“Excellent selection of meats to choose from. The Korean dumpling, spicy tofu soup, and corn cheese is very delicious. My family enjoys eating at Smoking Tiger!“

“The kiddo had a blast. First time for some of us and all had a great time. Very family friendly.“

“I cannot even describe how lovely everything was. Young, our server, was the sweetest and kindest server I have ever met. She helped us thoroughly the entire time, and made everything so much better. The food was more than fantastic, more flavorful than any food that has made its way onto my tongue. It blessed my taste buds, and it was the best Korean BBQ I have ever had!“

“Well worth the drive from Tucson. This time we weren’t prepared to haul home any cold/frozen things but next time we will be better prepared.
Fresh produce section had a great variety of fruits and vegetables to pick from and we also picked up some kitchenware.
Ready made sushi was fresh and perfect lunch before the drive.
We also wanted to try the food court but the abundance of options was overwhelming and we had already grabbed some sushi from the cold case.
Need to come back soon!“

“I loved the entire experience! The wait staff was incredibly helpful and patient with us on our first visit. The aesthetic was so nice and modern. The food was amazing! A little pricier than I thought, but it was worth it! I’d happily visit again next I’m in the area!“

“Great food and large portions. We had the steamed egg soup, chicken feet and rice cakes with beef, all were yummy. Be prepared for spice 🥵. On a scale of one to purgatory the chicken feet were about an 8-9 and rice cakes around a 6-7. Still, highly recommended!“

“Food is amazing !! Service is wonderful! Arianna was amazing. She explained everything perfectly to us, checked up on us, and was very accommodating! Give her a raise!!!! We love the coziness of the place as well and were very satisfied with everything. Perfect place for a date or girls day :)“

“Jin BBQ in Mesa is the winning choice in my book! We stopped in around the 1st of August and I still can’t get this place off of my mind!

My family and I had a long day of exploring the Asian district and decided to eat here before we headed back to our hotel. I’ve had KBBQ in other places but none that taught me truly what an authentic experience looked like! Shout out to Dana! 🤍🤍 She walked us through the menu and gave us excellent recommendations based on what the table was asking for. We decided to go with Beef Combo 2 and the truffle mayo potato seafood pancake, totally worth it! Atmosphere was awesome too. K-pop playing in the background but not overwhelmingly loud like some places I’ve been in the past.

This was the first time I’ve had KBBQ where the server showed us how to use all the items laid out on the table for us, so kind and friendly! Such a fun place for me to celebrate my birthday. I’d definitely travel back up from Tucson to eat here again. Can’t recommend Jin BBQ enough, cheers!“

“Best KBBQ and Hotpot in the valley!! Our server was Thompson and he was quick and helped us answer any questions we had!! 100/10 would definitely recommend and will definitely be back, prices are great also, it was only 70$ for 2 for unlimited hotpot, buffet, kbbq and appetizers, best deal in town!!“

“Went there for lunch, Food was delicious clean environment and the staff displayed excellent customer Service ! 🤙🏾“

“Out of all the Korean restaurants I’ve been too in AZ, This is the only restaurant where the food tastes like im back in LA. Prices are lower than other places like Koreatown and Gogi and the quality of the food is unmatched. There is a-lot of visible prep time seen in the dishes and it felt like i was eating at my Grandmas again. To our surprise the one who prepared our dishes was “thee” grandmother. This place is worth the 50 minute drive. Their soybean paste soup is a testament of their taste, and i was privileged to try it. The marinated crab is a plus.

The people in Seattle were very lucky to have them when the management had their restaurant over there years ago.“

“Very close to moms cooking and authentic bomb food!“

“❤️‍🔥 Top-tier 🍶 🍗 🤌🏼 Perfect crunch ! And the sweet & spicy sauce pairs heavenly 🌶️“

“This place is great and can make many of their dishes vegan, if asked! They are very careful and have many vegetarian customers. Great tasting authentic Korean food! Sundubu-jjigae - (Soft tofu stew - water based instead of fish) Japchae - (sweet potato starch noodles mixed with vegetables) bibimbap - (hot rice topped with seasoned vegetables (namul) bibimbap dolsot - (sizzling hot rice in stone pot, topped with seasoned vegetables) Mul Naengmyeon - (Korean cold noodle soup - chewy buckwheat noodles) Great thing is that you can go to the Korean supermarket afterwards, because it is in the same complex, along with other restraunts and a bakery.“

“My friend and I make regular visits to The Stone Korean Tofu House. The food, service and cleanliness is unequaled. Their kimchi is the best in the valley. Everything on their menu is prepared with authenticity catering to the wonderfully diverse and delicious Korean cuisine.“

“Such a great and unique food spot! Order a couple different dogs and a side. All were top notch and the staff was super friendly!“

“Great, clean and express Korean food. My husband’s restaurant used to own a Chinese Korean restaurant in Korea and SF, and he said this is quite legit.

Good Kim Chi - very tasty.

PaJeon (seafood pancake) - crispy on the outside and seafood was cooked to perfection.

Korean Fried Chicken - both original and sweet and spicy are very good

Bibimbap - bulgogi is too sweet for my liking. But not bad

Spicy Pork bento box - very good

Jajiangmyuen- very good. Unfortunately, camera didn’t get to eat until the end.

Spicy Pork Belly - excellent. Highly recommended.

Tteokbokki- stirred fried rice cake - rice cake was tough, too al dente but good flavors.

Jjamppong (spicy seafood)
noodles - texture of the noodles is a little bit more al dente than my liking but broth are yummy. Very authentic flavors. Highly recommended.“

“Fresh food, nice presentation for bento boxes and Kimbap. Rice perfectly cooked, generous portions of chicken katsu which was excellent. Soft tofu was decent but wish it wasn’t served in a plastic bowl. Price is on the high side for foodcourt food, but quality and portions were good.“

“First time at a HotPot and it was great. Had the Solo pot with beef and dumplings and house broth. It had great flavor and was even better with a small spoon of chili oil/paste. Will definitely being friends and family here.“

“We are here from Massachusetts visiting our son who just had surgery. He wanted to take us for some amazing food and man he was spot on ! We have been here for five days and we eat out a lot. This Zu & Pocha Restaurant is by far top notch. It not only exceeded all of our expectations but surpassed a couple of crazy high-end joints that couldn't hold a candle to this place. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the amazing team effort from a top notch staff. Back home you would have a line out the door. My wife and I are stuffed with delicious food and drink. We will be back without question every time we visit our son or should I say we will visit our son when we come back to have a fantastic meal for a great value. Thanks again, Your newest biggest fans Bob & Paula“

“Service was solid! Menu very easy for keto. Recommend: beef belly, brisket, and pork belly. And the cabbage kimchi. So good! A very enjoyable early Father's Day dinner celebrating the dads.“

“Awesome experience at Busan mart! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location is clean with seating available inside if you choose to eat in-store. There is a great selection of Korean snacks, groceries and drinks! I highly recommend their house made Gimbap, Spam Musubi and their Taiyaki. Everything was very delicious!“

“The staff is very lovely and nice. The food is very tasty. It’s a nice place for a few friends or the whole gang. It’s has a nice pub atmosphere but I really wouldn’t call it a pub. To me it’s a nice place to “Hang Out” with good friends. They serve Korean pub style food and they play Korean Music! But don’t take my word for it go see them! If you go with friends share ya food that’s the proper thing to do… just saying. Love you guys!“

“Wish I never moved out of Az there’s no SHABU like Jim Shabu!!! . The best. Planning a road trip just to visit!“

“It’s been a long time since I’ve found a restaurant I’d definitely come back to.

First, the portions are incredibly generous- you definitely get great value for your money.

But what impressed me even more was the flavor. Too many restaurants rely on overly salty or heavy seasoning, and that’s often what leaves me feeling tired after eating out. Here, the food is well-balanced and tastes like a genuine home-cooked asian meal. It’s comforting, satisfying, and never overwhelming.

A new location recently opened close to our home, which is fantastic. I sincerely hope they continue to maintain this quality and consistency because we’ll definitely be coming back often.

Highly recommended!“

“My family goes there pretty frequently, and have been for well over 15 years. The food is generally some of the best Korean food I have had in the Phoenix area. I have tried about half the menu, and can’t say I have had anything bad. The Spicy Pork used to be my go to, but in the last few months the meat has gotten a little weird. Every thing else is still really good though. I can say the food keeps us coming back, but the service really needs a lot of work. Half the time they forget to bring you something you ask for. Soda, spoon, extra napkins, these are all things you will have to ask for several times. I have also sat down and waited quite a while before they took our order. Once they drop off the food, you won’t likely see anyone again until they bring the bill. A lot of the time any requests you make seem to really bother the staff. If they could step up the service, it would be one of my favorite restaurants, hands down.“

“ate lunch today with my husband and it was amazing. love the tabletop grills and selection of food all very good and even got tips on cooking😁 we had a few different types of beef , pork belly, chicken, and shrimp. definitely do not walk away hungry!!!“

“Brave has the best prices and is really pretty good! Banchan was good and you can order other sides as well (all included). Service was good and overall I would recommend. I don’t believe you will find a better lunch deal.“
