“This is the BEST Korean BBQ I have ever had!! We love Korean BBQ, and go often. We have been to several in different states. Every thing they brought to our table was super delicious. The waiters and waitresses were so nice, friendly, and attentive! I have food allergies, and they quickly suggested options for me. Everything was clean. You’ll be sorry if you pass this place up. I definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Incredibly delicious and great for first timers! 🩷

Pros:
- Fast, friendly service
- Large selection of meats, sauces, and sides
- Lowkey, casual atmosphere

Cons:
- Very loud (that is a disadvantage at most K-bbq places because of the fans over the grills)
- They automatically add gratuity, so no matter how you feel that’s what you’re paying. For a family of 6 we paid $244

We are visiting from Phoenix and originally were trying to go to Gaja across the street, but they had a wait for 1 hour. Since we really wanted to try Korean bbq while we were here we decided to go to KM.

As soon as we entered we were greeted and seated which was great because we were a party of 6. They quickly got utensils, plates, cups, and water out and started up the grills. There was a wide variety of sauces, meats, and side dishes. The meats were really good quality and the marinades (bulgogi, spicy, and teriyaki) were really good. They even had dessert! There were sesame balls, Chinese sugar donuts, and thrifty’s ice cream.

Our drinks were always filled and dirty plates were whisked away quickly. They even replaced our grill tops when they got too dirty!

I appreciated the lowkey atmosphere after a day at the beach. Gaja had more of a “you gotta dress up for this one” type of vibe which we definitely were not fitting 😅 We also loved the kpop music videos playing on the tvs! I wish we lived here so we could go to this location more 😭“

We ordered miso soup, spider roll, lemon roll, and the Gloria-everything was perfect. Each roll is really thought out and tastes amazing. Quality is above the rest. Prices are great. Sushi chef knows what he is doing for sure. Our server was super knowledgeable about the rolls and was attentive. Can’t wait to come back and try more items. Thank you for a great meal, Waraii.“

“My brother, husband, and I have been coming here for years. This is our local spot for sushi, and we will be lifelong customers for sure! We love their happy hour specials (from 3:30-5:30). When we can't decide what to eat, we get the lunch bento box combo and it hits the spot every time! I think I've tried every non-spicy roll on their menu. If you're down to get something that tastes as fantastic as it looks, go for the Cucumber Special Roll. It won't disappoint!“
