My husband and I hadn’t had dinner because we were working, so by 9 PM we were absolutely starving and decided to visit this restaurant.
But since we knew the restaurant closed at 10 PM, we hesitated, thinking it might be too late.
When we asked the owner, however, he warmly welcomed us in, telling us to come on in.

Even though the place was busy with many customers, the kindness of the service truly moved us!
And the samgyeopsal (pork belly) was so tender it practically melted in my mouth.
I usually have trouble chewing tough meat because of my teeth, but this time it was so soft and easy to eat.

The kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) served generously alongside it was beyond words—there was no artificial seasoning, just a clean and delicious flavor that came from the rich broth of the kimchi itself.
The addition of the perfectly cooked ramen noodles made it absolutely exceptional!

*****And the owner kindly told us that if we ever want to come late, we can simply call in advance and place our order!!!*****

Today has truly been a happy day, and I can confidently say this restaurant is one of the best I’ve ever been to.

The variety of BBQ flavors was truly amazing. It was incredibly delicious!! They even grilled the meat for us, and each type of meat was labeled by flavor, which made it even better. I definitely want to go back again!!!

Great Korean BBQ experience!

We ordered the Family Combo 2 for our group of 4 adults and 1 child. There were plenty of food and even had leftovers. The staff cooked everything for us at the table, which made it relaxing and easy to enjoy.

It’s a great spot if you enjoy a variety of flavors since there’s something for everyone. Would definitely come back!

This place stands out from other kbbq places for the variety in marinades. We really enjoyed the variety in pork belly marinades. They also cook the meat for you here, and they gave me a Hagen daaz for my birthday 😇

Really good pork belly restaurant in eight different marinades cooked right at your table with kimchi and bean sprouts. The kimchi stew with ramen that is cooked besides it is a perfect combination with the pork slices. Come with an empty stomach because you will be full when you leave.

I loved that they had 8 different flavors of pork belly—so good! The stew that came on the side was super tasty too. It's a great spot to eat with family. The staff were really friendly, and parking was easy, which is always a plus!

Had dinner with friends, and was pleased to find they have gf options. We had both pork and beef. We are heavy on the meat eating, so we had salad, kimchi, and soup - not gf, but I didn't mind. The 4 stars for atmosphere, was because they had supplies visible in the eating area, and I faced them at our table

Paid $200 for 3 people and got served with plastic cups for water and rice.

That is absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant let alone one that charges what this place did.

That's a poor decision by the business owner to allow or mandate such waste and laziness.

Will never go back after that.
