The waitress literally robbed us.
I don't usually tip. I don't believe in the culture, but it was a special night and I was feeling generous. I put a $10 tip and my credit card was charged $30. I called my card company and cancelled the entire tip.
I was also purposely misled about the menu and ended up paying x2 the amount I expected.
Other than the literal robbery by my server, the entire experience was pleasant. The food and atmosphere was amazing and the staff were polite.
Korean BBQ is a definite experience for everyone to try, but I will never suggest this place. Being over charged for menu items and servers attempting to steal larger tips isn't something I would ever support.

The setting of this restaurant seem dead. Everytime I drove by, I thought the place was popping. The blue RGB lights was up for decoration to catch the outside attention of fine place. My experience here was alright. Meat quality was poor, corn cheese (no effort) just taste sweetened corn with melted cheese ontop, and cocktails were awful. Mango slushie cocktail was original flavored Soju with mango purée. The cocktail was watered down. Get a new bartender. It was no pitcher, it was brought into a stainless steel tall cup. The vibes of this restaurant was either quiet or the music playing loud. Service was not bad though the food experience here was poor. Come on now the brisket should've at least passed my standards but the bulgogi, brisket, pork neck wasn't even delicious. For the price, it's not worth it. Will not be coming back here. Deuces ✌?

Servings was more than sufficient and fairly good. However, I was disappointed to find the Kim Chi tasting bland - as in, it felt like they forgot to salt it. Otherwise, everything tasted fresh, the meats tender.

The food quality at the All-You-Can-Eat establishment was unsatisfactory; the calamari and chicken nuggets were undercooked, the kimchi lacked freshness, and the BBQ grill functioned poorly. Additionally, inadequate air conditioning made dining indoors uncomfortably warm, and the customer service was average. Despite selecting this venue based on favorable Google reviews, our experience proved to be highly disappointing.

A solid choice for Korean food. I love the lunch specials here. The Bi Bim Bop is always a great choice. The portions size are good, and I love most of the side dishes. They have really good kimchee!!

Came in for AYCE dinner after a hike around Mount Diablo on Friday. Surprised to see the place only moderately busy on a Friday night.
Overall the experience is exactly what I hoped for. Decent meat and plentiful ban chan. Definitely get the brisket, LA short rib, and pork belly! Could have done without the bugolgi, miso pork belly, and steak.
Service is fine. We spoke up when we needed more sides or water or another meat order and the servers were reasonably attenuating. Given the price, I wouldn’t mind coming back again.

My go-to Korean restaurant. I like their combo specials. Their bulgogi tastes like my mom’s bulgogi so I’m very biased to this place ha!

We've been here several times now and really enjoy how flavorful the food is. Even our young kids really like it. My favorite are pretty much anything that's spicy, the hot sauce they use is delicious. My daughter likes the brisket and pretty much fills up on that over a rice bowl.My only complaint is how expensive it is. So we only go on special occasions or when we have the extra money for it.Atmosphere is beautifully lit and we enjoy sitting at the booth seating.
Kid-friendliness: We bring our kids and they enjoy the food and helping on the grill.
