Asian BBQ & Pho Restaurant

Very disappointed and unsatisfied we waited 1 hr long not sure if their Air conditioner isn't working but it was very humid inside, rice was dry and not soft, veggie was rough cuts and found a hair in it. Ask for water refill and waitress only brought a water cup me and a friend haded to share.

Food is always amazing but the waiting time is not worth it

The staff are very helpful. Walked us through the menu, checked on us frequently making sure we had everything we needed and wanted. The meat was good but not jaw dropping good. But will definitely satisfy your hunger.

We wrote our names down on the waiting list they told us it would be about 20 minutes. 20 minutes passed and we asked and they said about another 20 minutes. We waited again and in the meantime while waiting a customer choked on his food. Not one of the workers went to check after multiple people saying there was an emergency. No one was at the host desk and no one came for about a good 3-5 minutes after multiple people saying there was an emergency. Till they finally came out called 911 and then left all his throw up and spit and all the food he was choking on, on the table while other people sat there till they asked to move to the other side of the restaurant. No one came and cleaned it for about another 30 minutes and by then we decided to leave because we had been waiting for over an hour and no one was still getting seated. It honestly ruined my whole experience and will not be trying anytime soon! Sorry not sorry that was disappointing seeing how long it took them to clean up someone’s throw up.

We’ve been coming here since the restaurant first opened, and based on what we’ve heard from friends who know the owner personally, we believe the recipes — especially the soups — are still some of the most authentic in Visalia.

However, the overall food quality — especially appetizers and side items — has declined noticeably over the past few years.

From my own experience managing a kitchen, I’ve seen how food quality suffers when staff are careless or not properly managed. When workers don’t follow recipe measurements, cook times, or plating standards, consistency goes out the window. And unfortunately, that’s exactly what it feels like here lately.

The issue doesn’t seem to be the recipes — it’s the execution. Without strong kitchen management to enforce standards and attention to detail, quality will keep slipping no matter how good the original recipes are

Wonderful food, I've been three times and gotten the all you can eat BBQ all three times. Staff is very attentive and wonderful. It's a lot of fun getting to cook at the table.

Favorite place! I love when my honey takes me here! We drive 1hr just for lunch! I recommend the Beef Pho, Medium heat Calamari, Spring Rools and egg rolls. Absolutely DELICIOUS!

Waited 20 minutes to get a seat for BBQ.

Waited for another 20 minutes to get three small plates of low quality meat.

Meat smells extremely bad. Even worse than anything you can get from any market.

We did the premium option but the service was terrible.

Can’t believe why this kind of restaurant can exist in the world.

Decent when you have a craving for a all you can eat Korean BBQ. The meat quality is not bad. However the service was pretty bad. It took forever for us to get seated on a Tuesday for lunch. We had to wait 30 minutes before even seeing a receptionist. Once seated, it took another 10 minutes before the waitress came around. When she came around she took our order and should have turned on the grill right away to get the grill hot. Yet she didn't do so until she came back with the meat. Then we had to wait another few minutes for the grill to get up to temp.

We then had to ask for the typical dipping sauces, salt/pepper, and sesame oil. that come automatically with every Korean BBQ meal. When she did bring it out, the oil was placed into a separate sauce container instead of directly into the salt and pepper mix. This required us to either pour the sesame oil into the salt and pepper, but that would cause it to spill because the oil was the same split compartment sauce container; made it very difficult to pour. However, she didn't give us a spoon in order to scoop it into the salt and pepper mix. So we had to ask for that too. Seems like a lack of common sense on the part of the waitress. Lastly, to pay, you have to go up to the register. And of course there's nobody at the register, so you then a line builds up of people trying to pay. So you have to wait even longer to leave the restaurant.

I'm unsure how many people work there, as that one cool dude was doing all the hustling, but it was good. Just he's the only guy really... doing anything.
