Meat is good. Its all you can eat. There is sugar in all marinated cuts. Servers were great, and accommodating. Horrible smoke in there, the fans need to operate better, I feel bad for the servers.

We were staying out of town and decided to stop by here for dinner and we are very happy we did. The food was amazing, staff was very friendly and offered a lot of different recommendations to ensure we had the best experience possible.

The price point may be a little high but it is worth every penny and you will not leave disappointed. Don't be afraid to experiment with the menu.

The food was very mediocre. 4 out of the 8 people at the table got sick 2-3 hours after the meal. The meat was not of good quality, like you could just taste it. The service was awful, multiple times things we ordered didn’t show up. Our water was NEVER refilled not even once. And twice they came around with the wrong items, things we had not ordered.

They charged us a service fee of 18% because of our large group, even though it was never mentioned or posted anywhere at the front (see photo). And more egregious was that we asked and the “service charge” didn’t directly go to the waiter. Most restaurants which have that kind of auto 18% charge make it a gratuity for the waiter. On the receipt too, the recommended tip amounts also included the amount in the service charge. Like why should I tip another 20% on the 50 dollars which was just service charge??? Absolutely ridiculous.

A great spot for Korean BBQ! They have a large and diverse menu. Most ordering is done from a convenient tablet located at the table. The service was outstanding and all of our meat orders arrived quickly and were generously portioned. The quality of all the food was high and I would highly recommend the premium steak. It was nicely marbled, tender, and tasted delicious. Don't forget to check out their sauce bar, which has tons of tasty and interesting options for seasoning or dipping you meat and veggies. Tables do have a two hour time limit but I found that to be more than sufficient to satisfy my appetite. Definitely worth the money and I will absolutely be coming back.

We had a birthday celebration 🎂. The birthday person gets a free meal but it must be done on the day of their birthday.
We prefer this place from others because of their selection of seafood is better. We sat down close to the bar but our booth had the table so close to the seat that it was so hard getting in or out. The vent was blowing cold air which made it uncomfortable but I understand its needed to circulate the hot food. Loved the order lcd menu, we order at our table and people brings them out quickly.

Pro: Food, Service and order system
Cons: Table and cold

We had a party of 4, and we got the hotpot and BBQ. I’d never been to one before, and it was excellent. Beef bulgogi and Miso pork belly were my faves, but it was great to try out other ingredients such as lotus root, black fungus, blue crab, bamboo shoots, fish tofu, brisket, lamb, red wine pork belly. Many many options, and they arrived in very short order.

The goku special was mine and it was very good 😁

Our ONLY concerns were: 1) the food wasn’t labelled, so when it all came at once we weren’t sure what was what 2) the iPad ordering system was hard for half the table to reach 3) the booth benches are NOT secured to the floor, so even scooching over slightly will disturb the people behind you.

93$ for two people with one drink each, however it was so worth it. Will come again another time 😁

Food quality was proper AYCE quality. Everything tasted good, though it was fattier than the average kbbq joint.

Service, unfortunately, was pretty bad. Called beforehand to let them know, showed up on time just to wait 30 minutes in the lobby. Anytime it was asked, they “just needed a minute to clear the table.” Now, I expected to walk into a busy restaurant given the time we had to wait, but half of the tables were clean and empty, so not sure why we needed to wait so long.

It started to make sense as we sat at the table. Everything was slower than expected. Smoke constantly filled the room because they didn’t clear old grills for too long and there aren’t any vents above the middle set of tables.

I can’t tell if employees were tired, lazy, or both. But given their faces, some looked real tired. Others seem to be trying hard to be personable and check on many tables as they were running around delivering meats and cleaning. My takeaway is that management has done a poor job of making the place enjoyable and streamlined for good service and dining experience. Potentially a bit understaffed on the waiting tables side. Food was coming out quick enough though, so the kitchen seemed to be doing well.

I won’t be returning. Hopefully they figure out what’s not working for them. Bad start to 2026.

Great food and sides. Service is fast and you can request meat quickly via tablet. Amazing weekday lunch prices. Docked a point because they charge slightly more if you use card.

Hands down one of my favorite kbbq places. I haven’t tried their hotpot year, but so far all of their meats were absolutely delicious, the sauce bar is amazing in variety. I really wish there were more locations like this!

Do not go here. The food was not good enough to constitute everything else falling short.

Eating was so awkward. Some tables are super high, you pretty much have to put your whole arms on the table. The ordering tablet is embedded in the wall so only 2 party members can really browse the items and order, super inconvenient.

As a whole, ventilation is terrible. Depending on where you are, you have to walk through a fog of smoke to get to the sauce bar and it made my group cough.

I saw a few meat plates that were sitting with their order ticket intentionally stuck on top of each dish, in direct contact with the meat. This was a station by the back for dishes ready to be delivered.

Service was friendly but unprofessional when not directly interacting with customers. I overheard two staff loudly flirting, and another would throw paper/garbage? to tables he was about to clean from at least 10ish feet away. He didn’t throw over anybody’s heads or anything, but properly overhand throwing seems a little excessive imo.

Our favorite Korean BBQ place. We usually get the hot pot, too. Good cuts of meats and vegetables. Very attentive staff.
