Looooove this stop!! Definitely my favorite Ktown Korean BBQ. Meat is cooked over coal, which is rare, but makes a difference I think. Meat is great quality, service is awesome, free parking lot.

This is a must visit whenever I'm in town. Parking is tight and the neighborhood is crammed so be aware you need a little extra time.
The last of the charcoal grills. Amazing marinated meats and the staff here is super nice to me - the whitest man alive - and does the cooking but some guests manage their own grill.
It's expensive - dinner for two this weekend was $130 for two meats, a beer and a coke. Worth it.

The marination and juiciness of the pork and beef tasted so good. Full of side dishes and lettuce salad to eat. The tofu soup was on the salty side.

For the price the portions are not enough I ordered chicken, beef bulgogi, and galbi for 2 people. If I had a 3rd it would have not been enough. The meat options include banchan and rice but I received no rice and they never asked to refill our drinks when our drinks were cleary empty. Despite, all this the food was amazing and I would have ignored everything I mentioned but they had the audacity to chase us outside the restaurant just to demand a tip. Im sorry but its my first time eating here I am not going to tip just on that alone 👎 👎

The food was decent overall. The lady waitress, especially, was very kind and attentive — she even brought us extra tofu, which we appreciated.
However, the male staff member made us feel quite uncomfortable. He served undercooked pork ribs directly in front of me (I was there with my husband and children) and kept pushing pieces with hard, inedible skin and bone toward my plate.
Despite chewing several times, the meat was still undercooked and mushy — I had to spit it out multiple times.
That part of the experience really ruined the meal.
He acted like he was being helpful, but in reality, he was quite rude. He told me to portion out the food like a mom and even assigned me the role of serving everyone at the table. It may have sounded polite, but it was incredibly disrespectful. We went out of our way to visit this place, but we won’t be coming back. That said, the beef short ribs were delicious, and I truly appreciate the kindness of the other waitress

Delicious galbi (Korean BBQ)! The staff provides friendly service by grilling the meat for you, which makes the experience even better. However, since it’s cooked over charcoal, the smoke can leave a strong smell on your clothes.

I love a good galbi, and this place delivered. For any K-BBQ spot, the meat quality, marinade, and how it’s cooked all matter — and they nailed all three. I only tried their soot bull galbi ($52), but it was spot on. The marinade wasn’t overly sweet, the meat was super tender, and grilling it over charcoal gave it a deep, smoky flavor that really stood out.
The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure the meat was cooked just right. Sides were solid and came with unlimited refills, which I always appreciate. Parking is limited right next to the restaurant, and the only downside was the heavy charcoal smoke that lingers on you the whole day.
Overall, it’s one of the better values in K-town for quality galbi. Compared to other well-known spots that are just okay, this one actually lives up to the hype.

One of the K-town's OG I believe. I had the squid bbq. And they were really big for one person dining. I loved the marinate which was sweet and it balances with the smokey roast. Lovely meal set too with ample condiments and a huge bowl of salad. Also amazing service.

One of the best bbq places in ktown. Charcoal grill makes all the difference. Galbi, ribeye, tongue, squid, it's all delicious. Their naengmyeon is good too. Have their own parking lot so you don't have to circle the block looking, although it does fill up quick.

Went for late lunch midweek and were the only people there. Galbi was so tender and tasty. Loved all our banchan.

Everything about our experience here was amazing. we had a party of 3 at 2pm on a friday and there was only one other party there so it was very quiet and peaceful. the staff was super nice and they did everything for you including the grilling. the meat here was incredibly tender, but I have to say that the real star of the show was the sides, the kimchi was homemade and incredible, the fish cakes were super flavourful and the soups were steaming hot and delicious. 12/10 would recommend this restaurant.
