Awesome food! Great service and even better staff!!

Love the food but one of the waitresses ask if the service and food was good and I replied that it was. Then she asked why I didn't leave a tip. The situation was funny to me but my coworkers were annoyed by the question. I had paid the bill for the whole group and they left a cash tip on the table and waitress just assumed that I should have left a tip. I don't go there as much now.

Really terrible customer service. My family and I ended up going elsewhere for dinner. The server ( a thin young lady ) must have had a really really rough day. No greeting at the door, the server looked angry that she was at work, and when we asked for some water after having been seated for 10 minutes, she was quick to let us know to wait after giving us a look of annoyance while waving her hand. In addition to the lack of customer service, it definitely doesn't appear to be an authentic Korean restaurant. Sorry but they get a 1 out of 5...

Food was mediocre, in addition to being expensive, and they have closed their bbq tables. We ordered a seafood soup which came with about 16oz of tofu, 1 shrimp and2 small clams the broth was tasteless and there were no scallops. The beef bungoli was ok alot for fat. There were no Korean or other Asian options for kids, just chicken nuggets. Overall I don't plan on returning.

The food is really good and the grilled mackerel is one of the best in San Antonio. The only real problem is that I can get a good size steak for less and that means something. I have to ask myself, "would I rather pay more for this or have a steak?"

Food was good. My daughter love hers. The beef bulgogi was a little dry but good. Sides dishes were excellent. We will come back.

I order the Ribs and a coke food was good , just little expensive $30 for the ribs and rice ? but come more bones than meat ?, but was good just think ? need more meat ?Good people there very friendly, will still give 5 stars ✨

Awful food.I ordered dakgogi and I got chicken plastered on Gochujang. Literally cooked chicken with some of it having chunks of Gochujang on top.Waited over 40 minutes for food to come. My friend and i were the only one in the restaurant at the time.. tables came after us and they got their order first.There was one of the workers kids running around the building, in the cooking sectionSaw the cooks and the waitress talking and nothing and the child is literally running in the kitchen in and out.Side dishes are bare minimum, 2 tiny slices of kimchi. 1 of each side dish basically.I'm a korean and we have a big appetite and small patience. Lmao definitely do not come here if you don't want an hour wait just for an appetizer in an empty stomach. Food came out before appetizer and the waitress kept dissapearingThis place is run by Chinese. They do not know who to cook korean. If you want authentic go to a hole in the wall.

1st time eating here. Food was very good all around and portions were generous. Each Korean BBQ entree came w rice and the side dishes in pictures. Seating was good for ten people. Place was nice and clean. The worst part of our stay was the waitress. She made us pass our drinks every time she filled them and our side dishes. She also disappeared and never asked us if we needed anything aside for asking us about refills twice. The wait was fine for us but again it was our waitress that didn’t help. There were many tables to wait on and there was another waiter in the restaurant. Also we ordered the bottle of cold Saki. It was around 24oz or so. It’s a good amount for Saki. Enough for 4 people to drink during a lunch. The waitress was not helpful in recommending a portion of saki for two. The smaller portion would’ve been perfect… We are not in a hurry to go back. I tipped well anyway. no masks are required at my time of visit 11/28/21.

Great service and the food is top notch. They definitely don’t serve you small servings so come prepared to throw down. Their Kalbi is delicious! Kisses to the chef. Being half Korean and born overseas I definitely get picky about my Korean food but this place 199% satisfies my homesickness. GreaT environment and friendly staff you will definitely enjoy, one of the best Korean spots in town!
