Food was good but the service was very slow and disappointing. I guess the only good thing from the place was the bbq. We had to wait long to order, to have water refill, bbq sauce, and extra bowl for our soup.. so, did we like the food? Yes. Do we wanna go back?

I hate to leave only 3 stars, I normally love this place. But last time I went, I got food poisoning from their (probably less frequently ordered) teriyaki chicken. I just hope they check the expiration dates of all the ingredients they're using.

I came here on the recommendation of someone who had been there. Every menu item was delicious and the meat was grilled.The side dishes are neat and diverse, making it my first Korean meal in a long time.I was really satisfied with my meal~^^The menu is so diverse that I want to visit every day and try different menu items. It's the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to♡

I came here to celebrate my birthday and my recent obsession with K Dramas and the food did not disappoint! It felt like I discovered a little hole in the wall. The service was warm and welcoming and they took their time to explain how things go with Korean bbq for a first timer like me. My friends and I enjoyed soju (bomb!), the chicken, beef, and pork bbq mix (bomb!), and I got Jajangmeon ?. The prices were very affortable and the atmosphere was lively but not chaotic. They even had available parking for guests which is like a dream come true in Baltimore. Definitely will be coming here again!

Great food and fun experience! Be sure to check out the private karaoke rooms upstairs. The dining space is a little smokey though. Memorable night out!

The food is still good but went recently and the service was really really really slow. We waited over 30 minutes before someone took our orders and refills on water were non-existent. There is a card on the table that says customers should be more responsible for cooking but the server came to say they were going to cook which gave a sense of awkwardness and unclarity.

This is my favorite place to go for Korean BBQ. What makes this restaurant stand out from the rest is the charcoal grill. The taste you get from that compared to the gas burning grills does not compare.

Slightly sketchy area, (and I say that from living in a 2 mile radius from this place for the last 8 years.) Besides that, the food was amazing. Went with a half bbq #3 for 2 people. The amount of meat and 11 types of sides, soup and boiled egg just absolutely stuffed us both and it was pretty damn delicious to!Kid-friendliness: I didn't bring my children, but the atmosphere they have is child friendly. They also have booster seats and a fun fish(?) To take pictures with

I occasionally order the bulgogi and spicy pork and the taste has gone down. Sometimes it has a funny taste to it and or isn’t the same from the last as if they have a new chef who adds too much of a certain ingredient and it overpowers the whole dish. Idk but my family has came here for years mostly take-out and the taste has changed and smaller portions. Everytime I have ordered within 2023 something was off or missing my extra rice I paid for. Discouraging especially when your spending atleast $50Parking: Parking can be difficult. If the area or restaurant is busyWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible

Wow the price for food here is outrageous expensive! The food isn’t even all that good other than the Korean BBQ ! Only reason the Korean BBQ is good is because they cook it on open fire other than that all other food is mediocre nothing special with Michelin star prices. Unless ur getting Korean BBQ I wouldn’t go here ! Hmart or lotte food market or food court has same food at half the price. Just to give u an example kimchi soup here is 17 dollars before tax and tip ! At food market it’s 8-9 bucks ! It’s insane they are charging that much ! Straight robbery !

Whenever I am in Baltimore, I eat here. My then-boyfriend-now-hubby found this place for our first day trip to Baltimore, and we went at least 6 times in the last 2 years. It is so far the only place in the DMV area we know that uses actual coal to grill your meat. And omg, they always make it perfect! For Korean dishes, they are also pretty authentic as well. The area around it may not be the best, but for the quality and taste of the food that these guys provide, we keep on returning.
