Met a friend here for lunch before heading to a movie nearby. It was lunchtime on a Saturday and we were the only ones in there the whole time. My friend got the beef bibimbap and I had the pork belly. The banchan arrived minutes before our food. It was 7 mini dishes of yummy goodness - pickled items, spicy things, greens, and some japchae/noodles. My pork belly came out in a sizzling plate. I thought it came with some rice. Before I could ask, the waitress came back with my bowl of rice and apologized. It wasn't your typical white rice. It was darker in hue - but not brown or purple rice, as I was used to. The pork belly was good. Sliced thinly and into one inch pieces so I could pop them in my mouth very easily. I would get it again. We were checked on a couple times after the food came. I hope this place stays in business.

Ramen was okay. The Seafood Ramen was mixed with soup for take-out.

Foods good and soju cocktail was good. Service was responsive, shrimp was plump, galbi was tender and not over sauced, and brisket was good.

Well I came for lunch we did not start off on a good foot one waiter table of 5 . And 2 tables of 1, when I arrived the waiter sat me and about 3 min later a man comes in he is seated the waiter goes to take his order first?! He looked at me as I said " Really" this already annoyed me! I only have an hour for lunch I got here at 12:03 pm it is 12:21 still no food ? Waiter appears to be flustered as table of 5 have several different plates and it looks like a lot of DoorDash/Uber eats orders he can not keep up ?! Drivers are coming in and asking about their orders other guy was served first? Even though I was here first? 12:25 pm still no food... food finally came it is very good but service sucks

The worst experience I've every had with Korean Bbq or restaurants in a long time. I tried to say it was a fluke, and gave them a second chance. It was even worse. Took 45 mins to get our drinks, which they were out of stock of everything, including beer (what the actual...) then when we did get our food it was subpar and bland, even tasted prefrozen.I love KKB but this isn't it. Skip this place and go elsewhere.

Came here for lunch and it was empty. Not sure if this is normal since this was my first time coming here. We ordered a couple of things from the lunch menu. I felt the meat was ok, but the sides were all bland. I would not recommend. Glad I gave it a try.

This place got good quality meat. This place is more traditional Korean BBQ like what you expect when you go to Korea. Service is great, fast, and friendly. This is my 11th time coming here and haven't experienced anything negative about this restaurant. 100% will recommend eating here.

This place was amazing!!! The food was great and the service was incredible! The nice old lady helped us cook most of our kbbq. It was not too crowded either. Definitely will be coming back here!

A friend recommended this restaurant. This was my first time coming here on a Saturday night. My friend and I were seated right away. It wasn't busy at all at 7:20pm. I ordered the dumpling ricecake soup and chicken bulgogi. The chicken was just ok. The soup didn't have much flavor. The amount of chicken you get isn't worth $19. My friend ordered the stonepot bimbimbap and said it was just ok. We didn't receive any type of service after receiving our food. Not even an automatic refill on our tea. We asked for separate checks and an older lady said that was not possible. I will not be returning to this restaurant.Parking: Plenty of parking in the Food Maxx shopping center

I'm Korean and this is not actual Korean style bbq. They don't have lettuce, jalapeno(gochu), ssamjang(sauce), and meat tastes bad. Soup tasted like water. Especially Bulgogi.. I can make even better then that. It's expensive and low quality. Service was slow. Aovid.

Every thing looks so cheap here. The cups, the chopsticks, the plates, etc all make this place look like a cheap fast food truck. But the price is $$$. And the dishes are definitely not authentic Korean flavor. I knew it even before tasting when I saw the broccolis in the bibimbap and dates in the tofu soup.

We came for lunch on Sunday. The place was pretty empty and quiet. Ended up getting the all you can eat, which was a little bit pricier than some of the other KBBQ places. Ambience was nicer (no K-pop blaring in the background).

A nice KBBQ place tucked away in a cozy corner on Mowry. AYCE meats were fresh and brought out quickly. Server was very friendly and attentive.
