Gabi has been out server a few times now. She is great! We always get the supreme menu so we can mix sushi & BBQ. Delicious!

There’s nothing authentic about this place. The bbq is a 100% americanized version of real Korean bbq. With that being said the food itself overall was still good and the service was good as well. The bonchon wasn’t bad and the kimchi was pretty decent. The steamed eggs were sweet when they’re suppose to be savory and the kimchi jiggae wasn’t bad. Being Korean I’m gonna be more critical than the average reviewer.
This is a great, amazing place to eat. The staff is extremely friendly. The service is amazing and the food is just beyond the stars. Definitely recommend it.

I’ve been to this restaurant many times and have always been very happy with both the food and the service. Unfortunately, today was a very different experience.
From the moment we started ordering, the waiter was rude. He refused to take our order unless we followed a specific order sequence, which felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. After our food arrived, we were already halfway through our meal and still had no drinks, no utensils, and no hot sauce—even after requesting them once. We only received these items after asking a second time.
Later, my friend went to the restroom while I stayed at the table waiting for them to return. During that time, the waiter approached me and told me we needed to close our tab. He said that because we were not ordering anything at that moment, his boss had instructed him to ask us to close out. We had not gone a long time without ordering, and we still had food on the table that we hadn’t finished. Apparently, because it was a busy night, they ask customers to close their tab if they aren’t ordering frequently, which felt like a not-so-subtle way of telling us to leave.
Once my friend came back, we decided to leave because the situation made us feel rushed and unwelcome. Being asked to close our tab while we still had food on the table was rude and disappointing.
It’s a shame, because this used to be a place we loved and visited often. Now I’m not sure I want to return if customers are treated this way and are pushed out just to free up tables, even before they’ve finished their meal.

Was there for Dinner on 12/15/25 At 7PM. I've never seen a hostess that seemed the least excited to seat and entertain waiting customers. We would ask politely for follow ups and all we get is a seemingly annoyed expression. Dinner was already starting off with a frustrated atmosphere.. Asked for Kimchi like 5 times before receiving one, brought the water carafe to the bar to get water refills, servers were busy but definitely more personable. Food was great however.

I won’t be coming back here. They take an unnecessarily long time to bring out each order—sometimes 20 to 30 minutes. If you want better value and faster service, go to Hot Stone or Oghane.

We decided to meet her for a family lunch and were able to get a back table. The table had two bbq grills. Don’t eat before you go here because you need to eat a lot of good to get your money worth. I thought I could just order sushi, but everyone at the table has to get the BBQ. Also, everyone has to get the same level of AYCE BBQ. Actually, I understand why they have these rules in place, but it’s still frustrating. The sushi was very delicious as were the ribs and pork belly. The fresh veggies were a nice touch. Plenty of side dishes were on the table, but none were refilled. It’s a good place to visit at least once.
Our server was very very helpful and patient with us. Thank you. 🫰🏾

we came in all couples just my friend couldn’t eat but her husband was gonna, we explained it to the host and she said it was fine to just let the server know. We got seated and let the waitress know and she was very rude immediately mugged us and just said I’m getting my manager, after that the manger let us know he couldn’t void that for her the manger guy was very sweet and resolved the issue for us very sweet. The rest of the night the server lagged to attend us and every time we asked for something else she proceeded to slam things and even dropped some of my drink into my sauce. Sad to say that I like this place a lot but next time will definitely ask to not be seated with SHARMAINE. The name might be a lie cause the host was covering for the server because when my friend proceed to pay the host had such a bad attitude with us paying like snatching our money and trying to argue saying it was 8 of us when 3 people had left due to the issue. Great manger but get BETTER STAFF
