Came here on a Saturday night and waited around 5 minutes for two of us. Overall we had a great time. All you can eat for roughly $35 a person and you get to cook it yourself at the table. I have had Korean BBQ a few times but the service was outstanding; every single person around was available to answer questions about cooking the meat, changing the grill, menu questions (they have rules for ordering short ribs), etc. Everything is ordered via the QR code including the sides like rice and rice papers, which I actually like because it lets you see what you are ordering, and lays out the quantity you will receive. Some of the meats did come out in smaller portions but it was clearly shown on the ordering menu which we enjoyed as a two person party because then we could try different meats and not get a ton of the same thing. This place is great for first time KBBQ eaters because everyone is friendly and helpful. The owner was especially nice and hands on; he even helped us cook some of the meat we ordered himself. Him and his daughter have great taste in cars as well!

Very clean restaurant. Good service. They kept the delicious meats coming. Will return again soon.
Tasteless meats. Spicy pork belly and bulgogi were pasty.
Marinated Short ribs had zero flavor and no marinade.Fresh pork belly, and thin sliced brisket were tasteless.
Service was good but meats were subpar.

Still hungry....after all you can eat bbq. Entire group is still hungry. Price point pretty high. Kids over 4 years old charge is about $26.99.
Felt we were given very small portions of meats in each order. Meats shrinked significantly after table top cooking. Some of the items we ordered did not even provided and unavailable. We left the restaurant very hungry.
We felt this restaurant management is not very child friendly or family oriented. We tried to have kids walk to the restroom on their own to allow them to wash their hands, but the restaurant did not like that.
Petite waitress with long hair was nice enough to let us know that last order is coming up, so we made order quickly but due to some online order issues with slow internet inside the restaurants, we placed the last order at 10:42pm that was 2 minutes after the last order time, and the order was pretty simple like white rices, but we were told that we were 2 minutes late for last order, and they did not help us.
Store has online order system that is slow and somewhat dysfunctional. Wish there were human waitress helping us better. Amigos are wonderful and very helpful. Thank you!

The food is good, honestly the price isn't bad at all. It includes appetizers, snacks, and all sorts of Korean soups. The different varieties of meat served here are nice and easy to chew. The only unfortunate and bad thing about this place is that they advertise ice cream as being included in the meal as the dessert, but they are often sold out. They aren't really sold out, but rather the kitchen just doesn't wanna open up another tub of it. The flavor varies and the fried bananas that are often advertised as being included with the ice cream is non-existent. If this restaurant can fix that problem, then 5 stars all across the board.

My first experience here few months ago was absolutely outstanding.
This time the meat was horrible, chewy and full of fat. It was just an awful thing.
Service is excellent.
Afraid to try again!

They tried to charge us the three pieces of meat on the grill for 5.99 per pound which they did not do anything with the three complete plates of meat left on the other table. I talked to the “manager” and she said they did charge and we just didn’t see their bill. But we witnessed the whole process while we were waiting to be seated. The people there just paid and left, no one even mentioned about the leftovers or took the food to weigh! This was not about money but equality. We will definitely not going back to this place for their poor management, nor will our friends and family. But services from the amigos were very good.
The regular ayce menu is quite limited for the $35 per person cost and there just isn’t enough variety to justify the price. What stood out even more was the $26 charge for a young child, which feels steep considering how little kids typically eat. It would be great if they offered more reasonable pricing for children. All in all, the experience was okay, but the value just isn’t there, especially for families. Basic utensil like spoons weren’t provided at the table, and I had to ask for them. Some of our food orders were also missed, and we ended up waiting a long time for items that should have come out much sooner.
The food was amazing and endless
Really good flavors
