I saw so many low star reviews that I was worried to try this place but it is close to my house and I was meeting up with friends and there were a lot of good reviews too, so we decided to try it. I’m not sure if those other people with the low reviews were writing it for the right restaurant because we had an absolutely lovely meal and the service was outstanding. This was only my second time trying kbbq. We did the unlimited and we left with full, happy bellies. We had the brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, joomooluk (?!?), spicy pork and the pork bulgogi along with mixed veggies, lots of garlic, lettuce and rice and it was all fantastic (minus the pork for me but I don’t ever like pork). I told that ladies as soon as they came to our table that it was my first time there and I only had kbbq once before and they were very attentive to us and helped us more than once. I never had an experience where they pressured us into giving them more tip. We got a pitcher of blue Hawaiian also which was yummy. Please go! I love supporting small business and this is one that I’d love to see thrive ❣️ I don’t usually write reviews but would hate to see someone pass this place up due to the lower reviews I saw.

Please ignore all the bad reviews, this place is honestly sooooo good. From the Nice ladies to the food. I have been to other Korean BBQ (more fancy) and this place is honestly one of the best ones, i go at least once a week. Other places do not have a flavor as this place. The price is very fair for all you get including the sides. The brisket is my favorite one. The vibe is always very friendly, and is never too loud; is just perfect. I consider this place one of my favorite's restaurant, not only for their good flavor but the taste. Is also always clean, and everyone is very nice. Never gotten sick.... Must not be the most fancy place, but the food is just so fire. Truly all you can eat place! is so much worth for what you pay.Parking: parking is easy! very easy

The food is only one star because the quality is beyond absurd. The meat smells even if it is marinated and cooked. I ordered squid and gizzard and half of them were served still frozen - the ingredient should be defrosted completely before it is served.The older lady who served our table initially was just rude. We asked to change the grill and she tried to convince us not to by telling us to cook on the outskirts of the grill. I had to be very assertive and asked her back: “so can we change the grill or not?”She then finally agreed but she never came back to serve usDon’t settle for this place just because you think there isn’t an all you can eat bbq near by - there is and your hard earned $33.99 deserves to be spent better.

Steer clear of this place. The food was a complete letdown - zero flavor, poor quality, and not fresh at all. On top of that, the service was terrible. Our waitress, an older lady, kept insisting on telling us how to eat our food, even though we explained we preferred our own way. Also, after multiple grilling sessions, the grilling plate was filthy, covered in grime. We requested a change, but she was hesitant at first and only reluctantly replaced it after multiple tries. Finally, to top off the night, we never got refills on our water and left with upset stomachs. Do yourself a favor and skip thisone.

Service was absolutely terrible, no wonder it was literally completely empty the whole time we were there. The food was actually kinda tasty, we ordered the all you can eat. Since it's a Korean bbq spot, you have to do the cooking yourself and basically you just tell the waitress what you want and she brings it out. It's true what the other reviews say about the tips though. We had already left a fairly generous tip, so it surprised me when the waitress practically started begging for even more. So we added about 5% more, and she still got mad. Overall, I don't recommend this place, go anywhere else.

I come here semi-regularly if I'm in the area, it's basically the only kbbq place I go to. The staff are always friendly and they remember us a lot of the time! Good place for small celebrations, family or friend get-togethers, or a casual outing as well.The food is always good, they give you lots of sides. At first it seems like they give you really small portions but you can always ask for more with the unlimited bbq, so nothing to worry about there!I wish I had pictures to share but I'm focused on eating so I never think to get any, I will say it's a little dark in there but I don't think that's too much of an issue honestly!Overall it's a great experience ?

Staff is always friendly and quick. I’ve never had a problem here and no one has harassed me about tipping, I don’t know why so many people complain about it, it’s courtesy.
Never again . I can get better food and service . The lady chased me out demanding me give her more tip money . I did not of course . Did not understand her till I walked away n my friend told me what she said . But if I would of known I would of told her off.

Warning! Before you eat here, expect that they will demand for MORE tips.Avoid this restaurant. If only we read the reviews before eating here, we would not go anymore. The meat was not fresh and they served small portions esp the pork belly it felt like you're chewing a rubber. Lastly, one of the servers (an older one) asked for MORE tips. We already gave a decent amount but we were surprised that she was demanding for MORE tips. That was our first time encountering it demanding for more tips no wonder why this restaurant is not busy at all.I hope the owner is aware of this kind of issue or else customers will not come back anymore and we are one of them. We will never come back here anymore.

We were the last customers, and four groups were already seated when we arrived around 7:40 p.m. We were informed of the restaurant's 9 p.m. closing time upon seating.We ordered the unlimited BBQ. Despite our refusal, one of the servers was excessively insistent in promoting LA Rib BBQ, an extra $10 charge.The marinated squid and shrimp were extremely salty, taste was not good. Looking back, we should have ordered them without the marinade. The side dishes were presented in containers slightly larger than shot glasses size, and I had never encountered Korean side dishes that were so distasteful. They were not for human beings !I wondered if the sesame oil was pure or mixed with a cheaper oil because it did not smell like it.One of the side dishes was kelp noodles, cut into roughly 1 cm pieces, so short that it seemed like they had been scraped from the bottom. I inquired, "Did you intentionally cut them this short?" The waitress explained that they had to be cut that way to fit in the small container and for sharing. Speechless!Despite not requesting rice, a substantial portion was served in a large bowl. When we mentioned that we hadn't ordered the rice while asking for the check, one of the servers casually remarked “We are going to throw it away anyway.” This made us feel like we had been served side dishes right before they were about to be discarded.It's unlikely that many Koreans would choose to dine at this restaurant, and I won't be returning. Even with the $10 Unlimited BBQ option, it's not worth it.
