I felt compelled to leave this review because if it was not for the wonderful friendly staff who genuinely care about your experience and comfort, along with the phenomenal fresh selection of meats and the cute ambiance, this probably would not even be a five star review.

This is hands down a place you will always find time to come back to and truly appreciate the people, the food, and the atmosphere. I love you guys for always making my belly and my soul happy.

Extremely disappointing experience. I called the restaurant the day before to confirm they would be open and asked whether I needed to make a reservation for my birthday celebration. I was told they were open and that no reservation was needed.

The next day, I showed up with my family and friends — only to find the restaurant completely closed. No notice, no explanation.

This wasted everyone’s time and completely disrupted my birthday plans. If your hours aren’t reliable, at the very least don’t give customers incorrect information over the phone. I won’t be returning

This place is the real deal when it comes to Korean bbq and Korean food! I love that they use charcoal instead of gas and the meat tasted so much better due to this small but important change. Service was fast and friendly and despite what other reviewers have stated, yes, they do refills on side dishes at no extra charge. Server was fast and would check on us often. Looking for legit K-bbq?--Look no further and give this place a try!

An old customer from 9 years ago, they raised price of 50%, definitely overpriced shit with worse tastes and little service maybe due to staff shortages but still that’s not a reason of having such small piece of meat setting at $45, that’s worth of a good steak and your meat is not even good.

No sauce provided, no refill for side dishes, and the smoke hood didn’t work well. The food was also overpriced compared to the super delicious one I had in New York.

My best, all-time favorite and go-to Korean BBQ ever throughout many years!! Could never express how much I love the food and the service here. Up until now, no place can match the marinated galbi they have here, as well as their kimchi soup. Highly recommended!!

I was excited to try this restaurant because I prefer old school Korean places. I was NOT disappointed!

All the banchan was good. The galbi & samgyeopsal were high quality and seasoned well. The Korean ahjumma who served us was really nice :) It’s on the pricier side, but I thought it was worth it.

Rolled into Woo Chon on a Friday night for some tabletop charcoal K‑BBQ—definitely hit the spot. We grabbed kalbi, bulgogi, and samgyeopsal, grilled at our table with help from the staff so nothing caught fire 😂. Naengmyeon mid‑meal was the perfect cooling break. Staff were super chill, banchan kept coming, and the cozy vibe in West Ridge felt right.
