The quality stays consistent throughout the meal, and the staff moves with a rhythm that keeps everything feeling smooth even when the restaurant is packed. There’s an energy in the room that makes the dinner feel more social and fun, especially when you’re there with friends or family.

“My friend and I love having lunch here! She’s obsessed with the hot stone chicken bibimbap, and the kimchi pancake is absolutely delicious — definitely a must-try. I always get the short ribs because they’re tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The tteokbokki with cheese is another favorite of mine. My husband loves their seafood pancake — sooo good! Highly recommend this place!“

“A fun place where you grill your own meat right at your table. There was a huge selection of items at the buffet with something for everyone. We told the waitress we had a tight schedule and she got our order in early and even checked on us later ..great service. I plan to come back and bring my older grandkids who will have fun cooking on the grill. I really had a lot of fun and thank you for this place.“

“I was there to celebrate my birthday and had my favorite soup dumplings they were so delicious made to order, we also had the green beans, the noodles and everything was amazing. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back.“

“Amazing love the wings and tacos! Very friendly staff!“

“We had a great experience at Yong's. Everything was made-to-order. We had a cheeseburger and fries and the short ribs. Both were great. We had a cocktail (full bar) and an IPA. We played some pool and won some cash playing the lottery. Yong showed up to make sure all was good. Highly recommend!“
