Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House 味喜屋 | Flushing

I was really excited when I heard that Mikiya finally opened in NYC since I had such a great experience at their California location and heard so many good things about it from friends. Unfortunately, I left a bit disappointed after my visit here. My group ordered the Diamond Set, and given the price point, we were expecting to be wowed. Instead, many items fell short. The seafood hibachi (abalone, scallop, shrimp) and the wagyu rib eye brisket shoulder were overcooked, which really took away from the enjoyment. The wagyu rib eye was especially disappointing--the waitress didn't even ask how we wanted it cooked, and it came out so overdone that I could only bring myself to eat one piece. Such a waste considering the quality of the cut. The wagyu tartare with avocado also missed the mark. At the California location, it's served differently instead of avocado it is with egg yolk. I really think all locations should stay consistent, especially when it comes to signature dishes. On the positive side, each cut of meats were delicious, and the broth was rich and flavorful. But overall, the experience felt just average, especially compared to California. For the price, I expected much more consistency and care in execution.

The beef hot pot here is absolutely amazing! 🩷🩷🩷 Everything is fresh and full of flavor. The staff are super attentive, and the prices are very reasonable. I’m obsessed with the beef, and the oysters are unbelievably fresh. you don’t even need a dipping sauce because the meat and seafood taste incredible on their own. I’ll definitely be back!

Dining at Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House was truly an exceptional experience that highlights both premium ingredients and attentive service. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Leon and Jay in particular went above and beyond—securing us a great table and taking the time to walk us through the menu and dining process with clarity and warmth. Their professionalism and attentiveness set the tone for the evening and ensured that we could fully enjoy the meal without any confusion. We selected the Diamond Wagyu Set, and it exceeded every expectation. The standout of the night was the Japanese A5 Wagyu chuck ribeye, which was nothing short of phenomenal. Its marbling, tenderness, and depth of flavor demonstrated why A5 Wagyu is considered among the finest cuts in the world. The wagyu brisket was equally impressive, offering a different texture while still delivering that rich, melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes wagyu so extraordinary. Another highlight was the bone marrow, which added a luxurious richness to the broth and elevated the overall dining experience. The side dishes deserve special mention as well. Each was thoughtfully prepared to complement the wagyu and create a well-rounded, balanced meal. From fresh vegetables to flavorful accompaniments, everything contributed to a cohesive and satisfying shabu shabu experience. Beyond the food, what truly distinguishes Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House is the seamless combination of quality and hospitality. The staff’s knowledge and care, combined with the premium selection of ingredients, make this restaurant a destination for anyone who values authentic Japanese dining at its finest. Overall, Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House delivers an unparalleled shabu shabu experience where world-class wagyu and outstanding service come together. Whether you are a seasoned wagyu enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this is a restaurant that will leave a lasting impression.

⭐️ Overpriced, Overhyped, and Now With a Smaller Menu This was my second visit to this restaurant, about a year apart, and unfortunately the experience has gone downhill—while the price stayed the same. I came specifically for their premium menu, which previously included unlimited grilled lobster tails, lamb chops, and some other items. As soon as we sat down and requested lobster tail, the server informed us that they no longer offer grilled lobster tail or lamb chops. The explanation given—that this change was to “better focus on the wagyu menu”—made little sense at all. How do you focus more on the wagyu beef menu... It just felt like an excuse rather than the real reason (reducing value to the customer. In reality, the menu has simply been reduced while the Premium price remains about $100 per person. PAYING MORE FOR LESS For seafood, the “premium” selection consisted of just two lobsters(one time depending how many guest), abalone, shrimp, sliced fish, and oysters. The rest was the different slices of wagyu beef and vegetables, shrimp tempura, bone marrow. Drinks were limited to fountain sodas, green milk tea, and a couple of others not worth mentioning—nothing impressive for the price point. They did have Häagen-Dazs ice cream dessert as dessert. To make matters worse, when we tried to place a LARGE second round of orders, we were told it was already the last call. Although the restaurant advertises 90 minutes of dining time, we were told that you really only get one hour to order, with the remaining time meant just for eating. For a meal costing roughly $100 per person ($500 total for four people after tax and tip), being cut off from ordering early felt unacceptable—especially when the restaurant was not busy and our tea was only refilled once the entire meal. The server should have made it clear to us that we only get 1 hour to order and the last 30 min to dine only. I woudnt have drop $500 for 1 hour. In short: you’re paying premium prices for a small menu, 60 minute limited ordering time, and average service. My advice: call ahead to check which items are actually included before you go, or you may end up paying far more than the experience is worth. What you see in the photos is mostly the highlight and what you will be getting. The only thing premium was the price. I will definitely not return to eat again.

Loving this AYCE Waygu Shabu House. The quality is good for the meats. They had a special where we got live lobster and it was so sweet. There was abalone, oysters and fish slices was good. The snow crab was lacking but it's frozen so it is what it is with that one. The vegetables selection was very good and fresh. I ended up joining the membership for the year because I plan on coming back here. Our server was very nice and pleasant young man. We are sat right up front. Didn't know there was a back section. Will ask to sit in the back next time.

Came by today on my birthday. Ester served us and did a wonderful job taking care of us. The quality of the seafood and A5 wagyu were absolutely fabulous. Everything was well done, and we’ll definitely be back

Definite come in hungry but beware when you eat too much wagyu (super fatty- you will easily feel full), make sure you drink a lot of water and take breaks by consuming their tropical fruits. Truly love their bone marrows and i would suggest to try their already cooked ground wagyu curry and sliced wagyu over rice. There were 4 tiers and we chose the third tiers. Honestly would change my mind for the second tiers but I was treating my friend for their med school graduation.

My fave shabu shabu spot in flushing! Always come here once or twice a month. Worth every penny. Good quality of meat and seafood is so fresh. Didn’t take much pictures because I’m busy enjoying my meal. The service is excellent.

This was my first time coming to this hotpot, surely got a good deal. I got the Gold package and it came out to 158 for 2, but it was worth the buck. I got a variety of fresh seafood from lobster to crab, oysters, fish & scallops. Alongside the shrimp. Unlimited drinks was my favorite part definitely got about 6 refills lol. The meat was just absolutely great, the service was incredible. Never once felt like I was asking any stupid questions and we were attended to quite fast. I came on a late night Saturday, not too many people so it felt quite good and peaceful. Complimentary ice cream was my favorite. So many sides to choose from like shrimp tempura, fries, chicken bites & more! The broth itself from the soup was just great, and the vegetable & sauce station were so pretty.

Everything was good. The broth was delicious Our server was super sweet checking on us every so often. Helped us on what's the best choices and the ambiance felt like you are no longer in flushing but somewhere else.

A disappointing dinner. Flushing Location. See menu on their website for details. Ordered Diamond set ($98 per person) since "ALL PARTIESS are required to have the same type of set price" This was NOT worth the price at all. Wagyu was un-seasoned and not cooked properly. EXTREMELY well done for wagyu, losing its flavor completely. Please hire someone who knows how to cook Wagyu! Seafood platter looks well arranged but wasn't great. You get a small lobster, abalone, shrimp, oyster, crab legs - sounds amazing? Doesn't taste amazing. Soup base was lacking. can't tell what, just lacking. Why does a hot pot place not have peanut sauce? This brings down the entire experience - sauce makes the food! Self serve unlimited drinks (sodas, water, tea, calpico) unlimited vegetables, tofu, shrimp paste/fish paste/meat balls Complimentary dessert Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Definitely would not go back and would NOT recommend anyone to come here.

Ok went back today nov 1st 2025... prices are the same... but u get less! So I had to update the rating. The value used to be so much better for the diamond set... now even when paying for the diamond set(price still the same as it was) u don't really get the unlimited specialty dishes like they used to offer, instead u just choose 5 per person. Also they removed a bunch of items. Crab legs and the oven baked lobsters were just some that were removed. Nigiri's are gone. Didn't know they switched it up like 1.5 months ago... So basically, u pay the same but less than what they used to offer. This is the worst trick of most ayce spots... it sucked that they had to do the same... too bad I would went more often if it was the old formula... this is why I went back today... but just bc of the menu change, not sure I'd come back as often.

Such good quality meats with a good mix of fat and protein. Service was quick and fast. It is on the expensive side--with 4 tiers, but I think the classic is the most bang for your buck. Food quality is pretty consistent with their other locations. They do let you take home an ice cream so that was a nice added touch.

Food is ok but service is getting worse!! Last time I was there with family, the servers were harder to get a hold of, bus boys cleaning up the table spilled most of the hot oil on the chair next to me while removing the overflow container from our table!! Floor by the stair case was super slippery that anyone going up & down can slip easily!!! Public utensils were dirty with old dried up grease on it!! All was mentioned to the manager, he apologized & moved on as if we were just being annoying!! SMH considering we do have a membership there!! We won't be going back anytime soon that's for sure!! Very disappointed!!

THIS Place is SO Mind Blowing... This Place WILL take You 'Over-Seas' Service is Wonderful and the Place IS just So Clean, Freshest Food and just an Exceptional Pleasure.... aMust GO!!!! and 5 STARS. -YOU'll Thank ME

Service 3/5 Food quality 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 I was so excited to try this place and to my surprise was a little disappointed. The seating arrangements are a little annoying even with reservation or joining the waitlist. Don't get me wrong, the seafood and wagyu is definitely high quality whilst the other areas are not so much as I noticed that the self service area has a few veggie options, however I was a little grossed out from the sauce area, drink area, and bathroom area.

Just flew in from Nola for an anniversary weekend. Came in close to 9PM, waited about 10-15 minutes to be sat. Friendly staff, great waiter (who is local born and raised in Queens. Food was good and really fun experience.

This spot offers AYCE hot pot, sushi, and sashimi depending on the tier you choose. The service is efficient and excellent. The ambiance is great, great lighting, and modern decor. There is sauce bar, fresh fruit bar, ice cream machine, and drink dispense machines. We opted for the silver tier and ordered tons of wagyu & salmon sashimi. As for the appetizers, we got the beef tartare (contains avocado) and raw baby lobsters. We prefer the beef tartare as the lobsters need to be peeled by yourself, and it wasn't that good.

This Miyaki location looks super fancy from the outside, and the interior doesn't disappoint--beautiful lighting, decor, and a chic vibe. We were greeted warmly at the front; service was friendly overall. That said, there are a few things that need some attention. The fruit bar upstairs really needs to be covered--we noticed a few fruit flies, which isn't appetizing. The veggie selection was limited, and there were so many types of mushrooms... which made us wonder what would happen if someone was allergic. For hygiene, please consider using disposable cups at the drink bar. Also, the tables are way too small for all the dishes that come with an all-you-can-eat setup--it got cramped quickly. We went with the Silver Tier, and while the beef was fresh, the portion was tiny. The tom yum broth was way too creamy--felt more like a curry hotpot. The spicy miso broth was also bland, which was disappointing. Seafood was fresh, but the clams were tiny and the fish slices were thinner than my hair. And the lobster? That wasn't a lobster--that was the baby grandchild of a lobster. Like, blink and you'll miss it. We were a party of 3, spent nearly $300, and only had 90 minutes per table. Thing is, the server spent about 30 minutes explaining the menu, and it took forever for the pot to heat up. By the time we were eating, we were already being reminded (multiple times, in front of others!) that our time was almost up. Maybe a timer on each table would help make things less awkward--we definitely felt rushed, and hotpot is meant to be a slow, social meal. Would I come back? Honestly, not at this price. If they bring down the cost and improve the service flow, maybe. But until then, it's a no from me.

Food 4.5/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 I'm usually not the biggest fan of hotpot, but the quality of meat here surprised me, you can taste the tenderness in their wagyu. And the fact that it's all you can eat? Say less! We went with the $78 Gold Menu, which felt worth it for the premium cuts and added seafood specialties like crab legs, sashimi, and wagyu sliders. Also loved the Assam milk tea, rich, deep tea flavor and the fresh fruit selection with watermelon, clementines, pineapple, and peaches was a nice addition!

We went to the Mikiya in Northern California a few times and like the food they offer there, but this place in Flushing in NY is way better for the same price. We went in for dinner and there was no wait or line compared to the California location. The food option is way better where they not only serve Wagyu but also seafood. I know most people come to Mikiya for the Wagyu but since we have the yearly membership, having other options for our visit was a nice touch. We did mostly the Japanese Wagyu but we were mostly focus on the dishes that was not offered at other Mikiya locations which were seafood dishes. The Wagyu was really good like always. The server brought our dishes out pretty quickly which we notice at other mikiya locations and why we don't mind paying extra to eat here. The seafood is fresh. We got the live lobster and it was still twitching so we knew it was not frozen. The lobster was good. My older son was surprise that it was still moving since he never had live seafood served to him at a restaurant before. The crab legs and grilled lobster tails were also good. It helped balance the wagyu so we were switching between the wagyu and seafood every round. I also ordered lamb chops which were tender and had good flavor as well as the nigiri and carpaccio. I wish we were able to try everything on the menu but I guess that's an excuse to cone back to visit later. If you like Mikiya and are in NY for a visit, I really recommend the one in Flushing. There are other locations in NYC but they do not have the seafood option when I checked the menu on Yelp. I wish they will bring this extensive menu in the future to their other locations since the price you pay for is well worth it. We love the food, service, and ambience here and Mikiya has never steered us wrong. The best part of this location is that the waitlist is not long compared to other locations and reading other reviews, it seems to be consistent and it wasn't just an off day.

This is my number 1 favorite hotpot place. They have a really big space so they can seat a lot, however, it does get really crowded on the weekend so you should make reservations. The staff is really friendly and will explain the menu every time. I go so often now that I only get the basic tier, when I first tried this place I got silver to try their side dishes, but now I think basic items are enough to fill me up. The food seems to be pretty high quality, I enjoy the tomato broth and sukiyaki broth and all the cuts as well as the nigiris. Definitely would recommend this place!

This place is SOOOOO GOOD!!! The quality you get wayyyy surpasses the price. So so so worth it!! The meat was so good that I forgot to take a picture! It was SO buttery and juicy, I think about it at least twice a week. I can't wait to go back!!! Also I love how extensive the menu is, there's just so much to experience. The specialty dishes are so unique and quality. Only thing I was sad about is that they were out of sashimi besides salmon, but that's okay because salmon is my favorite anyways. I like the self serve area as well, makes everything very convenient. You've got to stop in just for experience tbh. The service is prompt and attentive, very welcoming and kind. The overall space is aesthetic and calm. We went during quiet hours, which was very desirable too.

Great quality of wagyu beef. highly recommend this place for their quality meat, they do not have a spicy broth like the sichuan hotpot, all you need is a good quality meat. and you can taste the freshness of the meat that dip in the sukiyaki broth for couple seconds. there are different packages to choose from, we got the silver package which is decent price still have a lot of things included, including unlimited wagyu nigiri, salmon and yellowtail. the Silver package does not include Japanese A5 wagyu but the Australian wagyu is still taste very great. the perfect marble that are thin sliced and melt in your mouth. The broth gets oily after a while you will need to clean out yourself , which i think it can be improved if they waiter can help clean up the blood and oil on top once a while. fruit, appetizer and sauce bar at the corner is very convenient as well. you also get a seafood platter, i would op-out for that , there's nothing special about that platter unless you get the higher pacakge including the abalone. Service was fast, the AYCE seating is only 90mins but they refill fast, and we have no down time when our table didnt have meat.

A friend of mine wanted to check this place out so we brought some people over to give it a shot. So basically this is a AYCE! First thing! Some was questioning that you can do a la carte but there isn't. Just different tiers of what AYCE you can do. Basically Standard tier gets you the basic meats and free veggie station next to the sauce station. Silver has the better cuts of meats and some of the seafood choices. Gold has majority of the meats, all the seafoods, and you can choose 1 of the 7 special dishes per person (1serving) Platinum I think has everything from previous but you can have all of the 7 dishes unlimited on top of everything I mentioned before. I recommend the Gold to get the full experience. Bring friends so you guys can all try the 7 special dishes. Tbh it was just okay on the 7 dishes. As for the meats. Even though its AYCE. It can get filling. So definitely vegg up if you can! They have a veggie bar, drinks bar, sauce bar, and dessert bar. The cuts here seem a lot better then other places I've been to. Definitely taste the "beefiness" of the meats. Some places freeze it to the point where its tasteless! Overall it was a good experience. Would I go back? Tbh. Not really. It's definitely a 1 time try for me but if you're a big fan of hot pot fancy meats this would be the place for you!

The dinner and the food itself was fine, but this place is super shady! My party ordered 3 Gold sets, which is $68 each with membership. In addition, one of us had a birthday, which further reduced the total by $38. Our bill total is $166 ($234-$68) + $14.74 tax. We paid with one credit card and selected 18% gratuity on the iPad. When we looked at the printed receipt later (after we left), it turns out they charged us $44.78 for tips, 27%! I have dined at other Mikiya locations and this has NEVER happened before. I tried calling the restaurant, but the phone is forwarded to some guy who told me he gets 20 +/- calls a day asking about Mikiya even though his number is not the same as what's listed on Yelp or Google. He said Mikiya forwarded their calls to him which sounds very strange. I also messaged the restaurant about this here on Yelp. It's been 10 days and so far no response. I suggest anyone who decide to dine there be sure to check the bill before walking out.

Came here on a Saturday evening. Didn't need a reservation, they seated us right away which was great! We sat upstairs, the waiter was super nice and explained the menu and checked on us constantly! If you ask them, they can provide plastic bags to put your clothes in so they don't end up smelling at the end of your meal. My bf and I got the Diamond Set $98 (all items unlimited) bcus we just wanted to order everything! However as we started ordering, I was quite disappointed that a lot of items were not available. The Diamond is supposed to include unlimited carpaccio and unlimited nigiri, but they didn't have any carpaccio (salmon/yellowtail) and no nigiri (salmon/yellowtail), except for wagyu nigiri. They also didn't have the Norway Lobster from the specialty items list :( I also asked for a pasteurized egg which is supposed to come with the sukiyaki broth, but when they brought it to me, it was this strange watered down egg mixture which I ended up not using. We tried almost everything else and the food was pretty tasty and fresh. What I liked the most were the Japanese A5 Wagyu Chuck ribeye, the bone marrow, and the snow crab chawanmushi. The seafood selection was good. I liked the abalone, scallops and the snow crab. Clams were decent too but some were a bit sandy. Loved the Häagen-Dazs ice-cream at the end. The decor was cute and they had plenty of seating. Unlimited drinks station includes specialty drinks: plum drink, matcha lemonade drink, calpico, and Assam milk tea. There were strawberries and apples next to the drinks. Not sure if it's worth $98, especially if some items were not available. Hesitant to come back again, but was overall satisfied with the food. Maybe will opt for Gold tier instead.

Food - 4.5/5 Came here for the first time with my girlfriend and decided to splurge on the Diamond tier for $98. We got the Sukiyaki broth (5/5) and the house broth (3.5/5). The sukiyaki was flavored well; strong notes of soy with medium sweetness. The meats we dipped in the sukiyaki didn't require extra dipping sauces. The house broth was a tad underflavored, and didn't really taste of much. The A5 Wagyu was 5/5 in quality, taste, and flavor. Our favorite cut was the A5 Chuck Ribeye which had a nice balance of fat and meat. We also got 1 of each of the special items; lobster tail with horseradish sauce 3.5/5; overcooked and horseradish sauce was slightly overpowering, lamb chop 4/5; seasoned and grilled well. Grilled fish 3/5; just plain grilled fish. Service - 5/5 Our waiter was excellent. He explained the menu and the tiers well, provided us with recommendations and was very attentive. We ordered a lot of food and he kept checking up on us to see if we needed more. Ambiance - 4/5 Decor is nice and overall vibe is fitting of a Japanese shabu shabu place. Tables were clean. Dinner crowd was good, wasn't too noisy.

Initially I did not know what to think of this place as it is ayce wagyu shabu. There were different tiers but I went with the basic wagyu set as I felt American wagyu would taste the same as Australian wagyu once it was boiled. However, I did really enjoy the salmon carpaccio and would've enjoyed it in unlimited quantity as part of the silver set. But the basic set sufficed. We didn't get anything from the fried menu so can't speak on that. The unlimited nigiri was alright, order some to try and didn't get anymore. There was quite of bit of rice with the nigiri as well. I recommend scooping out some of the soup into a small bowl so you can enjoy it while you eat without the fattiness from cooking all the meat. I really liked the sukiyaki broth. They had a sauce making station. The unlimited veggies included taro, corn, cabbage, and enoki. They had small bowls of seaweed salad, cold small clams and wasabi octopus which I loved, however they didn't refill these that much. They also had noodles to grab at the bar. The dessert selection was mochi donuts and mini egg tarts and there were dragon fruit and grapes. The drinks were calpico, plum juice, matcha lemonade and milk tea. As someone who loves milk tea, this one wasn't good and I opted out for the plum juice. Service was great, they came by often to ask for additional orders and clear away empty trays. They refilled the broth. The meal ended with either strawberry or vanilla ice cream from Haagen Daz. There was an option for Taiwanese vanilla ice cream. Came out to be $58/person after tax and tip for the basic set.

Food (1.5/2): They definitely deliver on their main selling point (which is in their name). Good options for even the basic AYCE option. Great offering for choices of the one-per-person menu items. I particularly like that they don't shy away from offering good cuts of the wagyu. While you get to make your own sauce and they do provide a decent amount of selection, I was really disappointed that their sesame sauce (the brown one) is very runny, which suggests a rather excessive dilution of the sauce. For shabu-shabu, I'm used to seeing these sauces to be on the thicker side, similar to a creamy half-and-half in consistency. Another negative is their wagyu don and curry don--very salty and looks incredibly unappetizing (though the taste ends up being pretty decent). Granted, these dish aren't their selling point anyways. Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): We had reserved a spot so the wait time wasn't too long. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. They were able to recommend the best "route" for first-timers and delivered on their recommendations. I reduced a point because my partner had noted that the ladies' bathroom was unfortunately very dirty when I went (let's say there's a surprising amount of "splatters"). Not sure if this is the norm for them but at the very least, the mess was cleaned expediently after multiple complaints from customers. Price (0.5/1): For the things they serve, it's a reasonable value though I had hoped there were a bit more option on the meat. Otherwise great and should come with empty bellies to eat your worth.

Mikiya opened not too long ago right next to Wagyu Palace. While both restaurants spotlights wagyu, Mikiya is hot pot while Wagyu Palace is BBQ. After reading reviews for both spots, I decided to go to Mikiya because of the negative reviews for Wagyu Palace's service. Mikiya's reviews were the opposite -- praised for their attentive service. I say all this because when I actually went to Mikiya, my experience was the complete opposite from what I expected/what I read. I made a reservation for 4 at 5:30pm on a Thursday. We arrived early at 4:30pm and waited by the front for the host. No greeting when we arrived. He was on the phone but proceeded to answer two calls without at least acknowledging us or told us to wait. Obviously he saw us waiting because when we walked outside for a bit, he looked up from the phone, thinking we were leaving. Finally after like 10-15 mins of waiting for him, I told him we had a reservation but was early. We had to wait another 5-10 minutes for him to set up our table. We were seated right by the stair area where there was a bit of a draft coming in and it was cold. We chose the silver level set ($55/pp) which includes unlimited selected Wagyu meat, carpaccio, nigiri and select seasonal seafood. If you become a member, pricing is discounted. Each person also got to select one specialty dish. The sweet shrimp was big and sooo buttery. It was really good. The unlimited nigiri was also delicious and dare I say best part of my meal. Really annoyed that we kept ordering the yellowtail nigiri but it just never came. I think they probably didn't have it but the server should've told us that. There's an appetizer, veggie and fruit station but it was barely stocked. Also comes with unlimited drinks with a soda foundation, plum teas, etc. I thought the milk tea was really good. Overall, our meal was good, food was good but the service was mediocre. Some of the stuff we ordered took a while to come. Our waiter barely smiled or said much. The host from the beginning came over and told us we had to order our last round, which was strange since we had at least 30-45 minutes left of the 90 min dining limit. We ordered one last round of nigiri since we were pretty full by then. That last round took a while to even come and our server even came and asked us if we wanted to order anything else, which made us go huh? Since the host said we had to order last round. Anyways, another lady came by shortly while we were waiting for the nigiri and asked us if we still wanted our nigiri before someone brought it over. Of course, we still want our food ... what?? Anyways, that was weird. Overall, we were just caught off guard with the bad service here despite all the good reviews. But I guess there's always that one bad review, right? For $55 pp, i think you do get a decent amount of good quality meats and seafood but during the time i went, there seemed to be items that weren't available. I'm glad i tried this at least once, but would i pay for a membership or come back? Probably not.

Finally got a chance to try this spot out! There are several packages you can choose from, each one giving you a different amount of AYCE options. Our server was awesome and explained every option to us. We ended up going with the Gold set for $78 a person. With the Gold set, you can only get 1 order of the Japanese A5 wagyu chuck ribeye & shoulder cut, but the Australian wagyu and the Japanese wagyu brisket are AYCE. You can also get a bunch of different seafood options. There is a ton of variety too when it comes to the vegetables, sides, fruits, and drinks too - which included calpico and milk tea! Overall, it was a great experience. It's definitely on the more expensive side but worth a try.

Wow, pleasantly surprised with this AYCE hot pot spot! There are 4 different tiers you can choose from: Basic, Silver, Gold, & Diamond. Everyone in your table has to get the same tier. We ordered the silver tier & it was more than enough! It came out to be $70 after tip and tax. ORDER THE SUKIYAKI BROTH - a must. Silver tier comes with Australian & American Wagyu, Nigiri (my fave was the Wagyu & Salmon), Carpaccio, seafood (clams, scallop, shrimp), appetizers, and one special dish - I ordered the lobster tail. There is a self serve bar for veggies, noodles, drinks, and fruits. There is also a sauce bar but we barely used our sauce cuz the sukiyaki broth was so flavorful. We ended with Haagan-Dazs ice cream (vanilla and strawberry). We were all STUFFED at the end!! Overall, the value for the quality of food you get is amazing!! You only get 90 minutes to dine so be ready to EAT.

Best hotpot I've ever had honestly and I've had a lot of hotpot since it's my favorite thing to eat! The service was 10/10 and the ambiance was so beautiful!

Honestly go early to get the best experience. We got there at noon and the food was so fresh and delicious. The service was very quick and attentive and the place wasn't fully packed so there was no wait. Everything is delicious. Unlimited milk tea and fountain drinks are pretty much worth it on their own. Having as much Wagyu as you'd like for hot pot is a dream. The hot plates are great too. The place also is designed well. It feels like you're having great night market food. Will definitely be coming back.

I came to this place 2 times! I really like the food and layout of this restaurant. I have been to the Mikiya in Manhattan but it does not compare to this Flushing Mikiya. The first time I got the basic set (just to see how the food and service are) and the second time I got the diamond set. The flushing one has a unlimited drink station that you can fill yourself. They got a great selection including milk tea. They also have a station for sauce, and side dishes, and desserts. However, the desserts kept running out and I never got to try them. Both times I came to this AYCE waygu restaurant, I didn't have to wait long. We were seated very fast but the first time I was here it was very packed. Therefore the the service was slower and my food came out slower (which I completely understand). However, the I had to remind the server 3 times about the the last call food order I placed because it never came out. We really enjoyed the diamond set because we got unlimited specialty dish. I love seafood was that was amazing. It would be better if they didn't overcooked the lobster tail thou. The best meat cut was the Japanese A5 ribeye. My table kept ordering that cut but there were times when the server secretly place another type of meat on our table. We had to call it out later on because they did that to us a few times. They were nice about it and apologized. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and I plan to come back.

An AYCE wagyu hotpot spot that is pretty good for what you pay. You can choose whichever price point you prefer with the higher levels offering more premium cuts such as Japanese A5 wagyu. Our group ended up choosing the silver tier which offered unlimited Australian wagyu, one speciality dish (I chose sweet shrimp), and unlimited wagyu/salmon/yellowtail nigiri/sashimi. There's also other items like fruits, vegetables, gyudon. The variety alone makes this AYCE hotpot spot worth it. All the food is delicious and of good quality. The seating areas are clean and nice. The music isn't too loud. Service is fast but because of the chaos of both the size of the groups and the sheer quantity of people makes some of the orders get lost. They were very happy to make up for it which I appreciate it. This is the spot to splurge on when you wanna grab some Shabu shabu on a cold winter day.

My friend brought me here for dinner for my birthday. The place was very clean. The service was the topnotch. The waiter explained everything throughly yet the menu was still overwhelming. We got the gold set. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was delicious but we didn't realize it was limited to one order. The menu is very confusing. Please simplify it so it's clear. The other beef was okay. We settled for Australian Brisket. The seafood was all frozen except for the mantis shrimp. We didn't enjoy the seafood as much as we thought we would. We're both seafood lovers, and it just mid. The vegetables and fruits were very fresh. The broths were pretty bland. They also have juice and bubble tea which is also included in the price. We had no space for dessert so can't really comment on that. Overall, 5 stars for service, 4 star for Japanese A5, and 3 star for everything else.

I came across this place via targeted advertising on Instagram some time ago but hadn't taken the time to check it out until now. Went with my partner and his co-workers that recommended going. When I entered I recognized it as the place I'd seen on Instagram. The decor is interesting and well designed. The ambiance is very quaint and inviting. Just be careful if you are using the stairs as they can get slippery, so be careful. There were many tables, each situated strategically and spacious enough to accommodate many. Ordering is kinda complicated unless you already know what you want as the menu can be a little daunting as to what each level allows and doesn't. The food options are great but my favorite is the wagyu, so soft and succulent. I was kinda disappointed with the Snow Crab and Lobster offerings as they seemed lacking in size. There are 4 different broths available. The ones ordered (Tomato & House Broth) for our table didn't really hit the spot for me. Not that they weren't tasty but just didn't match my expectations. Drinks are unlimited which is a plus. Desserts are limited based in availability. As for the sauce cart, make sure to stack up as this goes fast. In all this is a great place to bring a group of friends or the family to enjoy some good eats.

Not bad for a place that advertised itself as wagyu hotpot all you can eat. I got the $98 non-member price set, including unlimited specialty foods, all kinds of premium wagyu beef, and the newly rolled out seasonal seafood menu (Flushing branch only). Notable mention to the amazing oysters, as well as sweet shrimp and bone marrow with toast. Tried the Australian wagyu as well and somehow it felt better than the Japanese ones? Three different parts of beef to choose from regardless. If you're not into wagyu, then there are cheaper all you can options to pick from. Every table has spacious seating and area to place food. You can go out to the drinks, sauce, little snacks areas to grab stuff. Also pots of curried wagyu and rice at the front. They were ok. Not too crowded during a weekend day time. I suggest making a reservation if you have a bigger party or eating during dinner hours.

I have really mixed felling about this place. The first time I came here was early October. We didn't have a reservation and with a party of 4 it was about 10 mins wait. It was really busy so our waiter was barely there to provide us service. We sat at the fist floor. Drinks, veggie, dessert and some appetizers were self served. We had half sukiyaki and half ponzu broth. For the appetizer we had bone marrow. It was pretty delicious. We had the salmon sashimi and it was pretty good too. We didn't really order much of the appetizers because we didn't want to get too full from appetizers. The meats were pretty fresh. Our favorite is the brisket. The only thing we liked from the seafood platter is the scallops. I came here a second time last week and I made a reservation through Yelp for 6 people. We still waited for an hour before we were seated. For whatever the reason they sat parties of 6 and 7 who came after us with no reservation before us. We had asked multiple times and they kept telling us it's a few more minutes and it ended up being a hour. I was really disappointed. It really was no point of making a reservation, coming on time just to wait another hour. They ended up giving us 2 tables next to each other on the 2nd floor. On the 2nd the floor the only self serve are the drinks and like 2 selection of fruits. Everything else must be ordered. To save time the staff just gave us one of everything (meat, appetizers and seafood). Both time we opt for the gold but I think silver would've been just fine. Both time we definitely didn't make our moneys worth and the experience was nothing too special. The lower rating was only because of our experience with reservation , wait time and receptionists.

Get the gold set. The shrimp and bone marrow! And order everything again and again. Great quality wagyu and the sukiyaki broth was so good I barely used my sauce. There's a sauce station and a drink station with milk tea! Veggies too but who eats those. Dessert was haagen dazs ice cream: vanilla, caramel, or strawberry

DISGUSTING. 0 stars. Words can not describe how nasty this experience was. I went to this highly rated place for a warm meal with my friends, but instead, my friend and I were HARASSED by the workers. He touched my friend inappropriately without consent and kept staring at me. We were at the blind spot where the camera couldn't capture the situation, and when we confronted this behavior, the manager denied it and gave us a sneering, condescending apology that can't even be considered an apology. They were so nonchalant about this situation that it made us feel even more sickened to be here. Absolutely DISGUSTING.

I originally found Mikiya via social media where people were raving about AYCE wagyu & just had to try it. The broths were flavorful, but the service and meat were subpar at best. When first sitting down, we had only one minute to decide what meal option we were going with. I hadn't even had time to view the menu and learn of the differences between each tier, but ended up opting for the Silver Tier for our meal. The server then asked if we wanted an explanation of how the tiered levels were set up, to which we answered yes, and proceeded to give no explanation, just rushed through asking which specialty items we wanted (one item per person.) Confused and overwhelmed with the ordering experience, we then had to read the menu on our own after the server departed and attempted to make sense of what we just ordered. For our ordering, we choose the specialty options (bone marrow, grilled wagyu steak, snow crab & lobster) after being told that various menu items were not available. Our meal set came with unlimited carpaccio (salmon / yellowtail) but was told they had no salmon, and when attempting to order a second plate was told they ran out of fish completely (even though I had viewed a table nearby order without problems.) This definitely didn't help our confusion with the menu. The broths were great and I found them way more flavorful than your typical hotpot experience. They complimented the meats and seafood well and did their job flavoring each bite. We did fall into issues where the broth would evaporate and we weren't able to flag down a server for a refill, leaving us with no soup to cook with for a bit of time. With the meats being advertised as wagyu & for the price point, it definitely isn't a surprise that you're not getting the fattiest, most tender meat you've ever had. The meat is good, but items like the grilled wagyu steak were tough and hard to swallow. I wish I was able to tell you what meat we enjoyed, but the presentation was confusing with a stack of plates of various cuts and no explanation as to which meat was brisket, ribeye, or shoulder. It was quite difficult to flag down a server when we wanted to reorder items, and with a time limit on your meal it can be stressful trying to ensure you got enough food before they cut you off. There was one point where we had ordered items and didn't receive them, and by the time we were able to flag down someone again our time was up. With what I did try, the food was tasty but nothing to write home about. It was a nice surprise getting lobster with our meal since it wasn't advertised, but it was a consolation prize since many menu items were out of season. The flavors of the broth were really what stuck out to me, but otherwise don't know if I would return for an all you can eat experience where I'm limited in what I could order / actually consume. **Something to note with the restaurant running out of certain food: we dined in around 8:30pm on a Sunday. The restaurant advertises their closing hours as 2:00am, so beware if you're planning on coming in for a late night bite.**

Great AYCE experience! Food came super quick and the quality of the meat was excellent. Japanese Wagyu is worth the buy up and best tasting imo. Australian and American Wagyu were standard. Seafood was also very fresh with the lobster still moving! The only disappointment was the snow crab. The legs were tiny so didn't have much meat. We ended up joining the membership. Can't wait to come back!

Food (5/5): Wow...this place is absolutely just amazing. Can't believe it exists and hopefully the quality and staying power will remain. It is an all you can eat Wagyu, seafood, sushi, and other dishes Japanese place. The cuts of Wagyu we got were actually very good and not chewy. The sushi and sashimi were of high quality and even though we only got the basic set, the seafood we saw from others also seemed good. We definitely have to go back to try the other AYCE sets. Service (4/5): Good and fast service considering how crazy busy this place is. They did a really good job of getting the food out fast and checking up on us. Maybe they could automate with a tablet in the future. We had a couple issues like our sushi taking a long time to come out and the amount of food coming out in lower quantities later on but overall good service. Ambiance (5/5): Really nice and upscale interior. There is a good amount of space to sit and it was comfy seating. Overall and fancy and impressive place for a great meal.

This is hands down my new favorite AYCE spot! The food quality is exceptional, with generous, bottomless portions of delicious Wagyu, as well as Salmon, Yellowtail, and Wagyu nigiri. I've visited several AYCE spots in Queens and Brooklyn that serve nigiri, but none come close to this level of quality. The fish is seasoned and presented like it's an Omakase meal--absolutely spectacular. The restaurant offers four different broth options: Spicy Miso, Tomato, House Broth, and Sukiyaki. We tried the House and Sukiyaki broths, both of which were heavenly. The Sukiyaki, in particular, was a standout. You can add condiments like pasteurized egg or sesame sauce, but we opted to enjoy it as is. The experience is divided into four tiers--Basic, Silver, Gold, and Platinum--each offering a progressively higher level of premium items. The price difference between the tiers is mostly for additional high-end cuts, like Japanese Wagyu. We went with the Silver tier, which includes Australian Wagyu and was more than enough for us. The Gold tier offers Japanese Wagyu, but at $20 per person, you only get one serving. The higher-tier levels also offer a more premium "full-blood" Australian Wagyu, compared to the "premium" Wagyu at the Silver level. Needless to say, we definitely got our money's worth within the 90-minute dining window. The service was excellent--attentive, responsive, and even proactive. The ambiance has a cool, multi-level, alley-style feel reminiscent of a restaurant in Japan. It's a perfect spot for a night out with friends, family, or even a date night. Highly recommend!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 9 Decor: 8 Value: 9 Overall: 9 I'm not a huge fan of buffets or AYCE restaurants because the quality always suffers. However, I will make an exception for this restaurant because they serve high quality ingredients, for a reasonable price, and it's freaking delicious. Hot pots are now dime a dozen in NYC, especially Flushing. Mikiya is unique because it's a Japanese version called shabu shabu, which translate into swoosh swoosh. This popular franchise's main draw is their AYCE wagyu beef, from USA, Australia, and even Japan. However, there are plenty of seafood options as well if you don't enjoy beef. For our first visit, it wasn't a hard choice, five of us were there to celebrate a birthday and ordered the highest priced option ($98) that included unlimited amounts of everything. They have three other levels that were $45, $55 and $78. Also, they have membership prices that were 10-15% off. Mikiya only has four soup bases. I highly recommend the spicy miso, which added fantastic flavor to everything we put in the broth. For a change of pace, I liked cooking the beef in the sweeter sukiyaki broth and then dipping the meat in raw egg yolk before eating over a small bite of rice. Though I prefer the other soup bases, the tomato and house broths were both decent too. As for the beef, we completely skipped the American stuff and barely got any Australian wagyu to try. However, we didn't hold back on the crown jewel of our meal, Japanese A5 wagyu. We got all three available cuts, but feasted mostly on the chuck ribeye and shoulder. I have had my fair share of Japanese wagyu in the US and overseas. This may not be up there with Kobe or Matsusaka, but it's definitely solid. It's Miyazaki after all, just the cuts are not from the best regions of the cattle. I would say it felt like similar quality to what I got locally in Kyoto or Hokkaido. Anyway, for the AYCE price, it was certainly impressive to me. If cooked properly to a nice medium, much of the fat will have melted away, leaving a super tender and tasty piece of beef. Another beef item that we liked was the wagyu bone marrow, though we didn't want to fill up on such a rich food too quickly, so only had two to share. The wagyu nigiri is also a filler since there is so much rice, we only had a few, which were just okay anyway. Wagyu tartare was decent, but the tartlet it came in was not so good. Like I said before, if you don't like beef, the seafood for the hot pot was surprisingly great. We ordered a mixed seafood platter that came with scallops, abalones, snow crab legs, clams, oysters and shrimps. We really enjoyed the scallops and abalones, which we ordered a few extra rounds as the night went on. Btw, if you like seafood, their raw sweet shrimps with ponzu & wasabi stem was a winner. For the sushi/sashimi lovers of the group, both of the salmon and yellowtail carpaccio were fresh. On the other hand, I would skip the cooked seafood items like the lobster tails (previously frozen), snow crab chawanmushi (tiny bit of crab, mostly just steamed egg custard), grilled fish collar (wrong part, overcooked), and shrimp tempura (way too much batter). Finally, there are stations where you can pick up various things like sauces, fried foods, wagyu curry, minced wagyu, hot pot veggies, ice cream, and desserts. We barely touch any of these fillers. The whole experience was made better by our wonderful server Johnny, who was friendly, funny and entertaining to chat with. He helped guide us through the evening with great suggestions and made everyone feel very comfortable. All in all, this meal was outstanding.

Horrible and DISGUSTING experience, was completely ruined by a serious incident of HARASSMENT. I went to this high rated restaurant for my dinner but also my first meal in the day. While I was near the sauce station, a male employee physically grabbed me by the waist. I was frozen in shock. His apology through the translation app was also completely insincere, since this employee had earlier asked me "What's your name?" in clear English. Although the manager stated the employee was fired, but I am skeptical if this was truly the case or if it was just a temporary measure. This was a very inappropriate and uncomfortable incident for me. I would like a formal written response and assurance from the restaurant, and I will consider further actions if necessary.

Our new favorite hot pot place. Considering how many amazing hot pot places there are in the NY area--it speaks volumes for us when we receive such quality food at such a great price. It's definitely worth it to do the membership and diamond package--especially if you can put away the meat like we can at hot pot. The quality was so good. From the meat to the seafood, we were in definite heaven.

We made reservations for table of 6 plus a baby, therefore plenty of space in the booth area which was somewhat semi-private. All of us were hungry so we decided to opt for the diamond set AYCE. The plates of wagyu just kept flowing to us. I think they should put more on each plate so we didn't have to get so many rounds. The soy broth was my favorite, it has lots of umami flavor, the tomato base was great too. The house broth didn't taste like anything special to me, tasted a bit blah. The salmon and yellowtail sashimi was okay, thin sliced, and masked with soy and wasabi. Sweet shrimp was good - soy and wasabi. Bone marrow was not bad - but wish it was more toasted or put under the fire longer. The seafood platter - scallop, shrimp and abalone were good. The shrimp were partially peeled so when you cook it, it's easy to peel and they cleaned it out. The fish on the other hand were ice cold as it came cut frozen. I didnt touch the oysters since it didn't look right to me but the party i was with said it was just okay. Service was quick whenever we wanted to order more food. Our waiter was very tentative and puts the order right away.

I do agree that the service and atmosphere here is really good. Wagyu is in high level. Even though wagyu is limited for All You Can Eat, I still had a great time with my friends here. But the Wagyu is the only thing recommend here, the rest side dish( those special dish) and seafood is not that good, especially the seafood is not fresh and bland when you put in hotpot. I won't recommend the seafood here. 日本和牛，澳洲和牛味道都很不错，推荐！三文鱼刺身也很好吃。 但是海鲜很不行一来是海鲜不太新鲜，二是海鲜下锅之后没有味道，和寿喜锅也不搭

Easy reservation. Awesome service. Solid food, love their drink options as well (mainly their guava drink). Quality of the food is also good, but I def cannot do AYCE wagyu, it's just too much for me. I love the fact that they have 4 different options for you to choose from as well. If you don't eat alot you can choose their basic option. I went for the gold today and it was waaaay too much food for me and def did not eat my moneys worth. I hope this restaurant continues to have good quality meat and food because often times hotpot places tend to go down after a couple of months or years. But so far right now, highly recommend you to go! Would I go again? Not too sure because I personally just can't do AYCE. Maybe I'll go with someone who can eat enough for 2!

Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House has been on my list since it opened in Flushing and now Manhattan. I went for a late dinner last night and was so excited to try it since I love all you can eat. It has a really nice interior and it wasn't super busy because it was later which was good. We got the silver set for 2 which is all you can eat Australian wagyu, comes with 1 seafood platter, 1 appetizer, and unlimited sushi. Our server was so friendly and helpful getting us started with our order, but the only thing is she ordered 2 of every meat for us and I didn't want the American wagyu (since we got the silver). So we had to eat 6 orders of American wagyu which were good but the Australian wagyu was noticeably better. The yellowtail sashimi was better than the salmon and I liked the jalapeño. Sweet shrimp appetizer was a little disappointing since the texture felt a little mushy or goopy (hard to explain) but the flavor was good. Wagyu nigiri was amazing and even the cold appetizers like the spicy clams were good too! We got spicy miso and house broth (although I wish we had gotten sukiyaki as recommended by our server). I liked the house broth because it allowed you to taste the flavor of the meat. For the Australian wagyu my favorite cut was the ribeye, although the brisket and shoulder were both fatty and delicious. We ended up eating a total of 25 orders of meat! The seafood platter I thought was very fresh but I only ate the shrimp, crab, abalone, and scallop. Our server was so on top of it taking our orders which was great! The one thing I think could be improved is the dessert since it is an ice cream bar and I wish it was like a matcha soft serve or something. Also the bar has nuts and my boyfriend is allergic so I had to eat the outside off. Overall, an amazing experience and would definitely return to try the sukiyaki broth!

For someone who isn't a fan of AYCE, i was impressed! The four of us went with the Silver set ($55 pp), and we were stuffing ourselves with bunch of delicious food, especially the wagyu beef. Soft drinks, fruits, and ice cream are complementary. Our server, Ngok was attentive, and kept bringing us refills. Highly recommended!

This is my new go to place for shabu shabu with unlimited wagyu beef (depending on which package you order)! I just became a member because I know I'll be coming back with family and friends for their discounts ($10 off per person for two) for every visit. In terms of their menu, order for your tummy's content. The nonstop dishes of thinly sliced beef were fresh, tender, and tasty with whatever combo of broths (e.g., sukiyaki, tomato, herbs, ponzu) you select and concoction of sauces you create. The self-serve bar for sauces, fruits, and vegetables includes takowasa and spicy clams. The never-ending places of sushi were also fresh with a kick of jalapeno to keep you awake from any food coma. I can't forget the giant raw sweet prawns, which were soft, juicy, and scrumptious with every bite. One of the best ways to end a meal is on a sweet note with your choice of ice cream. My favorites are the Melona bars and sorbets with coconut or passionfruit and mango. Service is friendly, helpful, and chivalrous. My friend's mom dropped her popsicle and the staff replaced it along with a smile. Arrive early given it's packed at noon, especially on the weekends. Parking is tough on the street, but luckily there are nearby lots within walking distance.
