The service was terrible. They just abandon you at the table and leave you to try to get someone’s attention. The meat is cheap and full of gristle, much of it was completely inedible. The atmosphere sucks, banging Brittney spears music and similar brainless pop the whole time. Waste of time and money.
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.
It was so delicious & service is excellent
literally one of the best North County San Diego has to offer. I love Sonu. always outstanding service and outstanding meats.
I could eat here everyday if I could. Hands down best kbbq in the area. Their kimchi fried rice is AMAZING. Their bulgolgi is AMAZING. I would highly recommend! It gets crazy busy especially on weekends so I recommend you to add yourself on the waitlist over yelp while you’re at home or driving so by the time you get there, they call your name.
I had never been to an American Korean BBQ place before this, and only can compare it to ones in Japan but I thought the service was fast and friendly, meats were of good taste and quality and the place was generally clean.
$44.72 for a %10 (first timer discount) premium meal with a 5$ tip and 7$ surcharge.
Would go again but if I were to go for my first time I would elect for the cheaper package cause there is already so much to choose from.
I was told it gets super busy so the best time to go is right when they open from my experience.
A great local spot for AYCE Korean BBQ with high-quality, not frozen meats which makes all the difference. We especially loved the pork belly wrapped enoki mushrooms and the cucumber kimchi from the generous spread of sides.
Our server was fantastic (she had a flower in her hair wish I remembered her name!) and struck the perfect balance between attentive and chill. Drinks stayed full, grills stayed hot.
Bonus: it’s right next to 85°C Bakery, so you can grab a sweet treat on your way out. We’ll definitely be back.
The service here is great, unfortunately the quality of the meat isn't.

Do not host 1 person party, so you deserve one star
This place is EVERYTHING!!! I come here at least twice a week because the food is absolutely amazing, but it’s the people who make it unforgettable. A huge shoutout to New Year, Jocelyn, and Ichen what an incredible team! They are so organized, on top of everything, and their customer service is next level!
New Year is the sweetest and makes every visit feel so special with her energy and kindness. Jocelyn is just as fantastic always making sure everything is perfect and Ichen is a rockstar! Together, they create such a fun and welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back again and again.
I’ve brought my partner here, all my co-workers, and I’m even planning to celebrate my birthday here! The food is beyond delicious, and the vibes are unmatched. Seriously, everyone needs to come and experience this place. Thank you, New Year, Jocelyn, and Ichen—you bring so much joy to my life, and we LOVE you all so much!!!

I thought the price was reasonable when we sat down, but I see why. I am sorry but I do not recommend it at all. Meat quality is not good, the service was horrible, and nothing seems close to Korean BBQ.... wow
