It's a really good Korean Barbecue restaurant. All you can eat meat for 32 bucks is pretty good as it also comes with many sides. I expected cafeteria quality meat, but the meat is actually very tender and high quality. This is also literally one of the only Korean Barbecue restaurants that allow all you can eat meat, so... It gets five stars for me.
The service was horrible for the price and the mandatory service tip. The manager (man with glasses) was repeatedly rude and gave us attitude throughout the night. The portions were small and service was slow. They did not listen to us and questioned us when we asked for the grill to be switched out. Due to religious reasons, members of our party cannot consume pork yet the manager argued with us when we asked for the grill to be switched out. The servers purposefully lowered the heat of the grill to make cooking time longer. The manager kicked us out after an hour of eating because they failed to organize their time for their reservations. They were unapologetic for interrupting our dining time. The food was mediocre at best but the complimentary dishes were disgusting. Hot oil was splattering under the table and onto our legs. The servers made us uncomfortable and we felt rushed. They were really strict and controlling which ruined our dining experience. Lastly they charged us much higher than they should’ve. Some people paid $42 while others paid $60. We were charged with drinks that we did not order. Would never recommend coming here. If I could give a zero star rating, this would be it. I have never seen an establishment that treats their customers like this. As a Korean, is a disgrace to korean barbecue and to our culture.
The manager (Peter) was careless and inconsiderate towards my dietary restrictions. The server was inconsiderate of my religious dietary restriction of eating no pork. The server displayed clear annoyance when we asked to switch the grill after pork was grilled. The servers were really strict and controlling which made the dining experience much worse. The food here is alright but some of the dishes that were given to us were burned or bland. When sitting by the grill, there are moments where the hot oil will splatter on my leg. Lastly, the manager kicked us out even though our time limit was not up yet (even though we had half an hour left). The manager was unprofessional, unapologetic, and failed to communicate to us in person. If I could give a place zero stars, this would be it. Would never recommend coming here.
Pros:(1) Like the only Korean BBQ around(2) Lots of options (Kimchi, pickled onions, pickled jalapeños, pickles, bulging I, chicken, short rib, beef tongue, calamari, shrimp, etc…)Cons:(1) Slow service - mostly to help you run into the 1.5 hour buffet time limit(2) Korean BBQ is intimidating for novices (but I believe they have other options)
If you don't want customers to eat too much meat, don't offer all you can eat. It's ok to raise the price due to the inflation or high cost of meat, but the time limit reduced to 1.5 hours from 2 hours, including eating and ordering, is ridiculous, especially the service you provide isn't fast enough for us to keep order more meat right away.Oh, and I saw many reviews mentioned the owner’s attitude. YES, it isn't very pleasant. She gave us a nasty look when we were still in our 90 minutes for some unknown reason. It is really a shame to see a business model like this. If you don't want to treat customers appropriately, don’t open a business. Try to be a decent human being first.
Honestly, not much for decor on the inside, but who cares because the food was absolutely delicious!!I'm cool with a business saving money on decoration if they have quality product, and this restaurant has great quality with tremendous flavor!We did the Korean barbecue buffet all you can eat for $32 a piece for four of us, and it was absolutely incredible. And of course it's fun to get to cook your own protein as well!
The meat is pretty high quality and the marinade they use for Galbi and Bulgogi is the second best marinade I've ever tasted.Now for the bad news and why I won't be eating there anymore - gratuity does not go to the servers and to add insult to injury it has an 18% mandatory minimum added to the bill. Plus a ridiculous 90 minute maximum that's really only 60 minutes even if you're not eating anymore and the restaurant is empty.As someone who has worked every job in the restaurant business the gratuity thing kills me because for a lot of hard workers gratuity is the difference between ramen and left overs for dinner or an actual meal for the whole family.
Was very tasty, prices are a bit high for the, "all you can eat". Notice the shrimp was not cut, hard to peel, but still tasty. The restaurant was very clean, and the table and food showed good presentation. Friendly staff, other than being told, we had to leave after 90 minutes, due to people coming in (even though there was plenty of empty table).
Birthday dinner with friends. The food was great. We had eat all you can and I love the sea food that we grilled
Love their food but service was slow because only one server ran the whole place, we were told to use low heat grill which took forever to cook so we turned it up ourselves other wise 1.50 hours wouldn't be enough to fill us.
