Do not go her unless you want minced fish in your sushi roll and hair in your ramen. It was actually disgusting.

Not your typical K-BBQ where you have your own private grill for your table but a great option. Good quality cuts of meat along with appetizers and cocktails. The setup is shared big tables with a cook grilling for you. Lots of rules to go by as well. Downside is you can't grill your food the way you'd like and it's a shared table. The pace is slower and the experience is less private. Although I can see how some would prefer this way to dine. They do validate parking but not the full price. You'll still need to pay $2 of the $5.

I had a really good time. Came on a Sunday night from about 7:30 to close. Sat at the bar for a bit and enjoyed some drinks before friends arrived. Then moved to the Korean BBQ area. I enjoyed the house separation for those just ordering sushi and other items. Food was really good. I don't know how people make it to dessert here?

Pleasant surprise finding a Korean-Japanese place after our movie! They had a tableside all-you-can eat option, but we weren't up for that after all the popcorn. Sundubu Jjigae and ramen were both outstanding. Only had one specialty sushi roll (quadruple crab roll baked), but it was delicious. Nice sampling of three classic banchan (cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and pickled radish). Looking forward to trying the Dolsot Bibimbap, Yookayjung, Bulgogi and other traditional dishes.

I really love the food here and the experience! They have some great menu choices and it’s fun to come here with friends or on a date! The appetizers are delicious and I love their cucumber salad! The sushi rolls aren’t good, but I wasn’t expecting them to be. The steak was really good! It’s a little pricey, so I wouldn’t go there often, but it’s nice once in a while. The only problem here is the service, but they are understaffed so it’s understandable. Hopefully their service improves though because it’s pretty crucial since the food is being cooked in front of you. We ordered shrimp and it ended up being burnt because I had to come around the table and turn it over myself. So it was a really great experience but for the price and the service, it’s not worth it to go often.

The food here was delicious, and that's the only positive thing I have to say. It took a very long time for us to get our food. It wasn't our waitress's fault. She was extremely overworked and expected to do way too many tables at once. Plus, the wait staff are supposed to cook the food in front of you, and we had to wait much longer than we should have for them to even start bringing out our food and cooking it. It got so bad that one member of our group actually got up and started cooking the food himself because the waitress was taking so long in between coming to our table. And the table was like a semicircle such that the people who sat on the end could only talk to the person next to them. It should have been a round table or a booth like at other Korean barbecue restaurants because that makes it easier for everyone in the group to talk to everyone else. The price was also outrageous, especially when you consider the low quality of the service and the amount of time we had to spend waiting for our food. Other Korean barbecue restaurants that I have been to charge at least $10 less for the same food. I will not be going back.

The food was extremely tasty and plentiful for what we paid. While I don’t eat seafood my husband and kids do so we opted for the bbq with better meats and seafood for abt 35.00 pp. the service was a bit slow but it was because they were clearly understaffed like every place else! Worth the 1hr drive, will be back

Pros: We tried Golden Coach AYCE korean bbq. Beef brisket, seasoned prime steak, and mura's premium steak were really good. Interesting atmosphere; just like hibachi grill, a chef cooks for you.Cons: ayce korean bbq took forever come out. They give you 2 hours limit, and it is definitely possible to get full within that time. However, during the busy dinner time (until 8pm), each bbq order took 30 min to even come out. Chef supposed to cook for you, but they were so busy that we end up cooking thr meat ourselves, otherwise meat would start burning. They seem very short staffed; chefs were running around like crazy, and they were taking care of 12 to 16 guests at a time. It got less busy after 8pm, but not many people eat out for dinner at this time lol. Side dishes were not tasty at all. I ordered cold noodle for $2.99 extra, and I instantly regreted ordering it. I saw a lot of people just waiting for the bbq to come out. I feel like the place will be much better if staffing and side dishes are fixed.

Used to love going here , used to be around $26 and tasted good and was cooked well . Now pretty much a $10 price increase and additional for short rib which used to be included in the $26 . Also noticed food was not well seasoned nor cooked well . Seems like they increased pricing for food quality that is sub par from what it used to be . Sad to see this place go downhill so fast.

This is a marvelous establishment. Come hungry and prepared to feast on great meats and Korean food staples. At times the table cooks can become seemly overwhelmed, and forget about assisting with the meal prep.
