Really great food and great service!! We came on a very busy night and they were working super hard to seat people and serve them promptly. We were never treated with anything except kindness, even though they were obviously dealing with a huge rush. Service was also extremely fast considering the high volume of people. The servers continued to visit us to check in if we wanted to order more food and provided recommendations for our bases and additions!

I really liked it here! We did not choose to do both BBQ & Hot Pot but we will next time! It’s so worth it to add on for so many more options. You cook everything yourself. There was dessert available at the end to-go too which I haven’t seen anywhere else do. They didn’t have everything that a standard KBBQ/Hot Pot place offers where I am from but I guess there are more American people here and they have to appeal to the local taste as well.
Please note that even though they have ventilation, when you cook with marinades, the scent will stay on your clothes and hair anyways. So get ready to shower AFTER your date lol
Overall, fun and cute date idea if you plan to end here (because you will smell like KBBQ everywhere you go hahah)
Clean and easy to figure out but if you’ve never done KBBQ etc before, just know you do it all yourself at a table in front of you

This is a very fun experience and the food is very good. You can eat all you want during two hours, you can’t take food with you and if you order too much and leave a lot of food, you might have to pay and extra fee, which I think it is fair. The service is very good, waiters are polite and helpful.

Very lovely atmosphere. Great for a date night or a family night.
The staff members were friendly and so helpful. The food was awesome. This was not just dining, but a great experience. I would highly recommend.

I fell for this place a year ago when they opened and omg they have only gotten better!!!
The sauce bar has everything! And their top 1 sauce is amazing
The bulgogi is my fav! But def don’t skip the pork belly marinated in their top one sauce!
The deserts are so good! Not to sweet the green melon popsicles are so good. I would come back just for those!
Now onto the staff, they are simply the sweetest most amazing people you will ever come in contact with the owner is very sweet and they make you feel like home. Definitely don’t skip this place and go ahead and skip any other hot pot around!

Just want to say the place we went was this place and it was honestly absolute TRASH and a waste of money and a huge disappointment. Bottom 5 of places we have been and y’all know we like to eat out all the time it’s one of my favorite things to do with my kids. It was Valentine’s Day at that, so they should have been better and on top of their game today just because of that. All the meat they brought us was FROZEN. Any idiot knows you don’t put frozen meat on a grill. But we did it anyway. I’m not the type to sit there and complain about stuff, I still try to make it a good time for the kids. My son got garlic shrimp ok … It was covered in minced garlic but the reason is because it was old so imagine fishy tasting shrimp smothered in garlic. It was disgusting. I got some sort of steak that took forever to cook obviously because it was frozen puck when it came out and then when it was “ready” it was mostly like gristle. I don’t know how to explain that but it was chewy but not chewable or edible. I love the concept of it but it was honestly just horrible. And a Korean corn dog??? Ok so we each got one and that was just a giant cheese stick and they weren’t hot so it was like a luke warm mozzarella stick with a small hotdog inside. They put parchment paper on the grill and tell you that when the parchment paper is bad, they’re just going to replace it with another piece of parchment paper. They brought us our meat and it was all frozen so of course it took longer to cook and the parchment paper was just burning to a crisp right in front of our faces smoking and all thank goodness there’s a vent right there but we could still smell it. But who wants to put fresh meat or veggies on burnt parchment paper? It was just awful. I actually can’t think of 1 part of it that I enjoyed. My 7 year old liked the ramen noodles …. I don’t see how they have a 4.7. Part of me thinks they just saw a woman there with her 2 kids and didn’t care or thought we wouldn’t care about the quality. I don’t know how it was so bad.

I loved everything about this place! The decor, the lighting, the location, and as you’d hope, the food is the best part. It’s really even better when you bring along friends and family, because half the fun is everyone picking the foods they want to cook.
At first, it’s a little daunting, seeing all the choices, sauces, veggies, and you’re like crap. Once you get going though it’s a blast. And like I said, the food is good, even though you’re the one cooking it.
The pictures I’m posting don’t do that food justice, either. Very high quality!

Atmosphere is excellent. Modern decor, booths and tables available. There are two sections for dining, one includes a sit down bar area.
Staff is extremely friendly, I believe the husband and wife are part of the appeal. Very nice people.
The food selection is above adequate. There are seafood selections that other Korean BBQ places don’t offer, which is a bonus. Enough meat and chicken choices to satisfy.
Service was a bit slow on the day we went, but it was Valentine’s Day afternoon, so I want to believe they were gearing up for a big night. Totally understandable.
Having been to numerous such places in Los Angeles area, I would say it’s lacking in banchan – no japchae, rice paper, green salad with dressing, etc.
One oddity is like a John Mulaney skit in that the same 10 songs keep playing over and over. I can’t get “Stuck On You” by Lionel Richie out of my head.
The desert selections of cookies, pastries or ice cream is a very nice touch.
Would we go back? Yes. Again, pleasant experience overall.

This restaurant provides a nice atmosphere hot pot and Korean bbq. The good options were great, and I would say the price was well worth it. They have a “sauce bar” where you can get a plethora or sauces and mix and match as you wish. Our server was attentive and when we had a small complaint it was met with grace and solutions that well outweighed the complaint, so the service was fantastic. Some of the food options came out frozen, I would say about half of the food that came out was frozen. And those pieces too much longer to cook on the grill.
We will definitely be returning to try the hot pot as well!
