Ushiya Grill

Best Japanese BBQ AYCE in San Jose. Highly suggest the premium menu ($55) which comes with unlimited soft drinks and unlimited and wide selection of Wagyu cuts. Each meats were plated delicately and presented well. Service was also great – upon ordering, dishes came out within 5-10 minutes. Just make sure to order frequently because there are not many pieces of meat per serving (except the brisket). The restaurant was also pretty clean – it did not have the sticky, greasy and slippery floor feeling like other AYCE BBQ spots. I would definitely comeback and bring my friends and family along. The most enjoyable meats in my opinion were the Wagyu brisket, garlic beef belly, premium beef tongue and Wagyu short rib. The Wagyu brisket is better than generic brisket – its marbling enhances the taste of the fattiness and juiciness in your mouth and pairs well with the soy and garlic flavor from the brisket sauce. The garlic beef belly was extremely garlic and fatty which I enjoyed. Most other places that serve beef belly don’t have the same quality as Ushiya does. The premium beef tongue had the usual toughness of beef tongue but went well with the jalapeño chili spicy sauce (a mix of garlic, jalapeño and Gochujang). The Wagyu short rib was another cut that had great marbling and was juicy every bite. Some pieces are cut slightly thinner than others so make sure to cook it quick on the grill and enjoy while hot before it burns. The curry donburi surprised me because Ushiya specializes in grilled meats, yet their curry quality was pretty good. The curry was flavorful and had consistency like gravy which I enjoyed dipping the brisket in.

I had such a great experience at this Japanese BBQ buffet! The quality of the meat was honestly impressive fresh, flavorful, and perfect for grilling right at the table. We ordered a bunch of Wagyu and it was $55 per person, which honestly felt worth it for the quality and amount we got. The meat was tender, rich, and cooked beautifully on the grill. The variety was really good too, from marinated meats to sides and little appetizers. Everything tasted clean and well-prepared, not greasy like some buffets can be. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to change the grills and clear plates, which made the whole experience even better.

Highly recommend Ushiya Grill! The meat quality here is absolutely amazing — super fresh, tender, and juicy with incredible flavor in every bite. You can really taste the premium quality of the cuts. The service is also outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, always happy to explain different cuts and suggest the best way to grill them. On top of that, the value for the price is excellent. It’s honestly hard to find this level of quality at such a reasonable price in the Bay Area. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to!

This is one of the better AYCE Japanese BBQ in the South Bay that my husband and I have had. We went here for a date night on a weekday and were seated fairly quickly. It's a very spacious spot. I love that it isn't smoky like KBBQ and you leave without stinking like food smoke. There are 2 different tiers of meat options, Signature $35/person and Premium $55/person with the time limit of 2hrs. Premium tier also includes everything off the Signature tier. We chose the Premium option. Appetizers and sides are all included in the price. Each order of meat/sides came out within just a few minutes after ordering, we barely waited for anything to come out. Not all meats are good until we found the better ones and that made the experience SO MUCH better! Some of the initial meats we ordered were so tough and chewy they were bad. If you know what's good and order that right off the bat, the experience will probably be 10/10. Sauces are all at your table so no need to get up and down to get your sauce. Bottom line: Good value, good quality. Already thinking of when we'll come back!

Amazing Japanese BBQ experience! The quality of the meat was outstanding—perfectly marbled, super fresh, and full of flavor. Everything cooked beautifully on the grill, and the sauces and sides complemented the meat so well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to explain the menu, which made the experience even better. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and unforgettable food. Can’t wait to come back!

There was a lot of parking and the service was great! It is on the expensive side but I do recommend it. They would give you a QR code for you to scan to order. If you get the Wagyu tier, you will get complimentary sodas with it. I'm so happy the portion was so much smaller so we got to try a lot of things before tapping out. Surprisingly, I didn't feel gross afterwards or got those "meaty" sweats. This has been nice for once in a while event or special occasions.

Dined in on Saturday evening - table of 3. The restaurant has a 90-minute dining format with entrées arriving every 6 minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and I'd definitely return for it. However, the service fell short of expectations. Our server wasn't familiar with basic dietary restrictions - she thought mayo contained dairy and couldn't distinguish between soju and sake when asked. Worse still, she didn't bother checking with the kitchen or management. For a restaurant at this level, staff should have stronger knowledge of ingredients and the beverage menu to properly guide diners, especially those with dietary needs. I'll be back for the food, but will hope for more knowledgeable service next time. Food is fairly priced.

One of my go to spots now for AYCE meats! The below is based on my first time..but I've gone a handful of times since. They do Yelp Waitlist, which is pretty accurate. I believe they also take reservations too. I showed up a bit later, but told the staff, and they put my name back on the list. AYCE premium $55/head $17 asahi super dry pitcher Our highlights were: fatty brisket wagyu short rib premium tongue center beef small intestine quite good Sides were limited, but lettuce was fresh. You can order 6 meats at a time, but you can order multiple times at once (if you order 6 meats, you can immediately order another 6) 90 min limit I'm sure it is more busy and hectic during peak hours. Weekday dinners probably a good time to go or right when they open. A few notes for improvement: -solely commenting on the diet coke...it is flatter than most fountain sodas, so might need to get it checked -it would be nice if there were physical pictures or marks/comments of which meat was what Should be able to find parking in the plaza.

Great food and high-quality meat. The staff were friendly and the place was clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed the BBQ experience and will definitely come back!

Good value all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ. Tasty and filling. The Wagyu premium course is highly recommended.

I got the $35 menu and it was pretty cool. The service was decent but meat options were limited. We got a private room in the back because of party size. Server I think name Donnie is cool.

Just tried Ushiya and I'm impressed! The meat was super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality. Everything came out fresh and the staff were friendly too. For the price, it's honestly such a great value especially here in the Bay Area. Yummy AND affordable? Yes please!

If you're expecting good quality Japanese wagyu, don't come - the quality of meats is far from it. Starting off, there was one server that explains the menu and take your order for the first round, but afterwards, you can order from the QR code. Very efficient and the meats came out fast. From the premium section, we tried their Harami, brisket, ribeye, beef tongue and zabuton. Honestly, I can barely taste the difference from one another. Maybe since it was labeled as wagyu, I was expecting tenderness and juiciness. Instead, the meats were very lean and chewy. They also didn't have any beef toro which was disappointing. Tables were very close together as well. But they did have a lot of tables/seating.

I've been here at least 3 times already and every time has been amazing! My team loves coming here when we're craving and it always hits! The meat quality is wonderful and the sauces are SOO good! Love that there's plenty of indoor seating and service is quick and efficient! The restaurant is nice and clean and seats are very comfortable! I love the variation of meats, veggies and appetizers you can order from! Definitely a solid spot!

Meat Lovers Heaven - AYCE! They have two menus: the Signature at $35/person and the Premium at $55/person. We went with the Premium since it includes everything from the Signature plus a bunch of Wagyu beef cuts. Meat quality was on point, service was quick, and we ordered multiple rounds to try as much as we could. Left very full and very happy.

This was my second time visiting Ushiya Grill, and it will not be my last thanks to the great service provided by our server, Nathan. I am disappointed by the front-end staff though because upon arriving and checking in for my reservation, the lady at the front said they don't take reservations, so it's not possible for me to have one. I showed her the text confirmation, and she disregarded it, and I noticed my name was on the list on the iPad, and I had to point it out. She told us that's weird because they don't do reservations but ended up seating us on time. It was a little frustrating having to go through that though. The food was great! We chose the premium selection, and the meats and sides were really good. I would say some meats are a lot better than others. I also wish they had more sides and appetizer options. I want to give a huge shoutout to our server, Nathan, who was awesome! He was very attentive and on top of everything. He also did a great job checking up on us even though it was super busy.

This place is okk, the fist round of meat was pretty solid (u could tell it was frozen) but ok marbling. IN MY DEFENCE BEFORE I GET ATTACKED, i have been blessed to be able to try a variety of kbbq places so for 35 dollars it does the job well and thats why it has this review. The meat quality dropped after the first round and it stayed there. My friends enjoyed the appetizers a little more than the meat too, so that should say something. Overall, this is a cool place, not somewhere i would actively go out to but could understand if someone else wanted to

Came with a couple of our friends to get lunch. Ushiya is in a cursed location- over the years, many places have inhabited this spot, like malu bian bian and tk noodle, with tk noodle living the longest in my memory. We had to wait a decent amount on a saturday, something like 40 minutes. The expectations were high because of the hype behind this place. The interior doesn't change too much over the years. The previous restauraunts all had similar interiors and this looks more or less like a regular kbbq store. Their grills are kinda neat though! But because of the lack of holes, oil sloshes around. We personally felt it was pretty good but the meat quality was not leaps and bounds above solid kbbq. With the other options available This didn't stand out too much to us but it was solid for sure. I'd try it again. Maybe the batches we had were less marbled. We had a good experience as a group. Overall nothing wrong with it and solid meat and service.

I made reservation more than a week ago for my husband's bday. We arrived 5 mins late for our Thursday 5:30pm reservation. I received a text about saying that they are only holding the table for 5 mins so I called them to tell them we were going to be 5 mins late. They said no problem. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived. It was maybe half full atound 6-7pm. This is a AYCE Japanese restaurant and there's only 2 menus. We chose to go with the $35 signature menu. Theres also a wagyu menu $55. The signature menu already had some pretty fatty meats. Don't think we needed to go with the Wagyu menu. You order the first round with the waiter and then you use a QR code to order more foods. You get to order 6 items at a time. Food came out really quick for the majority of the time. A couple of dishes came out slower. We liked the meats without sauces on them. The beef large and small intestines, and finger rib were too chewy to eat. There was no takowasa, beef abomasum, miso soup, and yukkejang. I was surprised that our waiter didn't know what items were unavailable. We liked the beef brisket, beef yakishabu, beef belly, pork belly, squid, and pork jowl. For appetizers , we tried the kimchi namul, beef bone soup, grilled miso eggplant, ponzu cabbage salad, squid karaage, gyoza, takoyaki, horse mackerel, agedashi tofu, corn cheese. Everything was good. Overall, very good price and decent quality. Service was good and easy to flag someone down. Surprisingly, I didn't smell like bbq afterwards.

This is one of the better AYCE Japanese BBQ in the South Bay that my husband and I have had. We went here for a date night on a weekday and were seated fairly quickly. It's a very spacious spot. I love that it isn't smoky like KBBQ and you leave without stinking like food smoke.

Bottom line: Good value, good quality. Already thinking of when we'll come back!

Great experience at Ushiya Grill! Ordering was super easy and straightforward, and everything came out quickly once we placed it. The service was fast and attentive without feeling rushed--they were always on top of refills and grill changes. The ventilation is also really good, which made the whole meal much more comfortable (no smoky smell lingering on clothes after). Quality of the meats was solid and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Overall, smooth, efficient, and really enjoyable Japanese BBQ. Would definitely come back!

I came here a few times and got the chance to try the signature and the premium menu. Honestly, I was fine with the signature menu. I thought the meat, side dish, appetizer, drink selections was great. The spicy beef soup wasn't as spicy as I thought. In fact, there wasn't any spice at all. Everything came out quick. I liked their sauce selections. Service was great. My nephew loves this place.

First time here today and honestly they have the best Wagyu cuts, the Meats were all perfectly marbled and juicy. The kimchi tastes so fresh! I love that they add condensed milk to the corn cheese. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. Must try if you're in the area!!

An AYCE Japanese BBQ spot that's decently priced! Plenty of parking since it's in a pretty big Asian plaza, and this place has a good number of tables. We had gone here on Valentine's Day so service was expected to be slow, but honestly it wasn't that bad since we had went a few hours before dinner. Will def be coming back!

This is my go to with my friend and his fiancé. We love this place and almost come exclusively for the large intestine! Meat selection is excellent. Everything you would want in an Asian BBQ...our favorite is the large intestine which is tasty and hard to find elsewhere. There soups are on point and their side dishes more than enough. Nothing is bad at all and I have yet to try something I did not like. Service is awesome but they have seen us enough. They always ask for reservations but they see me and we get seated which I love! Waiters are attentive but sometimes you need to flag them down...sit is very busy though so this is no hit on them at all. It is good for what it is and due to their volume. Ambiance is nice and modern albeit dark which I am ok with. Any darker and I would dislike it. However we go there for the food and the food is incredible! So if you want BBQ that is Asian but not Korean, this is the pace to go! It is so good, sadly my friend and I go no where else now.

Delicious cuts of meat! We got the premium option & gorged on the brisket, beef tongue, and short rib. You can tell that the quality of meats were of high quality, as they don't smother the meat with sauces/seasonings! This is definitely the type of place to have the quality of meat shine. The sauces were something that was surprisingly unique! They had a fruity soy sauce and a miso sauce that was delicious--I never eat my bbq with sauces, but this was so good. Highly recommend Ushiya!

The overall experience was pretty decent. Came here around 630pm on a Saturday and got seated within 10 mins, the line wasn't too long. I usually have low expectation for AYCE KBBQ since I wouldn't expect the quality to be good, but Ushiya surprised me and my friends. The quality was actually pretty solid and there are many items to pick from the menu when it comes to sides and meat choices. We got the premium option, so ordered mostly waygu beefs. The only complaint was the portion, it's AYCE but some of the meats came with just 3 or 4 slices. We would all had a small piece, then had to keep ordering more, which was kind of annoying. Just give more, so we wouldn't have to order 5 times of the same thing.. Prob would try other places first before coming back!

This was a solid spot. The meat was good, and the sauces were really good. They were good on their own but definitely paired well with different meats. There's tons of seating, and the servers were quick. Only downside was that our table was a little sticky, so the place could be a bit cleaner. Other than that, it was a good experience.

Came here again on a Tuesday and was easily able to get seated. Enjoyed that they had a join the waitlist on Yelp to make getting sat a breeze. The food was easy to order and had great quality

This place is a favorite for when it comes to JBBQ. At a recent visit, we found out they now have mini donburi bowls! These are perfect if you need some rice to go along with the grilled meats. The Donburi Bowls are included with both grill menu options (Signature and Premium) and they even have a Lunch Special for a Mini Donburi Set! My favorite one was the Yakiniku Donburi (it had so much flavor) and then Curry Tonkatsu Donburi falling close behind as my second fav. Lunch Special Mini Donburi Sets - all under $20! (all sets come with 2 pc Chicken Karaage, 2 pc Gyoza, Kimchi, Ponzu Cabbage Salad, and choice of Beef Bone or Spicy Beef Bone Soup) * Curry Tonkatsu Donburi Set * Yakiniku Donburi Set (my favorite!) * Spicy Pork Donburi Set * Oyako Donburi Set Mini Donburi w/ JBBQ: * Wagyu Beef Don * Spicy Miso Beef Don * Garlic Pork Belly Don * Miso Pork Belly Don (coming soon!) * Spicy Pork Belly Don (coming soon!) * Hamburger Steak Don (curry sauce/original) (coming soon!) We never had issues with service here and the meats come out quickly.

Always a great experience here. I love that we can order on our phones and the bbq is tasty. Great selection of meets and appetizers!!!! Great for date night and they have large group seating arrangements if needed. Service is good too Reserve in advance!

So we decided to try this place on a Saturday night without a reservation. We walked in on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We opted for the premium course for $55/person. Once we were seated, we were greeted immediately and were given a menu. One thing I immediately noticed was the cleanliness. The menu I got had some sauce on it, and the table was sticky, needing another wipe down. The moment they sit you down, they activate the QR code once you decide which package you're going to do, and that is where you order from. From there on, you have pretty little interaction with your server. You order from the QR code, and they just set your orders on the little side table for you to grab when you're ready to cook them. Drinks were very limited. They don't have any hot tea or unsweet tea, and their drinks are all from their soda machine, which you would hope would have more choices, but it didn't. So one thing I will say is order accordingly. Order your food however you want it set on your table. They only allow you 6 per order. I ordered a combination of meat and sides first, then the rice and the rest of the sides. The first order came right away, but it was only the meat and the cheese corn. The rest of the sides took a while to arrive at our table. We had to ask one of the hosts for our sides cause it took too long. Our meat was already done, and yet we still had no rice. The host got us the rice immediately, and our initial order arrived at our table another 5 minutes later. The meat quality was really good, but their customer service was very mediocre. Even asking for the bill took a while. I then had to ask the host again for our bill, since our initial server never really checked on us after he activated our QR code. All in all, this was an okay experience. There are definitely better Japanese BBQs in the bay.

Great restaurant with great customer service Definitely comeback. The food is outstanding.

The stringent time limit per table is strange, especially if you have young children who require attention. After assisting my children, the order time from the app is almost up, after which you will be unable to order. I wish they were more flexible with the timing, particularly for families with young children.

I came in for the $35 per person AYCE menu. The menu states that there is a 2 person minimum per table. I joined the Yelp waitlist while going to the restaurant. I've seen this spot get packed so I'm glad I beat the dinner rush. The floors are slippery from grease. I recommend walking very carefully through the restaurant and assisting those in your party that may be at risk for falling or slipping. Once you are seated, a staff member will come over with a tablet and activate the QR Code on your table. This will allow you to order from your phone. Keep an eye on the website because it added 5 bowls of rice, 1 edamame , and more without us touching the website. It was just me and my boyfriend so I know we didn't order it. Some meats were better than others; the one that looks similar to a bulgogi was really good. It was juicy and tender. I can't say the same for the last batch of brisket we received. It was dry and chewy. I know it wasn't cooking error since we cooked the first batch of brisket well. I saw many reviews saying that takoyaki was really good. I can confidently say it was better than the last batch of brisket.

I have a very good experience here, friendly staff, good food! I'll come back next time, everything is great

Great place to grab all you can eat bbq. They have a nice selection of meats ranging from American/Australian Wagyu to Chicken to Seafood. Service is also laid back placing your meat rounds via qr code. They use a mesh style grill instead of the flat one.

One of my go to spots now for AYCE meats! The below is based on my first time..but I've gone a handful of times since. They do Yelp Waitlist, which is pretty accurate. I believe they also take reservations too. I showed up a bit later, but told the staff, and they put my name back on the list. AYCE premium $55/head $17 asahi super dry pitcher Our highlights were: fatty brisket wagyu short rib premium tongue center beef small intestine quite good Sides were limited, but lettuce was fresh. You can order 6 meats at a time, but you can order multiple times at once (if you order 6 meats, you can immediately order another 6) 90 min limit I'm sure it is more busy and hectic during peak hours. Weekday dinners probably a good time to go or right when they open. A few notes for improvement: -solely commenting on the diet coke...it is flatter than most fountain sodas, so might need to get it checked -it would be nice if there were physical pictures or marks/comments of which meat was what Should be able to find parking in the plaza.

Recently went to this place with some frenz for the first time. My gf made reservations so we didn't wait long for our table. You order from your mobile and they bring the items to you. There were 4 of us and we were capped at 6 items per round for the entire party whereas other places it's per person. Been to many similar restaurants and we thought it fell short when it came to varieties and options. The meat selection was decent but not a lot of side dishes and there were no desserts, hot saki or hot tea. That was a disappointment. I didn't want soda nor did I want to drink just water and it was a cold night so I preferred something warm. The service was fast and friendly, casual environment with good ventilation.

Had a great experience at Ushiya in Milpitas! The food was delicious and the table grill made the whole meal really fun. The meat quality was great and everything came out fresh. The rice bowl and grilled beef were especially good. What really made the visit stand out was our server Joan. She was super attentive, friendly, and checked on us at the perfect times without being intrusive. She helped us with the grill, made sure our table always had what we needed, and kept the experience smooth the entire time. You can tell she really cares about giving great service. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service from Joan. I'll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended! Really good quality of meat especially from the premium menu . There's also a variety of appetizers you can order from. The service is very fast, and the people are very friendly.

An outstanding Japanese Wagyu BBQ experience. The quality of the beef is exceptional--beautifully marbled, incredibly tender, and rich without being overwhelming. Grilling fresh Wagyu at the table is such a satisfying experience, and every cut melts in your mouth. Great selection, excellent freshness, and a very authentic Japanese BBQ atmosphere. Definitely worth it for Wagyu lovers.

Came here for lunch on the weekend. It wasn't too busy surprisingly but then it got much busier. However, service was top notch, always bringing our orders, changing the grill and refilling drinks Lots of good quality meats. However, since we ordered so much meat (group of 6), we didn't know what meats were what as there were no labels. It was a bit difficult to reorder the meats we liked, but eventually we got it. They also have delicious sides to chose from as well, from chicken karaage to dumplings to miso eggplant and miso soup. There's a large parking lot here but since it's in a busy plaza with other restaurants parking can be hard to find.

First time at Ushiya and wow--what a feast! Their all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ lets you grill your own meats, and it's as fun with friends as it is flavorful. From marbled cuts to savory marinades, every bite was sizzling perfection. The vibe? Energetic and welcoming, with staff who keep the plates coming and the grill hot and clean. Great for groups, date nights, or anyone craving hands-on dining with bold flavors. Can't wait to go back and try even more!

Yakiniku is a lot more rare than its Korean counterpart, so I was excited about finding an AYCE Japanese BBQ (with minor KBBQ influence) to go to after a morning of fishing. Ushiya Grill is relatively new, so I think they've tweaked a few things since my visit. Currently, their basic menu is $35/pp and the premium menu with wagyu is $55/pp. I opted for the basic menu like I usually do on my first visit to an AYCE because meat is meat. Good * Meat quality is solid and marinades are good (spicy here means drizzled with gochujang). * Food comes out fast, and service is solid. * The fruit soy and miso sauces on the table are tasty. * Soy marinaded meats are flavored well; sweet soy finger rib was our favorite cut. * Very popular and busy, but seems to have a shorter wait time than other AYCE places in the bay, and usage of Yelp waitlist and reservations. * Reasonable price for AYCE yakiniku. Bad * They may forget an order submission, or forget to tell you it's out of stock. * Paper menu differs from what they actually offer on the QR code you use to order from phone, so it's hard to plan for what to eat, and several items listed on the paper menu were not available. * Water is room temperature and basically tap water flavored with a lemon slice. * Rice is questionably dirty, hard, dry, and clumped up. * Appetizers are budget versions. * The thinner cuts have a tendency to stick to the grill. The complaints are only minor, and I'd enjoy coming here again. It's located in the center of a spacious plaza with a lot of parking and other Asian restaurants and tea.

Clean and great service! Good value for ayce! Meat is good quality. Highly recommend the fruit soy sauce.

We found out about this place when they were literally starting to accept customers. It was not cheap but also they advertised ayce wagyu for $55. We came in without expectations but pleasantly surprised! The servers were prompt at getting the meats out as they have a time limit like most:Their grill gets pretty hot therefore we are able to just have the fatty cuts only kiss the grill a little bit. Unlike other places where it doesnt get hot enough and the fat does not get rendered! Wish they have the names of the cuts when they take the meat out. Often times were googling and guessing. i have had better quality wagyu but still also better than most! for the prize id definitely go back.

This was a 10/10 experience for me. We dined around noon on a weekday and were greeted and seated right away as there was no line/wait. They do have a waitlist tablet by the door so that is an option for busier hours and larger parties. I liked how we were able to place our orders through a QR link so we didn't have to wait or flag our servers at any point during our meal. The service was very quick and efficient once we placed our orders. They also took away empty plates right away to clear our table. Our server attended to our table and was able to change our grill 4 times when she noticed it was time for a grill change. She was very kind and checked up on our table asking if we needed any more utensils or drinks. The meat we ate was amazing. I loved the premium selection on the menu. Each bite was so tender and flavorful. The dipping sauces were a great addition to the grilled meat. I love this restaurant and would recommend anyone in the Bay Area to stop by for a good selection of AYCE meat! I left full and satisfied with everything here :) Our bill came to be around $144 with 20% tip! Overall, we knew we got our moneys worth here. Come with an empty stomach so you can take advantage of the menu! This place is worth it.

This restaurant is kind of new, but I have already been here like two times because it's just that good and especially for the price that you're paying for all you can eat Wagyu. I like to call ahead to make reservation for the weekend just to avoid the wait. It can get really busy on the weekends. The food here is really good and I really enjoy all the type of meats they have. My family really likes this place a lot too, which is very surprising to me because they rarely eat out. The restaurant is a little bit on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but service is really quick because you order everything with a QR code on your phone!

Finally tried Ushiya Grill and it didn't disappoint! I've heard great things and it was definitely up to our expectations. I joined the Yelp waitlist on a Saturday night for 6:30 PM, and was surprised to see that the wait was only 10-15 mins. Once we got there, we were seated right away in a booth. One of the first things I noticed was the floor was a bit slippery (I assume from the grease/cooking). Once seated, a waiter greeted us and took our orders for the first round, and then after that we ordered from our phones with the QR code. The physical menu is different from the QR code menu, but I noticed that the QR code menu had a lot more options. The premium meat options were 100% worth the $55, and a soda is included with the premium option. The meat quality is better than any other kbbq spots I've tried in the Bay Area, and there are tons of options! We enjoyed everything from the premium menu. You can order up to 6 items every 6 minutes. What's special about Ushiya grill is their sauces, it really enhanced our meal! I liked the vegetable platter a the grilled eggplant was a hit! We wanted to try the donburi don but they only had the katsu option, looks like we need to come back :)

Great food!!! Had the premium menu, wagu was delicious. Lots of great appetizers, recommend the Takoyaki gyoza. Kimchi was refreshing. Great service , easy to order and don't have to wait long for food. Comfortable seating and cool temperature. Will visit again.

I randomly found this place and came here with my husband for one of our date nights. The thing that really drew me to this place is the price - $35 is pretty hard to beat for AYCE! We didn't feel the need to try the premium menu at all - nor did we feel like we should have gone that route after the meal. We ordered plenty of food to make sure we're super full by the end of our meal. Service was great and it didn't take too long to get our orders. The place was basically packed for a weeknight - thank goodness I had made a Yelp reservation in advance as we took one of the last tables available for dinner service. Definitely would consider coming back next time we're in the mood for AYCE BBQ!

So delicious! Friendly, fast service paired with excellent quality meat. We opted for the premium menu, which is definitely pricier but I think worth it for the wagyu quality. I only tried meats from the premium menu (except for brisket which was pretty good), so I can't really speak to the signature menu's quality. Every piece we ordered was very tender, but my favorites were definitely the premium tongue center and the wagyu short rib. Their tongue cuts are a little bit on the thicker end than I'm used to, which I actually kinda like because it was still quite tender. You order on your phone which makes it super easy, and the service is quick at bringing out the dishes. I also appreciated that the portion sizes for each meat order were on the smaller side, allowing us to try more variety without over-ordering. Since I went as a party of two, this was especially great. For appetizers and sides, the miso eggplant was fantastic. I didn't expect a whole eggplant, and I loved the smoky char from the grill. The takoyaki was crispy and while it could have used a little bit more octopus, I honestly did not mind considering how much meat we already had. The kimchi was crunchy and fresh as well. I would love if they offered rice paper or a small dessert like ice cream, but at least I saved on carbs! Made a reservation for weekend lunch and it was easy to get seated (although quite packed). I think dinner time is even busier but they do have yelp waitlist which is a plus.

My come away from visiting Ushiya was that I need to visit again, but also need to try the wagyu tier. First impressions were that it's was a bit more greasy and unclean than I had anticipated. I know it's AYCE BBQ, but it's also Japanese and it was more unclean than most of any other AY E BBQ places. The service, good--standard. They do stations, so my beer (which came in a plastic cup :( ) took a while longer while the meats were quick. The food was good. I enjoy the smaller portions. Be quick with cooking because it burns fast. Overall, experience was fine, but I did feel like the little things could have made the experience that much better, like actual glass cups for beer and maybe wipe the tables down a bit better so it's not as greasy?

We came here for our son's 17th birthday. The foods were delish. Love love the service though, everything was super fast to come out after I ordered and they were always on top of cleaning our empty plates. Would def recommend this place to friends and family!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised with only about a 5-minute wait. Once seated, we ordered through the QR code, and the food came out almost instantly. We went with the signature menu, which offered a solid variety of meats and some seafood. Everything was seasoned well and full of flavor. I especially appreciated the wide range of sides and appetizers included with the menu! The restaurant was clean and staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend if you're in the area and craving some quality BBQ!

Tried Ushiya for the first time and wow... it was so good! We got there right before they opened, so we were lucky to snag seats before the dinner rush hit. We went for the premium tier ($55 per person) since it included a lot more wagyu cuts. The brisket? Absolute favorite -- it literally melted in our mouths. They also serve plenty of appetizers like chicken karaage, fries, gyoza, and more. Plus, all the non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price, which was such a nice bonus. You also get to order on your phone, so no need to wait on your server! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out! The pricing feels pretty affordable if you're looking to splurge a little, and honestly, it's worth every bite.
