I did not realize how expensive Korean BBQ is! The portions are rather generous; share a meal! I took 13 high school cheerleaders to dinner after the season, and the bill was $400. The food is tasty; they need more servers. The parking lot is too small.

Wouldn’t recommend at all wasting your time at this place, service is terrible, food is not worth it and they barely can speak English to explain what is every thing that you are ordering . Really poor service, no interest at all to serve you . Just avoid.

Food is good but service is terrible. If this review is for the food alone, I would give it 5 stars.Service is slow. We were a party of 7 and they gave us only one grill. The Servers attitude is really bad. Its like they dont even care.

To start I’m Korean, my family is in Korea, and I love food. To the ones who said the food was bad or mediocre, stay in the HMart food court or whatever tiktok ramen yall wanna make. The obvious hate is so undeserved.This place always delicious. Brought a big group of coworkers here to try kbbq for the first time. The aunties were super helpful and let us individually box things up to go when we couldn’t finish.They were so polite and patient with us because we didn’t know what we wanted.Dietary restrictions: There’s no cheese, dairy and meatless optionsParking: There’s a parking lot but it’s not very big because you’re in a busy area. There’s plenty of side and street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door entrance is ground level

The prices are very high for the portions they’re serving. I don’t believe chicken should be 35.00. We ordered ribeye and it was one small portion for 39.00, when it’s 18.00 a pound. The bill was 172.00 for my family of 5. That was for 4 servings of protein. I left a ten dollar tip because the bill was so high, chicken is cheap. And then the server has the audacity to say to give her 15%. We will never go there again. They’re robbing you with their prices. Very disappointing.

Best place to go to if you're looking for an abundance of different varieties of Korean banchan side dishes cause they're the best at that! Food was great. We got the bulgogi and the kalbi. Service was attentive, can get busy during dinner time tho

Went on a Friday night and I had the Bulgolgi. It was good. I was with a large group of people for a birthday party so it probably would be a lot different if I was able to cook my own food on the charcoal grills provided.

I had a good experience here after hearing so many good things about it. They have parking but it’s very limited. I was fortunate enough to find one since it wasn’t very busy at the time. We came for lunch and ordered a few dishes. The side dishes are plentiful. Very decent food quality. Service left a lot to be desired. Just very mediocre. Prices were okay, nothing too expensive for what we got.This is not ayce bbq, it’s better if you go to Iron Age or Bbq Garden for that. For those that are unfamiliar with the concept, you cook the meat yourself for the bbq. Very easy. You just cook the meat to your liking. I would recommend this place if you live towards the north side of Chicago. If you live in the burbs, you can good Korean restaurants in the Niles, Glenview, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights areas.
