Went there yesterday, and OMG—the meat was fresh, and there were plenty of side dishes! It only cost about $32 per person. 👍 The service was attentive. If you’re new to Korean BBQ, give this place a try—it’s a great all-you-can-eat deal!

This is our favorite restaurant in Springfield. The owner Kevin is so welcoming, Drew is the best server, and the food is perfection. If you haven’t tried it out, what are you doing?

For the cost. 32.99 per person over 12, the take away rule is nonsense. Especially considering they will throw the food away if you don't pay to take it after already paying to get it. Silly and wasteful. Despite the restaurant being nice, the staff friendly and the food delicious...I believe the already high cost mixed with this take away policy is why it was so dead when we visited. We spent 185$ on 2 adults 1 teenager and a 5yr old. We would visit again but not taking kids and maybe not doing the all you can eat bbq.

This is a gem of a place, the food is amazing, the prices are a good value for what you get and they have a fully stocked bar... So it's a great hang out spot to hang out with friends.

I love Empire for both the Korean bbq and the sushi! The staff is always amazing, I love the bulgogi beef and the potato salad!!! The bento boxes are such a great value and you get so much food!

This has to be one of my favorite reviews so far! This place is amazing!! From our server Gabriel (hope I spelled it right) to the ambiance this place gets 100 out of 10!! We enjoyed the food being cooked at the table!! The experience was new and definitely a must go!! My hubby really loved the potato salad and the pot stickers were the best in Springfield.

Hot plate takes forever to cook your food but service was excellent, make sure you have 2 hours to wait on your food to cook and ask for extra tongs because you will cross contaminate your food

Food and service was good. Sides were limited compared to other Korean BBQ places I've been to.
