New BBQ Joint in Scarsdale

[gbeats]

Does anyone know anything about the new BBQ place on Central Ave one block north of Ardsley Road. I think it was a Japanese grocery or something like that. Not sure of the name.

I love k BBQ , I hope they can work it out . I've had Shiraz in elmsford and i liked it a lot, but I was really hoping for some competition in the k BBQ world around here.

I went a few weeks ago and was really looking forward to a cheap korean joint in the neighborhood. I had the BiBamBap and some chicken wings. Both were horrible and the price was high. This place needs a total makeover for me to come back.

I was looking forward to trying it but I guess I'll wait and hopefully they will work out the kinks. It's nice to have something different in westchester rather than pizza, chinese and delis if only they could execute it.

Tried Shiraz in Elmsford, fatboyslim?

[FatBoySlim914]

Not yet...I have kids so its hard to go out to restaurants...looking more for takeout or delivery. There is really no where to get good "foodie food" as delivery or takeout. Someone should really fill that void.

[menton1]

Shiraz will do takeout. I mention it because it's outside of your 3 deadly categories...

I was there last nice. the owner is very nice, but trying too hard to please. He has already dumbed down the flavors, and now there is no heat and all sweet, with no typical Korean flavors. It's best to go once, get a menu, then call in 30 minutes ahead and ask for him to make the dishes with real authentic Korean spicing. I was completely bored with the versions of kalbi, pork bulgogi, and spicy wings I got.

went Sunday- horribly dirty table, dirty counters, dirty walls(don't know how you can dirty a new place so quickly)I asked him to clean the dirt and grease off the table and he wiped and spread it around the table and he was happy with his cleaning skills! Food was sitting under heating lamps with foil over them. Food was warm if not cold, and soo overcooked. I have to say that any Asian flavor/sauce tastes yummy to me(combine sweet and salty for me and I'm good with it) But, it was like eating Asian BBQ junk food. For 2 plates of small shriveled up chicken with some rice and potato and carrot pieces with Parmesan cheese on them(weird) served on a flimsy paper plate, it was over 20.00. Yes, owner is annoying and was so anxious to give such a hard sell about his not "french frying food". I don't understand what kind of food this is but it's like backyard garbage pail bbq. I liked it in Puerto Rico on the side of the road for 2 dollars. He needs to come down to earth and adjust his food/ prices/ health code issues.

So this is just fluff? Was curious to try them out...but now not so much.

It's a half baked attempt for a new restaurant. It doesn't feel like a shiny new place and the seating arrangement was just awkward.

The Korean tacos were't so bad, but they're nothing extraordinary. Yes, overpriced a bit as well. Owner is nice, but my money can be better spent elsewhere.

[menton1]

Sounds like a must to avoid!

[miccheck914]

It seemed promising but I guess not.

now open. had an order of spicy chicken skewers with rice, very ,very good. nothing to compare it to. but i'll be back . a red sweet (somewhat) and spicy sauce covered a good size portion of chicken. menu also has wings,ribs which looked good and filled tacos, but they included fried rice otherwise similiar beef, chicken, pork, salmon,shrimp
. btw they are combined with yogoberry (?) >[e-mail]. don't know if waba menu is on that site too. also they are still working on interior, but food is already very good

I think the name they have on the sign is Waba bbq........or something like that. If you look it up there are others described as Korean BBQ, might be interesting.

[JMF]

I'm excited to see what type of Korean BBQ Waba will be. Will it be another attempt as fine bbq like Kalbi House and Kang Suh? Or more of a quick, cheap lunch spot? Either way I hope they do it well.

Are you referring to where New Star Market Korean grocery used to be? I remember seeing a BBQ sign also. Korean BBQ maybe? Give Kang Suh and Kalbi House some competition?

Yes, seem to be right--across from the old Rustico, new 7/11, etc. I was hoping we might see Korean fried chicken in there.

[pabboy]

So long as it's not another fro-yo place.

[Maryld]

Amen to that!

[Maryld]

Yes, we saw the sign too on Saturday night and were wondering as well. My husband thought the name sounded Korean, but I can't remember it. It's on the same strip as Siam Orchid and Curry Chevrolet on Central Ave.

I believe this is the place you are asking about http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/717440

[gbeats]

No the one that you are referencing is further north on Central Ave by the 4 corners the one that I am interested in is opposite the Hess gas station. It is not opened yet but does have a sign up.

[chowdom]

oops sorry
