Great deal for an all you can eat KBBQ for $35 getting all the LA Kalbi you want. They have a great selection of sushi and meats and honestly everything was solid quality. The only downside is this place is so busy and packed but it’s because it’s such a great deal! Worth coming out and definitely get a reservation if you plan on going. There is a 90 minute total time limit so order plenty. Definitely worth visiting again.

recently had dinner at 888 Japanese BBQ, and overall, it was a great experience. The quality of the meat was outstanding—tender, flavorful, and perfectly fresh. The rice was also excellent: fluffy, well-cooked, and a great complement to the rest of the meal. I especially enjoyed the sushi rolls, which were beautifully made and full of balanced flavor. That said, there were a couple of small things that could be improved. The reservation process felt a bit confusing and more complicated than it needed to be. Also, I was a bit surprised to see the meat being cut with regular scissors—it worked fine, but it took away a bit from the otherwise high-end feel of the meal. Still, the food and service were fantastic overall, and I’d happily come back again. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great Japanese BBQ!

Be prepared to wait! (90 minute was our wait time) Everything we had was delicious and super fresh! Would have given this place a five star…if Service was a little bit more efficient. Overall worthy of trying if you have the time.

I regret not taking more pictures of the experience. This barbecue is sooooooo amazing. I salivate just thinking about it. We ordered amazing cuts of beef and pork, and several side dishes. By the time we finished, we felt like we ate two giant’s worth of food. This is a one in a lifetime experience for anybody who loves Japanese/korean food and visiting Vegas.

Strongly recommended to go there at non peak hours and if you want to get seated soon with max waiting time of less than 20-30m, even for 2 ppl, you should go on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. The food is fresh and service was attentive. We chose the $33/person set and was able to order quite a few dishes. The Sushi rolls were a bit disappointing though, a bit hard. Would focus on ordering the meats and vegetables as well as the carpaccios, salads, soups next time! Overall speaking, good quality! Including 20% tip and 2 cups of jasmine teas, it’s under $100 total bill. We’re happy!

Not sure about the hype and why it got almost 5-stars, i am quite disappointed. Food: meat quality is fresh and good. However, flavor is a bit salty for my taste, especially the beef tongue and carpaccio. I find many BBQ places taste better, just not as good of value as this one. Service: everyone has a nice attitude but the restaurant is understaffed. My servicer checked on my 5 times for the entire 90mins meal. 1 greeting and taking my first order, 1 for the bill. The other 3 times is like 30mins apart each. A few times I have to grab someone else to service my table like change grill and bring me silverware. Don't get me wrong, the server is nice but he just can't serve 5 tables with 40+ people total. Atmosphere: nice decoration and clean. Great place to hang out with friends and family. Not a great place for special event. Value: great value for the $33 option! I find the $45 option is not as great of a deal as they limit you one order per person for all the upgrades dishes and the portion of each order is small.

Still one of the best Japanese BBQ in town. Gotta try when you visit Vegas. Great service and kids under 4 is free of charge. I will keep coming here if im in town.

My friend and I ate here and it was good The meats where really good The customer service was good I would recommend to join the waiting list at least 1 hour prior to prefer time to eat at least on the weekends it can be a long wait.

The quality of the meat was exceptional. The menu featured a wide variety, from premium cuts of beef like wagyu and ribeye to pork, chicken, and seafood. Each cut was beautifully marbled and tender, making for a rich, flavorful experience. The staff was attentive, often explaining the best way to grill the different cuts of meat, ensuring we got the most out of each bite.

We went there with a party of 10. We were greeted by the pleasant staff and were seated right away to a table that had 2 grills. We were very comfortable and did not feel crowded at all. Our server Althea was the BEST. She explained how the menu worked and assisted us in selecting the most delicious items on the HUGE menu. You cannot go wrong with any of the items. They were all DEEELISH!! I definitely would recommend 888Japanese AYCE. And yes! 90 mins was really enough time to eat pretty much the whole menu.

This is definitely my top A.Y.C.E bbq places in Vegas!! We always get the best service and it's fast and attentive. There is usually a wait so be sure to check in through yelp ahead of time. The ambiance is nice and dim and you can go very casual or for a date night. I love this place because you are able to get sushi as well

Our anticipation for this restaurant was well-rewarded when we visited on a Wednesday at 11 AM, strategically avoiding the usual rush. The decision to come early proved to be wise. Our dining experience was significantly enhanced by the exceptional service provided by our waitress, who was attentive and accommodating throughout our meal. One of the standout features that i find of 888 is their innovative grill system. The side vents effectively minimize cooking odors, allowing for a pleasant dining atmosphere even as we grilled our own food at the table. The quality of every dish of beef was impressive, with each piece expertly marinated and perfectly rolled, ready for grilling. Among the various cuts we tried, the beef tongue emerged as our clear favorite. Its taste and texture were so appealing that we found ourselves ordering multiple servings. Even the veggies were well prepared and served thoughtfully cut. However, not every dish hit the mark. The small intestine, in particular, fell short of our expectations, being both undersized and overly dry. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Las Vegas, with a return to 888 high on our list of priorities!!

This review is as a 49 year old man living in San Francisco. Subjective. If you are a 20 year old person or someone who is going out with friends and planning to eat a lot and drink a lot, this might be a good place for you. Other than the Kobe dish, which was well cut (3 slices per plate, one plate per person, if you selected the kobe beef AYCE selection) and looked to be really well marbled slices of kobe beef, everything else was just average cuts of meats and that too prepared without much attention. I had to spit out or cut away globs of fat from the spicy pork and other meats, even the premium cuts/plates that I can only order 1 each.

My friends and I were looking for a meaty place to munch out after a long drive from LA then we found this. The place looks promising and really appetizing from the looks of it. The ambiance is great and makes me hungry by just signing up from its wait list (yea go sign in on the wait list, before you drive.. it can take awhile). The ambiance looks clean and elegant, even the servers are polite and helpful. Anyway, the meats are great and you have a variety of meat choices from premium cuts to your regular bulgogi type of cuts. We chose the middle ground that have premium slice of wagyu beef. I love their carpaccio wagyu meat (it's a must!). My only negative part of my comment is their sushi rolls are mid. It's a filler food nonetheless, so don't order that unless you want to get full quickly haha. The rice is saggy and unappetizing. Actually there's another one, I kinda don't like commenting but I'm writing a review so why not. They seat us on a table with a tiny grill and with 5 grown men around it, which can take a long time to cook the meat. Idk maybe that's their AYCE tactic to waste our 90 mins time limit (yea they gave you a time limit too) Overall, it could have been a better experience since the meats are awesome delicious, but the execution of rigging its customer is lame. I guess it is Vegas, you gamble too even if you're trying to eat haha

From out of town and we have to go to this ayce during trips to Vegas. The wait can be extremely long (2+ hr dinner on Fri/Sat), but we plan ahead! Yelp waitlist is nice to reference when planning! We put our name on the list a few hours before we want to eat and it typically works out well! We just go to the shopping plazas nearby to kill time. Haha. We always choose the 'B - Prime' option - decently priced for what you get! We definitely get our moneys worth with just two people. The long wait definitely can deter people, but with the estimated wait times, some planning, and the consistent check ins via text are very helpful!

888 has been our major cheat meal or when we have visitors coming in town. We usually do the premium set which is the Kobe beef. We loved this one as you can get everything and great quality of the meat and the price to us is reasonable ($44.95). It is little disappointing where they limited to 1 order per person but they changed that 2 of the cuts are unlimited now. But it also gave us the chance to try other dishes too. The most recent visit over the weekend, I have noticed they added some new meats & appetizers. So decided to try them and they were great. My friends even their daughter approved too. We were able to try the snow crab appetizer, tonkashu ramen (which is a lot bigger bowl from what I remember), baby octopus, and s'more. S'more was definitely super fun to make but we ordered way too much food we only have space for 2 s'more. Now that I know they offer that will have room for more dessert. I loved the fact that they limited to certain amount of orders of the sides/ appetizers/ meats at a time so you don't over order or feel overwhelmed as we all know it happened a lot for all you can eat. Service here is always so great & attentive. They would always come by to pick up empty plates & checked on our grill to see if need to be changed. This place is very spacious and lots of sitting areas but they always have long lines especially on weekends. So if you do come during weekend make sure you put yourself on their waitlist on yelp to save time from waiting. I saw they are opening another 888 located on Eastern in Henderson. I am excited as it is super close to me and would be convenient if I want to take my out of town visitors to this place. Overall, great place if you want great meal.

First time here and won't be our last. We did the $45pp and with the Kobe items, snow crab, poke, toro, worth it for us. A bit dim for even at noon, but the place was already full of ppl. By the time we left at 2pm, there was a line of ppl on a Friday. Great service. Lots of variety. Premium meats. A variety of condiments to enjoy. Changed our grill when asked. Didn't fell rushed. Enjoyed a nice lunch with our friends.

Although there was an hour wait on a Thursday night, the wait here at 888 Japanese BBQ was so worth it. Our server, Kyle, explained the process which was very streamlined. Ordering 5 items from each section is a great way to pace yourself while trying different options. It was nice having a side table for extra space. We did the Prime menu, which we found to be plentiful and worth the price. Meats were definitely high quality and were not overloaded with marinades. However, we found that pretty much all the sushi rolls we got were doused in the same spicy mayo and eel sauce. They tasted good, but made the rolls taste similar to each other. I would've loved to see sashimi options as that is usually what I prefer for AYCE sushi. I loved how the sides given such as the Serrano peppers were plenty. I probably finished about 3/4 of it as it was a nice touch to the charred meats. Although I'm not in Vegas often, I would definitely come back as the Prime menu was super worth it. I'm glad Vegas food doesn't always have to make your pockets hurts!

It's been awhile since I've been back here and this place never disappoints. My friends and I came here around 9PM and the wait time wasn't so bad. I do know this place gets really busy to the point where you may have to wait more than an hour. The great thing is, is that you can add yourself to the waiting list on yelp. There are three different tiers you can choose from. We chose menu B since we found ourselves to eat more of whats on there.This menu alone, has a huge selection of sushi and BBQ items. Friends and I are into beef tongue, yakiniku shabu beef, flavored pork bellies, and short ribs so we ordered a lot of those. I love how this place offers different types of dipping sauces and sides to go with your meats. My personal favorite is the miso paste so I can slightly dip protein with it. My friends loved the butter dipping sauce and the cheese fondue. The meat and sushi were good quality for the price and our server was attentive and quick to check in with us. I love how they change our grill frequently. This place is pretty spacious and has a bar too. We also ended up trying out their beer mixed with yuzu and it was so refreshing! Our server gave us some ice cream to try out too and that thai tea ice cream... amazing! Love this place so much and will come back to try their kobe menu.

Love this place! My husband and I came here for dinner and it was priced pretty well for the Kobe menu. We ate all the premium items and more. Our sever Mari was great! She was super friendly and quick! The ambiance is average, we enjoyed eating here. I'd bring a sweater if you get cold easily like me lol We'll definitely be coming back!

This is one of those times when Yelp! did not disappoint. Our experience with 888 met all of our expectations! The variety and quality of the meats, and all the sides, sauces, and extra dishes were fantastic! And to top it off, those smoke-less grills are a game changer! We didn't smell a bit of smoke when we stepped outside that we decided to head on out elsewhere instead of going back to the hotel! I have been telling friends and family in the area about this place and already looking forward to visiting again the next time we're in Vegas!

Late Post: Simply the best Japanese BBQ in town. Best meat cuts, they are not all paper thin. They have Kobe beef marbled in fat, it is so good. Second visit and won't be the last. Service has always been wonderful. They have (3) amazing dipping sauces. Plethora of sides to choose from. If you are looking for AYCE this was worth every penny!

I love me some AYCE bbq. This exceeded every expectation. And it was a high bar set before we came. We had the prime menu and it was perfect. Offerings of NYStrip filet mignon beef belly pork belly LA Galbi. Their sauces where surprising. I hate spicy but my favorite was the Wasabi sauce (go figure) The service was also top notch. Our first waitress remembered our entire order even when we tried to stump her. People kept coming back to check on us! The atmosphere was chill. Casual and comfortable but I highly suggest you wear something that you don't mind being smelly! It's my favorite bbq perfume!

YUM. So worth traveling from the strip for! And TBH, I prefer this place over other buffets I've been to in Vegas. There are 3 tiers you can pick from - A, B, C. Each tier has more options you can order that the previous tier excludes. We went with the B tier, and everything was absolutely delicious! The price is reasonable too. We loved that there were many options to pick from, including ban chan, sushi, soups, and ofc.. the MEAT! 90 min eating time which honestly, we probably could have stayed longer :P We did have a large group of 10+ though. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free ice cream too!

Pretty popular japanese style bbq ayce in chinatown. Pros - friendly service and good selection of meats and side dishes. Good drink menu as well. Fast service and they also include unlimited smores which was unique. Cons - it is a busy place so be sure to put yourself on the waitlist ahead of time! The parking area is a bit shady with history of break-ins so be sure to take all your valuables. Great ayce place for japanese bbq.

Flew in for a quick conference. Took some friends and business partners for the premium AYCE experience. Get the premium limited items for sure. Super worth, the meat is super fresh and tender. Their tamagotchi egg is also surprisingly good. The wait was long so make sure you plan ahead of time. Deducted one star because before their closing time, one of my friends asked for hot water, the male waiter told us that they ran out of hot water . Eventually, after a couple of tries, the female waitress said it was ridiculous so she brought us hot water. We made sure she got tipped well for that :). A great spot for family gathering and party. Good for second date but not recommended for first date cuz it's a little loud inside and lights are too bright.

Tip: plan on checking in and then go explore until you are called. Good food with good value always comes with a long wait time! We came here on a Sunday afternoon and we had to wait almost 2 hours. We made the best of the 2 hours by going to the bar! Refresh yourself with a mojito or sangria, both were delicious! It seems like every time I look, a new AYCE sushi/bbq restaurant pops up. The meat quality was good, and the price was reasonable. The selections were sufficient, and the service was friendly and timely. Besides the long wait, this place was good.

Our party of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday lunch at 888. Excellent service and the quality of the meats were top notch. We opted for the Kobe option ($44.95) because we all wanted the kobe beef. Perfect marbling and tenderness - unfortunately, you can only order 1 per person :( The marinated prime kalbi & kobe beef carpaccio (also limited to 1 order), kobe beef bell, kobe fatty rib and beef tongue were all delicious as well. Some of our friends also ordered the ramens (spicy garlic crunch) and they liked them too. Tip: If you have a big party, get here right when it opens to avoid a long wait. Check in on Yelp for a free ice cream (sooo many flavors!)

This restaurant was 50 mins bus ride away from the Stripe and took 2 buses to get here. It's a lot farther than I thought. The issue is the Yelp waitlist wasn't opened at 12 noon this past Saturday, but when we got there at 12:30pm, the waitress said it'll be an 1.5 hours wait. We almost left but decided to wait. Thank God we were seated by 1:40pm. My advice is to keep trying to get on the Yelp wait list if you come later than noon. I was planning to get here at 11:30am, but we woke up late and kept missing the buses. It's probably not worth it to take the buses here from the Stripe cause it's too much hassle. We picked the middle tier and spent around $43 each including taxes and tips. Drinks are not included but they give you s'mores for dessert at the end. The sushi was good but mainly it's CA roll with the salmon on top for salmon roll... I recommend them to list out what's in the roll. The pics are too small to see what some of the rolls mean. Like when I asked the server why isn't there lobster in the lobster roll, he said there isn't any. What is Samurai Roll and Kiss of Fire roll? I wanted to ask but didn't end up ordering those after ordering the unagi, salmon, and dragon rolls. There isn't much seafood except mainly crab legs, salmon roll, unagi roll, shrimp tempura, squid, octopus, and shrimp. The meat was really yummy though especially with the fire grill!

Our hostess was very sweet and kind the moment we walked in. Didn't get her name, but she had a cute white and pink hair clip. We only waited for what seemed like less than 30m and the estimated was 1.5hrs when I used the yelp app. Our hostess led us to the bar to which we had John make a delicious Calpico Highball. He was very poised, very, courteous, very demure. Althea did phenomenal job for my first time at 888 as our waitress. She came in less than a minute to take our order and gave great recommendations and info about the menu. All the proteins we ordered were delicious. Not too sweet, salty, or chewy. Althea was able to get us through multiple courses and her patience was appreciated. I love the music and decor of the area. The grill is my favorite part of the restaurant. It gives the perfect maillard compared to the dome shaped pan. For the price it's a must try and the reviews and ratings are well deserved.

AMAZING. This has entered in the top tiers of ayce bbq places of all time for me. Soooo many meat options, sushi, and sides; good luck trying them all! The wait is usually long but our group of 8 got extremely lucky on a Saturday night as we went late at night around 10pm. Huge place so was great for our group of 8. Come as hungry as you can! 10/10 will definitely be back!

Great spot!! Long wait and the Yelp queue isn't always available. We had to go in physically to add ourselves to the list and just killed some time by checking out nearby market. I prefer Korean over Japanese side dishes, so I'm biased towards 888 KBBQ. Of course, there are great meats and options here! We accidentally set the grill on fire cause of the drippings from all the beef belly we ate lol... Super kind staff to the rescue before our eyebrows burned off.

Went for a family member's 83rd birthday. Very good food, everything is fresh. The meat selection is good. The service was professional and responsive until the end when the manager said they needed our table. There is a 90-minute time limit and we were there for 75 minutes, mostly while our family member finished her ice cream. Good food with service that left a really bad taste in my mouth.

888 Japanese Bbq used to be a GyuKaku (as can be seen by the grills/utensils). We came here as a group of 4 for dinner on a Thursday & joined the yelp waitlist beforehand. We got to the restaurant on time & waited about 10 minutes to be seated. We optioned for the Kobe set for $45/per person which was definitely worth it! Our favorite cuts were the Kobe Beef, marinated prime Kalbi, and the fillet. All of these cuts, minus the fillet were only available with the Kobe Set. For AYCE, it was definitely worth it & the quality was better than expected. All the sushi options come with the mid tier option (Prime Option at $34 a person) & we really liked the dynamite + kiss of death. The sushi comes out with smaller portion sizes which I appreciated because it let us try more things. Service was quick & efficient which helped because you could only order 3 items per person at a time. There's a limit to certain apps with the Kobe set like the snow crab/kobe beef carpaccio but honestly it wasn't amazing so not bummed. This is a great place to come - price point to value is fantastic & like the other reviews say, the ambiance is on point!

Food is always good. I tend to pick the middle option, prime whenever coming. Not saying the other two options aren't great, because they are. I'm just not all hyped about Kogi meat. But, all meat/sushi choices are great. The meats are evenly flavored. I definitely love the open fire grill concept. It just makes the meat taste so much better. And you can't forget to save room for s'mores. It's technically one per person ( chocolate & graham crackers) but we were able to ask for more marshmallows. Always ask the server first, if allowed. The service is always on point. Every server we have gotten tended to us at good timely manners. The food comes out quickly. The staff are always bubbly and friendly. We always leave full and happy. The ambiance is good. It can get crazy for dinner, but what place isn't. There is a waitlist, and I advise to do it as early as possible. It gets pretty packed quickly.

This is worth your money and definitely a place you should make reservations for if you're coming with a large party. Otherwise, it can get very busy. This is an all you can eat Japanese BBQ spot and it's very popular. The meat cut selection was delicious and plentiful. The meat weren't too fatty like other AYCE places i have been to. There were so many options to choose from on the menu from meats to seafood. There are some sushi selection as well which were also pretty good. Just overall, this is a good spot to visit if you're in Vegas. It's off the strip so you can always take a ride share to get here if you don't have a car.

Friendly service AND great food! Can't go wrong here Really surprised at how many good dishes they have at reasonable prices. Especially for AYCE. Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in Asian style BBQ. FOOD: Great variety at this place with an abundance of beef and pork. They do have some chicken and a nice selection of veggies (although I don't know if you would feel you got your money's worth with all veggies). Nice selection of sides and appetizers too. Fried gyoza was tasty and the chicken karaage was moist and delicious. I loved the corn cheese even though it was simple. My favored cuts were the kobe beef, fatty kobe ribs, and the kalbi. But they were all good. Take note that kobe dishes are limited to one per person. SERVICE: Excellent! We had Shane and he was attentive and on top of things all the time and quite friendly. Someone should give him a raise. The dishes were excellent and the portions were sizeable. You can order five at a time which is more than most places Let you so that was great. COST: For AYCE this was very well priced! I love that they end the meal with s'mores! Pro tip: use the yelp check in before you come. We waited almost an hour and a half but it was worth it.

I've been wanting to try 888 Japanese BBQ for the longest time. We finally got to come here! My husband and I had such a good time. They have different grades of AYCE that you can choose from. First is the lowest tier which is $27/person. You can get endless pork belly, jidori chicken, and some other things. There was basically no beef in this tier other than ribeye or NY steak (depends on the day for which you get to choose) and you can only order it once. The middle tier is $33/person and this one includes all sorts of beef on top of the things offered in the lower tier. You can only order prime bistro hanger steak, filet mignon, prime harami miso once. There are more sushi roll options, and you can choose salmon carpaccio and snow crab once. The final tier is $43/person and in this one you can even order kobe beef and prime kalbi. For what we wanted, we were happy with the middle tier. Our favorites included the LA kalbi and prime fatty rib, both of which were limitless. We also enjoyed the prime harami miso, salmon carpaccio, and snow crab but you could only order those once. We loved the selection of sides and endless veggies. We didn't bother with the sushi rolls, as most of them included imitation crab, which just wasn't worth the stomach space. Overall, we had a really good experience at 888. I think it is worth it to go for the middle and high tiers if you like beef. I felt the price was justified by the quality of the food. Service was actually really phenomenal. Sometimes AYCE just leaves customers hanging and you're stuck waiting for service, which is especially annoying when there's a time limit. But our waiter checked up on us frequently and food was always brought out fast. You even get free ice cream if you check in on yelp! Definitely one of our new favorite BBQ places. We will come back.

I had been denied entry here due to max capacity a few times so my expectations may have been high. I had also heard some good verbal reviews. However the food was not top notch. Neither was the service. Hard to hear our waiter (it was loud and he whispered) and my guests I was treating were a little older so not able to read the menu. It wasn't the best or the worst. It didn't meet my expectations as busy as they are on the regular.

Fantastic. Literally the best ayce experience I've had. The meat quality is beyond. Their sides and appetizers are vast! Tons of sauces, all sorts of veggies for grilling, loads of meat and super tasty rolls! The Kobe is worth every dollar. Melts in your mouth, truly indulgent. Super excited about this place, the staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean! They know how to run the show! Thank you for a lovely experience!

Always love stopping at 888 whenever in Vegas. Love the calm atmosphere and intimate dining experience. Wonderful service as always. During this visit the food was flying out! The servers would keep up with our multiple orders. If you don't make it right at opening time I would recommend joining the waitlist through yelp. It'll save your place in line while you're on your way over. Make sure to check in with the host once you arrive. My parents love coming here and filling up on all their hearts desires. I love seeing their excitement for all 888 has to offer. We actually were seated in the same spot as the last visit. It brightened our experience that much more. We will keep coming back with every Vegas visit. Let your server know if you check in on Yelp. You'll get some complimentary ice cream!

888 Japanese BBQ offers the best premium All You Can Eat! You'll find them on Decatur and Spring Mountain. There's plenty of parking. This restaurant is very busy and has a lively atmosphere. They operate as first come, first serve. It is highly recommended to go on the waitlist especially after 4pm, the wait is around 1 to 2 hours. Inside has ample seating and a bar. They offer three kinds of menu: Angus ($27.95), Prime ($33.95), and Kobe ($44.95), which also includes a selection of sushi, appetizer, sides, and ramen. I chose Prime, it has one of the most requested items, plus the selection offered is favorable, and price is reasonable. Each person is alloted 90 minutes for dine-in, and they will bring five meats and vegetables at a time. There are a few items that is limited to one order per person. From the grill, prime harami miso is super tender and flavorful, especially the miso pork belly, and LA kalbi, so good! It taste amazing with wasabi sushi rice. I also had king oyster mushroom, sweet corn, zucchini, and pineapple, these are fantastic with meat, and really enhance the grill experience, I love it! For appetizer, chicken karaage is savory and delicious! Cream cheese wonton is nice and creamy, and fried gyoza is also good and tasty! Dessert include s'mores, which is really nice! They remove the top grill so that the marshmellow can roast over the flame. It doesn't take long for the marshmellow to get charred and gooey, and it's a great treat with chocolate and graham crackers, so yummy! Other sweets available are macaron ice cream sandwich ($4.95 each), there's vanilla, chocolate, mango, strawberry, and green tea. They also have mini ice cream flavors and with Yelp check-in, you get one free ice cream! Service is excellent and wonderful! Staff is very attentive, welcoming, friendly, courteous, and efficient.

A well priced AYCE BBQ place you have to try when you are in town! Service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive. Good price and good service already earned them 4 star in my opinion. The food quality was quite a pleasant surprise. They were all well prepared, different from your typical AYCE BBQ restaurant. The inside of the restaurant seems more like a club to me. Haha. Instead of spending your dollars on those casino buffets, I recommend you to come try this restaurant. 888 Japanese BBQ please keep up the good work! Love to visit again soon.

This is my absolute favorite BBQ spot in Vegas! The quality in meat is consistently so amazing. The only problem is the waitlist so you definitely have to plan ahead. Both times I've gone there has been over a two hour wait so I'd join the waitlist then stay in the area as there is a very short grace period once it's your turn (5 minutes). If you are able to get inside, you will not be disappointed! Surprisingly, I've always sat at same table. I love that it's never smoky and although it's packed you never feel crowded inside. We ordered the Kobe set which is 44.95 per person and the quality is worth it. The exclusive cuts of Kobe in the set are what sets this place apart and there is no limit to how many you can order. If you don't mind the wait this place is consistently amazing!

888 Japanese BBQ is hands down the best ayce bbq in the city. Coming from someone who lived in K-town in LA for years, that's saying a lot. The kalbi is so tender it practically melts in your mouth. Beef belly? Keep it coming. My belly gave it a standing ovation. Pork jowl is the kind of indulgence that makes you question why you ever settled for bacon. Beef ribs are so juicy that I could eat that all night and still regret nothing. But honestly, everything is really good, so just order what your heart desires. Or what your stomach desires. Let's be real, the stomach is running the show here. The service is top notch. Just ask if you don't know what something is or need recommendations. They won't laugh at you for not knowing your meat cuts. Ambiance is great. Feels very high-end for a reasonable price. Take some friends here and you'll get to feel like a baller without having to sell a kidney to pay the bill.

Prime Tier - $28.95 By far, the best AYCE Japanese BBQ l've ever had! It's been forever since l've had premium quality beet at an amazing price!! The servers were extremely attentive and even gave us complimentary tea, which I am definitely ordering again next time. The best thing is that the ventilation system is great, and after eating, I didn't feel or smell gross as l usually do at most BBQ spots. Also, pretty sure the last time I came, they didn't have a reservation system, but they recently opened a waitlist on Yelp; we waited for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I will definitely be coming here every time I'm in Vegas! @gabxeatz

From start to finish was a great experience. Was able to join the waitlist without physically being there so that saved time on waiting. Ordered from the angus menu and my favorite was the beef belly. Reminded me of being in Japan. The cucumber was very good too. You get a limit of 1 ribeye/New York per person. There's an assortment of sides and sauces to accommodate any tastebuds. Will definitely be back again in the future. Prices are very reasonable at just $28 for the lowest tier to $45 for the highest.

I highly recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. They offer a wide variety of dishes, including meats, sushi, and appetizers. The service was quick, with food arriving promptly after we ordered. For an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) spot, the quality of the meat was impressive. I've tried beef tongue before and wasn't a big fan, but here it was so good I ordered eight portions! They were fast with our first two rounds of orders, though service slowed a bit by the third and fourth. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd recommend it for group lunches or dinners.

Such a gem! It was a very busy Saturday evening. I use Yelp online waitlist since 6:10pm, then went to Rio hotel to play a round of mini golf, 140 minutes after, we got our notifications that our table is ready. Perfect timing! I loved the Calpico Mojito! For food, oh mine, everything was very fresh and tasty. Tuna poke is a must from colder things. Harami was the best item in my opinion from the bbq menu. We will be back!

Food service and ambiance was nothing shy of amazing! We went on a Saturday night and was seated fairly quickly for a large party (I highly recommend using the waitlist feature on Yelp!) You will not be disappointed with the experience nor price

We were doing some school shopping at fashion show mall and got hungry.... So we headed to Chinatown!! We tried to come here a while back and the wait was just too long. Finally today it was only 30/45 minutes! Hooorraaayy! We were seated picked one of the three menu options. We choose the prime 'menu. It's the middle choice option. There's one cheaper and one more expensive. The selection of rolls, appetizers, and meats were stellar. We tried a good 7 different meats. Had to get a variety of veggies too! The butter garlic was delicious. This was our first time and we will definitely be returning !

Came by on a Thursday afternoon. It was fairly busy and we had luckily jumped on the waitlist prior. 3 different tiers to choose from their AYCE menu. We decided on the middle option. Started with the few "order only once" items and was very pleased with the quality of the items. Loved the marinated crab! Meats, sushi, appetizers, and sides were nicely done. Definitely felt we got our value for our meal! Service was attentive the whole time as well. Highly recommend this place!
