Five Spice BBQ

Always down to explore new places and novel dinning experiences this place was pitched on a "for you" page on a social media platform.
Food is one thing that brings people together.
Located in Cary, NC in the Preston area, we found a new way to share time with the people you love and participate in preparing your own food.
The food is accessible (mostly raw) on the iPad order list.
We had a smiling and energetic assist to get us started as this was my partner and I first visit.
The gas cook surface/pit is central to the table with the controls managed by our server or experience facilitator.
The disc oiled cook surface is dropped in place and the heat is immediatedly prepping the metal for the goodness to follow.
Just make your selection of first items to grill, curry chicken and steak strips and veggies and I suggest an appetizer.
We were told during our in-service to ignore the sign stating a $20 sur charge for wasting food...
seems fair to me but we are here to give this experience a positive spin and go-at-it . Due to the design of cook surface there is little smoke when cooking and I would suggest cooking in stages as the burner stays in the whole time.
We also steamed broccoli and other veggies.
This is not Hibachi, this was different and to me a better more intimate setup as we both learned to cook and eat in short order.
Thumbs up, oh don't forget your ice cream cups!

So much fun! So much food! All you can eat, dinner, was $35 and I ordered so much meat!! The ribs were a little hard to get off the bone but still tasty! The calamari was a little fishy for my taste, but still good.
The sauces to dip were delicious, the miso was the best! We had never been to a place like this before, the experience was really cool.
They come through and change the grill top every so often so nothing burns or sticks.
Overall I would totally come back and can’t wait to!

Good Korean bbq place.
$35 on the weekend for unlimited meats, veggies , and appetizers.
There was no wait for my group of four on a Saturday afternoon.
I LOVED the garlic shrimp, that was the only protein I had that I wanted to get more of.
I also LOVED the fried chicken wings , they had the perfect fry.
The kimchi was not very good to me.
The service was very nice, they helped us cook a lot and replaced our grilled plenty of times.
I would return for more garlic shrimp and strawberry soju !
