Went as a family to do ayce sushi here. All of us but one got sushi the other person ordered teriyaki chicken which came out looking like microwaved chicken cutlets you buy from Walmart. No kids menu. No ac so it was hot and the sushi was warm.... The fried sushi rolls were literally the worst id ever seen and the absolute glob of spicey mayo on every roll really ruined it. Also waited 2 hours for 12 rolls while the restaurant was empty.....Kid-friendliness: Kid friendliness doesn't exist in this place

Our server was great and extremely patient with us even though it was our first time. The food was amazing quality and a good deal for the all you can eat. Their peach soju was the bomb! ?

The restaurant itself is pretty old and is in dire need of a facelift but the food was excellent! Ordered the vegetable gyoza (which was just okay) and the spicy chicken bulgogi and it was delicious Would definitely go back for more! Service was great too!

The service here is disjointed and very slow. The restaurant was not busy for a Saturday and no one was ordering all you can eat sushi or bbq. After placing my order, two different servers asked if I had been helped. Waited over 30 minutes for three of my four sushi rolls. The fourth was served 30 minutes later. The ginger was old and bland, the wasabi was spicy but flavorless.

Absolutely, by far, the WORST KBBQ I’ve ever had in my life. The service was abysmal. Our waitress spent about an hour sweeping the same spot while glancing at our table every 15 minutes. Forgot our order every time we asked for anything. We had a table of 6 and she only brought us 4 pairs of chopsticks… and didn’t even bring more after she dropped off the sides, so 2 of us just sat there not even able to eat …I asked for more sauce 4 times and she only came back twice with maybe 5 drops of sauce in the sauce holder. They don’t carry radish paper, rock salt, they charge extra for rice. All of this for some very sub-par sushi. they also only have a small electric grill for a table of 6, not even gas. So the food took another 35 minutes to even get warm. All of this experience for more than $50 a person. They don’t even have A/C on, no fans. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never go back or recommend this place to anyone.

Loved it. Reminded me of Korea. Nice location and wonderful staff! Food was amazing as well!

This is a typical Korean AYCE BBQ restaurant you can find around the world, which ironically enough not too common in Korea.I didn’t try their AYCE option but tried Kimchi Jigae (Kimchi and pork stew). Didn’t have too much expectation as typically these restaurants are specialized in providing okay food.I was very pleasantly surprised that it is actually authentic (tastes like as if I am having it in Korea) and satisfyingly good. I don’t know about quality of AYCE option but I will definitely be back when I crave for something that helps you to get over cold weather.

I was hesitant to eat here because of the mixed reviews but was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. We came in for lunch around noon on a Wednesday and the restaurant was basically empty. Our server greeted us with water and took our orders right away. The bento box was such a good deal (for downtown pricing). I was plenty full and had leftovers. They were also accommodating for my friends dietary needs. The sushi did take a while to come out but it was very fresh tasting. This will be added to our lunch rotation.Dietary restrictions: Gluten/dairy

We waited at the front for at least 10 minutes. Finally, the guy making sushi came and satis. You can tell he wasn't a waiter but he was the only one there to help us. He was incredibly nice and checked upon us the whole night. After 30 minutes of sitting down (the sushi guy did bring us drinks and sides) our waiter finally came to introduce himself. He checked on us once the entire hour we were there. Thankfully the sushi guy kept checking on us. We definitely gave the sushi guy the bigger tip. Overall not great (except for the sushi guy who is amazing). He ended up giving us the role of sushi for free because of our bad experience without us having to complain. The food was amazing. Lots of options and relatively cheap for a Korean barbecue

Very very bad experience. We ordered four entrees, and after appetizer served and 15 minutes, server told us all of them are sold out - three out of beef, and the other one out of seafood.We decide to just pay for what we had and leave and find somewhere else to eat . We got charged full price for drink and beer, although we had not have a chance to finish half of it. No apologies from manager, and when grabbing the check the server did not even get us a pen.This restaurant is a completely a joke.

From the other reviews here it seems that the Korean BBQ is the way to go. Our mistake. We have eaten a lot of sushi in our travels and wanted to try this stuff. While this wasn’t terrible sushi it was about as average as it gets. The price is not reflective of quality. This place is expensive. Go to any Safeway or other grocery store selling pre-made sushi and you’ve got your flavour equivalent. We are visiting from Canada and took the opportunity to give this place a try while wandering around. We were the only patrons in the restaurant. It took the waitress 15 minutes to bring our drinks after informing us they were out of the reasonably priced sake but we could “substitute” for another one. And by substitute they just meant charge us double for the more expensive stuff. So we didn’t get to try any of that. Food service was slow for being the only people in the place and everything showed up at once which is poor practice when you have appetizers. Again, without being too harsh, the venue is nice, the waitress was nice as well but I think your money could be better spent elsewhere for what you get. Also not loving the credit card convenience fees being charged these days and am a vocal advocate against that.

Absolutely delicious food perfectly prepared. Also very authentic. It has a lovely relaxing atmosphere. But the best thing? My son and his friend took me there for my birthday. We were able to relax and talk without being hounded by the waitstaff or being made to feel like they would prefer we would leave soon. Denver ofcourse has many fabulous restaurants but this was such a great experience and a wonderful day and I so appreciate the manager and staff providing the perfect birthday dinner.

Excellent food and good service. Our waiter was awesome and checked in on us quite a bit. They have all you can eat sushi included which is awesome. Will definitely try this again when we're in town.

We did not try BBQ and Sushi all you can eat. We had Bulgogi with side dishes and Bibimbap. Portions are great. It was worth it. I just don’t know if the all you can eat will be worth it as we did not try but maybe next time.

We had an awesome experience. It's been about 7 years since I have had some good Korean food. Just the smell of the kimchi when the server placed it on the table brought me back to my childhood. We will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks for all the care you put in your food. It's so delicious ?
