The quality of food is still the same, and my friend and I enjoy very much. It is the service that I have problem with: extensive wait time due to tables are not cleaned and ready, poor management on the floor (yup, the cleaning of the table is part of this problem). The floor staff should prioritize what should be done first and what's next (although there are only two guys on the floor). Changing the large portion of the restaurant to be the all-you-can-eat bbq is a bad move, and the choice is so limited makes me regret the first and only time when me and my girlfriends had the bbq. I hope they can be flexible on yhat.

The food is pretty amazing, we ordered more than we could eat but I don't regret it. I would go back and bring my friends with me.I've been to few Korean BBQ places between Toronto and Montreal and this is by far the best. The server was really nice and very attentive versus some other places I've been too.Please keep in mind that Korean BBQ means that you cook your own meet as is traditional in Korea. Great for hanging out with friends and having drinks.

While travelling, we got a kind of homesick so had to get some korean food. We had a sundubu jjigae (seafood tofu soup) and it was wonderful! One of the best that I’ve had in my entire life! The only, bit of disappointment was the soup didn’t have any shrimp, though it was the seafood soup. But overall I had a very satisfying meal!

Have gone here a couple of times for the bbq and have really enjoyed my time! A bit of a learning curve to figure out what to order, how to cook it etc, but after going a couple of times you will figure it out. Fun dinner spot to go with friends!

Have been going here regularly for the past 5 years. Korean staples of jiggae and main entrées are always of excellent quality and big portions. Family faves are the beef soon dubu jiggae, the mandu (dumpling) jiggae, the dolsot bibimbap, tteokbokki, LA Kalbi, and the pork tangsuyuk. Their banchan is also excellent, though simple ( its always kimchi, bean sprouts and a veg - usually broccoli) are fresh and delicious. Kimchi is house made and it is probably the tastiest kimchi I've had anywhere!

Great food, homemade mandu & kimchi. Amazing AYCE!

Used to be my go-to place for Korean food but last 2 or 3 years (even before the pandemic) have noticed a substantial decline. My favourite dish, the seafood bibimpab, doesn't taste as good as before and they have also skimped on the ingredients on my latest visit.The food was always enough to offset the inconsistent service and, in the past, the greasy and oily tables from the table top BBQs. But now there's no reason for me to return.

Great food with good quality and good amount of portions, very good price but bad customer service. The waiter seems not care about customers at all. Hope could be improved then will goback again or order take-out. Short rib is really good. Seafood Pancake I guess chef use topioca powder instead of flour. It tastes soft and a bit soggy. I like the flour-made crunchy taste.(Just personally) other than that, the seafood pancake will be perfect.

The food was fantastic! Large portions and good quality! Service is sadly a bit slow but that's only due to the fact one amazing man is running the show himself.
