Perfect hot pot spot! Always have an amazing time!Vegetarian options: Just don’t order the meat and you should be good! The tofu is amazing! I also like the corn cheese and they do also offer veggie dumplings I think!

Restaurant is okay, food was decent. Staff is friendly, but service was extremely slow. We were the only customers at that time (along with a couple takeout orders) and waited pretty long before getting taken to our table and was not greeted at the door. Got the all you could eat hotpot, but not really sure if it’s really all you could eat, as staff never checked up on us, and we weren’t really sure how to order more as staff pretty much stayed up front the entire time. We just ended up eating one round and left. Atmosphere is nice, although parking is hard as there’s no parking in front of the restaurant or designated parking lot for this restaurant.

I was expecting this place to be better based off the reviews but it was just ok imo. The service was really slow but the meat quality was good. There wasn't that many hotpot options even with the premium menu. The blue crab was nice but they didn't have any fishballs with roe. The veggies are also limited, however, I do like that there is a self serve veggies and sauce station. The bbq meats were cooked to order which was really nice but most of the items were flavorless or just didn't have that much flavor.

Thank you for such a special Birthday dinner. This is our new Favorite place!

I have been here 2 times now. Once for lunch and dinner, both doing AYCE. Today we made a reservation to celebrate my sisters birthday. We all loved the food, enjoyed the variety, and left very satisfied. Our server was great. It was one gentlemen working the whole restaurant along with a bus boy. I asked everyone in our party, and they would all come back. Favorite Items:My niece loved the corn cheese, the soy garlic Korean friend chicken (it was actually the favorite of most of the table) and quail eggs. My mom loved the mussels and the spicy miso broth mixed with traditional. My sister enjoyed the variety of veggies, lobster & fish ballsMy brother enjoyed all the meats and KFCMy favorite item to put in the pot is fish tofuThere is something for everyone here. You won't leave disappointed. One thing that I would tell you to keep in mind. Parties of 5 or more will get charged a service fee, which is the tip. On top of tax, the bill becomes quite expensive. We did the premium AYCE, and ordered a bottle of Soju. The bill total came to be $225, including tax and tip the bill was $300. Which comes out to $50/person. When I came for lunch with a friend. We ordered a grilled dish, soju and makgeoli. I believe we each paid $60 tip. The service was great. Food was great. &we all left satisfied. The whole experience was worth the price. I would definitely come again and highly recommend this restaurant.

Went to this joint to get some hot pot. Got that and more with the AYCE deal. BBQ was on point and their seafood pancake was bomb.

One of my new favorite places for AYCE Hot Pot and KBBQ in Oakland. I've been wanting a hot pot spot for a long time now, but even better that you can upgrade for wagyu and also can order KBBQ if your heart desires! The last few times I came by there was no wait, you just sit down and pick your broth. You get a choice of two so we do one original and one spicy. There's a buffet section to make your own sauce and grab your veggies. We always get the wagyu chuck roll because it's so tender. Meats are thinly sliced and quick to cook. I've also had the KBBQ a few times and it's delicious. The Kalbi short rib and the rib eye jalapeño and garlic were tasty! For side dishes, the corn cheese is a must have and one of my favs. Japchae is also delicious! Ambiance is like a Korean style bar/restaurant but they have little booths for more privacy. Kinda dark inside but it's a cool vibe. Service is excellent! Their staff is friendly and they'll come by and check on you often and if you need more food.
I love coming here. The service, food, and ambiance are all great, and it's an enjoyable experience every time. We always do the AYCE option. This includes meats, broth, and a few veggie options, some appetizers like corn cheese or scallion pancakes, and a few KBBQ options. All the meat has been fresh and tasty, and they offer a small assortment of veggies to complement. They have a sauce bar in the back, so you can help yourself to whatever you'd like. I prefer this setup to having to ask waiters for help, and it usually helps to stand up for a second between rounds! There are also a couple extra items you can grab, like mushrooms, spinach, or kimchi (speaking of which, their kimchi is super tasty and you need to try it). It's a little cold inside, but that isn't a problem once you start eating and the steam hovers around the table.

Service was amazing and attentive! Food came out pretty fast! We decided to do a la carte and ordered budae jjigae (9/10), rose tteokboki (10/10) and chicken wings (hot&spicy 8/10 and soy garlic 9/10). It was all super flavorful and I would come again to order it and try other items! The portions were also huge. The jjigae was packed with ingredients and the soup was amazing! The tteokbokki was cooked to perfection, it was definitely a tad bit spicy but I like it! I was surprised in how big it was even for a regular size and loved how it came with sausage, fish cake and egg! Forgot to add the cheese which I think would pair really well with it. The wings were packed with flavors too and super juicy! I really like the soy garlic as the garlic taste was strong

This place was a bit of a miss, kind of on the mediocre side. This place is one where we used up the veggies for sure but the corn cheese was a bit sweet like as if they topped it with sugar. The other food we kind of felt like we"d rather leave it than finish it. The banchan was ok enough that we got refills on a few of them too.The one item I really enjoyed that I can't get at many restaurants like this was their noodles that were wide and chewy like sweet potato noodles. Service wasn't really existent, went on a weeknight so maybe that was part of it. It was pretty empty except for 1 or 2 other tables so pretty quiet night, no need for a wait.
Bibimpap was quite good! Thank you!
