Reviews
I’ve had a lot of KBBQ, but this spot is a coin flip: sometimes you get decent food, sometimes you get food poisoning. I’ve found small bugs at the self-serve and hair in my food a couple of times, which is proof of the lack of attention to basic hygiene.
The consistent issue is the staff (mainly the women). About 7 out of 10 times, they are rude, have a clear attitude problem, and are not customer-oriented at all. It feels like they are actively driving away business.
Management needs to invest in customer care training and maybe raise their pay so the staff aren’t taking out their frustrations on patrons. I will not be returning until they implement some customer training and better food safety. Even though it profits over good customer service, and I know nothing will change, but I had to say it.
The restaurant is brand new and looks fantastic. The decor has some really cool touches, like misty flames next to the booths and beautiful lighting. It’s surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seating for large groups and VIP rooms for private events. There was even a cool service robot which brought the meat the tables! The sauce bar is a highlight, offering a variety of options to create your own dip for the BBQ, from spicy to sweet, plus some Asian specialty desserts.
The service was excellent. The servers were very attentive and the owners even came by to check on us. What a great addition to the restaurant scene in Ithaca! I’ll definitely be coming here again.
The servings of meat were small and clumped together sometimes but the flavor and quality are well worth it. I LOVE the coconut sago, you have to get it!
Service:
There are a lot of staff and our empty plates were taken away quickly. I like ordering with the tablet because I can get whatever I want whenever I want.
Atmosphere:
Hotpot and KBBQ places just have a certain vibe they give off and this place no doubted nailed it.
Came here after a wedding ceremony and we could not have picked a more welcoming place. Our private room for 12 guests was filled with delicious smells, a fun ambiance, and most importantly all the food we could imagine to boil or grill. We hadn’t signed up for karaoke but they gave us 30 free minutes in honor of our married couple.
Next time I’m in Ithaca, this will be a required stop
Last time we went was today and I definitely ate so much I left with meat sweats.
Words of warning:
1. The spicy scale is Asian scale not American. So you may pay the price twice if you know what I mean..if you mess around. FAFO
2. they will charge you if you waste (and you can’t bring extras home) so I suggest you start small and just order more as you need it. They are very quick and responsive so you don’t have to wait long at all.
3. It’s either all hot pot, all BBQ, or all hot pot & BBQ for each table. You can’t have a party of 3 and one person has hot pot and one has BBQ, etc. you do have the option for combining both for each person.
This is a great spot and I wish them luck and success and hope they are around for a long time. It’s a great value for all you can eat Korean BBQ and/or hot pot.
Well definitely be coming back again
