Came here with 9 and had a terrible experience. After we sat down and gave in our first order, the manager came and told us that larger parties has a mandatory 25% gratuity. Tipping is fine, not writing the mandatory fee on the menu is just malicious equivocation.Additionally the manager straight up stopped our orders from being processed. On the menu it explicitly says it's one beef short rib per person, we ordered 4 and we're stopped from additional orders.Finally we got kicked out of the reasturant because we asked the hostess why our orders were being cancelled.Our server was great and we ended up tipping 60 to the waiter.Glad to never come back again
I dinned in the restaurant for the farewell dinner with our friends. We were supposed to enjoy our time.This 1 star review is for the waitress who forced us to tip 25%, refuse to fulfill our orders (it is ayce!), and in the end ask us to leave. She claim herself as the hostess of the restaurant. She is the older Asian lady who wear glasses.This message is for the owner of the restaurant: This lady is toxic to your place!Vince who served our table is awesome. We were asked to leave the restaurant by the hostess but we still tipped Vince. We value he service. He is a great waiter.
*DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE*1. Food is not fresh. Many of us threw up after eating the seafood there. Food poison alert!2. TIP SCAM. The Korean hostess forced us to pay 25% tips after we sat down after a one-hour wait.3. Worst customer service. We ordered meat and only got 1/10 of them.As a big k-bbq fan, there’re so many other options nearby and in Korea town. Don’t waste your money and time to get the worst food and service in the world.
I visited Ko Ryo Jung with a group of friends and it was a great experience to try Korean BBQ. It was fun to cook your own meat. They have a large selection and they were all delicious. If you have never tried Korean BBQ I would suggest checking out Ko Ryo Jung.
The prices were definitely on the upper end of KBBQ but the variety for the all you can eat option A is really expansive and it's all delicious. There wasn't a single bit of meat that was disappointing. I appreciate that you can grab your own rice paper, but should you need to ask for something, the waiters are very attentive. I felt well treated and left very content with my meal and night out with friends. Worth every penny.
Great place if you're in the Southbay and don't have time for a Koreatown trip! Friendly service and the quality is good. Gets a little busy though, so we showed up for an early dinner to get easier parking.
As a veteran enjoyer of KBBQ, I tend to judge places like this very harshly, especially when they are as expensive as this one! (Almost $30 per person, with a 2 person minimum.) However, Ko Ryo Jung checked all my boxes perfectly.Firstly, the grills are top notch. I think they may be treated cast iron (as opposed to wire, aluminum, or stainless steel). The meat cooked quickly, evenly, and never stuck to the grill. Despite how quickly the meat cooked, my hand never felt hot while cooking, which tells me that heat was not wasted (again, as opposed to wire, aluminum, or stainless steel).The selection of meat is stunning. Even on the limited menu (Menu A), you have exotic/non-standard choices, such as Baby Octopus. The meat is also of obvious quality, looking and tasting fresh from the time it arrives to the time you bite into it.The establishment allows you to order up to 3 plates of meat at a time, reducing wait times between meats drastically. In addition, the waitstaff is incredibly attentive and prompt. I never felt like I was waiting.I only have 2 minor complaints:Selection of sides is limited, compared to other KBBQ establishments. The sides are also self-serve, put out like a buffet line. (This is a negative in my opinion, especially during COVID Times.)Interior of restaurant is LOUD. I couldn't hear the music (Standard KPop fare, with the music videos playing on wall-mounted TVs) and I also couldn't hear my partner. This combined with the width of the tables made it near impossible to hold a conversation with her.All in all, unless you are looking for a venue for a romantic date, I highly recommend this restaurant.
This restaurant is "okay"... Food is whatever and the side salad bar is a great addition however most of the staff here are very rude. One staff member in particular is very unprofessional. After paying for the meal, this staff member comes running out to let us know the tip we gave was too low and the worse part was that he wasn't even a server. His attitude is the most infuriating part of all this.
I love this place, i can honestly say they have a complete menu when it comes to food.My only negative thing to say weekday lunch time serving 8 tables and when my friend was needed water i need to ask twice and felt bad that my friend needed it badly but wanst able to pay attention of urgency.At night or late afternoon server (mexican or other race not asian) did a great job serving multiple table with no problem. All evening server are great no doubt about that.The owner or manager is also very handowns to his customer (the asian man). He is alert of what the customer needed.I recommend eating here most likely late afternoon to dinner. Lunch depends if server are picky who they serve more. Even i am asian i feel like some employee are chosing who they want to serve. Thank you Have a great day
It’s a great Korean bbq around the area. Reasonable price with plenty of good selections of meats, etc. Good quality of meat as well. Highly recommended!
