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...
