Restaurant is indeed a Korean culinary experience. The menu, featuring an array of Korean dishes, is offered at a fixed price for unlimited servings, and the quality is superb. As a professional, I can confidently endorse this venue as my go-to choice. ❤️ If you are vegetarian or vegan, this is a wonderful spot for you as well as carnivores The wonderful staff will explain to you how to grill the meat at your own table if need be enjoy!

High-quality meats and a great atmosphere! The electric grills are a total game-changer—you get a perfect sear on the meat without the heavy smoke, so you don’t leave smelling like BBQ. The buffet layout is super convenient and well-stocked, making it easy to grab your favorites and start grilling immediately. The staff is incredibly friendly and keeps the service moving smoothly. Definitely a new favorite.

Our third time eating here! I am so happy to have a good Korean bbq on the peninsula! Yay!! No MSG. The owner only uses healthy ingredients!

The grill is electric and does take longer to heat up, but if you’re an asthma or COPD sufferer you will appreciate electric over gas. Just better for your wellbeing.

The staff is on it! Table space is critical when you have a grill at your table so they are very attentive to your needs. They were pretty busy Friday night and they kept pace with it.

They have beer and soju as well as soda and tea. So grab some Korean fried chicken while you wait for your meal to cook and have a great meal and a good time!

I’ve been dying to go here since I first got here and I’m so glad I finally did. This place is absolutely incredible. The food was amazing and as soon as we stepped in we were welcomed as if we were family. The owner is quite possibly the sweetest woman I’ve ever met. This is the perfect place to bring family and friends or just to grab lunch or dinner. I cannot wait to come back

My family and I went on a road trip and was craving Korean bbq. Saw this place and gave it a try. This was the worst Korean BBQ experience I’ve ever had. The service was decent, and the atmosphere and decor are cute. The location is great, right in the center. However, the food does not represent Korean cuisine at all. As a Korean person myself, the banchan (side dishes) were completely tasteless, and it was obvious they weren’t made by someone familiar with authentic Korean cooking. I was very disappointed, especially after spending almost $200 including tip (party of 5). I will not be returning and do not recommend this place. If you’re looking for true, authentic Korean BBQ, this is not it.

Most of the high reviews were from non Asian. I think they just never tried good Korean foods before. But for me, I have to give it a D rating for taste. A for service and decor.

The Food and Atmosphere was absolutely amazing! We loved the shrimp and soju! My husband decided he could make a glaze with it, so creative. It was an amazing change of pace, we spent about 2 hours in here eating great and the price was very reasonable for such delicacies !

I went here with my wife, the food is absolutely amazing. Every side dish has its own unique and delicious flavors, the variety of flavor blew me away. The marinated and un-marinated meats are of great quality and are very tender, just be sure to use the provided scissors to cut it down to bite size pieces. You can order drinks and specialty items to be brought to the table through your phone using the QR code they give you when you sit down. Great food and can’t wait to go again!

You can tell the owners love what they do. The food was amazing, there was a variety to choose from and incredibly affordable . Although we went in after 7pm, they continue to bring fresh sides and meats. We are truly impressed. The staff were attentive and friendly.
The owners are very humble people who pour their heart into making this new restaurant as delicious as their previous one.

I would definitely recommend.

This is what I’m used to seeing in Korea for BBQ buffet. I was really happy with the side dishes! My favorite things: Tteok-bokki, fried chicken, Japchae…

Most places don’t get the flavor right on those things, but they nailed it here.

The owner came out and chatted with me and she’s such a nice lady. 10/10 will come back for all my scuba trips.

Excellent. This is real Korean barbecue. Ms. K the owner is amazing and nice . (She is very generous and gave my wife a gift) If you are a student at NPS or DLi missing authentic Korean BBQ this is your place. Highly recommend. The grills are electric so turn that on right away, pro tip cook smaller amounts instead of crowding the grill.
