Reviews
Service and atmosphere:
Our server was fairly friendly and provided us with some recommendations in the beginning. Other staff members were attentive and helpful too.
The restaurant was clean, well organised and have modern and clean cut look to it. They offer many tables arrangements.
Food and drinks:
Very good selections in both areas. I recommend ‘all you can eat’ option which includes beef, poultry, seafood, and pork cuts. Many options to choose from in each category.
We opted for beef only. Meat was well seasoned, marinated, cut and presented.
You will get great variety of in-house made side dishes.
The restaurant offers wide selection of alcoholic beverages too.
Pricing:
worth it.
$$ – $35 per person for all you can eat is super
We decided to go for the $35 AYCE option, which offered great value. The quality of the meats was on par with the Chinatown location. The Banchan was plentiful and more than enough for the two of us fresh, flavorful, and a great variety that complemented the meal perfectly. They also use the gas grills with the charcoals on top which adds a different flavor to the meat.
For appetizers, we opted for the seafood pancake and kimchi stew. The kimchi stew was a standout. I was rich, savory, and with just the right level of heat. The seafood pancake didn’t wow us as much as the stew, but it was still crispy and flavorful.
Service was attentive and friendly, though one of the food runners mentioned they were short-staffed, which had them running around a bit. Despite this, they handled everything smoothly, and we never felt like we were waiting long for refills or additional items.
Overall, we left feeling very satisfied with the meal. It’s fantastic to see an AYCE KBBQ spot in the Heights, and we’re hopeful this location thrives. If you’re craving a solid KBBQ experience without the hassle of driving to Chinatown, this is definitely worth checking out!
Parking: Don’t be fooled into paid parking. The communal lot across the street is free.
We had a reservation for 10 at 7PM and were seated at two adjacent tables with no issues. They don’t do individual bills; it’s as many bills as the number of tables you have at max I believe.
The banchan was great, refills will only come if you ask. We got refills of the kimchi and fish cake often.
For the two appetizers, we tried (between two tables, so four options)
– Dumplings: Pretty standard, they were nice and crispy (3.5/5)
– Seafood Pancake: Relatively disappointing. Too doughy and soggy (2/5)
– Braised Beef Short Rib: By far the best dish there for an appetizer. Super tender and some of us liked this more than the KBBQ we were cooking. (5/5)
We tried nearly every meat on the KBBQ menu. The Kalbi (especially Suwon style, a garlic rub) is quite good and not as stringy as other KBBQ spots. We also especially liked the gochujang pork jowl, a unique offering. The pork belly was also very balanced in fat. Most other things were pretty standard but I’d say you can’t really go wrong. They use a good level of marinade and the charcoal allows for a smoky flavor.
Service was quite good – our waitress checked back often, so even with four meats max per order we were never lacking. We got regular grill changes and I’d say the only hiccup was once when a grill change dripped some oil and burned my friend at the table. We backed off a lot after that.
Also, their watermelon soju is a banger. Serves 3-4 well.
It’s not on the menu, but they have a complimentary dessert for the B option at one per person – little cakes with mango, strawberry, tiramisu, and mocha flavors. I liked mocha and tiramisu the best but they were all pretty light and fluffy.
Overall, a fantastic KBBQ option in the heights and I hope they succeed here for years to come.
Our server David was great and very friendly. There is also plenty of parking near the restaurant and across the street.
We will definitely be back.
