YakiniQ LV

Good food, the service was good too. It was just a long wait since they can only accommodate a few tables. We went on a weekend. However, they need to improve on the exhaust. Each grill has its own but the entire place needs its own exhaust and ventilation.

The food was really good. I daydream about their bulgogi beef. It was so good, you didn't even need a sauce! Their pork belly was good too, though I recommend using a sauce with it. The garlic chicken didn't taste garlicky at all, though that was the only downside with the food.

They did accidentally lose us on the wait-list but managed to find us a table quickly when we pointed it out. It's also only a soft opening so you can't find a spot for a group larger than 6 and it's a squeeze, but apparently they are working on the second half of the restaurant so the grand opening might have bigger table. Also, do make a reservation! We made that mistake and had to wait almost an hour to get a table.

YakiniQ LV is having their soft opening right now! My party was seated quickly. At this restaurant, you place your order online (they provide a QR code) and the quick and attentive service staff bring things to you — no need to wait for a server. Staff always kept an eye on our grills and changed them out at the right time. The meat quality at YakiniQ is great as well! Everything tasted fresh and high-quality.

I do want to withhold a star due to the banchan. The potato and macaroni salad was more American-style, having raisins in it. I have never seen raisins in these Korean side-dishes and it was off-putting to me. I also did not like the salad and fish cake as well because they were not seasoned like Korean food usually is. The banchan made this KBBQ spot taste less "K" and bit more "A". Less traditional is fine, I'm just nitpicking since I love to cook Korean food.

Overall, I highly recommend this place for their great service and high-quality meats. If you are tired (and hungry) after a long day and don't feel like waiting for or speaking to anyone, this is absolutely the place to try.

I came here with a group of friends, and overall we had a great experience. We waited about 30-35mins for a table on a Friday night. When we got to our table, all of the side dishes were already set out and the grill was ready to go.

All of the ordering is done via your phone; they give you a tag with a QR code, and everyone in your party can order separately and add it to the same bill. Just be aware that you will get charges for leftovers. The food itself was great, especially the short rib, spicy chicken, pork belly and the ramen.

I've seen people on here complain about it being smoky or not having overhead vents above the tables, but it's not that bad. There is ventilation built into the grills at each table, and while it can get a little smoky at times, it never lasts that long. It's no worse than what you experience at a Japanese steakhouse.

The service was impeccable amd we always had someone coming by the table to drop off food, change out grill plates or pick up dirty plates. The staff really works hard to make it a great experience.

Overall, I really enjoyed my first dining experience at Yakini, and I look forward to going back.
