Very understaffed, it took forever to get refills on drinks and to get more food

We came here as a group of three and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. While we were seated quickly and started with brisket, the first serving was very small. We ordered more, but the service was slow and inconsistent. It took about 14 minutes just to receive the sauces we had asked for multiple times, by which point our meat had already burned on the grill. The brisket itself was thinly sliced and cooked quickly, but it was frustrating not to be able to enjoy it properly without sauce.

Our server, Justin, did not provide attentive service. He took orders without checking if we needed anything else and left us waiting over 10 minutes for sides. We eventually had to ask another server, who was much more helpful and patient.

We originally planned to go to another Korean barbecue spot down the road — our usual go-to — but decided to give this new location a chance. Unfortunately, the experience here made us regret not sticking with the restaurant we trust.

When the bill arrived, it was about $100 for three people, but we were not given a receipt until after payment — and only then noticed a $13 service charge. Given the long waits, poor communication, and lack of attention to customer needs, the added service charge felt undeserved.

While the food itself was okay, the overall dining experience was disappointing. Better service and attentiveness would have made a big difference.

Dope spot not too pricing; good service. I come here anytime I'm celebrating and wants some kbbq. Definitely would recommend to all my friends, but they were the ones who showed me the spot !!!!

I walked in asking for food to go. They said I could only eat inside the restaurant. They also said that since I was by myself that I would need to sit at the bar, despite the restaurant being practically empty. I noted that there were many booths open. The host said that he knew that, but it was there policy, even if I had back issues. -10 stars

I’ve been coming here for more than 10 years. This is the only kbbq place my husband and I go to. The new changes are fantastic! Great staff, service and food. They added mix drinks on their menu and I cannot be anymore happier. 🥰 we usually go during the day time and it’s usually not busy compared to other kbbq places that I have gone in the past. This place has always been my go to place. I think this place has been undervalued. Hoping with the new changes or new management, they will get noticed more.

I’ve been going here for more than 7 years and not to long ago they switched the owners. Since then Ive never really had an issue aside from the smaller portions and the slow customer service. I recently went this weekend and I noticed that they added a service that was more than double the original(I usually go with a family of 4 and pay the service fee about $20-30, I payed $50!!!) I’ve also noticed that the sauces were water down and that the food tasted very bland. The major issue was the men’s restroom, I had my father use the men’s restroom and was informed that the toilet’s were leaking out water onto the floors, as a women I went to the women’s restroom to noticed large amounts of water were seeping out of the door men’s restroom!!! It truly disappoints me to know what has become of a long time favorite spot of mines.

Used to come here a lot with my family but with this new owner the food was not the same, especially the salad that we all loved was very plain to the taste. Meat was not tasty either! Service was okay.
Definitely won't be coming back! Also they staff somehow added a service charge to the bill a family of 4 was $173.34 with the service charge. We always tip when we eat out but to automatically add a service charge and still accept tip is unbelievable!

I’ve been going to this resturant for many years, and it was always great till the new owners took over. We used to come for every birthday and other ocassions. The server we had would forget us and not bring us our food. We had to reorder our food 5 times. It took over 40 minutes to recieve one plate of kimchi, we had to get it from a different server. The sauce was watered down. Our server ignored us when we tried to call them even when they looked directly at us. They tried to seat all 9 of us in a small corner table that could already hardly fit 6. They told my table we had to split up into 5 and 4, when it was originally 3 and 6. When we split up, they tried to charge us for 10 people because we moved to 5 and 4. We came here to celebrate my cousins birthday, and it was terrible experience. Never coming back again.
