I think it’s weird that people give 1 star just because the music was loud. To be clear, the music was a bit loud but not impossible to hear everyone in your party. I’ve been to clubs, bars, and lounges where you can’t even hear the person in front of you. This place, you can absolutely have a conversation with someone.
Aside from that, we came for dinner on a Saturday night and it was about $35 each for ayce. The meat selection and sides aren’t as extensive as other kbbq places. I’m hoping they will expand on that in the future. The meats that are worth ordering (from what we ordered) are t-major, flat iron steak, bulgogi, pork bulgogi, pork jowl, and garlic butter shrimp. The garlic butter and kow butter sauces are great for enhancing the meat flavors. The katsu and brisket are also good sauces to pair the meats with. I also used the garlic and jalapeños to give meats with no flavor, some flavor. The service was great. He didn’t hover over us but checked back on us periodically.
There is a ramen bar but it’s the same as making ramen at home. People act like this is gourmet ramen or something. You can add toppings and eggs that are provided up there to customize your packaged ramen. The ramen is included in your ayce. Overall, it’s about a 4 out of 5 for me.

10/10 Korean BBQ spot! Our server, Cy, was super attentive and helpful and gave us suggestions as to what to order, flat iron steak, beef bulgogi, and pork belly were really good and of great quality. Solid Kbbq spot and in a good location as well for only being open for around 7-8 months. With the addition of the Ramen Bar included with the AYCE meat it was worth the price and very unique!

First impression is that it’s a club with laser lights, projectors, neon, even a Banksy! There’s even a robot delivering food to your table. Definitely high concept atmosphere. But the vibe is smooth, chill and relaxed. The waitress was superb. We opted for lunch and she explained all the choices and how it works. We went to the ramen bar and immediately screwed up, but she helped us politely and fixed everything. She started cooking our food for us to get help us with the process since it was our first time there. She chatted with us for a while. The food was great. The chicken has to be cooked separately so she cleaned the grill for that. It’s all you can eat so she was generous in offering is additional things. Overall, it’s like eating in a futurisric restaurant, but a future you can believe in. Great food. Amazing. Great atmosphere. So cool. And great experience with very nice waitress/partner. We will come again for my upcoming birthday. Looking forward to it. This is now my favorite Korean place.

For the lunch price, it’s a good deal. We just got brisket and marinated pork belly for the most part. I feel like we ate our money’s worth. I liked the salad but wish they did other sides like steamed egg and miso tofu soup. The kimchi was not ripe enough but I think it depends on when you go. The atmosphere is kind of like I’m at a club. Vacation views projected onto the walls and loud music haha. They have a ramen bar! Make your own ramen on the side or afterwards.

I love the food here! If you enjoy intestine, they serve it and it tastes amazing. We tried almost everything on the menu, and our favorites were the shrimp super buttery, bouncy, and flavorful and all the beef, which was great quality for the price.
The staff were super friendly, and our food came out quickly. We’ll definitely be back! (I only wish they had corn cheese and mushrooms it would make the experience even more perfect.)

One of the better Korean BBQ places in the north subs. The ramen station was cool. Overall the feeling was fun and relaxed. Service was excellent with Cy taking care of us. Try the assorted pickles.

Good service, atmosphere, and meat quality. We came for lunch (around 1:30 PM) on a Saturday. Plenty of seats available.
Music is at a reasonable level (can be loud for some sensitive group of people based other comments.
(I wasn’t expecting too much before coming and thought their meat quality would be as bad as the Galaxy hotpot place next to them. We just wanted to come here to try the ramen machine )

One of my new favorite spots!
I’ve already been to KOW BBQ twice and every time, I leave super satisfied. The meat is really fresh and tasty, and since it’s unlimited, I get to try different combos every visit.
What I love most is the atmosphere. The robot servers are fun, but it’s really the staff that make the place feel great — they’re always smiling, friendly, and take the time to explain everything. It feels like they genuinely enjoy working there, which says a lot.
The place is clean and modern, and considering how expensive eating out can be lately, this spot feels like a win. I’ve already told a bunch of friends to check it out — definitely worth a visit.

This place was a fun experience. Great food. Servers were nice. My friend’s and I ordered a lot of beef brisket. The steak was phenomenal. Their Kow butter was great with the food. Surprisingly, it wasn’t too busy on a Friday night. Definitely coming back

KOW Korean BBQ was absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection right at the table. What truly made the experience unforgettable was our server, Audrey. She went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and always making sure we had everything we needed. Audrey’s energy and hospitality made the whole night even better. Highly recommend this spot and definitely ask for Audrey when you go!
