The beef Bulgogi was absolutely incredible and the staff was very nice!

For some reason the number of grills that you can use is determined by the number of meats that you order. It would have been nice to know this before we were seated in a separate room. We originally wanted to use the two grills inside of said room, but we were waved off of the second one, one of the Korean ladies mentioning something about how we didn't order enough meats to use the second grill. So now, we have 7 people huddled around one stove where 3 people have to sit on the butt end of the table to even reach the grill. This is unacceptable and it should be written somewhere in the menu or at least mentioned to larger parties. I've had better experiences with just 1 other person, but this time with a party of 7 was truly disappointing.

Don’t come if wanna get scammed.
Extremely negative attitude and S service :)
We are a party of 7 and we waited to be seated in a room without told how long we were going to wait or if we can split up tables. After that we got in a room with told two stove but the owner told us to only use one because we didn’t order enough meat. We got 4 types of meat and some other stuff the total is 200+. Side dishes were not free and extremely small portion. Also the ribs are three pieces with the size of a hand for 40 something dollars. Chicken is just cut breast. Seasoning is bad. No service at all and 18% service fee is mandatory which is ridiculous. Asked for lettuce but never arrived after an hour. There were very few customers during our visit so I’m not sure if you did it on purpose or not. Wish there is a zero star option. Honest suggestion if you want to avoid the cost of gas to use stove just don’t run a restaurant. So don’t come if u wanna get scammed lol

This place is fantastic. I came here with some friends and everyone was super friendly and helpful. One of the best restaurants I've been to.

Hidden gem in savoy. Best kbbq I’ve had in town, and there’s some good contenders. Gotta come back for the AYCE special!

The food is good but apparently we are a party of six, and they served us with really, really slow pace. Especially when we know that we are going to finish the meat (which we did), they took almost 20 more minutes for round 2 ?

Went here with a friend and had the AYCE at $34.99 per person. The portions are smaller, so if you have a smaller appetite, it will work for you. Staff was very friendly and were kind to me when I had forgotten my headphones in the restaurant. Recommend if you're a UIUC student looking to eat KBBQ!

Very few kbbq in the area so, I was happy to have one. However, understand that you are required to eat all the meat the bring out first before you can order what you want. 18% tip automatically added and if you split the bill then they add another 18% in. Your meal actually will cost you $48 without any drink order.

I come here every couple of months and it’s always been a fantastic experience! Not only is the food fantastic, but the service is truly phenomenal. We always get great recommendations and have wonderful conversations with our servers. This has easily become my favorite restaurant in the area.
