There's something about using English on a menu that makes me initially feel like the restaurant isn't authentic and I will admit that when they advertise having confit, ribeye, NY steak, etc. I question the quality of it all. Still, I went with friends because the pricing was way better with the meat assortment than others in the area and I will say it did not disappoint!On a Thursday evening at 6pm, the restaurant only had 2 parties before us and I was pleasantly surprised at not having to wait.We ordered menu B for $34.99 as of writing this review and boy did we get full really quickly! We ordered the ribeye to start and if you read the fine print you can only order 1 steak per 2 people. You can order 4 meats at a time so we got kalbi, bulgogi, and brisket as well. The bulgogi was very lightly marinated but still packed a ton of flavor and of course the brisket and kalbi were delicious.I was surprised that the ribeye and New York steaks came out cooked at medium rare temperature, but I like that it saved us so much time from having to cook it ourselves as it is a 90 minute time limit.I don't like wasting food so I appreciated that the banchan was brought out upon request. The japchae, fish cakes, cucumber, and steamed egg were great.For drinks, we ordered yogurt soju and kloud beer. Everything was priced as you'd expect in a restaurant, which is of course at a higher mark up. I do hope in the future they can consider adding Beatboxes because they're inexpensive and fun to drink.The service was great. I was so full that I never really needed to call on the server for anything. One thing I wish they would do was play Korean music. It just adds a bit more authenticity to it than playing top 40 pop music. Other than that, though, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning for menu A in the future.(1/50--2024)

If you are NOT looking for a true Korean BBQ go here. I'm so sorry, but this place needs a lot of improvement. Terrible meat. Bad banchans. Nice people, but it was such a waste of money. Let's represent KBBQ properly in the valley!

We got to celebrate the father's party with my sister and his fslimia, they arrived first and asked for their food and they wanted to force us to ask for the mid-menu if we were at the same table. It was no use traveling for two hours to eat here if we received such bad service and without eating

It pains me to give a low review but the service is horrible food coming out at different times and even had to get up to ask for to go boxes because we were ghosted
I've been eating here for 4 years had good quality meat and now I have to say the bulgogi was the worst meat was chewy my son almost choked, and to top it off an Asian lady server charged two of my children as an adult thinking we would not see it, instead of apologizing she charges in error she used my 10 year old as her excuse and said she will adjust it but only for my 8 year old, she said she will have to charge my 10 year old as an adult. For me she's shady and this is our last and final we're ever going to eat here. I hope the owner sees this cause that's bad practice and terrible customer service.
Burger was pretty good, although it was not as ordered, the kitchen staff seemed to be struggling with a sudden influx of
