this place is actually SO BAD. The service is even worse. They are racist and reckless because they came up to us twice about our child for touching the buffet food bar even though they didn’t. Our kids came up crying because feeling blamed for the second time. I was also with them the whole time and never saw them touching anything. Just a whole racist group of people. I understand that the kids are getting up a lot but they came in to complain about the food touching issue. Some waiters and waitresses are Hispanic and started cursing at us in Spanish like we dont understand. They were also rolling their eyes at us, especially the waitresses. The food was bad. Very bad. The hotpot broth tastes like nothing but with colors. I ordered the tomato soup broth and there was nothing to do with any tomato. There were very little options for hotpot too. You have to go up to the “buffet” bar to grab your food. Actually, it’s all veggies; veggie buffet if you want hotpot. The meat has to be ordered and they come up extremely slow. It comes up in 30 minutes and it is limited too, they limit you 4 plates of meat for each order. During the 30 minute wait, they would always remind us to get up and grab your food at the veggie buffet bar. 4 orders for 10 people?? Y’all have to be kidding. Additionally, the bbq was just so weird, the taste was very questionable, it has a really strong taste of sweetness along with other flavors to make you drink water so you won’t eat that much. The surrounding was also terrible, the second we stepped in, there was smoke everywhere from the hotpot and bbq. They have a terrible air filtering system. Our food taste like nothing but when we came back our clothes are packed with the smell. The service, food and place is all terrible. They forcibly charged us 20% tip for nothing, our waitress only came if we called them or they just wanted to inform us on eating from the veggie bar. The price for my 4 year old was charged full adult price as about $44. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANYONE. PLEASE DONT GO. EXPENSIVE AND TRASH.

Every time I pass by here (located in Hackensack Commons), I always tell myself that I have to go and try it. Boo & I didn’t know what to eat tonight, so I suggested that we’d try this spot out because of the great reviews. There’s the saying “you get what you pay for”. NOT HERE!! This review is mainly for the food. Ambiance is nice and our server was kind and attentive. We did not look at the menu prior to going, so we opted for the Super Moon option because we like unlimited bbq/seafood (mainly naked shrimp) and hot pot. First, we had to pick our hot pot broths and 2 meats. Then, we had to pick 3 bbq meats. Yes it’s unlimited, but you can only choose that much each time. For hot pot, we both chose pork broth, beef brisket, and ribeye. For BBQ, we chose LA kalbi, beef bulgogi, and marinated pork rib. Drinks are served by the bottle so that means no refills. You would think that for the price you pay, they would offer steak, thick cut meats, and unlimited drinks. The server then told us to go look around the “buffet” area where there was unlimited options of veggies, noodles, sauces, raw and cooked food, and dessert. They also offer white rice, brown rice, and fried rice. We are regulars at another AYCE KBBQ spot and boo makes a delicious sauce that we put on everything, so he made it and it did not taste nowhere near it. When we got back to our table, everything was already served by a robot. Any meats with onions is for BBQ and meats without onions is for hot pot. We were HIGHLY disappointed. There was nothing good but the corn in the hot pot. The broth was bland, the kalbi ribs which are my favorite at kbbq was blah, and the beef bulgogi was also bland and had a weird texture. No matter what sauce I tried, they were all blah. Even the freakin oyster sauce did not taste like oyster sauce! We should’ve taken it as a sign that when you walk into a restaurant on a Friday night and the place is completely empty with only like 4-5 parties seated in a big establishment that this place is not good. We will take our $100+ elsewhere.

Last night was my first night having both discovered and had dinner there for the first time. I didn’t plan on dining there, but I was familiar with restaurant that had been there beforehand and was actually looking to go there. But to my surprise; it has since changed to this establishment and so I figured why not give it a try since I was already there? From initially walking in; I was immediately greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be the owener. He was welcoming, friendly and...

Where do I even begin....

We were a party of 6 + 1 baby. We were given an oddly long table (basically 2 tables put together) with 2 grills. While I appreciate that they were thoughtful enough to give us 2 grills, their table design was very awkward. With the 2 tables put together, it was about 15ft long. One grill on each end. Our party of 7 was separated in such a way that there was no way for all of us to converse while we ate. Passing food around required us to get up and walk over to...

Unfortunately, I am quite simply not going to recommend this place, although I was excited to see a new place open in this location. I knew this spot originally as a Brazilian churrascaria, and the space is clearly fitting for a buffet restaurant. But after the churrascaria closed, a rather substandard buffet place opened in its stead, which only confirmed what’s wrong with so many buffet places that have a variety of types of dishes: nothing ever stands out as being incredibly good.

But...
