Stopped in here for lunch with a friend on a weekend and we were seated immediately. We chose the Original Combo lunch (serves two) and split it. It came with three meats and all of the sides. Plus it also came with a tofu soup and two drinks. We managed to eat it all and we were pleasantly full! My favorite part about this place is that they came and kept track of cooking the meat for us. Yes, we had the Liberty to add more meat if we wanted or turn it ourselves but the lady who was sort of monitoring the dining room made her rounds pretty frequently and would come and turn our meat or place our meat. I appreciate it that she did the hard work and we just got to sit back and enjoy lunch. I would definitely return here. It was a great meal at a great price!
This was my first time trying Korean food and it was fantastic! I had the dumpling tofu stew and it came with a side of rice. All of the sides that came with it were very delicious too. Everything looked and smelled so good. We were suggested to try this place by our Korean friends and it was a great recommendation. I highly recommend giving it a try. You can choose your levels of spicy for your dish. Some dishes have "white" which means it's not spicy at all.
My favorite Korean BBQ in San Diego. Best meat for the best price and I’ve been going here for four years now with no complaints. All my friends love coming here as well.
I've only had traditional Korean dishes here, but so far everything I've tried is delicious. You really can't go wrong. The kimchee pajun (kimchee pancake) is a must-have. So flavorful and extremely generous portion. The gaejang (spicy marinated raw crab) is always on point. Their banchan (side dishes) are the best out of any Korean restaurant I've been to in San Diego. Blood sausage soup is so good. Kimchee chigae (soup) is so good. I try something new every time I go and so far, yummm!!! The service is okay if you go when it's not busy, but if you go during busy times, it's honestly the worst. But I'm willing to sacrifice service for amazing Korea food.
Waiters are very friendly. I like that they use stone pots to keep rice and soup warm
Food was ?. The 2 star is because they charged a share plate fee without telling us. My kids never finish their food, so I shared with them instead of ordering my own. The waiter did not say anything about the fee. If I knew about the fee, I would’ve ordered something and just take the leftovers home. Plus, we didn’t even order extra kimchi, water or rice. I’ve never been to a place that charge a share fee. Not coming back!
Absolutely delicious! Ordered the Combo A and the meat was excellent. Although they are understaffed, the waitress was very attentive and cooked all of our meat for us. A thing to be aware of is that things might take a little longer because they are understaffed but it's all well worth it! Highly recommend the kimchi & pork tofu stew.
We have been to this restaurant many times and had a decent experience for the most part. However on the most recent visit I brought friends that were new to Korean food and the entire experience was very embarrassing. Food was served cold and servers were unapologetic. This place is insanely busy on Friday and Saturday nights and they clearly are incapable of handling crowds and serving quality food at the same time. In fact not a single dish that we ordered was tasty. This is a stark contrast to the dishes we have been served in the past. Tofu Stew was cold and bland and barbecue chicken lacked any flavor and was also cold despite being on a hot plate. I don't think we'll be going back.
Food is good. But customer service is pretty bad. I asked the waitress for more napkins and she only gave 2. No more no less. There were at least 5 people at my table. But it's ok, i cut them in half..During checkout we asked for some boxes and before i was even done asking she abruptly left bringing back only one container. At which I responded: can you please bring us another 2 containers? She snapped back in a very rude tone: what else do you need to take? I answered The food! What else you think am I supposed to take? The silverware?! If she had taken an extra 20 seconds to listen and not rush off that would have save her more time running back and forth.After this I was afraid to ask for a bag to carry our the food, I did anyway.. we left feeling disappointed in the service and we be won't coming back.
Absolutely love the service and the Korean food is delicious. Don't have to wait for a table.
