Everything here is good. I do wish they would add fish cakes but other wise amazing and they cook for you which is always great for pork dishes. Not everything is poor don’t let the name deceive you . The Korean barbecue I now take everyone from out of town. It used to be Parks, but this place is so much better, especially pricewise. You can easily get out of there at $50 per person tax and tip.

My second time coming here and both experiences great. We got the pork gyu combo and not only is it delicious, it’s so worth the cost and service is on point. Will definitely be coming back!

This was hands down the most horrifying and unsafe dining experience I have ever had in my life. We were left completely ignored for 10–15 minutes before we finally had to flag someone down. When a server eventually showed up, they were obviously drunk—slurring, stumbling, and actually sat down at our table. Things went from bad to dangerous when they spilled alcohol directly onto the grill, causing it to splatter onto us. On top of that, this same server put their hands on my friend in a completely inappropriate way.
The other employees just stood by and allowed this to happen. When I asked for the manager’s contact information, another server flat-out refused. As we tried to leave, the nightmare escalated—several staff members followed us out to the parking lot. Two of them physically attacked our car, punching and kicking it hard enough to leave dents.
This wasn’t just bad service—it was harassment, assault, and intimidation. I have never felt so unsafe at a restaurant. For your own well-being, stay far away from this place

This was one of the worst and most unsafe dining experiences I’ve ever had. We waited 10–15 minutes with no service until we had to call someone over. A server who was clearly intoxicated sat down at our table, spilled alcohol on the grill (splattering onto us), and even touched my friend inappropriately. The other staff did nothing to stop it.
When I asked for the manager’s contact, a server refused. As we left, multiple staff members followed us to our car. Two of them hit and kick our vehicle, leaving dents.
This is not just bad service it’s harassment and assault. For your own safety, avoid this place entirely.

Never coming back! Came here expecting to just have a nice meal but we ordered and it was going fine for the first five minutes, then a worker named either damon or damian comes by and just sits with us, he makes us uncomfortable and he is drunk. he was drinking at other tables and this other guy comes around and he’s also drunk. the first guy also touches our friend inappropriately. someone would take him away from our table but he just kept coming back and we complain to the other employees and they just don’t care. they finally took him away and we got the check but we are not happy. we ask for them to at least apologize and we ask for the manager. the guy who touched my friend claims he’s the manager and no one wants to give us the managers contact info. we then are about to leave and they record us following us into the valet. we start yelling at each other and then as we are leaving both of the drunk workers kick and punch our rental car as we are trying to drive off, our car is dented really bad. Please don’t come here!!! super unprofessional terrible service. it is not normal for a server to come by drunk and sit at our table making us uncomfortable and sexually harassing our friend.

Had a lovely lunch. Karina was the best server! I would just come back for her to serve me again. She really was so sweet. Our whole table loved her energy and her kindness to cook the meat for us. The food was amazing. A must come back. The meat quality was the best.

The tables are smaller than a girl’s jeans’ pockets but their meat quality and variety at this price point is solid. Four of us split a pork gyu set for around $34 per person after tax and tip. There is so much banchan variety — kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumber were all so good! The kimchi is slightly sour and slightly sweet, and the cucumber leans sweet. There was also radish, kelp (?), salad, and japchae and maybe something else that I don’t remember anymore. The meat quality is solid but I’m not really a meat connoisseur.
We left with our bellies and hearts full! They cook for you and they were very patient with us asking what every single cut of meat was…

Unironically the best KBBQ I’ve had in my life. I’ve lived in LA for 18 years, and eaten a lot of KBBQ between Korea town and trips to Seoul. The quality of everything from the meat itself to the banchan was exceptional, and the process is a well oiled machine. Everything is cooked well and at an appropriate speed, service was fast, and nothing disappoints. Each time something new was brought out I found myself wondering if the experience could get any better, and each time it somehow did. 10/10 recommend, I will definitely be coming back here!
