This place is amazing. Plus the food is good, making korean BBQ on the grill is nice. Plus, There's a small buffet where you can get a few food like Macaroni salad and mash potatoes, including a fries. This place is amazing, how I remeber going here, visiting multiple times when my folks visiting Koreatown. Plus, If you are trying to find a good Korean BBQ place to eat in Koreatown or in central LA, this is the place to eat, it's nice and more affordable and having wide range of food options and great dinning experience.

This place has a side bar with kimchi, jap chae, rice, bean cake, bean sprouts, etc. For the price, you get what you paid for. It's filling with all you can eat. It gets smoky, so be prepared to smell like bbq.

Experience and food is mid. Quality is noticeably poor, but is expected for the price. The bulgogi seasoning is a little too sweet and the brisket grainy. At the end of the day I wouldn’t come back but not stopping anyone to try it.

I had diarrhea and stomach issues after eating here. I think it's the buffet area not being at the proper temperature or being old food. The meat was good quality for what it was. You get what you pay for :(

I came here on a weekend for lunch. They had a special because it was their anniversary. AYCE was ~$24 per person plus 15% tip automatically added to the bill. The disclaimer is on the table menu.

I loved their banchan bar. They had so many sides were self-serve...veggies egg rolls, french fries, Korean pancake and tofu skins, bean sprouts, bean paste, corn, potato salad, macaroni salad, pickled radish, kimchi, and more.
For the meats, I mainly got the black angus beef brisket and thin sliced pork belly. The spicy pork bulgogi and soybean paste soup were ok.

If you like watching kpop music videos, they have a tv playing them.

The customer service was great. It was busy, and the staff were always on top of things.

There was plenty of free parking in the parking structure under the building (it can be hard to see going in and out). They also have additional parking across the street a few 100 yards down; you can't miss the sign.

Bad customer service, including by the owner. Food is mid. Just go somewhere else. There are plenty of better options nearby

Old school place for AYCE Korean BBQ. Self service banchan bar, solid selection of meat you order off the menu. Service was excellent and they have underground parking.

Competition in the area is tough tho, and while most of the meats were good, for galbi we've had better at their competitors.

this place is great. Idk why anyone is complaining. Why are you ordering takeout kbbq? Come as a group, sit down, and have a good time for a reasonable price

Amazing Korean BBQ, great food, great service, large selection of side dishes and very family friend. I highly recommend for birthday, celebrations, or just a night to go out to eat.

Second time coming here and it’ll be hard to beat this place for the value proposition (quality for the price). Will be coming back regularly when I can, as it’s something you can eat often for the price. Love the marinated beef rib and brisket as far as meats go, served with rice paper
