It has a great concept of selling an AYCE BBQ experience with premium options. The meat quality was good. However, it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The tables are very small for large groups and the ventilation is horrific. Service was ok, but one server was absolutely awful. Pacing was incredibly rushed, and they implemented a 6 plate order max per order (it's their rule whether you have a table of 2 or 7) which limited the amount of food we could order. We arrived at 4:25pm on a weekend and there was already a long line (we missed the 1st wave and got seated at 6:10pm). They don’t take reservations. It could be a decent experience if you come in a small group (2-4 people), but it was absolutely awful with a group of 7.

Food- 4 stars We ordered the gold tier and the items were a hit or miss. The M6 short rib, brisket, tuna nigiri and wagyu uni nigiri were good. We only received 1 order of the A5 tender meat due to limited supply, and it was decent (not the marbling and fattiness that you expect from most A5 beef). Everything else was standard (the M9 meats and seafood)

The ordering system was incredibly frustrating. They allowed a max of 6 orders per order on the menu (this included appetizers, nigiri, meat, seafood and veggies), for a table of 7! So we basically could order 2-3 meats (the plates were pretty small), 1 nigiri, 1 appetizer, 1 seafood, and 1 vegetable plate at a time. This was an incredibly waste of time as we were only able to order 3-4 times before they showed up with the check. They even had a last call order when we were 50 minutes into our meal and they still enforced the 6 order maximum per order. We had to complain about ordering a bit more during last call since we were still hungry due to their ordering protocol, and they somewhat obliged with more orders at last call.

Ventilation- 1 star The building isn’t ready for an indoor BBQ atmosphere, as it was pretty small and poorly ventilated. Groups of 4 or more were seated near the wall with a weak vent. Smaller groups were seated in the middle of the restaurant without a vent, but they had high ceilings

We were seated in the outer booth tables, which can seat 4 comfortably, but was packed with our group of 7. As mentioned, the vents at the booths felt like low-end home appliances. The smoke was awful as we reeked of smoke. It got so bad that we had bloodshot eyes and were tearing up because of the smoke and poor ventilation

Service- 2 stars The busboys were good with clearing plates and changing grills.

The servers were decent but it's unfortunate that they had to enforce the 6 order rule for a party of 7.

However, 2 servers ruined my night. Around the 40 minute mark of our dining period, 1 of the servers gave us the last call order and only allowed us to place 6 orders. He wouldn't relent on the rule, and it wasn't until I complained that we were still hungry and that we still had 50 minutes left that we were able to place a few more orders to our last call. 10 minutes after that, an older female server shoved the bill next to my plate (this is at the 50 minute mark, with 40 minutes left in our timer). She came back 20 minutes later (when we still had 20 minutes left and we literally just received our last plates of raw meat) to tell me that I had to pay right now. I understand enforcing their 90 minute dining rule to accommodate more guests, but I was disgusted by how they were forcing us out when we still had 20 minutes on the clock and our last order just arrived.

Ambiance- 2 stars The interior design was nice with a modern bar and great roof decorations. It would be a cool experience to dine in the middle of the restaurant with a small group. However, it was miserable being in the outer booths with a large group. It was like eating in a house of smoke with no windows with loud music blaring. They're going for the hipster BBQ vibe, but it felt like a torture chamber

Bottom Line I rarely write negative reviews, but this was appalling. I've never truly been upset when dining at a restaurant until this night.
