JACKSON, Tenn. (WBBJ) – Flamin’ Yum Korean Barbecue and Shabu House opened its doors at noon Friday, offering West Tennesseans a new dining experience.
The restaurant features Korean barbecue, which offers an array of marinated meats grilled tableside, as well as shabu-shabu, a Japanese-style hot pot where diners cook ingredients in hot broth.
What’s on the menu
“We offer a big cuisine, so we have all fresh meats, tiger shrimp, goat meat, chicken, a big selection all fresh cut and prepared every day,” said Aaron Newton, manager.
Newton said additional offerings are on the way.
“We have a vegetable bar, we’re going to do hot-pot soup that starts in about a week, we’ll have liquor in about two weeks and we’re already serving beer,” Newton said.
Robot servers and opening day perks
The first 300 tables received a special gift of a lucky glass cat piggy bank.
Flamin’ Yum also features robot servers that deliver food directly to tables.
“It’s actually really cool, but all they do is just deliver food. That goes straight to your table. You take it off the tray and hit complete and it goes back. It really just helps the servers. It’s not taking nobody’s job, it doesn’t take tips, it’s really just for show. People love it,” Newton said.
Hours and location
Flamin’ Yum is currently accepting reservations, and walk-ins are welcome. The restaurant is open every day from noon to 9 p.m.
It is located at The Columns III, 17 Colonnade Blvd. Reservations can be made by calling 731-300-7333.
