It's been a while but I'm so glad I came back. You know it's a good sign when you walk in and see the drying room for the dry aged steak as soon as you enter. No more AYCE, but I don't mind. I'm all about quality over quantity. Josh the server went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable. I can't wait to come back!

Food quality : dry-aged ribs and seasoned brisket, tasty miso soup, and steamed egg. Complementary dishes including fresh green salad with house dressing, 2 types of matured kimchi, exciting shredded pickle salad, macaroni salad, refreshing pink pickled daikon slices, and fish cake strips. The ice cream sandwiches are in Korean rice crackers, generous portion.Minus 0.5 star for the streamed egg, good portion, but over-cooked, and not enough rice balls (only 3 pieces, but we did not ask for refill)Vibes: loud music, party atmosphere. The TK92 robot is the theme: it’s posters and souvenirs are everywhere. The meat items are presented and cooked by the waitress in a show mode. If you let the waiter know that you come for celebration of a special day, the ice cream will come with a mini firework show. Additions: there is a game room, a library, and a show window of how the kitchen dry aging the beef for picture taking. Well-lit and well-ventilated dining hall. No BBQ smoke, no burning odor.Parking: in addition to the ground parking, there are 2 level underground parking, plenty of parking spots.Price: you pay for the food quality and the cooking show. The fancy online menu is not easy to read.

This establishment relies more on showmanship than quality cooking. We ordered a combo involving a rather pricey dry rubbed steak. It arrived on a plate with dry ice for a visual effect. While we were impressed with the presentation aspect, the steak the wait staff prepared for us on the grill ended up as an overcooked, dry slab of meat that was cut immediately after grilling and without resting. The outcome was certainly not worth the premium we paid. Overall, the quality of the food even besides the steak was mediocre. Aside, the pricing structure of the menu makes it hard to gauge the value of the individual items that comprise the combos. Tldr: Not worth the money.

Only a 5 minute wait around 6:30 on a Saturday night! Fun decor from the entryway to the ceiling of the dining area. Great quality of meat and service was attentive. We ordered the family combo (beef and pork) which was plenty for a family of three, plus the spicy octopus dish (which was certainly spicy). The ice cream sandwich at the end is a nice way to end the meal.

While ordering, we asked for extra napkins which never happened., food itself was delicious. But service can improve. We had asked for a second round of rice, which was forgotten, thankfully server knew his mistake and did not charge which was nice. Again food was really good. Flavor wise it's an A+. We were asked what flavor ice cream we wanted and waited when we were done eating, they never brought it it's ok I guess. Becareful with the vents. While we waited for the non existent ice cream, a piece of the vent fell down onto tje grill.. food was really good!

This Korean Barbeque restaurant has an eclectic vibe. The main dining room decorated by anime posters, the hall has old Asian vinyl covers and the entrance has early 1900 furniture. We order the chef’s choice combo. The aged short ribs and ribeye are tender and delicious. The pork belly is cut very thick and was kind of chewy. The galbi stew and japchae are delicious. Service is excellent!

This place has a super cool look with a friendly and fun staff. The artwork is new age and just plain cool. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly I worked with Kenneth and Sunny. They even helped me.beat my big sister to the check... It was awesomeThe food here is great quality and all of the seasoned or marinated meats are fantastic.Their highlights for me is their bulgogi and steak.Here's some pics belowI rate this place a 5/5 for flavor, price and portion size.They also get a 5 in my book for customer service.Oh yeah the desert was ice cream with a fried something ? but it was excellent.I went back again today to get some food and I am pleased to say that the service and food was exactly the same. This time I got Jiggy and Nian.They actually helped us cook our food and it came out amazing as usual. I will be back again soonThanks guys

We had an incredible meal at TK92. The service is excellent with multiple servers coming around to take your order, change your grill, replenish your sides, and ensure that you are having a positive experience. The sides were all fresh and flavorful (and of course free).The meats were probably the highlight, we enjoyed beef bulgogi, aged short rib, and pork belly. Every one was excellent but the short rib was probably our favorite. All of it was capped.off with 2 for 1 soju and some free ice cream sandwiches. We can't wait until the next time we return to this wonderfyl place!

Best Korean bbq experience I have had. I will be returning back.

We walked in around 5:45 so we were seated within 5 minutes. There is no ayce option during covid. Four our party of 4, we ordered the chef 's choice. The highlights are the dry aged steak and Iberico pork belly. All of the banchan are delicious except maybe the pork kimchi stew. It's a bit too bad sour for my taste. Great service by Lizceth and her teammates.
