Ushiya Grill

FOOD we got the premium menu. honestly i am not a meat connoisseur so i cant really say anything about the meat. it was good. also ordered fries and miso soup. miso soup was very salty. fries were good but not enough ketchup. the sauces for the meat were also very good SERVICE service was good. everyone was kind and patient. ENVIRONMENT floors are a bit greasy (that's a given for a grill place). very crowded and warm, lot's of people. there's also a time limit (90 mins if i recall correctly). bathroom definitely did not have enough stalls

There was a lot of parking and the service was great! It is on the expensive side but I do recommend it. They would give you a QR code for you to scan to order. If you get the Wagyu tier, you will get complimentary sodas with it. I'm so happy the portion was so much smaller so we got to try a lot of things before tapping out. Surprisingly, I didn't feel gross afterwards or got those "meaty" sweats. This has been nice for once in a while event or special occasions.

For $35 this is one of the best all you can eat in the area! Tons of different meats, even on the base signature menu, and a lot of different appetizers with even more different types of dishes coming soon! This is a Japanese style barbecue where there's a hot grill in the middle and you order different types of raw meats from beef, chicken and pork all in a All you can eat style and you only have 1 hour 30 mins to order different foods. Ordering is done using a QR code and you can only order up to six items at a time. Although you can make multiple orders back to back with the exception of meat, meats have a 6-minute cool down. It doesn't really matter anyway because if you have a big group you can go through these meats pretty quickly, especially some of the ones that are easy to cook that are almost shabu shabu like such as the beef, chuck roll or some of the beef short rib. Keep in mind an extra surcharge of 20% may be added on top of the bill if there's too much excessive food, but there can be a little bit such as fries and maybe leftover rice. Cooking the food on the grill wasn't too bad. However we did experience some moments of where the flame either started to grow weak or completely die off, so don't completely overload the grill if you don't need to. Otherwise, you may need to contact someone to restart the flame. Also make sure to keep the grill in check as best you can. Sometimes the flame will grow even more powerful in the presence of some marinated meats. Speaking of service, the waiters were pretty spotty in terms of checking up on the table and grill. Sometimes it would take at least 5 minutes to get someone to restart the flame, but another instance would take 20-30 seconds every single time for someone to come in and clean up the table and get more water. Overall, it's very nice to see a Japanese style barbecue in this area, especially ones that don't appear too often in Milpitas. It's just a shame that this had to replace the MLBB Hot pot that was here before and TK noodle before that. The decorations aren't as expressive as they once were, but do have a Japanese style the best they can. Overall, I don't mind to come back here sometime maybe with some friends and stuff.

A bit more pricy all you can eat Japanese style BBQ that's a pretty solid quality. That's the gist of it, their meats are all decent, I'd say it's worth the price for how much better they are then similar all you can eat restaurants. I would recommend anyone who is interested.

Comming into ushiya was great! Had a wonderful experience especially with our server Fonda warm welcoming. She was able to explain how the ordering system works very clearly which we can really appreciate! If you ever want to have a good first experience I'd say try the premium set and you will leave impressed. You'll see exactly what i mean when through the pictures and let me tell you something.. the wagyu shortrib is my favorite throughout the whole experience, marbling was mesmerizing and while having the first try it's butter like texture while being juicy! Overall experience was a 10/10

On a Wednesday evening, I was really craving yakiniku so, along with a group of friends, I went to Ushiya. I had gone to ushiya closer to when it had first opened and still had a lot of hype and loved my time there. However, this time was not nearly as good. The meat quality wasn’t all the same, and the grills didn’t even sit flush above the flame as they have been warped significantly over time. This leads to a lot of the meat cooking unevenly as the surface of the grill is completely uneven. One plus is that there was basically no wait time at all for a party of 6, but that doesn’t make up for the drop in quality. Service was really great though and the server was happy to help out whenever we needed. Overall, I would probably skip this option from now on as there are a lot of newer options that may be better for the price.

One of my go to spots now for AYCE meats! The below is based on my first time..but I've gone a handful of times since. They do Yelp Waitlist, which is pretty accurate. I believe they also take reservations too. I showed up a bit later, but told the staff, and they put my name back on the list. AYCE premium $55/head $17 asahi super dry pitcher Our highlights were: fatty brisket wagyu short rib premium tongue center beef small intestine quite good Sides were limited, but lettuce was fresh. You can order 6 meats at a time, but you can order multiple times at once (if you order 6 meats, you can immediately order another 6) 90 min limit I'm sure it is more busy and hectic during peak hours. Weekday dinners probably a good time to go or right when they open. A few notes for improvement: -solely commenting on the diet coke...it is flatter than most fountain sodas, so might need to get it checked -it would be nice if there were physical pictures or marks/comments of which meat was what Should be able to find parking in the plaza.
