We got bibimbap with beef and chicken bulgogi, both are fresh and tasty! This place also offers free miso soup and kimchi, which is very awesome!
However there are not a lot of options on the menu.

Definitely will come back again. We love the food here, really delicious. Miso soup and barley tea are all good. Highly recommended.

Very yummy. I had the 잡체, and my friend had the 불고기. We loved all the sides that were thrown in: kimchi soup, kimchi, miso soup, and beansprout salad. And these drinks were free with the meal: roasted barley tea (so yummy) and the rice malt slushy for dessert. If you like the barley tea (보리차), you can buy a bag at the Korean grocery next door. Friendly staff.
As someone who lived in S. Korea for a time, I was not at all pleased with my experience at Korean BBQ & More. I ordered the Japchae with beef and my wife ordered the beef bulgogi. I knew something was off as soon as I received my order. What struck me first was the ingredients used. There was the essential spinach, carrots, and onion, but there was also bell peppers and wood ear mushrooms (which I like, but found it strange to be in this dish).
Secondly, the previously mentioned ingredients were barely cooked. It was as if they were thrown in just before serving. This wouldn't be a huge deal if the flavor was present, which it wasn't. Japchae is supposed to have a peppery umami flavor, unlike the version I was served. The portion size was good, but I did not finish it as I normally would if the flavor was worth the discomfort.
The beef added to the japchae was the same as the bulgogi. That is to say, it was thick, dry, and of the wrong cut of meat. Bulgogi, the most ubiquitous Korean dish out there, should be very thinly sliced beef (usually ribeye) and in a small amount of its own sauce with cooked onions and carrots. This particular dish only came with the meat and green onions as garnish.
The kimchi was literally made from a cole slaw mix with a vaguely kimchi flavored brine. Also pretty dry.
The service was fine. Instead of being asked about drinks, we were (I guess) expected to know to get our own water and where to find it. It's a minor issue, but still.
I had high hopes since I had found a relatively inexpensive Korean restaurant, a rare commodity to be sure. What I really found was a Korean restaurant in name only. In the future, I will continue to spend a little extra for actual Korean food elsewhere.

Unassuming restaurant at the end of a strip-mall serving simple traditional Korean meals. It’s order-at-the-counter and self-service for silverware/napkins, cold water, cold barley tea, and hot miso+seaweed+tofu soup. The food was quite good and well-prepared especially for Florida standards, although the bulgogi lacked a bit of sweetness that I like. The service, although not full-service, was very friendly and prompt. The dumpling+glass noodle+rice cake soup was very nice to have available.

My three friends & I walked in at 7:20 pm. There was no hesitancy by the staff for having us dine in so close to their closing time (8 PM). The food came out quickly, hot & fresh, & sooooo tasty!! All 4 of us can't wait to go again!

Staff and food are excellent. The Bi Bim Bap is a great $14 deal. Healthy, real ingrediants, and taste great with their sauce. The Kimche isnt bad either :).

I normally don’t leave reviews, but this has to be the worst Korean establishment my husband and I have been to. Doesn’t seem authentic and I should have known considering there wasn’t any Koreans in the establishment. This is definitely an American knock off version and it’s done poorly. The state and the quality of the food is way off. Bland, burnt, and thick bulgogi slices that didn’t even taste Korean. In addition, the japchae had me gagging. I literally had to call to ask what the rubber stuff was in this dish because it resembles squid which I don’t eat. Flavor non existent. Over price for the quality. Ultimately at bad experience based of quality and taste of food.
Customer service was great though. ??

Love this place so much! Family owned Korean restaurant with delicious food. As much miso soup and Barley tea as my little heart desires! Everyone is super friendly, and often the owner will come around to chat and ask how things are. Lovely place.

The owners were incredibly sweet and passionate about their food. We were recommended to order the Beef/Chicken Bulgogi and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was comforting and intimate, the food was simple and packed with flavor, I will absolutely be returning!

Wonderful little family owned Korean BBQ ran by a wonderful man full of passion, love, and spirit. I am grateful they are here. That said, there is no way he is making much profit. Prices have went up very little over the years, whilst his cost have skyrocketed. I hope the best for them, I hope the best for all of us peons in this world that grows more and more unrecognizable day by day

Delicious - great portion & price. Bulgolgi tastes great (surprised not more spicy), but can add sauce or mixin kimchi. Miso soup available too.Not a ton of seating, but does have room for some bigger groups 6/7 people.
