The Korean BBQ is wonderful. We chose “2pm combo” which was very filling. With the beef and pork being tender and flavorful. Although it may be, very salty. The rice portion they gave us was more than plenty to help delay the inevitable death of my kidneys. Overall, the place itself is nice. The smoke that’s made when cooking is easily ventilated through the open doors and windows. Although the bathrooms aren’t the best. I don’t care for it’s mainly food I care about.

If you’re a fan of Korean bbq and want to come here for that, don’t. The dumplings and bao were good, but the meats were not. They brought out a tiny tray where they put the sides. The sides they bring out (kimchi and such) are ok but such a tiny amount you could eat it in a bite. I would not come here unless all you want are some appetizers and drinks.

We got here later at night on the tail end of a date, so we could only choose food from the late menu, which was really short. We got the chicken wings, garlic fries, and then just had drinks. The wings were good, almost like sweet and sour wings. The garlic fries were very good, and came with a sort of dijon au jus to dip in. For drinks, we had the Boxcar Blues, which was perfect, followed by whiskey and vodka shots. Staff was helpful and gave attentive service, as we sat at the bar on the outside patio side. Yes, the heating lamps were also on, otherwise, we would've been freezing. For parking, you can park on the street, or in a parking deck nearby on this same street.

The service was so bad. It took them an hour to serve the meat for us to grill. And the two waitresses were just standing and doing nothing.

My girlfriends and I patron this establishment for Galentine's Day on February 10 for dinner. We opted not to do the Korean barbecue and ordered from the appetizers menu. I ordered dumplings the wings meatballs, and also sake. The food was good. The wings were wonderful crispy and juicy Miley spicy but good. The meatballs were OK. They were a tad bit dry. The dumplings were very good. The service was slow, but not so slow that I would not come back. The establishment was clean and everyone was friendly.

Good food but there are definitely other places you can go to for a more enjoyable and filling KBBQ experience!Food ordered: garlic pork belly, marinated short rib, kimchi gyoza, kimchi fried rice, charred cabbageReview: the meat was really good! Very flavorful and of high quality (but fairly small portion-wise ex. 7 pieces of meat for $25) kimchi fried rice was yummy (love a runny egg!), gyoza was standard, the cabbage was mostly raw (just a 1/4 head of cabbage with some sauce?? We chose to cut it and grill it ourselves to soften it)Additional:- the grill was not well cared for, looked dirty/crusty- the staff does not grill the meat for you- small portions! Although it was around $25/person for us, it will 100% be more if you actually eat until you’re not hungry (we ended up getting dessert + MORE food after)- presentation of food was lovely, overall atmosphere was nice (more of a date night vibe than hanging out with friends)TLDR: good meat but pricey, an experience more focused on aesthetic than authenticityVegetarian options: Although a handful of the small bites are vegetarian, you primarily come to grill meat so…

Yo Mac an cheese here is to die for. Atmosphere great an drinks..
Ordered the Painted French Girl and the Korean BBQ Shrimp. The drink was extremely small to be $12. It looked as if it should have been a flight. The shrimp was bland, unseasoned, and luke warm as if it was sitting. It took 30 minutes for our waitress to come back and continue assisting us when it was not busy.

Had a really great time here despite the rain. We sat outside near the bar and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Still got to grill outside and did not get wet. One of the bar tenders was amazing as he let us taste some of the ingredients for one of the cocktails we ordered.Amazing service!

We stopped in for a quick appetizer and drink. We tried the crispy beef mandu and they were really tasty. It's served with a ponzu sauce that's just okay but the dumplings were amazing. I had a tequila dream drink that was tasty as well. Service was friendly and quick. They do have options for you to cook the typical korean meats so we may come back and try it out.

My partner and I chose this restaurant for our date night so I made reservations. The restaurant is small, but nice & vibrant. They allow for outdoor seating with tall heating towers that keeps you warm & cozy during the winter. My partner & I tried the meatballs for the appetizer & they were AMAZING. Definitely some of the best meatballs I’ve ever had. For our entrée we selected the super junior and it was just our luck that they ran out of pork so we were able to replace the pork options with chicken, which was perfect for us. The meats provided were good. The rice was a bit mushy, but still edible. There weren’t many side vege options or sauce to choose from. The staff was wonderful, engaging & helpful. There was a bit of wait time to be seated & served, but it wasn’t bad. I plan to come back when the weather is a bit warmer to sit outside & try their wings! Definitely would recommend!Parking: Parking garage is nearby.

It took over an hour and fifteen minutes for our grill to be turned on and for our meats to arrive. My partner and I spent nearly $300 on an anniversary dinner here and it was legitimately the most disappointing dining experience I’ve ever had.We went a good 30-45 minutes without water refills. The marinated ribeye is rather flavorless compared to regular bulgolgi. Brisket was good. Wagyu was good. The korean chicken is NOT korean fried chicken, but regular chicken wings and drums covered in a sweet chili sauce. It was fine.We left hungry. Dinner wasn’t filling, so we decide to order dessert- the fried oreos woth vanilla ice cream. Except our waitress didn’t bring ice cream- and after waiting a good 15 minutes to catch her attention again at the now-empty restaurant, she told us that it doesn’t come with ice cream and asked to see the menu on our phones. She was promptly corrected by another staff member.She told us she had never served the oreos with ice cream, which was crazy to hear shes been doing her job wrong for a while.The A5 wagyu was good, at least. But if you want A5, you’re better off going to a steakhouse that doesn’t ignore you for an hour.
