Not the greatest meats but can’t beat the price for this kind of kbbq in Chicago, especially for lunch. Really enjoy the japcahe and Hawaiian bugolgi. Wouldn’t go here often but it’s a great place if you’re in the mood for AYCE.
The food is absolutely yumm and so is the service. Had a wonderful time and drank a little too much strawberry Soju. My tummy, soul and heart felt full and happy ?
BRING YOUR OWN MEAT THERMOMETER (BYOMT)this restaurant is an amazing experience of Korean BBQ. the flavors pop, rock, and jazz all at the same time.it’s definitely worth the $29/person for the buffet.the atmosphere is just okay, the music is loud and it is hot (due to having multiple live stoves in the dining room). if you’re prepared for that, you’ll have a good time.
my friend and i went here for lunch on saturday and we were quickly seated. Servers were nice and attentive, changing our grills whenever it burns. It is ayce korean bbq for about $40 (after tax and tip) per person, drinks not included. You can order three meats and three sides at a time in addition to the banchan. Our favorite meats were beef brisket, seasoned steak, bulgogi, and pork belly. Even though there are four sauces, all of them are inadequate companion to the meats, lacking in flavor. They surely need to add ssamjang to their sauce collection. For their sides, i like the salad and kimchi. I dont see corn cheese which would be a good addition. During weekday lunch its much cheaper $22 so I would want to go again during the week bringing my own ssamjang!
I really would recommend this place to a friend. The only downside was the wait. We had a party of seven and we waited 2.5 hours for a seat. If you have more than 2 people I would probably suggest making a reservation far in advance. Great selection of meats and the sauce and sticky rice were bomb as hell. I will probably return in the future
Was a better experience than I was expecting!Very spacious seating and environment; the vibe was very casual and music (K-pop of course) wasn’t too distracting.Food choices (entree and sides) were a bit on the simple side, but pretty good quality for the price we paid for all-you-can-eat!So unfortunate we had to wait over an hour Saturday at 5 pm, for a party of two to get seated. Wish they took reservations.
I would rate them 5 stars. We were celebrating a friend's achievement, and the waiter was honestly the best! Kind and always there for us. We had a cake and the waitress (Lorena) helped us with some plates . Manager then came to say that we were not allowed to eat anything from outside, in a very disrespectful way. Felt bad for the amazing waitress we had. I understand we were not allowed (we did not see the post outside) but that was just not the way to let us know once the cake was already served (they didn't want to give us forks or spoons)Food was amazing otherwise!
Great dining experience and food if you love Korean BBQ with Korean pop music. When first entering, we were greeted politely by the front door guy who made our reservations. Even though he said an hour, we lucked out, and it only ended up being 20 minutes.After being promptly seated, our server explained everything we needed about how to prepare our food. He was nice and very attentive to our needs. The meat that was brought to us was excellent, and with our servers' instruction, I was able to cook the meat quite well. We had the shrimp, Hawaiian steak, season steak ,Octopus , steam egg, and pork steak. The drink we had was the supo, which was quite tasty as well.I recommend coming here in a group or is perfect for Date night if you enjoy the korean pop music vibe.
I have been to this location twice and they are sadly very understaffed. Every time I go I have two wait more than 20 minutes for service. Even if it is not crowded the waiters seem to take long to bring a clean grill plate and drinks. They should also invest in training as the waiters have made mistakes while providing the receipts. I will not be returning to this location. Two stars given because the portions provided are fair for the price.
This place was PHENOMENAL! We went during lunch, $25 for all you can eat meat and sides. We will definitely be back when we visit Chicago again. The water was very helpful and attentive but didn't hover. He made sure we knew what we were doing. KBBQ is always a fun experience, and this was fantastic.
