This used to be my favorite place but it completely went downhill. They completely changed their menu and the quality of the meat. They don’t even have the ingredients for their dipping sauces anymore. The meat was so bland that we didn’t reorder anything. I asked for salt, different other sauces (because the meat had no flavor), and refills on the sides—some of it never even came. The best part about this place used to be the sauces, and now they don’t have those either. They no longer have the unlimited bone marrow but blue you have to pay $5 for each one. It was the only thing that still tastes good. As for everything else I ate, I've been feeling so nauseated and keep having to go to the bathroom. Feels like such a waste of money. 😣 really disappointing 💔

First time here, though I’m no stranger to Korean BBQ. I went with the Signature Set since I can go down on brisket all day and didn’t need any of the fancier options. I also liked that they offer a good variety of appetizers, but the Beef Bone Soup was unfortunately very bland.

Once the meats started arriving, I went straight for the brisket — my usual favorite — and immediately noticed it lacked marbling. Without the fat, the meat stuck to the grill and ended up tasting almost inedible on its own because there was absolutely no flavor. Thankfully, the sauces and seasonings on the side helped salvage it. I had to drench mine in ponzu, garlic, and jalapeño just to make it enjoyable.

The other meats were better, but most still needed to be heavily dressed since they didn’t have much flavor or fat to stand on their own.

On the positive side, service was fast and pleasant. Our server was attentive and kept us updated if anything took longer, and the robot servers were a fun touch that added some entertainment to the meal.

I will say the booth seating needs improvement. The seats were uncomfortable and placed too far from the table, so I constantly had to readjust just to reach everything comfortably. The fixed ordering tablet mounted on the wall was also inconvenient — the viewing angle wasn’t ideal for the whole party and made ordering a bit awkward.

Overall, while the service was solid, the food and seating experience fell short for me.

Great food and quick service. There was wait for 15 mins on weekend. I love the quality of meat. The bone marrow and the guava soju were amazing. Great vibe. They had a free ice cream candy as well.

Door was open said they close at 11 but their kitchen staff decided to go home at 10. Wish my job let me go home an hour early when I didn’t feel like working… what a bunch of studs.

The food was great, ambiance was very nice as well as the service . James K was a phenomenal server and even cooked our food for us when he didn’t have to, he explained the menu clearly especially since it was our first time there and gave a brief description of the meats we were eating. 10/10 highly recommend and will be back again!

Solid spot for BBQ! The meat quality is really good — everything came out fresh and nicely seasoned. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the great service and overall experience make it worth it. Even on a weekend dinner rush, the wait time wasn’t bad at all.

Unfortunately, first one star meal in a long time.

Two of us ate here around 8:30PM.

We ordered:
2 premium set $59/ea
yogurt soju $16
hazy ipa $7.50

The few highlights:
-has rice paper
-woodae galbi was decent
-nicer ambiance? has TVs for sports games

List of lowlights:
-brisket is inedible, worst brisket I've had...no fat content to it. Dry piece of meat, essentially leather like
-oily floors, everyone is slipping and sliding
-bone marrow (one per group) not very good either
-could only order one woodae galbi at a time...so you had to wave down staff each time..makes sense to limit eating time for the pricier item on a business aspect, but super annoying and not communicated obviously
-forgotten items, had to ask multiple times

Unfortunately, missing on a premium set for brisket is a huge red flag. Ordered multiple and checked with staff to make sure this was the two briskets offered.

Won't be back.
