“This was my first experience with Korean BBQ, and it did NOT disappoint. We took our five and eight year old children and had a blast.Our server was phenomenal. She explained everything to us wonderfully, was extremely friendly and welcoming, and refilled our rice, water, and other foods appropriately and promptly. She even offered to grill our food for us, although we declined this time. She alone made the experience worthy of a 6? review.The food was also pleasantly scrumptious. We ordered the dumplings appetizer, as well as an order of japchae for us to all share. I've only had the pleasure of trying japchae a couple times before, but this was by far the best one I've had. To finish it off, we ordered the beef combo, which came with four different varieties of beef, and plenty to go around, too! All were delicious, and the kids loved the non-marinated meats in particular.The grill was hot, didn't overtake the entire table, yet had plenty of room for plenty of food to fit on it, and not a single thing that came off the grill managed to disappoint. Meat was tender and juicy, flavorful with or without the provided sauces, and we even tried a couple things like pickled cucumber and kimchi on the grill with great results.Finally, the entire establishment was spotless, smelled clean, and was highly welcoming. However, be prepared for there to be a line minutes before opening. We managed to fit in, and they do take reservations, but they were not necessary for us this time.Overall, the entire experience was amazing. We will definitely be visiting this particular spot the next time we're craving Korean BBQ.Vegetarian options: There are several options that would appeal to vegetarians. They are all clearly labeled, although some options such as the japchae are meant to be shared amongst the party.Parking: We had to parallel park.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of food available that most kids would enjoy. Steak, rice, noodles, etc. Staff is SUPER friendly.“

Asked for water and had to again after several minutes. the didn't have a Wood ridge cab in stock.I asked for a 6oz any cab. He gave me an 9 oz. We both asked for med rare, she got and mine was close to medium. I will say the both were very good, The salads were excellent. the price was reasonable. I would go again.“

All of the staff really goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. They currently just have one location in town, but they need to open another one next door to my house! ...and the prices are great too! They give a ton of homecut fries.“

“Good neighborhood bar. We stayed at an airbnb across the street and y'all know the very best bar is a bar you can walk to. Great beer selection, good prices. The night I was there Buffalo Trace was $4! Music was ON POINT. We did order the food special of the night... some kind of siracha sausage sandwich and it was really underwhelming, but I think this probably just isn't a bar that's known for its food. For what it's worth, the onion rings were good and crispy. Not a big crowd on a Tuesday night in March, but I'd imagine it's hopping on the weekends.“

I am always on the lookout for beef tenderloin and other meats at a good prices and found them there. I didn't get one but their meat 'bundles' seem like a great value! They even trimmed up my tenderloin for me and cut it into gorgeous filets! This small, local business is doing it 100% right and it is now my go to meat market. Bye Bye K-word! :-)“

“If you love great barbecue, this restaurant should be on your list. I tried the pulled pork sandwich. First let me say, the portion was generous, the meat was piled high on the toasted bun. I added the original bbq sauce, but there are several heat levels when it comes to sauces. Next the sides, I had the creamy coleslaw, which by the way is shredded not chopped (my preference) let me just say it was delicious. My second side was the collard greens with pork seasoning, totally delicious with a little bite. All of the sides offered look amazing. The choices of meats, sides, and yes fresh baked sweet cornbread is also a side. The Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Dining in there are plenty of tables. Parking is more than ample. I totally recommend this restaurant for it delicious food and the prices are more than reasonable for the food portions. I hope you go and enjoy the food as much as I did. Bon Appétit ????Parking: This is the Popular Level location, adjacent to Kroger, Big Lots, and Planet Fitness.“
