This funky place was okay. The place had many empty tables but we had to wait outside for a few minutes. Service was ok. Average all around. There are a few parking stalls in the back.

The huge shrimp were fresh and sweet, brisket and steak were good too. Service was extraordinary wait staff were attentive. Overall it beats our expectation in every way.

Go hungry and you won’t be disappointed! Super friendly staff and helpful if you have any questions about the food and set up.

Went with my husbond and 14-year old son, as I’ve had great bbq in South Korea. OMG what a mistake! First of all, it's very expensive with the only option 'all you can eat', which isn't much, as you have to wait for the meat to cook. Arrogant atmosphere, and even worse: the place is dirty, greasy air, greasy floor and walls (also graphitti everywhere) and service non existing. They obviously expect guests to know how to cook the meat completely by themselves. When asking for help on how long to cook the meat and when to turn it over -since we really had no experience- the Walter would come and occasionally turn the meat over, muttering a few incomprehensible words. The air became more and more soily and dirty, actually making it hard to breathe. As the Waiter failed to control the cooking temperature, the oil became so hot and boiling and therefore OIL SPRAYED DIRECTLY IN TO OUR SON’S EYE !! Very painful for him and my husbond immediately went to the (of course) dirtiest restroom ever with him to rinse his eye. Meanwhile I told the Waiter what just happened; no apparant reaction(!) At this point we completely had lost all appetite and of course just wanted to get the hell out of there. We asked to speak to the manager, told her this was unacceptable and no way we would pay for this disastrous meal. She agreed (probably nervous to get sued!) but didn't really apologize, and we left this horrible place.

Good service, friendly staffs and food is very onolicious?

This restaurant is AYCE and you’re able to eat until you’re stuffed for up to an hour and a half. There’s many sides and meat to pick out. For 2 people, we were only able to eat one round of food. If your don’t eat everything, there is a $10 leftover fee. I liked the restaurant when it wasn’t AYCE. I feel like the meat had more flavor then. A lot has changed from when we went often a few years ago. Be sure to book a reservation as the place gets crowded quickly!

The atmosphere and food was great. Side options are plenty. The hostess was professional and timely with replacing cook tops and additional meats. Good for groups but important to make a reservation.

Disappointed. That is my word for this restaurant. It was so much better when it was called. “6-7-8” years ago. If you fell in love with that Korean BBQ you will be disappointed with the changes. It is now all you can eat and while the meat was fine, it has lost its allure. I would no longer recommend this restaurant. The all you can eat menu is now $27 per adult. Not sure why they offer Australian beer but they do, and graffiti in bathrooms is less than inviting.

First time we ever had Korean BBQ. It was an amazing experience. It was all you could eat. Our server was amazing. He recommended the spicy seafood soup and it was very tasty. My only suggestion would be for the shrimp to be peeled for you prior to cooking. Very busy place. Definitely make reservations ahead of time.

the food is very good and the service is fast
