Shin Yakiniku Japanese BBQ

We love Korean bbq and this place is a hidden gem. Located on a strip mall like plaza, the restaurant was very clean and the service was attentive. They have not only Korean bbq, but also noodle soups, noodle dishes and sushi that can be added to AYCE for an extra $5. Unheard of nowadays. Please give this place a try. It won't disappoint.

Great food and very friendly staff! Looks different than your typical kbbq restaurant, it reminds me of my family home with the tiled counter tops. It's great for big parties too since there's a lot of space. We ordered lots of different meats for $34.95. We loved the beef belly, pork belly, brisket and the ribeye stood out to us. There's a lot of side dishes and appetizers that were amazing too. They all had great flavor with good portion sizes. The shrimp Rangoon was a big surprise that we really liked.

We visited for a weekend dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the lack of a wait and fewer customers compared to other BBQ spots on Spring Mountain. We were seated immediately upon arrival. We noticed the price had increased from $27 to $34. While the menu seemed largely the same as before, we decided to stay and enjoy our meal. It was curious, though, that despite the restaurant being relatively quiet, there were plenty of servers on the floor. In fact, three different servers took our orders at the table. Despite the high number of staff, they made several mistakes with our orders. One server didn't even write anything down when we placed a sizable order. He seemed rather disengaged and suggested we order all our side dishes from the first row of the menu, likely to make it easier for him to remember. We politely insisted on ordering exactly what we wanted, as we were at an all-you-can-eat BBQ. At one point, I ordered three oyster tempura, but they never arrived. We also ordered pickled onions, but instead, they brought us a raw onion for the grill. Then, while my husband was grilling the meat, one of the servers took the tongs from his hand without saying a word and started cooking for us. To top it off, towards the end, they brought meats we ordered twice. Since we were full, we told them they mistakenly brought the same meats twice. The server said "you can still eat it if you want" and did not take the dish back. Lastly, they used to have dessert on the menu as a part of AYCE. Not sure if they got rid of it, but no server asked for the dessert and they said they are taking the last order and brought us a check after. While we were walking out, we saw melona ice cream bars at the entrance area. We've been here before maybe around 5-6 times, and it was definitely a different experience this time with a new staff and service. Although it wasn't busy during our previous visit, both the food and service were excellent. However, it seems like they've raised the price by $7 per person, but the quality of service has definitely declined. The staff was rude, lazy, and seemed uninterested. We were really disappointed.

Yelp Review 2025 #12:I went to Shin with family at 6:30pm on a Friday night. Surprisingly, it wasn't too busy. We didn't have to wait for a table. Once our party was complete, we got seated right away. This used to be a Korean BBQ restaurant but they've kept the same tables, diner seats and everything. They're now serving Japanese BBQ for $30 per person which includes beef, pork, squid, shrimp, chicken, baby octopus, sides, and appetizers, noodles, nabe hotpot, and fried rice. For $5 more, you can also get AYCE sushi. Sounds good, right?They have 4 seasonings for the meat: garlic salt, sweet soy, spicy marinade, and miso. We tried different cuts of beef, and pork in garlic salt, and sweet soy. The beef brisket did terrible on the wire grill (the only grill they have) - it's too thin and would stick to the grill so it ripped to pieces. We tried the asparagus, oyster mushrooms, zucchini, tuna poke, tuna Tataki, fried oysters, and Galbi hot stone fried rice.We just sat down and just got menus and a server was already giving us food which was somebody else's obviously. We placed our first round of meat, sides, and appetizer order. You can order up to 4 meat orders at a time. It took a while to get them and there were a few meats we didn't get so we had to follow up. We asked for water to drink - didn't get it. Servers would walk past us without checking on us. I literally had to yell "EXCUSE ME!" to get somebody's attention. Once again, a few items were missing. Repeat that multiple times for the 4 orders we placed. It was a very long night. By 8:15pm, one of the servers told us it was last call - their website states last call is at 10:30pm on Fridays. WTH? Service was completely awful and disorganized.They don't have a vent at each table so you definitely smell like smoke. It was not a pleasant experience overall. There are plenty of AYCE restaurants in Vegas, go elsewhere.

The food here was excellent. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. However, we came in on Valentines at prime dinner time, and although the staff was extremely pleasant, they were overwhelmed. We waited about 20 min to be seated, but then waited almost 30-45 min before our food came out and when the food did come out it was all the wrong items. We didn't mind and ate what they gave. I actually felt really bad because you could tell they were trying the best they could. The food itself was worth going back for. Go give them a try!

My party and I came here after finding out the wait at 888 was over 2 hours long. The experience felt pretty similar in terms of food and ambiance. There was 0 wait at this place and we came during Thanksgiving week. Food was well seasoned and the staff was attentive since there weren't too many parties at the restaurant. Both the bbq and sushi dishes were tasty.My only con is that air ventilation could be better at this place.

I have usually had very good experience of this place in the past but I have no idea what was going on with the service of last night. It was quite a disaster, I was embarrassed to bring someone here for their first time. Now I understand if our waitress was new, but ignoring our table bell and having to wave her down constantly we had to ask just any server coming by for our service. Some of the things we were missing in our order we got told they were out of when we flagged the other servers. While the waitress was trying to be nice, she noticed that I have ordered shrimp tempura and I ordered the shrimp rangoo from the first round she doubled the amount of shrimp tempura for me since we were later told that they were out of the shrimp rangoo.The manager saw that were werent cooking this one plate of meat and took the tongs out of my hand and tried to put it on the grill but he stopped and said "is this the tuna?" and I said "No this is the BEEF CARPACCIO" then he put the tongs down the left. We know what meats to cook and how to cook it.The time my friend and I went the business was not busy yet, the restaurant was not filled and it was before dinner rush. So we were confused on why our service was slow as well. I will give it doubt because like I said, I have gotten better service from here in the past and my friend and I did enjoy the food. But we just did not enjoy the service last night.

Food and service was incredible. Angie was very helpful, fast, and made the experience great!

Best Korean BBQ in Vegas. Ask for Angie, she is the best! Ambiance is perfect. Short people welcome.

The second we walked in the door, Max greeted us with a smile and welcomed us happily. Him and Angie were both really nice and attentive as well as the other staff. The food tasted great and did not disappoint us. You can actually get a lot for its really good price. The place was really clean and very neat. You could see how well maintained it is from its staff, to the food, and how they take good care of the place! We will definitely come back here!
