This is my boyfriend and my favorite restaurant in the mass area!! The value of the food is great and it’s delicious but the service is what makes it truly 5+ stars. Alex is truly the most attentive and kind person ever! He’s attended our table so many times and every single time, does a phenomenal job. Thank you so much Alex for everything!! You’re the best 🤩

I want my sons to go to college near here just so we can keep coming back! The food was delicious. And, we could feed our bottomless pits - also known as our 6’3” twin sons - without going bankrupt: We had a truly excellent experience! Can’t wait to come back!

Staff are very friendly and are constantly picking up used dishes, changing the grill, and refilling water. Meat selection is diverse. All you can eat sides. Overall great food for great value

Chaotic, cross contamination nightmare.

If you have any allergy’s, try to stray away. Buffet style restaurants and a lot of the customers were using the same utensils for raw meat and cooked foods… the fridge that was self service for meats was opened for half the time we were there. we ordered some food and drinks using the app and didn’t get half of our drinks and we were almost charged for them. I refused to eat after seeing a mouse run by my foot so can’t say much about the taste, but won’t be going back.

I will add that I tried to go there about a year ago and they also refused to give us a table an hour before close.

Servers were clearly busy and over worked but still did a great job.

This meal was worth every last dime. Everything from the food to service was spectacular. Even though it’s a self service food bar, they make sure you’re taken care of. Very close attention to detail. As soon as I needed a grill change, they were there. Never needed to ask. There were several different people helping me throughout and proactively giving me the needed materials. This place has definitely improved over the years with its new system

This has become our go-to KBBQ place in Boston. We’ve tried others and this is the best. The self serve option is great too for things like rice and corn cheese.

This is my go to place when I want some good barbecue :) The price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you can get. My favorite is the prime brisket (•̀ᴗ•́)و Their complimentary side dishes and sauces are also delicious! The staff are also friendly and helpful, plus the interior is pretty, yet homey. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

A few days ago, my husband and I made a reservation at this Korean barbecue restaurant. When we arrived, they didn’t check our reservation though it wasn’t very busy, so we didn’t mind and were seated quickly. The place looked clean and organized at first glance, but be careful of the booths when I sat down, a sharp metal piece under the table actually sliced my leg. That alone was a rough start.

When it came time to start grilling, we noticed that there were no real sauce options, which felt odd, especially considering all the raw meat was just sitting in a fridge on the floor for self-service. The meat itself was extremely fatty they really should have trimmed it better.

They did have an appetizer section with things like rice noodles and other small bites, but most of it was mushy, cold, and unappealing. Definitely not my taste.

Our waiter was awkward the whole time. We asked what the bottled sauces on our table were just wanting to know if they were spicy or sweet and his only response was, “Just try it, you’ll like it.” Which felt dismissive and unhelpful. Later, when asking about drink options and whether there were refills, we had to speak to three different staff members before finally being told no only bottled drinks were available, which seemed strange for an all-you-can-eat spot.

The staff also had a weird, hovering vibe. At one point, we had just taken meat off the grill and someone came by, removed the grill plate mid-meal, and then returned minutes later with a new one. We weren’t even done cooking and weren’t asked—it just happened.

Unfortunately, the next day, both my husband and I woke up feeling sick. We can’t be 100% sure it was from this place, but it was the only thing we had eaten that day, which raises concerns.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this spot for Korean barbecue. It was disorganized, uncomfortable, and not great quality, with some serious food safety and service red flags

This BBQ place offers a great variety of options - very diverse and something for everyone. The steamed egg was especially delicious - soft, savory, and naturally sweet. Overall, it’s a great spot, though I’d say it’s better suited for colder weather. It gets a bit warm inside during the summer.
