A great location to visit for lunch. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The prices were extremely reasonable with a good selection. The side dishes were also delicious.

We walked in 30 mins before they closed, middle of the week on a slow night and they didn’t make us feel like we were a bother and the food was amazing. My first time trying Korean BBQ and I’m hooked.
Loved the house Japchae!!

Last night, I went there for the first time with my cousins. We went to this restaurant for the all-you-can-eat food. Even though we didn’t eat that much, and even though we asked for the check, the waiter came to our table and told us that we ate a lot and that the chef was upset about it. Then he said, “If you’re going to eat this much, you aren’t welcome again.” This was extremely disrespectful.
Also, everyone in our group has worked or currently works in the restaurant industry. Even though we were only four people, they automatically added the tip to our bill. We never leave less than a 20% tip, but what they did was still wrong in my opinion.
Last night was both the first and the last time I will ever go to that restaurant.
My brother and I have been regulars here for two months, usually once a week. Tonight we came with two friends we were very excited for our friends to have this experience —We ordered the $36 all-you-can-eat like always, plus drinks. Our bill came out to about $240, which already includes the automatic 18% gratuity they add every time regardless of the party size. Which I am totally okay with that, both me and my brother worked in the restaurants before we always tipped extra until tonight.
At the end, our server — who honestly looked a little too happy to say it — told us we “eat too much” and that they won’t be able to accommodate us anymore because the chef was upset we ate too much brisket. I was absolutely shocked and never seen something like this before.
Even if each of us ate two full pounds of meat (we definitely didn’t eat that much — but even if we did), there’s no universe where that should be a loss for a restaurant charging $36 per person before drinks. If you can’t handle customers actually eating, then don’t advertise all-you-can-eat.
We’ve never wasted food, never caused issues, and always tipped more than required on our previous visits. Being told we’re not welcome anymore for simply eating what we paid for was unprofessional, embarrassing, and honestly just ridiculous.

I highly recommend having the Spicy Beef Bulgogi or the Bibimbap. Friendly staff and the side dishes were some of the best we have ever had.

This place was delicious and such great value! It’s been a while since I’ve been to a Korean restaurant that still gives you side dishes. Great service and the staff is sweet. Will definitely come again!

Locally owned, food presentation, banchan was fresh, atmosphere was amazing, I have so many great things to say about this place. I have found my new Korean bbq spot! From the taste of the pork bulgogi to the service, everything was delicious and great! I stopped by on a Wednesday for lunch I just feel bad I didn’t get the servers name but he was great! Definitely worth 6 stars!! Will be coming back every time!!

The food and service here are absolutely 5 stars! Having lived in LA and traveled to Korea, I can honestly say this place feels like stepping right into an Ajuma’s house. I was craving Korean food after watching K-dramas and movies, and Buldaegi BBQ House delivered beyond my expectations.
I was shocked that it wasn’t packed on a Friday night—if this were in California, the wait would have been at least 2 hours! Even better, I learned it’s a woman-owned business with the owner as head chef and her son managing and serving. Such a special, authentic experience.
The restaurant is insanely clean, and I loved that I didn’t leave smelling like BBQ. The banchan (side dishes) are homemade, and my husband—who’s allergic to shrimp—was even able to enjoy the kimchi. Huge bonus points for offering steamed egg and cheese corn, which were both delicious!
At $34.99 for AYCE Korean BBQ, it’s an incredible deal, and Japanese beers are only $5. Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. I’m so happy I found a real Korean spot where I can truly enjoy authentic food. We’ll definitely be back!

Always amazing service - food is delicious - absolutely love the bulgogi, la galbi, my 5 year old demolishes baby octopus, the cucumber kimchi banchan I could live off of. All the banchan is stellar. Corn cheese is perfectly balanced. We've been going here since moving nearby for the last year and have no complaints. Kind service, so consistent and fresh.

I have been here twice and I am going to be adding this place to my regular rotation. The Dolsat BiBimBap was awesome. the waiter was very kind. All of the Banchan is made in house, which is why that kimchi tasted absolutely fresh. the prices are absolutely reasonable. Why wait in line at another korean restaurant when you can support a local family owned korean place!

Love this place. The meat quality is way better than all you can eat chain restaurants in Cary or Raleigh. Even their side dishes. We are from San Diego and this place is our to go from now on
