Ughhh you cannot go wrong here! My only regret was getting the original menu and not the deluxe! We ordered so much food! The service was great and our server explained whenever we had questioned about the cuts. It was pretty chilling inside when we walked in but as more people started showing up, the temperature regulated. I only wish that the inside was a bit bigger to accommodate more people because this place is so good!! The marinated hand cut beef was delicious! The Korean spicy handcuff beef wasn't too spicy but also very well seasoned! The miso pork belly was good and not cut thick (which I usually prefer) but this cut was marinated so well I didn't even mind it! The steamed egg was delicious and so was the seafood tofu stew that had a way of relaxing your shoulders after the first sip! The bonchon (sides) and dips were very impressive all well seasoned with great quality. The cucumber salad was so good I had to order more! The rice came out so so fresh still steaming and overall it was such a good meal! I want to try everything there! Next time I'll get the Deluxe!!

The steak and marinaded lamb is really good. Had a great dinner there. There was no line when I got there. They served free appetizer which are also good. Highly recommend to anyone who would like to have authentic Korean barbecue with charcoal.

Wow this place is good. It's also reasonably priced! This is the first KBBQ spot I've been to that uses charcoal and I'm a big fan.
The meats were all delicious. I would definitely come back.

The Fire Spot offers an exceptional dining experience that combines rich flavors with an inviting atmosphere. Upon entering, the warm, smoky aroma of grilling meat immediately draws you in, setting the stage for a culinary adventure. The menu boasts a diverse selection of premium cuts, from tender beef brisket to succulent pork belly, all perfectly marinated and ready to be grilled at your table. The attentive and friendly staff are always on hand to assist with grilling tips, ensuring each bite is cooked to perfection. One attention to detail I noticed is that they did not forget any dishes I ordered! Most of the KBBQ places I’ve been to often forget one or two dishes cuts to the table. Not here! The array of side dishes, from crisp kimchi to tasty cucumber, complements the meats beautifully, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The vibrant, lively ambiance, paired with the mouthwatering food, makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and delightful Korean barbecue experience!

Probably the best KBBQ I've been to. The real winner is the fact that it's charcoal grill which flavor is unmatched. I also really liked how the servers did not hover over the table and left us be to cook our meal. But they were very helpful when ordering the next rounds of meat. Will be going here again soon. My favorite meats were the black pepper finger meat and the lamb. Delicious.

5 stars because it is the best ayce kbbq in san diego. More expensive, but the quality is so much better.
Charcoal grill. Our new favorite KBBQ spot in San Diego. Meat quality is amazing, service is great, the sides are so flavorful and delicious.
The wait was about 2 hours on a Saturday night. The restaurant is very small and always packed so be prepared for that.
