Hello, we came as customers, but there is no manager and no control over the store at all. And I think the person who accepted us without waiting in line was rude. Next time, just go in. I'm disappointed.Tengan cuidado, en este lugar no se respeta la orden de llegada, es un desastre. Por ser Estados Unidos no quiere decir que sean educados y respeten.

The food isn't bad or great. The staff puts all the meats on a grill as soon as the meat arrives which makes us feel a hurry to finish the meats. Also they don't replace charcoals so you're out of luck if you want to slowly enjoy the meal.The seafood pancake was too thick and not crispy at all, although the flavor itself was good.

I learned a lot today dining with my Korean- American friend.We did not have the mackerel, but the other fish who's name may have started with an 'a'.Delicious! I look enjoyed the sweet potato glass noodles, which made our meal gluten free.Our server was wonderful and attentive.She gave us plenty of space to enjoy our meal and have conversation without interrupting.Vegetarian options: Veggie meals, sweet potato glass noodles.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free can be found but not specified.

Loved the rare charcoal grill experience. Ordered combo A which i thought was a good value for the price. They do most of the cooking for you. All the side dishes were good and the 3 different meats were tender and seasoned well, not too salty. One of the best chadol I've tasted!

Solid Korean spot with comforting soups and good banchan, in addition to BBQ options. It was my first time having short rib and dried cabbage soup and I really enjoyed it. I do wish there was more shortrib though as there was only 1 in my bowl :(

I was glad to see there wasn’t a bustling crowd to have to contend with when I went here to lunch with some girlfriends. Most us got the the dolsot bimbimbap which is pretty standard. There was only maybe three slices of thibklynsliced bulgolgi but a plethora of fresh veggies, an egg and plenty of rice with sese and oil and golchujang on the side. The rice didn’t get as crispy as I’d hoped for so maybe the stone bowl wasn’t as hot or I should have waited a bit longer to stir the goodness together. The banchan selection was decent and the server said she gave us more because there were 5 of us but she never came back to offer refills. Sad. We got a refill on the complimentary barley tea though!Bbq and non-bbq patrons sit on separate sides and although the smoke wafted a little over it was nice to be separated some.Good sized menu with something for everyone including their version of a bento box ( no tempura) which my friend enjoyed and had a generous amount of bulgolgi.My other friend had a cold soup noodle and even after eating for a long while it looked like she had hardly made a dent in her bowl! She seemed to enjoy it.

Ban was very dry and lacking in flavor. Tofu Soup also not very good. Maybe I'm spoiled having a lot of good Korean food in LA and Orange county as what I'm accustomed to.

Very authentic. The servers were kind. And the ambiance was original. They had separate side for bbq and Al crate. BBQ was grilled over charcoal

I really enjoy this place because they're one of the few Korean barbecue options where you cook your meat over charcoal.It's not an AYCE place but there are combo menus that are priced reasonably and you get a good amount of food. I like to get the combo for 2-3 people and swap out the chicken for an extra order of brisket. I like that they let me do that and hope they continue to let me do that. I also like that they give complimentary salad with the combo.I like the atmosphere here because it's lively. The wait here typically isn't too long either. Service is attentive.
