Johor Bahru City Square
The restaurant operates a cook-it-yourself dining format. Diners select meat and vegetable ingredients from a conveyor belt or display, then grill them on a circular metal plate at the table while preparing a sukiyaki hot pot in the surrounding moat. The concept combines Japanese sukiyaki with Thai-style BBQ, and the chain is known for its value-for-money set meals and unlimited refills on certain items like rice and soup. Bar.B.Q Plaza Malaysia typically runs lunch promotions and seasonal deals.
Bar.B.Q Plaza City Square opens daily from 10am to 10pm, following the mall's operating hours. The restaurant is located on the dining level alongside other eateries including Meng Meng Roasted Duck, BornGa Korean Restaurant, and Din Tai Fung. City Square is directly connected to JB Sentral and the CIQ complex.

Ventilation needs to improve. For food, it lacks the tastiness. The fried rice is not that nice too. The pan is too small for soup, hard to scoop the soup even if you are using the spoon. Milk tea tastes not gao enough. Spicy soup (Additional 5RM) doesn't really have any taste as well. Looks like just chili, onion and water.
