I was wrong and really got embarrassed that I picked the restaurant. I am hesitant to recommend. Order right after getting seated or you will go hungry-crazy while waiting They say it is Korean BBQ but that is a semi-lie when servers don’t cook meat for the customers. It is annoying when they add automatic high percentile tip when customers does all the cooking by themselves. Go up north near Duluth, GA and Korean BBQs there are the real deal. They cook all the meats and have great service, food, variety, and price They used to have lots of customers, but that night it was quiet with many empty spaces. Overall, first impression...

Warning: If you don’t like your food due to taste or undercooking, they will not refund you for any reason or correct it. “No refunds, No exchanges, No exceptions.” There’s a sign that says that where you can’t see it until there’s an issue.

So I ordered the Henry County Sushi (which is a fried spicy tuna sushi) it was ok. Not great but straight. I also ordered the Atlantic or Atlanta hibachi which is chicken, steak, and shrimp.

This is where the problem was second noticed concerning taste, texture, and food handling. It began with the soup. That was the worst I’ve tasted in all my many hibachi going years. It’s like someone took a chicken noodle soup and used the broth and added a little water and vegetables to it. So it looks like clear soup but the taste is certainly not clear soup.

Then, the hibachi rice was undercooked, steak was requested for well done but was chewy with a blood background, and all the sauces…the yum yum and teriyaki sauce was watered down and thin in consistency. Granted, the cook tried to appease me by presenting the teriyaki sauce but it was disgusting. Also I couldn’t taste any alcohol (sake) in the food as it should have been cooked with it and seemed as if it was just steamed, also barely any salt added.

Now if you eat just to live and are a slob eater, want to impress someone for spending a lot of money on bad flavor food, your taste buds are shot, or if you say oh there’s so many other great reviews, and lastly you are not ravishingly hungry….sure go there an eat, suit yourself, that’s on you. I paid $56 for the sushi I guess because I refused to take that nasty food home with me.

I paid and then went somewhere else to eat but not everyone can boss out like that so….this is my caution to any foodies out there….don’t do it! You will be highly disappointed, stuck in traffic trying to find something else to eat and mad the restaurant wouldn’t help correct the issue and you were still forced to pay.

Oh and the cook had cross contamination with the meats placing chicken first then scooping all other meats after. I didn’t even know hibachi could taste bad before...

My daughter wanted Hibachi for her bday dinner with friends and we wanted to avoid going into Atlanta/Buckhead to go to Benihana so we tried this place out. The food itself was good, and the cook that did the hibachi show was amazing. My daughter and her friends loved that part of it. But if I could give the service 0 stars I would! Our server whose name was either Joi or Jio was horrible! We had barely sat down before she was asking for our drink orders, my daughter and one of her friends was still looking at the menu to see what they had and she told them she will just come back because they are very busy (there were plenty of open tables so not sure why she said that unless they were understaffed). She came back and took their drink order put it in and came right back to take our orders which again we had barely just sat down and weren’t ready yet. She continuously rolled her eyes and continued to rush us to where we even forgot to order some things we wanted. Once our order was placed we barely saw her again and had to flag her to order what we forgot. Once the hibachi cook finished our food, as we’re eating she brings to go boxes and bags and placed them in front of us. WE WERE ALL STILL EATING! No one asked for to go items. She then brought the checks out. Again we are still eating! And I wish I was lying when I say she came to the table 6 times in 10 minutes to ask if the check was ready to where we finally said to her NO we’re still eating! It was so frustrating. Once we finally were ready to pay we used cash for one of the checks that was over $200. She stood there at the table with us and said ok I need to count it 🤯🤯 It was as if she didn’t believe we could pay the bill. Understandable she had to count but usually servers take the check to their little kiosk and count there. It was very off putting and rude. I have never felt soooo rushed during a dining experience that I am paying my hard earned money for. She in no way deserved the 18% gratuity that was automatically included. If we ever go back I refuse to have her as...
