We got the combo A (4-5people): 4 beef/steak + 1 pork shoulder. Meat quality is good. The staff cooked it for us. I wish they have a better vent system. The smoke kinda just floated around. Small dishes are provided, such as kimchi.
Nice decoration inside. Bathroom is clean. The staff are friendly. A good spot for Korean BBQ.
There are many many Korean bbq options in my area. I don’t need to go back to Closter. So this was my last visit. Good luck, So Good!
I recommend having beef at this place. Lovely waitress and very spacious restaurant.
I will come back here.
The atmosphere feels like a failed audition for a prohibition-era speakeasy. It’s dark, moody, and vaguely depressing, as if the lighting was designed to distract you from both the food and your expectations. Not exactly shabby—just soulless.
But let’s not pretend anyone comes here for ambiance or food. The real showstopper—the kind you tell people about—is the service.
⚠️ DO NOT COME HERE IF THEY ARE BUSY. EVER. ⚠️
Unless you enjoy watching a live demonstration of how to run a waitlist with absolute confidence and zero competence.
I’ve worked in the service industry. I understand rushes. I understand delays. What I witnessed here was not “busy”—it was organizational free fall.
We arrived as a party of six and were quoted a 15-minute wait. This later transformed—without warning, explanation, or shame—into a 2-hour wait. When we politely asked for an update, we were first ignored, then brushed off, as if questioning a wildly inaccurate estimate was a personal offense.
And then, the executioner’s final swing:
They seated two people at a six-person table while smaller tables were open or actively being cleaned. Yes. Read that again. This forced our larger party to wait even longer for another large table to open—because nothing says “efficient seating” like deliberately creating your own problem.
It was honestly impressive. Like watching someone spill a drink and then knock over the table to fix it.
If you enjoy mediocre food, dungeon lighting, and front-row seats to managerial malpractice, this place is consistent. Otherwise, eat literally anywhere else. Cook at home. Grab fast food. Sit in your car and chew ice. All are better uses of your time than trusting this restaurant with basic math and common sense.
It’s a bit expensive, but obviously well-worth the price tag for all the food you get as well as the quality and the unique dining experience. My friends told me it was very authentic as far as Korean barbecue goes (my first time, their 20th or so!) I’m not so adventurous but I like trying new things and I loved lots of different dishes, in particular the lotus roots and the radishes. Perfect for a special dinner out- we celebrated my friend’s birthday.
The food arrived promptly, and the minimal barbecue smoke allowed us to fully enjoy our meal. We opted for the combination C, which came with rice. The beef was incredibly tender and juicy; a simple dip into salt and it melted in my mouth, rendering additional seasonings unnecessary.
The outstanding service added to our dining pleasure, and a delightful surprise awaited us at the end: marshmallows, which quickly became my daughter’s favorite part of the meal.
Moreover, the reasonable pricing and the clean, spacious environment made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Remarkably, we could comfortably chat despite the sound of venting machines in the background. This place comes highly recommended for its scrumptious food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere.
