Great nangmyun and bibimmyun combo w galbi! The cold noodle soup and spicy buckwheat noodles were delicious and authentic. It's nice to have an option to order other dishes if you decide not to go w the all you can eat bbq, which looked good. Will want to try next time!

Minimum limit of 2 people for AYCE. The meat options were decent but the best part of the experience was definitely the buffet style bar full of various side dishes. One of my pet peeves of KBBQ is having to ask for side dishes refill multiple times but here I can take however much I want. Food came out quickly and our grill was promptly replaced after every round. There was a 18% gratuity fee but we decided to leave some extra cash since the service was lovely until the very end even when we were the last party to leave. One of the servers rushed out the door after we walked out, told us that gratuity was already included, and tried to return the money to us. Very impressed with the honesty and the hospitality of the people here.

We liked this Korean BBQ restaurant, which was very good. We tried a different place, and they also were good, but this one had a small buffet that had salad soup rice and other items. It came with the meal all you can eat. It's a little pricey, but for all you get, it's worth the price. Sorry, no pictures ? take my word that it's good. There were lots of people it was a great atmosphere. We liked it a lot.

I've been here a few times and the most recent visit was excellent. The waitresses who were helping us gave us excellent suggestions on how to cook the meat as well as the sequences they should be cooked. I am reserving the 5th star for the next visit. I certainly mind spending more for excellent serivce and food.

As our first time experience at BBQ Garden, the first impression received was… “Don’t waste our money here at BBQ Garden.”Not verbatim, however we were instructed, “don’t order everything, just eat a little at time, otherwise we will charge you for the excess food.”Before we got back from our table, the waitress already dumped all the Beef Shavings to the grill, over cooking the beef because we couldn’t eat it as fast.The waitress came around and tried to dump the another plate of beef onto the grill… again… however as I instructed to her to please wait, we are trying to enjoy this experience, she turns off the grill completely because she want to grill plater to stay “clean”.Only my two cents, I would recommend patronage at other businesses who1. Not threaten their guest, instead allow them to enjoy the experience2. Not impede on how to cook their food, and prioritize experience over “dirty” grill platters.3. Not provide customer service… instead treat everyone like guest; welcoming, hospital, and family oriented.Thank you to the gentleman who did wait on us in between, was a very thoughtful and sincere individual.

I’ve been here at least 4-5 times, I would pick this over Woori Village based on the selection and service. They have a buffet station with side dishes, soups, and ice cream. When I first came here back when they were relatively new, they had more selection for the buffet station. Over the years, the selection decreased. It’s decent. Yes, you can grab extra plates at that station.I always go with the more expensive ayce option that is close to $40 per person. I usually go with brisket, beef bulgogi, marinated beef steak, marinated beef short ribs, shrimp, steamed egg, corn with cheese, and soft tofu stew. The pork bellies can be hit or miss, depending on how much fat they have on them. I also ordered white rice and lettuce, it helps with digestion. I would grab a piece of lettuce (they come in big pieces), add some rice, then some meat, and eat it.The service is usually from average to above par. I never had any rude servers or just plain abysmal service.

My sister wanted to eat Korean BBQ for her birthday. We looked around the area and this restaurant popped up. We saw mixed reviews and assumed they have their bad days. The reviews were pretty accurate. FIRST, one of the waitress (an older lady) was extremely rude and trying to rush us. SECOND, they automatically tip themselves. When we were checking out, a young man apologized for the elders behavior.

2 meat price options. More expensive one gets you better meat selections. The meat came out fast and it was a good amount per plate. Buffet style for the sides. We didn't have to wait long to get seated. The service was ok at best. They didn't give us enough utensils, complained when we asked to use all 3 grills (there was 10 of us) and it seemed like it was rush to eat and leave. I wouldn't go back unless every other korean bbq spot was full.

The food was quite disappointing. The buffet area had an extremely small selection and most of the platters were about 20% filled, making it look like leftovers. The beef brisket was the only decent thing we got from the meats menu. The rest of the meats were not seasoned well and the pork belly was extremely fatty to the point of being inedible. We had two grills at our table but they only ever had one turned on, so what’s the point of having a big party if everyone had to eat from the same small grill at one end of the table? The fire kept turning off and we had to continuously flag down a server to get it to turn back on, and even then they had to use a lighter to start the fire so the gas grills didn’t even work properly with the knob… in conclusion: food wasn’t good and the service was bad. Definitely not coming back and would advise you to look for other kbbq restaurants.
