We got the Supreme Set A for three people a bit to much food for 3 but go figure it feeds 4-5 people. But overall food and sides were hella good kimchi sour level was great and meat well seasoned. The staff were very attentive and even cooked all the meat for us. Definitely gonna be coming back

Very understaffed , waited almost an hour while half of the tables are open

There were more than 8 tables open and two group waiting but they don’t have enough worker to clean tables.

The servers tried their best and food is great but this cheap management should be fired

Amazing Korean BBQ! Everything was super fresh and flavorful, and the staff was really friendly. One of the best spots in Oakland for sure.

This is a good, casual KBBQ experience for a group. Not the tastiest or the best bang for buck, but definitely serves as a good fix.

We had a reservation for five and a toddler on a Friday night and were seated pretty quickly. Parking spaces were tight in the lot but fortunately there was a lot of street parking a couple blocks away.

We ordered the supreme set A, a seafood pancake, corn cheese and bossom to share. Between us we shared a grill and had our designated cooks at the table (which is how we prefer it but some might prefer a place that cooks for you). The highlight was easily the galbi (as if often is) and we did wish that the bossom was a little less dry. The others were good (as expected) but nothing to write home about. The banchan was also very standard.

Service wise, the waiters were a little slow to take our order and to give refills (for water, lettuce, etc.). Though, the yogurt soju special for our friend’s birthday was a really nice touch.

Like most KBBQ places, it’s helpful to bring your own bags for your clothes as the hoods aren’t the strongest, and it can get loud, but again - it’s a fairly standard experience.

Just finished up my early bday dinner with my family, the food and service did not disappoint. The staff went above and beyond to even cutting our meat for us when it was done cooking. Thank you Don Blanc.

Where do i start…. There were three of us. The waiter came back with two menus- ok thats fine, we ended up just sharing one. We ordered garlic fries and a couple other items. We recieved our items besides the garlic fries… finished eating and waited for the fries to be brought out. They took so long i had to wave down another staff. They had forgotten the fries, no biggie… they brought the fries out after another long wait and when i say they were the most awful, old store bought fries i’ve eaten im not being dramatic. They seemed to have been reheaten in oil and brought to us. I was literally able to RING the oil out of the fries. Wish i would have gotten a video but at that point i was just ready to leave. Aside from that incident the service was awful all around. We asked the waiter for more napkins because we had items that were messy- she came back with three single napkins. I also asked her for more soy sauce since there was only one super small one for the three of us that we quickly went through…. She never brought any soy sauce back. She also brought three single gloves for us to eat the soy marinated crab we ordered….. we went for my little sisters birthday and it was not a good experience, unfortunately. We definitely wont be returning

This place has the best 90s pop playing, and the staff are friendly and generous (we got some complimentary tastings). The beef bbq, army stew, and kimchi fried rice were yummy. No matter what day or time their service is consistently good and they seem to enjoy their work :) Thanks for being my new favorite neighborhood spot!

KBBQ that specializes in pork. Not AYCE but some of the best and consistent pork belly I've had.

Excellent! excellent! excellent! I’m a big foodie so I travel around to find the best food spots with my best friend. The food, service and ambiance were top tier. Definitely my favorite Korean Bbq spot in the Bay Area. Chris was amazing. Chris the GM was cooking our food, bussin tables and making sure my drive from Sacramento was worth it. Setting a great example for his staff and working well as a team. Thank you Chris for providing an experience. All the other staff were very friendly. We will be back :)
