Oyama BBQ

"BBQ skewers are expensive. I went there with my friend. They didn’t fill our cups with water when we were dining at the restaurant, or offer to provide bowls when we were having the spicy soup, until I asked them. Then when I checked out they were surprised and blamed me for not tipping them. I said I am a student and don’t have income. They said I better order their takeouts next time. Poor service didn’t deserve any tips."

"Berkeley Students' Best Bang for the Buck! New Management Brings a Fresh Culinary Experience! Hello everyone! Today, I want to introduce you to a restaurant located in Berkeley that used to be relatively unknown, with mediocre food. However, now, with new management taking over, it has undergone a remarkable transformation, making it the go-to place for Berkeley students in terms of value for money! The restaurant's name hasn't changed, but the owner has, so make sure to remember the address! First, let's talk about the prices. At this restaurant, $100 can easily satisfy two people with an abundance of delicious dishes! Whether you're a student or a working professional, this price point is incredibly budget-friendly. What's more, the quality of the food has seen a significant improvement. If you're a fan of spicy food, then this place is an absolute paradise for you. Their spicy hot pot and hot dishes will not disappoint. Moreover, if you feel it's not spicy enough, you can request extra spice, and they'll tailor it to your taste. Overall, the changes at this restaurant are truly astonishing. Whether it's the taste of the food or the affordability of the prices, it's hard to believe. If you're a Berkeley student, this place is undoubtedly the king of budget-friendly and nearby dining options. Don't miss out on this opportunity; hurry up and give it a try!"

"This place is so relaxing, the food is great and the service is good too. This is my 2nd time to visit, definitely will come back again!"

"After a 3 hours hike at Mt. Diablo in walnut creek, my friends and I decided to come here for some Chinese Barbecue Skewers. There were six of us and wee couldn't finish the food and pack some of the food. The food quality was very good. The meat was very well marinated. I really like humin and the species they sprinkle on the food. I like the charcoal grill taste from barbecue. I highly recommend you try the lamb skewer and beef skewers. Also, if you like organs, chicken heart and pig intestines are very good too. For side dishes, I also really like the grill eggplant and cold dish - shredded potatoes. If you feel like some rice and noodle, their sour and spicy noodle are very good, but very spicy. Beside the food, the service was decent for a typical Chinese restaurant. The services was fast and efficient. Of course, don't expect a Michelin star service. The price was reasonable. We ordered too much, so we end up with $75 person (include tips). I think a $35-50 person should be a fair a average price."

"Their corn, pork, beef, and enoki mushroom wrapped with bacon are great. We order more than 200 for 6 people, and we are far from finishing it, which suggests the serving is good. Recommend to try this place."
