I ordered the Chicken Noodle Soup. It was alright, and the portions were good.

Coming back at least once a month. A gem in Oakland. Get the bbq table with a group of friends. Fun atmosphere and they are open late 11pm. Service was on point.

I've been coming here for over 10 years. It's my favorite Korean restaurant. The banchan is always fresh and delicious, plus they give you lots of them. There are a good amount of additional items you can get with all you can eat, we usually get the kimchi pancake, corn cheese (sounds weird but it's good) and maybe the pan fried dumplings. My favorite are the boneless marinated short ribs and bulgogi and my friend likes the brisket. The meat is good quality and you can tell they make everything in house. Yeah, it's not super cheap but it's the same price as other similar places or hot pot.For delivery I usually get the rice cake and dumpling soup. It's so good! And makes me feel better if I'm getting sick. You still get banchan and rice with delivery, so if you think about it with all the delicious side dishes included it's a pretty good deal.I still see the same owners as when I first started going here, I'm glad it's still in the same hands. It's consistently good. The one thing I'm not as fond of is the fried chicken.. it's not crispy.Service is good, sometimes they forget something.. but it's not a big deal, just remind them or ask again. It's pretty busy sometimes so it's impressive they remember all the different things people ask for refills for...Parking isn't great, but I always find a spot within a couple blocks. People mention the area is dicey at night. It's not that bad. Not as good as ten years ago, but just don't leave stuff in your car (like the rest of Oakland) and you'll be fine.

Food was surpar, now that we got that out of the way, let's focus on service. If you want to feel like the wait staff, come here. If you want to organize your table, come here. If you want to hone in your skills on towers of plates, come here. After all that, 18% tips. Go elsewhere if you have options, you've been warned.

Unfortunately, not my spot. The service is incredibly slow, requiring multiple calls for even basic requests. Numerous mix-ups with orders were frustrating. The food quality is mediocre, with only the short rib standing out positively. The pork belly and steak were disappointing. There are better and more affordable options available, and the limited menu adds to the drawbacks.

found this place last night and I give it a 10/10!!!!! Super delicious food, very good and FAST service and the overall atmosphere is just incredible. It’s also so nice that it close a little later than other kbbq spots and the price for the All You Can Eat buffet was so affordable!!!!! Will always come back here from now

Everything here was really tasty. Though I would personally only get marinated dishes for meat as they were the best. Changed our grill multiple times. Very tasty food. Cheap cocktails. They even stored my Dad's walker since they were slow. Staff V

Haven’t had a lot of Korean food but we liked this place. Really enjoyed the appetizers they bring you when you first get there. we ordered all vegetarian food. The clay pot dishes come to you boiling hot so you really need to make sure you can hang out for a while before you start eating so you don’t burn your mouth off. Very friendly staff. Good service. Will be back.
