Great food! They got us in quickly, good service. Great place for a dinner date. Wished they allowed take out for left over food.

We had a great time here and, yes, partly because of the easy parking and relative absence of Convoy foodie hipsters but mostly because of the good space at the table, good service, and good food. Sauces could be a bit more varied but overall a super option.

KBBQ is a fun, flavorful experience—grilling your own meat right at the table. The marinated cuts are flavorful, the banchan sides are fresh, and it’s perfect for small or large groups. Come hungry, leave full.
Not to mention unique sides like French fries and tortillas !

The lunch time ayce bbq is pretty good. 26 for the quality is pretty decent. If someone wants to get cheap kbbq, I would probably go here.

One of the last few kbbq spots my friends and I haven't been to in the area yet, and we regret not visiting earlier. Standard prices you'll see anywhere, parking was a little annoying since it's next to a motel, but you can take your chances on the street or the plaza further down the road.

The meat is very average, but good in that regard! I haven't been to a kbbq place where the meat quality was poor (yet, and hopefully ever!). Their standouts would have to be the corn cheese (they make it Tangier than other places do), and table service was very active (they came by frequently to check if we wanted more meats/sides).

My only real complaint would be their serving portions of macaroni salad (asked for it twice, both times were a small spoonful), and the nonavailability of potato salad. I need my mash! But I digress - the place is still excellent and the wait wasn't crazy either (got our table for 4 in about 20 minutes on a Saturday evening). Definitely going to come here again!

The worst ribeye and Galbi(rib) we’ve ever had. My family had one bite, and paid what we ate and walked out of the restaurant. Our family will never go back to Buga ever again.

Good food. But they don't have that much food selection and it is quite pricey too.

I have never seen a kbbq next to a motel 6 before ??you choose packages for all you can eat so choices are very limited but sides are unlimited. There wasn't enough sauces and meat was kind of bland. The food comes out so fast and staff is very attentive. Staff comes every couple minutes. I'm a travel foodie and this is the best service I've ever had in a very long time.
