Fresh serves. Hot pan corns with cheese is a must. Setting is well-considerate – private and public. One of the cleanest BBQ in the area.

We had like 11 people go there. That was some of the best and most consistent service I’ve gotten. If you like stronger flavors I’d bring some more seasonings.

Absolutely horrendous experience. Will NEVER come back.
We sat down and waited 20 minutes for anyone to even take our order. Then another 10 minutes just for meat.
When food arrived, there were NO water cups, maybe the water is tooooo expensive for me to drink，NO sauce plates on the table. I asked a server, and they said, “We’re busy, we don’t have enough tableware.”
If you don’t have enough utensils to serve customers, and they went to get the sauce and cup for us, they just throw it on the table
They messed up our order TWICE. We don’t eat chicken at all, so we clearly didn’t order it. I’m not stupid—I can tell what’s chicken and what’s beef.
During last call, we ordered the same two meats we had earlier, and one of them was some mystery meat I don’t even recognize.
service are rude, orders are wrong, basic things like cups and plates are missing.
Save your time and money—this place is a joke.

I had to flag down staff multiple times just to get service at our table. The waitresses kept bringing items we didn’t order, which raised our bill unnecessarily though we didn’t really mind at first. Our table was also left cluttered with dirty dishes for far too long.
I understand that an automatic 18% gratuity is added for parties of 8 or more, but our group was 5 adults, a baby, and my grandmother. It felt unreasonable to be charged this fee, especially when I had to constantly flag down staff.
One waitress in particular clearly didn’t want to be working. When she did come over, she placed and removed dishes aggressively, which left a negative impression. (Petite lady with shorts)
In the end, we spent almost $300 for poor service. Unfortunately, I won’t be recommending this place, nor will we be returning.
We came in at 4pm the place wasn’t necessary packed. I dont understand the reason of providing poor service. The only one who did his job was the younger gentleman. I have worked in the customer service industry for a long time and I wouldn’t want to work there either with some lady being unnecessarily rude.

We were lied to and they ripped us off. We were a party of 6, which comes with a service fee of 18%. We 100% knew that and understood it.
What we didn’t know and understand was that the waiter was going to charge us an additional 18%. See photo for proof.
We wanted to come back. But after the restaurant stole $47.52 from our table, we will not be returning. And I don’t recommend. Maybe I’ll recommend if you are less than 6, so they can’t rip you off with having a service charge and then giving themselves a 18% additional tip.
Good food, but being ripped off left a really bad taste in my mouth.

This place gets packed and chaotic fast. It’s super loud, cold afffff, and slow, with hit or miss meats and sides. If you’re patient, happy hour can save you a few bucks, but otherwise it’s kind of a grind.
Beef Belly: Get
Easily my favorite. Tender, flavorful, and cooked up nicely.
The rest of the meats and sides were whatever. Some sides come out in weird portions or cut strangely. They’re also not self-serve, so you have to ask for everything which slows things down.
It’s seriously loud in here. Like, yelling across the table loud. If you’ve got soft spoken people in your group, it’s going to be rough. The place is also freezing and super drafty, so bring a jacket… but just know that jacket is going to end up smelling like smoke and meat by the end.
Service is slow and inconsistent. Best move is to order your meats all at once instead of waiting between rounds.

Was very excited to come back here for my second time, And it was spectacular as the first time I came here. Came here with my buddy and we loved it. Service was great and fast, which is always nice at Korean barbecue restaurants. We got the premium menu because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Our favorite beef items were the beef, Bulgogi and the Korean short rib bone in. The beef brisket and beef belly were also yummy. Our favorite chicken item was the spicy and barbecue chicken. For seafood, we got shrimp and octopus, and it was tasty. We got a strawberry drink. I forgot the name of it, but it looked like it was mixed with strawberry and milk, and it was insane. Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly and helpful

Bad experience for me and will not go back:
1) table has a large water spill from placing a water container which I didn’t think much of it until I had to clean it myself.
2) I asked for rib fingers which came out. Some peice were all fat, most other pieces about 80% fat. I asked for leaner peices, and at this point, I should have left but I made the mistake of staying. The waiter then took them to the back and brought a smaller plate of it that were still extremely fatty.
2) the brisket we ordered was 80% fat! Almost all fat with a small stip of red meat. At this point I wanted to leave so back but my GF insisted we already ordered so we have to pay and so we should stay.
3) you must flag down waiters any time you need anything, its annoying. And you can tell they get annoyed by people asking for anything.
4) Tipping starts at 16% and they hold the machine over you while you chose so it made us feel uncomfortable alittle.
4) They never chnged the gill cover so we kept frying out food on burnt stove-top. Other places continues changes when it become black.
4) not sure if the vent was working properly or we have had a burn stove-top and so more smoke but we smelled like kbbq smoke more than ever before.
Go here if you want KBBQ fat as all their meats here is nothing but fat and very little actual meat.

Amazing for such a hidden gem. The door and front of the restaurant appear like a hole-in-the-wall, but the inside is deceptively gigantic. Food service and food itself is ideal, as the dining experience is not entirely about the food, but rather a social experience. Cuts of meat were primarily excellent, only a few pieces with unsatisfactory cuts – but that is typical of all Korean BBQ restaurants. Rice temperature could have been much more hot rather than warm. Sauce is a bit limited, offering a general flavor, but getting creative with the ratios makes the difference – that is where the surprise happens with the cooking and final flavors. Overall, it’s a fantastic dining spot, and I will be returning for more. The chicken portion is more than healthy, and the cheese corn is welcoming before the meal begins. Don’t forget about ordering Kim chee as it perfectly accompanies the meal.
