Since my daughter went back to NY, I and my wife wanted to scout some new restaurants, we went to Milpitas shopping center and saw this buffet, the prices seemed to be reasonable so we went in. This place used to be other buffets before, it’s been changing many times, especially in a food center with all types of Asian restaurants. It’s difficult to find a parking space in a huge parking lot on the weekend.
We had to wait for a good 20 minutes to get a table for 2, quite crowded.
There are a few tiers for dining, we chose the least expensive one for $36.
The server was quite attentive and pleasant, the salad bar is plentiful with things we like.
We can order from the menu 10 things at a time which is nice.
The sushi appetizers are excellent. The beef looked fresh and tender only if you don’t over cook them. We like the bulgogi very much. Marinated just right and tender.
For the price and the services, this place is very good. We’ll take my daughter here next time she visits.

Nah this was legit. Would definitely go again. It’s a great price for both lunch and for the silver menu. All portions in a bowl are small, like the size of a small rice bowl. The clay pot is bigger, like 2x of those bowls. This allows you to eat a large variety of items. Of them, we found everything good and most great. The only miss really was the chicken karaage. You get beef fat to render onto the grill to get the leaner cuts nice. The salmon sunomono was great too but you need to want to eat lettuce. The jellies were great too. They have automatic salt and pepper grinder on the side and the salt there is flavored and tastes pretty good. The meat isn’t marinated, which makes it so the grill doesn’t burn as quickly nor will you get full as quickly. All of it needs some salt so make sure you grab some. The bulgogi and hangar steak were excellent for me. My fiancée prefers the top round which was more often then no well-marbler. I think the plate meat was the worst cut for us. The black garlic ramen was supreme. Do go for it if you can tolerate garlic. The cucumbers are missing salt so make sure to get some for them too. The service here is more attentive then most and they’re really quick with bringing you your dishes in a timely manner. It’s also not too sticky here. Good stuff.

Considering their price range and service, 5-star all around. Came here during summer but it was a different type of restaurant back then, changed in leaderships I guess.
Food: this time foods were better. Also they have QR-code online order now. Foods came out fast consider the place was half full when I got there.
Service: attentive, love how they change the grilling plate every 8-10 mins for you,
Atmosphere: nice decoration, clean restroom. Felt nice to be there.

Came here on a Tuesday around 4 and got the silver package. First off the service was great, very attentive, food came out fast, plates were cleaned just as fast. I got to try the fish and the meats. We didn’t eat much of the other stuff like the sushi & fried appetizers. The quality of some of the cuts were good and had good marbling, but some seem basic to me that were called wagyu. The seafood selection limited too to salmon and shrimp. I guess some places are doing this tier pricing now so plan accordingly. The decor and ambiance is amazing. Big tv, lots of fake fire lighting, lots of colorful lighting. I probably won’t come back.

I’m going to give it 5 stars for the quality of the food all around. There’s some teething issues and things I’d change but they delivered on their promises. We had the diamond tier, which was a big splurge.

The portion sizes are pretty small which is excellent, they don’t fill you up on one thing and if you like it you can just keep ordering more of the same or many different things without filling up too much on any one thing. Meats are thinly sliced. Sushi is 4 pieces. Perfect.

We ordered a portion of every meat to see what we liked the most. I think the servers and kitchen were a bit confused because we did lose some orders and didn’t have dishes come for 27 minutes, and some confusion was had on what mean was what and I got sent the wrong things often, however, the staff was super apologetic and did their best to help. Not a big deal.

Here’s the positives of what we found:
-The best meat by far was the oxtail. They’re cubed and extremely well marbled.
-The a5 wagyu short rib is by far the best of the a5 cuts, it’s outstanding. The a5 top round we didn’t feel was that great or nearly as special as the short rib. There’s many other cuts of wagyu and 4 of a5 wagyu but we preferred the short rib.
-The beef bulgogi was super tasty. Sadly we got tired of all the unseasoned beef and this was one of the few if not ONLY marinaded beef item that provided relief.
-The sushi is actually DELICIOUS. One of the freshest and best lion king rolls I’ve had. We loved the fried California roll too, and the ocean roll and house rolls were great. Whoever said buffet quality is tripping. These were freshly made, balanced well with rice and fish, and tasty.
-The chicken karaage had no business being that good.. the chicken was so tender, with a PERFECT light batter crunch. Did not expect it to be this good I got it 3 times!
-The tonkatsu was very very good, but the black garlic noodles were superb. So glad they have some soups to add variety.
-Very attentive staff

Here’s what needs work:
-Not enough meat variety at all. Only chicken option is chicken bulgogi? Only one option of pork belly, and it’s just plain pork belly? Why not offer more marinades? I get the focus is the wagyu but you can only keep eating so much plain beef.
-Salad bar is pathetic. I love that you can get your own kimchi and such but it has like two salad options, one jello cup, one pudding, one mango cake, and one or two fruit choices? Really seemed weak.
-Needs more variety in general for the price. The menu gets bland sort of quickly. Include drinks or something at $80.
-Value at the diamond level didn’t seem totally worth it. I’ve been more satisfied with meals from way cheaper places. Our go to, Goku, does kbbq and hot pot for $35 and we leave happier.

We figure this is a place worth visiting a few times a year max at the diamond level. It’s pretty good and we did enjoy enough things on the menu, but not enough to keep coming back often.

I was worried about some of the reviews I read but overall we had a Very pleasant experience. We came on a Saturday night and had reservations at 7. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservatiom time but thats understandable for a nusy Saturday night. Ordering was easy, we only had to ask for a couple missing items but our waiter was very attentive. Actually all the servers were very nice and helpful. It was definitely a busy time, but for the most part we got our food in a timely manner. Food quality was very good. Really enjoyed the meats and salad area they had. The clay pot fried rice was definitely yummy. Great price for all the food we got. We ordered the Gold package. Oh sushi was really yummy too. Oh last thing is I liked how the meat portions were not too big so we were able to sample a bunch of different things without worrying about wasting food. However, it was only two of us at dinner. This could be problematic for larger groups because you are only allowed to order 10 items at a time (this includes veggies, sides, and meats). Good thing is you can order from the app every 3 minutes. So its not like you have to have the wait for the waiter to come take your order each time. Its more convenient this way. So overall, our experience was really enjoyable. Now I have to go to the gym to burn off all the calories I consumed lol but it was worth it!

Okay, so the meat was just alright, nothing special. I was actually pretty shocked at how good the sushi and the other little dishes were. It’s super convenient to order more using the QR code they provide. The staff was really attentive and made sure everything was going smoothly. Definitely a decent place to grab a bite!

Can’t wait to visit after they’re re-opened after the newly remodel. From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was friendly and seated us quickly.

We had the premium menu which got a wide variety of dishes – first thing first, as a meat lover, I’m here for Japanese Wagyu!!!!! Each cut of Wagyu was beautifully marbled , melt-in-your-mouth tender, my favorite was short rib, perfectly marinated, they also got sashimi & sushi rolls added to menu.

Services was great the night we were there, we never had empty cups food came out pretty fast.

Price – Very reasonable for the amount and variety of food offered. You definitely get your money’s worth, especially if you come hungry.

For anyone new to this place, it was recently rebranded. What used to be Xian Steam Pot & Yakiniku is now 牛浪人 Wagyu Grill AYCE Barbeque, Sushi & Bar. With the rebrand came some small changes—digital fireplace dividers and updated wall décor—but overall the look is mostly unchanged. The new name feels like a move for better search engine optimization.

What has changed, unfortunately, is the menu. It’s smaller, with fewer and less appealing options.

If you’ve never been here before, it’s still one of the better AYCE BBQ and American sushi spots in the area. But for me, it feels like I had gold in my hands, and it was swapped for silver—at roughly the same price.

I had been a loyal customer of the old restaurant, easily giving it 5/5 stars, and I introduced everyone I knew to it, bringing all my friends here. What kept me coming back was the premium-tier AYCE oysters, the playful starter dishes with dry ice smoke for presentation, and even thoughtful details like steamed eggs served in an egg-shaped bowl. Those small touches gave the restaurant a unique, high-end charm. Sadly, all of that has been stripped away, replaced by a sushi menu that feels more like filler than value.

The new menu is heavy on American-style sushi rolls—California rolls and similar items clearly aimed at boosting profit margins. Great for business, maybe, but not appealing for customers who once came here for value, variety, and uniqueness.

That was their moat—the oysters, the unique dishware, the creative presentation, and the unbeatable variety. I haven’t seen another place offer oysters alongside BBQ and steam pot. It made the experience feel special and worth the price. Now, without those touches, it feels like just another BBQ restaurant with sushi—and there are plenty of those.

Usually, when I write reviews, I take a ton of photos of unique and creative dishes. This time, I struggled to find anything worth photographing.

The “premium” menu doesn’t feel premium anymore. It no longer delivers the same value, especially compared to what we used to get.

For me, it feels almost like a breakup. I lost what was once my favorite restaurant in the area. Like a fallen empire—once great, now in shambles. I understand running a restaurant is hard, and nothing good lasts forever. I’ve rated the previous restaurant 5/5. This restaurant is not as as good as before so I’ll still give this restaurant 3 stars.

Tried this place for their $25 AYCE wagyu lunch and I was impressed with the value. The meat cuts were good quality, thinly sliced, and tasty for the price. Service was fast and attentive, and I liked the variety of appetizers. A nice touch was that they provided beef fat for the grill instead of butter, which gave the meat a richer flavor.

The only downside—and it’s a big one—was seeing cockroaches in the bathroom during the day. That really put me off, especially since everything else about the dining experience was great.

If they address the cleanliness issue, this could easily be one of the better spots for AYCE wagyu in the area.
