WOW is the first word that comes in mind. We went on a date yesterday to celebrate our graduation from ISU. We had waited to come here to celebrate this whole school year, and we were so excited to share a special date at this place.First, the food was excellent. We have always had a taste for Korean food, and the sides did not disappoint. Unlimited sides helped give some variety and flavor to our meat, and we loved trying new things. The quantity was perfect. We also loved the Korean Wine! We even left with leftover meat and rice. OH… and the ice cream with honey bread?? AMAZING!! If you’re not full with the unlimited sides and rice plus meat plus dessert…I really don’t know what to tell you.The pricing was not horrible, especially since we went on a Tuesday (discount for weekdays). I understand it is pricier, but for special occasions it is not bad! Enjoy the experience as it is, and save up a little extra cash for this place! Will not be disappointed.And lastly the server…. Amore is wonderful. Best server we have ever had. She treated us with respect and kindness, which most places do not because of our age. She showed us what to order, cooked in front of us, and made us feel so special, even adding a sparkler to our dessert when she found out we were graduating college!Overall, we were stunned at how full our hearts and stomachs were. Quality place with wonderful people, and excellent service. Please go enjoy!!

The food is excellent. You can order a wide variety of options from more price conscious to fancy. The drinks are great and reasonably priced - something you won't find in some of the other upscale restaurants in town.The service was outstanding. You will not find better staff in town.For dessert, try the honey bread.

Me and my boyfriend went for dinner on a Wednesday night. Not very busy. Great atmosphere as you walk in. Loved the k pop playing and the decor. The food, come on it just can’t get any better. All you can and quality meat, sides, dessert and drinks for 38 bucks! Will definitely be back. This placed was really good and highly recommended.

We had a lovely birthday meal at Harmony Korean BBQ. It was our first time dining this way and Nate was an amazing and helpful server. The house soy, pepper paste and salt was the perfect compliment to the meats. The cocktails were a little sweet for me. But the old fashioned was a hit with my partner. We did both love the Road Bike beer we ended up getting. We ordered the chicken, pork belly and beef ribs for our main meals. All the sides were delicious. The kimchee and potato salad were probably my favorite. We will be back but we will consider that this is a much longer dining experience. It's worth the time for the amazing food. Just plan to stay a while.

Had a wonderful time at Harmony. Having this be my first time and being we had a large group we all ordered the experience. This featured ribeye, flap steak and the wygu beef. All the sides were included and unlimited (too many to name).We also had a few appetizers we split including the Corn Cheese which is IMO like a street corn served in an iron platter that is very good. The kimchi pizza (Buchimgae crispy pancake) is basically deep fried spicy kimchi served as a large fritter with sauce. It sounded odd but was so delicious. Final appetizer was the Deok (fried rice cake) that was fantastic. The BBQ was sweet and sticky but paired well with the rice, very good.The beef courses were amazing. Our wait staff got us stared with the grilling process and by the end we had the hang of getting the meat perfect. Ribeye is one of my favorites but move over ribeye wygu takes the top spot. This wygu beef is tender, juicy and literally melts in your mouth. I cannot recommend it enough. Very good.Finally, after the gluttonous first 4 courses, dessert ( included in the experience meal). We had the honey cake served with ice cream and strawberries. This cake is fried with a churro style crust on the outside and the center is fluffy like a funnel cake. It was very good as well.The wait staff was pleasant and attentive. The owner even stopped by several times to insure our meal was enjoyable.I will be sure to go back to Harmony. This is truly a meal experience that is pricey but well worth it IMO. Thank you for the great food.

Went here with my wife and kids tonight and overall had a very nice time. We had a reservation for 6pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't very busy at all. Prices were fairly high as can be expected from Epiphany farms restaurants ,but the food looked amazing. Really nice pieces of meat, dishes full of beautiful color and texture, and overall just food that was really well plated.My wife and I both ordered the Bibimbap which we both had mixed feelings about... I was expecting something a bit more traditional in terms of items served with/in the bowl like bean sprouts, meat with a bit of a sweeter flavor and firmer texture (this was almost the consistency of finely pulled pork in a sauce that seemed almost a bit sour?) , Maybe some mushrooms and a pickled cucumber. This one was just a bit different and not in a way I personally enjoyed. I ended up sending it back and the server was nice enough to let me order something else, but I felt bad because it was really a beautiful dish, just not really something I personally enjoyed. (If you like Seoul Mama's Bibimbap, this one is quite a bit different) .The kids had pork belly and the Harmony steak which were both delicious. As was the vegetable platter we ordered as well. Once again, very fresh and vibrant looking veggies and meats.We tried two desserts and both were beautiful and delicious. Especially the shaved ice.I love to try new Korean restaurants because I'm not allowed back in Korea after inventing Samsung's famous "always broken" line of washers and dryers which the company is still playing damage control on to this day. Anywho, I'd give this place a 4/5 mainly because of our not so great experience with the Bibimbap. We had a great time though

Extremely dissatisfied! We did the $38 experience, was not worth the money. We had a table of 4, the mini grill that's on the table took up the whole table so there was no room for our plates and drinks. The banchan was a joke, if i wanted rabbit food i would go to farm and fleet, hard beans, and radishes....for 4 people? The meat was tolerable, but nothing like getting splatted on with the hot juices from the grill, FYI if your'e sitting next to the grill...be cautious. What was served with the meat was only rice and lettuce....i can make that at home. The portion sizes were very little for our table of 4. Our server never came back to flip the meat over so we did it ourselves and the meat was burnt. The ice cream was non other than shaved ice and old stale marshmallows with defrosted fruit. We all left there with a poor experience and hungry.

We had an 8:00pm reservation on a Friday night. Our waitress asked for our drinks right away and showed us how to toast in Korean. She asked us for our orders and we ended up doing the experience. The food is amazing. All the sides could be refilled and the options were super tasty. We love KBB places and this was probably the highest quality we have had. The only missing star is because the portions of meat were extremely limited. The great thing about KBB is the sharing of food and it just didn't seem like there was enough to share. It took away from the experience just because it felt awkward to ration out the meat to make sure everyone had a "taste" of everything. We ended with dessert. It was the unexpected hero of the meal. It was delicious, not super sweet, and full of unique flavors. It was so large that we couldn't finish it between everyone.Pros:High Quality ingredientsWaitress was amazing and brought a snippet of culture to our experienceDessert is to die forBlueberry Rice Beer is unique and worth taking some homeDelicious sidesCons:Tables only accommodate up to a party of 4, making large parties and special events impossible for future visitsNot enough protein for Blono's food sceneMedium/High pricing ($200+ for 3 people if eating and drinking)Overall it was a great experience. We will be returning, but it's not a once a month location. This is a place you take someone out to eat that you havent seen for a long time and want a quiet and intimate place to hang out.

Extremely pretentious. I went here with 3 total people on 11/24/2021. The bill was $160 not including a tip. Two side dishes added, no specialty drinks at all. Not even kidding, we had to stop at Steak and Shake nearby because we were still hungry. The menu is confusing. The waitresses recommended "The Experience". It's essentially a sample platter priced at $38 per adult... The portions are meager at best. Lettuce, different fermented vegetables, and three tiny portions of different meats. We actually laughed at the end because we couldn't believe that was all we got for $38 each person. I told my friend this is a "one and done" restaurant. I don't anticipate this restaurant being around long term unless they lower the prices or adjust the menu. "The Experience" should probably be renamed to "The Poor Experience" because it robs you of your money and leaves you hungry end the end.

My wife and I shared The Experience. Very excellent quality food. All food is farm to table fresh. Get what you pay for, meaning it's not a cheap meal, but it is excellent. Yet again the Epiphany farms restaurant group does not disappoint! We will certainly be recommending this to others.
