Their Takui Kamja Tang is the best! Love this place.

Came here and they would not come to my table and service me and the people I was with. They threw the menus and plates on the table (the only time they came by) did not greet us, and actively ignored us until we left

My boyfriend and I went to San Soo Gab San and wow—we definitely over-ordered, but no regrets! We got the dumplings, rib eye, and brisket, and each portion was huge with so much meat per order. The rib eye especially was insanely good, and everything cooked right on top of the open charcoal grill made it taste next-level. The smokiness and flavor were perfect.

On top of that, the service was fantastic—friendly, quick, and super attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better.

If you’re hungry (or just want leftovers), this is the spot. Great quality, great portions, and such a fun atmosphere with the grill in the middle of the table. We’ll 100% be back—maybe just with a little more restraint on the ordering next time!

Everything was great, although it would have been better if they had given you tortillas 🤣

The best Korean BBQ Experience ive ever had. The banchan is by far the best part of the meal. Language barrier can be an issue at times but no big deal. Must try the fish pancake.

Definitely a repeat performance for K-BBQ. The oldest one in the city and worth a visit. They have updated their facilities and still produce the classic product and loving atmosphere that fans love.

Very good and fun
Ladies showed us how to cook the food on the bbq.
Little cold in the building and parking could be bigger but will definitely go again.

I don't know if there's an issue where you don't have great service if you don't come at a specific time.. but it wasn't a great experience. I don't understand the bib gourmand nod. They didn't let us cook our food at the table which is pretty normal for kor bbq to let you cook your own food. Waitress said that no one is able to cook at table like 13 times. She forgot to bring things that we asked for..The food is expensive for the amount served and the difference in quality is neglible vs iron age or ryuu. Honestly just don't waste your time going here.
