Not a very good first time experience for us at YAMI. We visited the restaurant not having the intention to try their massive selection of Korean Style barbeque/grill meats. We wanted something on a lighter fare. The restaurant is a vibrant, modem and upscale, with a separate seating section equipped with the table mounted cooking grills for those ordering the bbq.We ordered the shumai (steamed shrimp dumplings) and YAMI garden salad for starters, with Hot stone vegetable bibimbap and YAMI fried rice for entrees. Shumai and salad were just ok, the bibimbap was over cooked as the vegetables and rice were burnt on contact with the hot stone, and fried rice was totally flavorless.Based on this visit alone, we were not impressed at all. Perhaps the rest of their menu, particularly the bbq would fare much better.
Really enjoyed the pork belly and chicken. They have a ton of flattop grill options. Went with the pork belly and the spicy chicken on this visit. The spicy chicken was flavorful and seriously delicious, thought it wasn’t really spicy at all (the side of kimchi added spice to the party!). If you’re used to really spicy food you might not find much kick in the chicken but the flavor is delicious overall. Pork was great too, really liked the extra sauces with it.Opted for a bowl of the soon tofu soup with beef. That had some delicious spice and went well with the rest of the meal.Service was ok, had a few different servers throughout the meal. There’s a full bar with classic drinks like Terra. Tons of seating and a big projector playing K-pop on one wall.
This is an excellent Korean restaurant where they also serve great sushi. The atmosphere is excellent, ideally suited to small groups and they have K-pop playing on a very large screen but it is not so loud as to make conversation impossible. There are a lot of Asian people there whenever I go and I see this as a sign that the food is as it should be. The staff is first class and efficient and the owner is often present and will greet you at the door or stop by your table to say hello. Prices are right but they do add a service fee for groups of 4 or more.
We did the Korean BBQ. Food was great and there was a lot of it. Sushi was really good too. Even though they were understaffed and super busy they were still friendly, in good spirits, and very helpful. Our server checked on us throughout our meal and showed tips and tricks to cooking the meat. We will definitely be coming back.
Went for our anniversary, I thought the Korean bbq would be something we’d both enjoyed a new experience! We picked Combo C we loved it so much, can’t wait to come back with our family it was delicious the staff was great always coming and checking if we need any help. Definitely recommend to everyone!!
We went on a weekend for lunch to try a new Korean Japanese place. The food here didn’t disappoint at all. We had bibimap, Dumpling Soup and shrimp fried rice. However I was expecting a better ambience and disappointed. The service was excellent, the server gave me recommendations and details on the preparation style. Definitely worth dining here for a Korean fare. Their bbq is the one that stands out for jean eaters with dedicated BBQ tables
Had my birthday celebration there with friends, and though it started out a little concerning with the number of large reservations they had at the same time, it all worked out perfectly. My friends and I had a truly amazing time, and the staff was so attentive even while being short staffed. Their food and drinks are both so so good! Especially love the tteokbokki!
Food was good the dol sot bibimba was great the loved the burnt rice. The soup was hot and very serious when they say spicy.
I came here after walking around the mall and it was like therapy. The staff was so friendly. I was able to sip sake, enjoy some very good quality food, and watch kpop music videos. Absolutely my new favorite spot! Very relaxing and positive experience.
