Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's included in the all-you-can-eat experience at 88 Korean BBQ & Sushi?

    The all-you-can-eat format lets you order from multiple food categories during one visit—Korean BBQ meats you cook at the table, sushi, hot pot, teriyaki, noodle and rice dishes. You're not limited to one type of food, so you can mix Korean BBQ with sushi or try hot pot alongside other selections throughout your meal.
  • How does Korean BBQ work at the table?

    You select meats like ribeye, pork belly, tri-tip, or salt rib, and they're brought to your table where you cook them yourself on a built-in grill. The interactive setup lets everyone control doneness and pace, making it a shared cooking experience rather than waiting for plated dishes from the kitchen.
  • Can you order sushi and Korean BBQ during the same meal?

    Yes, the all-you-can-eat format covers both sushi and Korean BBQ, so you can order from both categories in one visit. This setup works well for groups with different preferences or anyone who wants to alternate between grilled meats and Japanese-inspired selections without choosing just one style.
  • What Korean BBQ meats are available at 88 Korean BBQ & Sushi?

    The menu includes ribeye, pork belly, tri-tip, and salt rib among the Korean BBQ options. Each cut cooks differently at the table—ribeye and pork belly develop char quickly, while tri-tip and salt rib benefit from slightly longer cooking to bring out flavor and tenderness.
  • Is hot pot different from Korean BBQ at this restaurant?

    Hot pot uses simmering broth instead of a grill, so you cook ingredients by submerging them rather than searing them. It's a separate cooking method offered alongside Korean BBQ, giving you two distinct table-centered experiences depending on whether you want grilled flavors or broth-based cooking.
  • What makes all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ good for groups with different tastes?

    The format covers Korean BBQ, sushi, hot pot, teriyaki, and noodle and rice dishes, so each person can order what they prefer without the group committing to one cuisine. Kids can choose teriyaki or rice dishes while adults cycle through BBQ and sushi, all within the same pricing structure.
  • Does 88 Korean BBQ & Sushi work for families with kids in Tyler?

    The restaurant welcomes children and offers menu categories beyond Korean BBQ—teriyaki, noodle and rice dishes, and sushi—that give younger diners familiar options. The tableside cooking setup also engages kids who enjoy watching food prepared in front of them rather than just eating pre-plated meals.
  • What drinks pair with Korean BBQ and sushi at 88 Korean BBQ & Sushi?

    The restaurant has a full bar for adults and offers bubble tea and slushies as non-alcoholic specialty drinks. Bubble tea and slushies provide refreshing contrast to grilled meats and rich flavors, while the bar gives adults pairing options for a longer, social meal.
  • Can you get bubble tea at 88 Korean BBQ & Sushi?

    Yes, bubble tea is available as a specialty beverage alongside the food menu. It's a popular choice to balance heavier dishes like Korean BBQ or hot pot, and it works as either a drink during the meal or something to sip after finishing the all-you-can-eat experience.
  • What's the difference between teriyaki and Korean BBQ at this restaurant?

    Korean BBQ involves cooking raw meats yourself at the table, while teriyaki arrives as a prepared dish with sauce already applied. Teriyaki suits diners who prefer not to cook their own food or want a quicker, more predictable option within the broader all-you-can-eat format.
  • Are noodle and rice dishes part of the all-you-can-eat menu?

    Yes, noodle and rice dishes are included in the all-you-can-eat experience. They add filling, familiar options for guests who want something substantial alongside Korean BBQ or sushi, or for those who prefer not to focus entirely on grilled or raw selections.
