First time at here and it was amazing!
So I am unfamiliar with Korean bbq,
It's all you can eat in a 90 minute allotted time. You order from your phone and they bring you out your items and you cook it right at your table.
Service was great and quick. We went on a Saturday night so the place was packed and loud, only downside for me. Would recommend

We LOVE this place. Think I can say best AYCE KBBQ in SF, we’ve tried a lot, probably all of them. Makes it hard to go drop big bucks at fancy KBBQ places too, we just wish we were here. Ask for ssamjang, though lately they’ve been bringing it with the banchan. Love the miso pork belly.

if you want to enjoy real korean bbq i recommend here, you only pay for the entrance and you can order a lot of meat and soup, very fast and quality service, my rating is 10/10

I've come here twice with my cousins and had a great time. The waiters were nice and quick and the food was good but there were a few menu items I didn't like (it's probably just because I'm a picky eater). The atmosphere is also nice but oftentimes feels empty.

The 90-minute timer started right after we placed the order, but then we waited around 30 minutes for our first plate of meat to showed up on our table, which means we only have 60 minutes to grill and enjoy the food.
Initially we did not know there was a 90 minute limit, we then knew because we were placing one of the orders and the owner came over and told us that we only have 30 minutes left (and we ended up did not get all the food that we ordered). We asked why the timer starts after we placed the order, not after we saw the food, the owner replied saying that it was simply because there were too many people and system got jammed....
They also automatically charged 18% tip at the end, with no choice of customizing the tip you want to give according to the service received.

The marinade on the meat is absolutely delicious and the clams are sooo good too. I really like this place, some of the best Korean BBQ in the Richmond.

Decent food, meats, and sides - great value for the price. My only complaint is the ratio of staff to tables. It was painfully slow to order things and we had to repeat several times.

Had a great time here. Made a reservation for 4 friends. Arrived and seated on time. The food is high quality and served quickly. Stayed until we hit the time limit.

Always fun to come here. We had a private party and they kept the meats coming. The veggie trays were good too. Really fun to “cook” your own food and eat it right away.

If you are looking for a place to eat kbbq, this has to be a stop for you. (You cook your meat.)

For starters, the service was great. We ordered the food on our phone, which is actually very convenient, and it came out in a timely manner.

I will say that i recommend getting the seasoned/marinated meats as they do taste better. The regular meat taste bland, but if that's you cup of tea, then by all means.

I recommend the short ribs, getting the rice, and getting the lettuce to wrap your meat and eat it like a taco. (hehehe). They change your grill frequently so you don't have to worry about your food sticking.

Additionally the price is great. My party got around 20 plates of meats, but you get a 90 minute limit with unlimited meats as long as you're able to finish the food. The total was around 80$ (drinks included).

OVERALL, I am going to recommend this place to family and friends and I WILL RETURN. (You get complementary ice cream with your meal at the end.)

The host/reception/waitlist system needs fixed. It’s just unit worth the hassle to come here for mediocre food. I would recommend going to a different KBBQ place that has better food and organization

Overall: Food is standard fare with friendly staff.

The extended review...

- Cuts are standard fare. I only go for kalbi usually since that's the most delicious for me!

- Friendly and attentive service.

- A great ambiance. The seating is fairly spread out.
