I wish they would hire someone who speaks English. The gentlemen/owners are really really nice guys. Meat portions are huge. And i got schooled on the way you can self serve on water refills. Just go to the fridge and grab your pitcher. I wasn't aware but luckily my friend knew that's how they do it. Learn something new everyday. I'd definitely come back.

This kbbq place was honestly the best in the area! Don't be intimidated to try this place because of the empty atmosphere. Just be aware that this place is owned by 2 super nice and friendly uncles, so service may be slow. However, they will be sure to give you the best service! They even offered to cook for us. The food was authentic and tasted very delicious. Quality of the meat was honestly great. Lunch prices are $20 and you honestly can't beat that price for a great kbbq!Definitely try this place!

It’s really a great little place to eat a good selection of KBBQ foods whilst also being affordable and local to the community.

Parking: While there are parking spots, it is shared slightly by the mote next door.

The hours are wrong. They seem to only open for tour busses, and otherwise close whenever it pleases them.Lunch or dinner, the doors are locked and a makeshift "closed" sign is on the door.

You might afraid from the empty atmosphere, but the foods are truly authentic in taste and provide friendly services. The price point for Korean barbecue is the most decent you can get based on quality and quantity in Fresno. Definitely a must visit if you are nearby!

I read a bad review prior to showing up, "husband gets BBQ and I get water," I think is the header. I laughed about it, and said it can't be that horrendous. Place is obviously hurting, could've been amazing at one time, or maybe never as the "grand opening" and "coming soon" sushi, which is half the menu, are still there. The food was fun, the experience pretty cool, but this probably isn't the best representative of it. The Service available was really nice, and you can see they put in a nice effort, but just a short staffed skeleton crew.

First time eating there and it was excellent. The food they brought was abundant and tasted so good. It was a great experience cooking it over the grill ourself and the staff was very friendly and accommodating bringing us different things to try.

We arrived just before 1pm and they opened up for us a lil early. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The food came out fantastic, sides were self serve bar so we didn't have to harass them for the excessive amount of fresh garlic we ended up eating.We had the bulgogi, kalbi, garlic pork, marinated chicken, massive shrimps and the brisket. Everything was delicious and we were stuffed to the gills. Excellent value, friendly and attentive service. They were coming by with perfect frequency to check up on us, we didn't feel neglect nor overwhelmed.The only critique we had was could be more generous with the napkins. They were happy to bring out more, but kbb is a bit messy so you'd expect more napkins to be standard. Over all a silly small thing to fuss over considering the delectable food and prompt service with a friendly smile. Happy new year

Hubby wanted to try this place because he’s a big fan of Korean bbq. I am not. But he told me they had sushi so I agreed to come. Pulled in and there was no cars in sight. The place honestly looked closed. We walk in and no one was there. The server took us to the back, and gave us our menus. Our only option was the all you can eat lunch bbq. I tried to order sushi and he said sorry they don’t have it. The whole back of the menu is sushi and still he said the lunch bbq was the only thing they were serving (it was 1:00 pm)I decided not to order anything. The whole place is dirty, even the menus were sticky and grimey. This place is not taken care of at all and I was honestly scared to eat here and get sick. If they don’t take care of the front of the restaurant that people see and eat at, what makes you think they are taking care of the back?! Or the kitchen!? I wouldn’t trust the food at all. Hubby ordered his bbq and ate and I stuck with just water. The only good part about this place is the server was very kind. There was a language barrier, but still stayed kind. Would not recommend. I don’t even do food reviews, but for the sake of preventing someone else from having this experience and leaving hungry, I had to write this.

Pork belly is on point. Perfect thickness and it tasted as it was already seasoned with some salt and pepper. Fire/burner power was strong, meaning you it doesn't take that long for the meats to get cooked. All the side dishes are really good. Their cabbage kimchi was well fermented, which is perfect if you are going to fry it with oil from the meat (cabbage will turn more yellow in color as it gets fried, and it will have a whole different flavor). I would also recommend bibimbop, which comes out in a stone bowel (keep the food hot for a longer period of time). When it comes out, you put some sesame oil before mixing it to allow some of the rice at the bottom to get crispy. I would wait about 30 secs prior to mixing it. My experience was good, and I would recommend this place.
