Kauboi BBQ & Izakaya - Plano (TX)

5 /5 Bailee Baird: I was looking for a great sushi place for dinner tonight and I remembered the Kauboi opened last year and I was really excited to try it. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly the atmosphere was beautiful. The style is more focused on Japanese bbq but the sushi was impeccable! I have never had a mango roll so fresh in my life the only thing I can compare it to was eating mango in Hawaii! If you like tuna towers they have a great tower it was very delicious. The miso soup was another favorite similar to many miso soups I’ve had but somehow even better flavor with thinly sliced onions. And last, but not least we ordered the spicy garlic edamame. Emphasis on SPICY! I loved it! Overall a great experience and I’m excited to come back!

5 /5 Phillip Pham: A Feast Worth the Food Coma If you’re looking for a place where your taste buds throw a party and your stomach questions your life choices, this is it. I came here for my girlfriend’s birthday, and WOW! What an experience! Ken, our server, deserves a medal (or at least unlimited sushi for life). The staff was attentive without hovering like helicopter parents, and even the bartender popped by to make sure our drinks were living their best life. The food? Fantastic. The Japanese BBQ and sushi combo is basically a cheat code for happiness. The meat selections for the BBQ were solid, and the special nigiri? Absolutely on point, although fair warning, they limit it to one order per person. The decor was amazing, both the food presentation and the restaurant layout were stylish and inviting, making the whole experience feel elevated. Pro tip: pace yourself. It’s all-you-can-eat, not all-you-can-regret. Over-ordering is tempting, but trust me, you want to leave room for the “last leg” of the menu because you’ll want to finish strong, not tap out halfway through. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? 100%. Just bring your appetite and maybe a game plan.

5 /5 momo: Finally, the Plano area gets some good and fresh KBBQ. Its not really Japanese BBQ, but the quality of the meat is fresh. We did the Rodeo Option so that we could dine on the premium ribeye, boneless short ribs and their special fresh premium sushi. The meats we would definitely order again are of course the premium ribeye and the premium boneless short ribs. The pork jowl has a thicker cut and grills perfectly. The pork belly is another great meat option. The sushi here is the freshest and also incorporated into the AYCE option. There is plenty to choose from. The service here is great and the place is clean. You can leave her not selling like grilled meats. They have great ventilation here.

1 /5 Pet Spaw mobile Ma: I got charged 40% tips . This is so wrong! I was thrilled to try this establishment after seeing it on Instagram last month, but unfortunately, my experience was somewhat disappointing. The primary reason for my visit was to indulge in Wagyu, but I found the selection of meats to be limited, lacking juiciness, and the Wagyu steak was chewy. Despite attempting to order a second Wagyu steak cooked to a different level, it remained unimpressive. The Wagyu brisket tasted remarkably similar to regular brisket, which was unexpected. Having had Wagyu meat prior to this experience, I can confidently say that none of those instances tasted like this. The menu claimed to offer Wagyu, but the flavor profile was more akin to regular steak. Additionally, the garlic pork and garlic shrimp were overly salty. The marinated kabi meat lacked the expected juiciness, and the crispy rice was both too salty and sweet. Notably, the $40 all-you-can-eat price does not include drinks, with soda priced at $3.99. Honestly, I do not plan on returning. The sushi was acceptable, albeit with a limited serving of rice, which was a positive aspect. I have tried several restaurants promoted on Instagram, and I have come to realize that the reviews from these sources are not trustworthy. I question whether these reviewers receive compensation for their endorsements. .
