I love this place ❤️ the owner Pa and all the ladies that work there are amazing! The food is spectacular ? and you have to try the Boba drinks especially the Horchata drink...!!! Wow ? to good to explain...!!! You won't be disappointed I promise. They have entertainment other weekends, a variety of music ? so if you love to dance ? go check it out.

Came in here on a Saturday night due to every other KBBQ place in an hour distance being at a 2 hour waitlist. We called this place and there was no wait time. What we thought was good luck ended up being a red flag that we missed. We spent about 30 minutes of waiting with no water or rice for our first order of raw meat to arrive. When it did, it was a single serving for one person when there were three of us. After asking several times for our raw meat from multiple servers, the manager comes over to our table. The manager was rude, unprofessional, and still refused to bring out the food we had ordered. You can tell that they were purposefully being cheap and trying to pinch every penny out of every customer. The food was tasteless, unseasoned, and we left feeling unwell after the meal. While paying, an employee took my credit card to the back for unknown and suspicious reasons. I confronted the manager for taking my card back and even asked the waiter why they had done that. Our waiter actually stood up for us and told us that they were trying to up charge us for meat that we never got because we had to leave. The waiter argued for us that our meat wasn't even at our table and they can't charge us for food we never got. The manage eventually released my card after an eerie 10 minutes and I even took a picture of the receipt in case they were trying to pull one over on us.- terrible food- terrible management- terrible service- sketchy atmosphereStay far away

Such a great time hanging with dj Alex and everybody that came out to have a great time. Great environment, great crowd, and the staff was more than helpful and just added to the whole experience of the night which overall was such an amazing time. My girlfriend and I definitely are planning on getting friends and family back together as soon as possible. Thanks for an awesome Thursday night.

I am not sure where this restaurant gets the 5 stars. I am a night time, regular on the weekends... Depending on the band. As I was walking in, the price was raised $5 more to $15. Are you serious? Sure, I will pay my band, But, what I won't do.The manager needs to realize, customers refuse to go, because of his high priced drinks and lack of employees to serve them. The servers are polite and try their best, but Poor girls are run ragged, Trying to serve everyone. You see everyone, standing at the long bar line, trying to get their OWN drinks. Smh. Sure, some of the food is great, But when you have customers that are hungry, during the night and trying to afford the drinks, they would prefer a dish that is affordable and plenty of .... too high priced, and the servings are rediculous, For the amount and type of food, that is served. You don't believe me, check it out for yourself. The best thing of the night, Are the bands and the DJs, But you would get a lot more customers with the prices dropping And the bands/DJs will be properly payed. Definitely, You get a lot more pool players, if you add a quarter machine, to the side instead of charging $10 an hour. Pool is competitive and don't want to play, the same people over and over for an hour? Ridiculous!! Many gatherings for birthdays/other celebrations for my friends but.... I'm not throwing them there anymore, until the greed stops.

This place is good, we came for my sister in laws birthday and there was a server who was just kinds attitude didn't look like she was eager to work. But I believe her name was Lucy man did she save the day! So friendly on point with orders, answers, and quick. Lucy if u see this we still want your zelle! You were amazing and the tip should have gone completely to you. We are believers that those who work for the tip deserve the tip.

Absolutely delicious food This restaurant is very well kept Great food an drinks I only have 1 complaint I wish they had to go boxes but everything else is delicious

Went for my birthday really awesome place they need more people

In principle it's a neat idea, we were epically disappointed, a $80 meal for maybe $20 worth of food.... we left disappointed and still hungry,, between the lack of seasoning, the unattentive wait staff, slow to everything and leaving you to just muddle thru... while it's neat to have live music, it was like a bar, much too loud for any restaurant atmosphere, you can't hear anything else...also we ordered all the meats we wanted to try up front and they only brought out 3 and then after we sat and had eaten everything and our grill was browned, they asked if we wanted the rest ... we obviously wanted them in the beginning to cook all at once, there were 4 of us total ?‍♀️.. other than trying something new, I cannot think of anything positive about this place... we will never be back

Drinks got downsized but the prices stayed the same ??. Music was good and the service was great. But drinks make it not worth it. Place needs to get adult size cups, ridiculous.

Yeah this is not it. I’ve been to quite a few Korean bbq places this is the worst . I would not recommend it . I should’ve taken the hint when I called and they said that there was no wait.. 1) took like 15 minutes for the meet to come out 2) they use these weird grills that traditional places don’t : takes literally forever to cook the meet 3) we didn’t even get rice . They forgot. The meat isn’t very good either . Me and my group decided to leave early
