Reviews
The five is definitely hip and lively I could do without all the K-pop on the TV screens. Maybe mix it up a bit.
The food is great with a wide variety of flavored meats and seafood, and ingredients to cook up to accompany the wonderful selection of sides available.
My favorite, one of the short ribs and a spicy pork. The white selection of pork belly is wonderful. The hot add-ons are great. We really like the cheesy corn and the short rib and even the popcorn chicken is all right.
The service is very friendly, knowledgeable, and reasonably quick.
There is no downside of this place, especially since the price is very very reasonable.
Food – good for its price but the quality of meat itself doesn’t taste super amazing. Only meat we actually liked was the bulgogi as everything else was hella salty. Had to actually dip it in water to help wash down the meats. Also, don’t recommend getting the popcorn chicken as a side. Only the ramen and nuggets & fries were good. ANNDDD if you’re trying get salad, get it without the dressing because the “salad” is straight up huge pieces of lettuce lol. So might as well use the lettuce as a wrap
Service: we came right when they opened so our stuff came out pretty fast. They had even prepped every table with stuff alrdy so it was easy to just get started. The workers were also friendly!
Atmosphere: okay? Didn’t necessarily like the decor bc it was so dark 🙁 but I do believe it becomes a fun place to eat n drink with friends at night.
Note: the reasons why we ultimately didn’t like this place was bc of how the ayce menu is set up.
1- When you order meat, you have to order different types of meats and it’s 4 max per round. You can’t repeat a same type in a round so if you wanted more bulgogi, you’d have to wait another round.
2 – when you order meat, it’s for the entire party. Meaning, if you’re a party of 8 sitting at 2 tables, both tables will be getting the same type of meats. It won’t be split between what each tables want.
3 – the sauces seem to be very limited. The kbbq places we’ve been to have allowed us to create our own sauces. Whereas here, it’s mainly the sauces that came in the banchan dish already.
4 – the saltiness of some of the meats, especially the spicy pork bulgogi. SOOOOOO salty. Hence why, stick to the thin meats with no sauce
The reason why this place still gets 4 stars is bc ultimately, you’d still get to enjoy ayce kbbq at a good price, though only for lunch.
Know before you go:
Carnivore’s playground with all-you-can-eat meat focus
D.I.Y grilling experience (are you good with that?)
In-your-face smoke, heat, grease
Service was good—short-staffed, maybe?
“Eating hall” atmophere with K-pop videos on the TVs shining through a light, smoky haze.
I guess it’s a novelty experience mostly, so enjoy the option to have it, but don’t expect the cosmic experience you’d have on the streets of Korea finding some hidden gem of soul-shaking flavors, just enjoy a night out in a Korean cafeteria.
