Please do not waste your money!The serving size is super small & the price is highly unreasonable. I paid $20+ on a small plate with maybe 10 pieces of chicken, with nothing else. It felt like such a rip off, a total regret. Also, the taste was nothing special. So disappointed. Never coming back!

Absolutely delicious! The food was amazing! Ordered from the kitchen and it did not disappoint! Savory, flavorful, tender, juicy (and spicy) were words that kept being repeated over and over and they still could not do it justice! Absolutely high quality dishes! Not a bad location (mall plaza), a little pricey but well worth the high quality of dishes with friendly service that adds to a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend!

Excellent and delicious, time and time again. The best we have found. Love it!The food is excellent, the sides are THE best (can't find anywhere yet that matches it's quality), the staff is awesome, the atmosphere (when we go) relaxing.

This was an amazing experience that I shared with my sisters. The meal tasted amazing, but the atmosphere really added to the experience. We ordered the Meat Mandoo, delicious fried dumplings, to start and it was so good we each needed our own order. Then we ordered the Chicken Gang Jung, which was boneless fried chicken. It was crispy and had a really nice flavor. I've never had better fried chicken. For the main portion of our meal, we ordered the Bulgogi Beef (tender marinated beef), the LA Galbi (marinated bone in beef short ribs), and the Chadol Baegi (thin sliced beef brisket)to go on the grill. The grill items are family style servings. All items cook quickly and evenly on the in table grill. There was so much flavor packed into the meats from the seasoned marinade and it was so tender it almost melted in my mouth. Each order of meat came with a small bowl of rice and the grill order also came with kimchi, sprouts, Cucumber kimchi, and other fresh tasting toppings to pair with your meats. We finished off our meal with dessert, fried ice cream. Delicious, sweet, and with a lovely fried batter coating, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. 10/10 Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been here multiple times and the food has always been great. Good place to meet up and do lunch or dinner with friends.

Where should I began?This is the first ethnic restaurant we tried in Florida, and disappointing: nothing is right, compare to New York and even LA. Ok I’m comparing sesame to watermelon, not really fair. BUT, at least, please don’t make your marinade so sweet!The location: matters not that much, … but it’s ok.The size: it’s pretty big with many areas, and outdoor.The decor: is ok, compare to the location.The service: ok.The food: below average - the quality of the meats are ok but the marinades are just too sweet, even the spicy paste. What’s for? The Koreans don’t eat this sweet! The appetizers are way below the average. Kimchi is light and passable.The grill: is weak, and not sparking clean. One good thing is, they let us to cook for ourselves. Not pulling up on and on, without regard.The gratuity: the 18% is added to the bill.Bathroom: although somewhat clean but the hand soup is empty, two out of three containers.Odd thing: they use the cart to deliver drinks and food.Judging from the food on the dinners, tables there, and their conversations with the staff, I think Korean food is still a novelty.One last thing, also my first: a couple walked out before ordering. They sat not too far from us and asked very specific questions, such as who’s cook and what are being cooked. Then they got up and just left, saying this isn’t for them.

Love Korean food! The ambience is great and the food is good. I've been back several times. Prices are affordable. For drinks, they have Coca Cola products, Soju which is a traditional Korean alcoholic drink. I haven't tried their cocktails but next time I'll give it a shot. Will be returning again.

Kid-friendliness: Been here with kids and it was great

Parking: There's a ton of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: The booth seats will not accommodate a wheelchair but the aisles are wide enough to fit a wheelchair and still have navigable space.

My first time coming to this restaurant with my family and friends. Overall amazing experience I ordered 2 drinks which were, the King Kong and the Tequila Sunrise and a Cinnamon toast crunch shot. After that I ordered 2 different types of sushi. First was the Volcano Roll and the other was Double Shrimp Roll it all tasted amazing. Definetely coming back here.

So, I wasn't as impressed with Sa Ri One and I see I'm not the only one. I love Korean food! I just wasn't in love with this experience.My husband and I chose this place for a late lunch/early dinner date based on some recommendations. The atmosphere is dark, and the building looks like it needs some love. I mean, the ceiling is falling apart so I'm assuming there may have been problems with the roof in the past. The outdoor patio looks like it has seen better days. No maintenance or care given to that outdoor space. I know this building as the ghost of restaurants past. It once was a Piccadilly Cafeteria, and I can still see the bones of that layout inside even though it has been redecorated. It was many other restaurants/bars before it was Sa Ri One. Let's just say the foundation and building make the restaurant look unclean/unkept. Fortunately, the booth seating and cook top area were very clean. That was a plus for me.The menu was full of all kinds of wonderful things. But at the same time, not all of them were available. You'll know it's not available if the menu item doesn't have a price next to it. Service was kind of weird. It was okay, but I didn't get a friendly vibe. Most people who were there ordered the BBQ. About 2 other groups of people besides us. We ordered our meals already prepared. My hubby got the beef bulgogi and I got the japchae noodle dish. My husband isn't new to Korean food. He didn't care for the sweetness of the bulgogi dish. I have never had japchae before, and I'm so glad I got to try it. I really do love the glass sweet potato noodles. I've had the noodles before but not in the japchae style. I'd totally get this again. My only issue was that the chopsticks were awful and cheap. I mean, they really need to improve on the chopsticks. I had to take the rest of it home because it was too difficult and uncomfortable to eat it that way. Yes, I know how to use chopsticks. The banchan served with the meal was very average. Well, it's your typical side dishes.The mandu (or dumplings) were especially disappointing. We got the fried beef mandu. The filling was good but I could really taste the fryer oil. It had a strange aftertaste. I've had much better at a Korean food truck that I wish was still around. Ginger's Cafe Korean American Mix Up had the best mandu. This made me miss them even more.I may go back to try a few more items, but it will be a takeout order. The food wasn't bad. I just wasn't in love with it. I was also turned off by the prices of the Korean BBQ. I know meat is expensive nowadays, but it just seemed overpriced to me. I'd rather go to a high priced steakhouse than pay these prices to cook my own food. Many people love it, and they definitely have many repeat customers. I am just one person (one opinion) who wasn't as thrilled as others.

Way overpriced, the waiter who never checked on us to refill drinks (water and Hot Tea), never checked on how the food was, let me know they included an automatic 18% gratuity in the check. Very small portions, and the portions they did provide were small. The short ribs were cut maybe a 1/4 inch thick. We chose the traditional BBQ where you cook at the table. Will go to the place in Clearwater with the AYCE BBQ style, and they give you two free beers. Much better service there. Two people at a lunch on a Sunday, 2 Waters, 1 Hot tea, Bulgogi, Shortribs, and a mandoo appetizer, $74 dollars, before the 18% gratuity was added. Never ever again.

My son and I ordered and were served in a reasonable amount of time. The food and service were good. The building is quite large. It seems like it's an older building. It was pricey, but the portions were generous. They offer sushi and vegetarian dishes also.

Me and my man’s favorite date night spot! Everything is delicious and fresh

I got the California rolls they were fresh and delicious and the price was good. My son and I enjoyed it I'm going back today.I went back and they did not disappoint. I tried 4 different sushi rolls and they were all amazing. Thank you to the young lady that works there and gave me some idea of which ones I might like. I loved them all and my family did too. See you again real soon.

The food was expensive. Enter was$29 and came with about two bites of kimchi and other veggies. Had sushi which no better than my favorite Chinese buffet. Service not great. No check back after food delivered.
