" Wow, what an experience! I brought my family, and we loved every moment. The variety of side dishes was impressive; each added a unique flavor to the meal. I'm not usually a fan of KBBQ, but the short ribs here converted me! The only downside was that it got a bit noisy with all the guests. However, nothing beats the taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Yakini Q based on a friend's recommendation, and it did not disappoint! The marinated rib-eye was a stand-out! I also loved the grilled vegetables and side salads. The only downside was the wait – we had a long wait before getting seated on the weekend. Nonetheless, a positive experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had really high hopes for Yakini Q, especially due to all the hype. While the food is fresh and very tasty, I did encounter a slight letdown with the service – it was just too busy and chaotic. Nonetheless, a solid option for Korean BBQ if you can overlook minor service hiccups. Just prepare for a longer wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Yakini Q SJ for my husband’s birthday. I can't stress enough how amazing the quality of the meats was! We chose the premium menu, and it was absolutely worth it. The marinated beef rib was my favorite! Service was attentive, and our food came quickly despite the restaurant being busy. I would come here again in a heartbeat, though I would suggest reservations for larger groups. " (*Curated Review*)

" When you want a good Korean BBQ experience, Yakini Q SJ is a perfect choice. The flavor in every bite was delightful, especially the unadulterated beef cuts. I love the idea of ordering through an app, but the service took a bit of a hit when it was crowded. Still, I enjoyed my meal and plenty of side dishes as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Awful experience! I had to wait forever to be seated, and once we were, our orders kept getting mixed up. The food itself was fine, but the chaos made it hard to enjoy. I was really hoping for a better experience based on all the positive reviews. Very disappointed and wouldn’t come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing AYCE Korean BBQ! The quality was top-notch, and I could absolutely taste the freshness in the meat. The side dishes complemented the meal well. I particularly liked the potato salad. Our server was friendly, though they seemed a little overwhelmed during peak hours. I would recommend coming early to avoid long wait times! " (*Curated Review*)
