Enjoyed our dinner here. I made a reservation for a Saturday night party of 6. Everyone was attentive and prompt. All the meat items we ordered were great portions and were very good. We really enjoyed our first time here.

This korean bbq joint has the best value of all of them in the Elk Grove / Sacramento area. The choices for lunch are outstanding. For me, the lunch menu has all the items I like anyway. For $28, it's an awesome meal that will keep you full throughout the whole day. The LA Galbi is usually an item that the other Korean spots serve in the more expensive menu. I recommend getting the half order so you can try a variety of dishes to see what you really like. The thin marinated meats are also good because it absorbs the marinade better and cooks faster. The soups offered provide rich flavor and spices. I definitely recommend them. The corn cheese takes a longer time to cook, but worth the wait if corn and cheese is your thing. The ambiance suited the place very nicely with the modern looking neon lights along with the bar accompanying the nice meal. The smoke extractor lids do a great job not allowing the smoke to get away and bother people. The service is probably the best thing about the place. They present the table of very nicely with nice selection of side dishes. The servers constantly check to see if you need anything. And it seems like the grills get changed every round which makes a big difference to prevent food from being over charred. I have been to other places where the grill is rarely changed and the server consciously ignores you. At Ember, the servers dont do that. Calvin is a server who deserves special recognition because of what he does to ensure that our meal is going well. To sum it up, the value and the selection of food during lunch time makes this place better than any in the area. The service is the cherry on top.

One of the best kbbq place i go to.

Clean place.

But what is rare is that their meat just looked good, better than other places. Also they were the fattier cuts, so they were flavorful, and naturally didn't stick. Good portion too.

Steaks at kbbq were usually meh, but the steaks at this place were actually very decent.

I will definitely come back again

Came for lunch today after a 5k race and everything was scrumptious! My favorite dish was the bulgogi chicken, but everything was amazing, even the small plates they setup before you arrive to your table.
Our server was very attentive and kind. Usually Korean BBQ places I go to have poor airflow and can be smoky, but that’s not the case here. Also, the bathroom was so clean!
Will definitely be going again!

Great service and friendly staff. The meat was good quality with a nice selection of both meat and seafood. They also have a good variety of alcoholic drinks — I tried the lemon drop and really enjoyed it. Prices are reasonable, and overall it was a fun Korean BBQ experience.
