Wild Japanese BBQ & Sushi & Shabu - AYCE — Restaurant in San Antonio

First of all my experience may not be like anyone else's this is based on my opinion of my experience here. Let me start off with service and wait time and service was very friendly and welcoming we were given a brief run down on how to go about the menu and items we can choose from. The options are many to choose from but priced fairly in my opinion yes it was expensive for myself and someone else but for the amount you choose from it's so much. One thing to keep in mind you are given 2 hours for your meal I believe is more than enough time to enjoy it all from start to finish service was fast by the time we got our drinks and checked out the sauce bar along with appetizers our meal was already waiting for us to cook and devour. Another thing to keep in mind is do not over order doing so will cost you if you have an excess of food left over DO NOT be wasteful they will charge you for left overs luckily I did not not leave much if anything so I didn't get charged they extra . As for the wait time it was very fast. As for the food and drinks depending on what you choose or will choose so the way to look at the menu depending if you go alone or with a group you will be given time to strategize how you want to order what I mean by that is if order something it's a shared plate to split between other you can order what you would like and still have more than enough to go around. So with that being said you can get everything and more again depending on the size of the group. For the drinks I highly recommend looking into the happy hour drinks from the section they indicate will be 50% off please do not go in to get smashed enjoy yourself and make it home safely. As for the environment for its medium size open and chill again do not lose yourself here it's calm and down to earth. For my overall experience I love it here yes it was pricey for me but it made it up in quantity and quality of food and selection love that sweets are also included in the price depending on which option you selected for the most part I highly recommend going here if you are truly hungry I am not a small guy and can put down food easily this place had me going pretty good I left full and getting ready for a food nap. As for the the establishment thank you very much for the amazing experience never felt like I had to hunt down the waitress very quick and on point very friendly I look forward to coming back with hopefully more people keep up the amazing work and overall incentivise all your workers I know without them you couldn't get this lengthy comment from me thank you again for the amazing experience and have a great...

I have been to a few K BBQs and know my always around. When this place was in soft opening I had to go. Because it was my birthday it was perfect timing! We went pretty early for dinner and the fun started! The entrance is super cool and welcoming. You are welcomed at the front desk to check in on an ipod and mark your reservation party. There will be reservations later on, but walk ins were the only option at this time. Upon seating at the table, the person or host seating you explains the process of ordering. And at the table you see the round grill and a cool vacuum above it for smoke ventilation. In each corner where the table seats 4, there's a spot for a hot pot. On the menu, which is all you can eat, you choose up to three items to grill and also to put in your hot pot. The one piece of information which would have been nice was that the controls for heating up the hotpot in the corners. There is an on switch and also offers a timer which is handy. The levels go up to six so keep that in mind. Now the food. There was an island that offers dipping sauces and limited appetizers, I personally loved the house sauce and added cilantro. The list of things they offer is very very extensive on both the grill and hotpot. You can get baby octopus to tofu. They offer a few marinated options and the garlic shrimp is too garlicky and I love garlic. It was just too overwhelming. We had to drop it in our hotpot which helps but it was not meant for the hotpot. Instant ramen is offered too and it makes sense but I would have preferred at least fresh ramen. But tonkatsu broth was perfectly done and makes up for it lol. The cuts of meats are pretty perfect for a serving to just try. Also there's no leftovers to take home. You will be charged for anything left over and you have a 2 hour sitting time, which is plenty!

The staff was awesome. They all took time to answer your questions. And it's just not your server either. Even the runners offer help and they will always let your assigned server know if they cannot help. The food was way better than expected. The tools/utensils were perfect for the BBQ and hotpot. I cannot wait to get back and see what else they can offer later. I can see growth and excited for It! Go try it!...

100% recommend 👌 👏 my husband and I are major fans of Japanese BBQ joints. We have traveled across the country and tried different places. I confidently can say this is in the top 3 for us. The food was extremely fresh and clean. The variety of options available to you is fantastic. From Kobe Beef, Spicy Shirmp, Crab Meat, Brisket, to NY strip, to the noodle options. And don't get me started on the veggies. I am extremely happy this place not only had the classics but also had oyster mushrooms, spinach, asparagus and more. Let's move on to the sauce bar. Wow 👏 wow 👏 wow 👏 not all taste buds are the same and this place definitely knows that. I didnt count them all, sorry but I will say definitely over 7 different sauces and spices to make your meal that much for amazing. The fruit they have there was fresh and super juicy (which my 15 mth old baby boy loved) and I LOVED that they had French fries and chicken wings on thier for the kiddos as well. BRAVO 👏

Now the service, Bobbie was our waitress. Again we have traveled across the country (including Alaska) and have eaten in many different places. Bobbie is in the top 3 servers we ever had!!!! She was busy too, had a few tables. But she consistently checked on us. Made suggestions, and when I went to the sauce bar with my 4 mth old baby in arms, she immediately offered to help me. She said just tell me what you would like and I will get it for you. She walked back with me to our table, following me with the sauces we wanted. And when I said no to dessert because i don't like being wasteful with food and didn't want a full serving she said she would get me a small serving to satisfy my taste buds. And yes I know full serving or small serving same price. But being wasteful with food is a major NO No with us. The only thing that was lacking for me was the cleanliness in the womens bathroom. I went in to wash my hands and there was paper towels pieces all over the floor. My husband went to the men's to wash his hands and he said it was extremely clean. I hope they address this issue. Overall a great Nighy, great food, service and good music playing 🎶 We will definitely...
