The food was good enough. First time trying the Beef Tartare and it was surprisingly tasty.
The dining area was spacious as it seemed to have been renovated and expanded.
The service, however,could have been better. All the orders done on the phone were very fast. But, if you wanted to ask for something else, they would take forever before returning to the table with what you wanted.
But, overall, good experience for our group.

Wow just wow i’m in shock no words. Really bland overpriced food. They serve you unseasoned meat. The marinated options were clearly not fresh. Service only good from the amigos though. Really really overpriced. Crying baby and no cellular service in the restaurant. Food was so bad i fell asleep during the meal. and their fume hood was not working anywhere so whole restaurant was smoked up. would not recommend anything
the only way i can sleep was if my stomach was full of blood so my body would not feel any more like it was when my body started feeling better so it would not feel as much pain and it was a good idea for my stomach was a little bit better than my body is a lot worse but it is a little better than my heart

I have received the best customer service from YakiniQ in Livermore compared to any AYCE Korean BBQ I have tried. Their food is good, their service is fast, and I like their dining room. I received all my orders in less than five minutes every time I placed them on my phone. They replace the grilles quickly without asking. This is an excellent AYCE KBBQ; I’m sure I will return soon!

They tried to charge us the three pieces of meat on the grill for 5.99 per pound which they did not do anything with the three complete plates of meat left on the other table. I talked to the “manager” and she said they did charge and we just didn’t see their bill. But we witnessed the whole process while we were waiting to be seated. The people there just paid and left, no one even mentioned about the leftovers or took the food to weigh! This was not about money but equality. We will definitely not going back to this place for their poor management, nor will our friends and family. But services from the amigos were very good.

Came here on a Saturday night and waited around 5 minutes for two of us. Overall we had a great time. All you can eat for roughly $35 a person and you get to cook it yourself at the table. I have had Korean BBQ a few times but the service was outstanding; every single person around was available to answer questions about cooking the meat, changing the grill, menu questions (they have rules for ordering short ribs), etc. Everything is ordered via the QR code including the sides like rice and rice papers, which I actually like because it lets you see what you are ordering, and lays out the quantity you will receive. Some of the meats did come out in smaller portions but it was clearly shown on the ordering menu which we enjoyed as a two person party because then we could try different meats and not get a ton of the same thing. This place is great for first time KBBQ eaters because everyone is friendly and helpful. The owner was especially nice and hands on; he even helped us cook some of the meat we ordered himself. Him and his daughter have great taste in cars as well!

We came here for a birthday dinner as a group. We used the online waitlist option, which was helpful. They have a small parking lot which was full when we got there, but there was ample Street parking. We ordered via our cell phones. People brought out food fairly quickly with some exceptions. Overall decent quality of food.

I came here to try the all you can eat, and was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality.
I got to the restaurant around 6, and entered the waitlist around 5:45pm. I tried entering it earlier, but the yelp wait list didn’t actually say there was a wait until all of a sudden, the wait jumped to 19 parties in line and a 58-88 minute wait. In total, we waited about an hour after arriving (for a party of 3).
The menu is pretty standard, with a regular option, and a premium menu for $4 more, which included some cuts of American Wagyu. All ordering is done via a mobile website, accessed by a QR code the host gives you when they seat you.
The meat quality was pretty top notch, though each individual serving was a little smaller than I was expecting. Not necessarily a bad thing, since it allows you to try more meats. Their sauces were also good – their wasabi mustard paired well with fatty pork! The only difference I noticed was that some items, like noodles or side dishes costed extra.
The service was also really good – servers were constantly coming around to clear empty meat serving dishes, replace grills, ect. Your online menu also had an option to call a server if needed. Meat, when ordered, is brought out pretty quickly, faster than most other all you can eat places I’ve been to recently. The grill is also a huge plus – there’s a ring around the edge of the grill, which vacuums in the smoke from the grilling. Though it doesn’t catch 100%, you won’t leave the restaurant smelling completely like smoke!
Overall, a fantastic find in downtown Livermore. Good meat quality, excellent service, and reasonable prices. Just be prepared for a 1-2 hour wait if you don’t enter the waitlist ahead of time!

In general, it is Good.
But not as good as the San Jose one we usually go.
The dipping sauces are American BBQ and mustard, not real korean mustard and Korean radish sauce.
The grill change is slower than SJ branch.
But in general, it is more fine dining style compare to SJ branch’s real Korean decorations.

Is it a franchisee of restaurants in San Jose? It was much cleaner and of better quality than San Jose. I only picked up at the San Jose store, but I knew the quality of the meat was good. It met both advantages. I recommend a premium package. Cold noodles after meals were also delicious.
The staff was kind and we could have a beer at the bar while waiting. If you need to go to livermore Outlet or play golf on East Bay, I highly recommend you to visit it at least once.

My first experience here few months ago was absolutely outstanding.
This time the meat was horrible, chewy and full of fat. It was just an awful thing.
Service is excellent.
Afraid to try again!
