Terrible service! They sit you down, take your order once. Let the heat plate BURN smoke for 20 min then come and ask you if you’re done. They did this 3 times. Worst Korea bbq experience in Ktown.

It's been a while since I searched for a restaurant in LA's Koreatown area on Google and saw that it had a relatively high rating, so I went there, but I came away with the feeling that the rating was higher than I expected. The quality of the meat was not good, and the meal for 3 people cost about $230 including tip, which I felt was a waste. The person I went with went to the bathroom in the second half of the meal, and I also went to the bathroom with a stomachache (this may vary from person to person, so please keep this in mind).I will come to LA often from now on, but this is a place I won't go back to.Vegetarian options: NoneKid-friendliness: Overall it doesn't feel clean

Hands down by favorite KBBQ place in LA and I've been to a ton. Been here probably 20 times now. Never a wait, fast service, TVs with sports on, all you can eat, high quality beef, great price, accommodating staff. I've had good experiences with the $2 valet parking as well. Absolutely love this place!

Ok i have been coming to this spot for the last 3 years and quite honestly ever since road to seaul took over stonegrill, things really changed from staffing to service. I tried it for the first time and somehow it left with some sour experience in the servicd cause i felt like staff were more focus for you you to eat more meat than to enjoy the experience and environment which it was different when it was stonegrill, because staff members werent just our servers, they became friends and made us feel welcome and most likely will always remember recurrent customers. I tried again this place under the new company, thing kind a improved a bit but still missing that outgoing essence from previous staff members.

Not big on all you can eat spots, but decided to come here with my parents and husband since we were in the area. We decided to go with Option C at $55.99 per person. We were more focused on the green items, but mainly the beef short rib and bottom sirloin. As for seafood, we ordered squid and baby octopus. Not many all you can eat spots have those options, so we definitely had to order those items. We also ordered brisket, since it's easy and fast to cook. The salad was decent, and the steamed egg was okay. There were only 6 choices of banchan: plain potato salad, bean sprouts, kimchi, plain japchae, and kimchi radish. I'm a big potato salad fan, so I was sad to see that it didn't have anything in it, nor the japchae either. They also provide rice paper. Out of all the meats, I think we preferred the short rib, bottom sirloin, squid, and octopus. The service was a little hit or miss. It started off rocky in the beginning, then picked up later on. On the plus side, it's next to a "It's Boba Time" shop, so if you're feeling boba for dessert, you won't have to travel for it. Unless you find parking in the residentail neighborhood, there is valet parking at $3. This trips me out because it's such a small lot. My dad ended up having to drive his own car out the lot. It's pretty spacious inside though, so they can do parties up to 2- 14 people. They also do have a bit of a wait time, since the place seems to be popular. I like that they also had TVs up, so my dad could keep up with all the sports games being played.

We came with a party of about 10 and it was pretty empty when we walked in They were really nice but after a while as it got busy they definitely checked on us less and less and it often took a while to get things and they would forget multiple times. The brisket was probably the worst brisket I've ever had. It was so fatty with no flavor. I expected more as this road to Seoul was rated higher than the other location but I actually prefer the western location

Great AYCE place on Vermont and 7th St. The starting price is very affordable for the location. Meat quality was good. Servers came to help grilling sometimes. The inside was a bit dark I’d say. Overall, a decent place for KBBQ.

Good Food and Fast service. There are a lot of All you can eat Korean bbq options in koreatown and this one is pretty decent. Their portions are big and their AYCE is reasonably priced. You can order 3 meats at once and what I like about this place is you don’t have to chase the servers, They do check in on you once in a while and ask you if you want more meat. They are also quick to change the grill. We came here on a friday night and there was no wait. We got seated in less than 5 mins. The only downside is the valet parking but other than that, I would definitely recommend this place.

No wait at this place during busy dinner time, which is amazing. The kimchi here is the best I have ever had. The salad and mashed potatoes are also delicious. Good variety of side dishes. The meat is great quality and service is exceptional. Variety for the options are great, although we only got brisket and galbi (boneless). I’m not a fan of the valet parking bc I don’t like other people driving my car, but it’s K-Town so it’s expected. Next time I’ll try parking on the street nearby and walking over.
