Good quality meats, tasty sides and prompt friendly service. The place was very nice and spacious as well.??
We were so sad when Furusato was closed at the beginning of the pandemic so super excited to find out it reopened! However, the receipt states that the store is "Ko Hyang Gal Bi" so not sure if there's a ownership change but they kept the Furusato name on the store since that's what the locals know it as..?Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 - most of their dishes would benefit from thinner and more consistent slices. Our order of beef brisket had some that were super chewy just because the slice was thicker and required longer cooking time than others. The beef belly was fairly consistent as was the pork belly. The galbi beef tasted mostly of soy sauce and oil but was missing the sweetness from the brown sugar. Both the rice paper and radish paper were oddly thick. The kimchi wasn't marinated enoughAmbience: 5/5 - the remodel of the store did wonders and the grills have been updated as well for hotter firesService: 5/5 - all the servers are really nice and attentive. They stop by to check on us as they walk pastValue for price: 1/5 - while the price has almost doubled, the meat quality has not improved. Unfortunately, this was our favorite cheap BBQ place previously but now it doesn't meet the quality nor price expectations anymore :(
Furusato is my go-to AYCE KBBQ. Price went up but for good reason. More meat selection without the price shift of choosing menu A or B. Place looks cleaner and newer than before, and the wait staff is always checking on you and making sure you're always happy, or need any meat or sides.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, really clean, and the staff is super friendly. Definitely coming again.
First of all, this restaurant underwent a renovation and change of management which has made this place amazing now. The prior low reviews are all from 4-6 years ago.Come here for an amazing all you can eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ experience. The menu is limited to 6 items (beef brisket, beef belly, pork belly, beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, and spicy pork bulgogi). By having a small menu, they can keep prices very low (only $21.99 for a buffet as of March 2022)!The service was the first thing I noticed was exception. The servers checked on us several times and keep food flowing, banchan (side dishes) replenished, and waters topped off.The side dishes you can get are rice, rice noodle wraps, radish wraps, potato in a sweet sesame sauce, kimchi, spicy cucumber, and salad.We got the beef brisket, pork belly, and beef belly.The beef dishes were excellent. The meat was really tender and fresh, and the 3 dipping sauces of a sweet sauce, a spicy sambar, and a salt and sesame oil paired well with the beef. The meat had a good amount of fat on them as well which made it juicy.The pork belly was thick and so fatty that it melted in your mouth when you would eat it.Overall, this is an excellent, 5-star restaurant that has great service, great food, and a great price.
Great experience. Don't order too much because you can't take it home. Great for family night
This is the first time I came back after the remodeling and it looks so much better now. The menu did change a lil but the taste is still good. The price did go up quite a bit and you only have one option of menu now. Overall, not bad.
So happy to see this place back open! Wasn't sure what was happening during all the covid craziness. Place had a nice new feel to it for the most part. Food was the same as it was before, prices went up a little but still a bargain. My only dislike about this place is sharing a table with other people. Two guys at our table were just not having the kind of conversation I want while I'm out with my wife on a date night.
Love love the flavor. The spicy pork was awesome. But the whole dinner is great.
Good service food was great good side dishes nice staff
