I called ahead to make sure it was not busy on Sunday afternoon at 3pm I arrived the place was almost empty. The host sat me down and gave me 2 menus. At 3:35 I was trying to get someone's attention but no one made eye contact with me. Given that I was the only black person in there made me suspicious of why I was being treated like I was invisible. People came in and were served before me. Still I sat there. Finally, I called out to the server and told her I was ready to order, she said ok and walked away. It was 3:39. At 3:41 a server walked past me and I called her, she looked right at me and walked away. I'm a loval resident of the town and was made to feel so small. It was humiliation. I have money and it's not like I was not presentable, I just left church so I was looking cute... all I got was a cold shower, they are not hiding their prejudice at so good in closter. Enjoy your meal there if you not black.. if you are, don't go there... finally at 4: 00 pm I took my way out of there feeling very bad.

The first time I came I had a delicious meal and received really great service. However, I came in today and ordered the pork belly and the so good kalbi. The kalbi was fine. But the pork belly was frozen when it hit the grill and so the meat was tough to eat and not enjoyable. It’s not supposed to be frozen when it comes to the table. It was really disappointing. I hope that they can improve their service to ensure that the meat is properly prepared for guests to eat and enjoy.

Nice and clean, we had a big group of ppl and the staff was cooking for us. Didn't really enjoy the veggie bibinbap because the veggies were getting burnt by the hot plate. Otherwise delicious meats.

Fun Korean BBQ spot in Closter. The banchan hits all the right notes—solid kimchi, crisp pickled radish, and a soft steamed egg that’s surprisingly good. You cook your own meat on a super hot grill and the unmarinated beef is gluten-free. Each table’s well ventilated, so it’s not smoky or stuffy. Delicious food, good setup, wonderful spot to enjoy a night out with friends.
Vegetarian options: This is a KOREAN BBQ so majority of the tables will be ordering raw meat that is cooked at the table.
I've been here a few times, but I’m not sure I’ll be back. There’s a middle-aged female server who, on the surface, may seem friendly, but her demeanor has a strong undercurrent of passive aggression. She appears annoyed whenever we ask for something, and the way she phrases her responses feels unnecessarily passive aggressive. It creates an uncomfortable atmosphere where you have to be overly mindful of everything, making it hard to relax and enjoy the meal. For some reason, we always seem to get seated in her section. Service definitely needs work here!

This place really is SO GOOD. Went here with my grandparents last summer and a few times with my parents, and everyone was friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and I like the menu choices. Place is also clean and nicely maintained.
Wheelchair accessibility: When I went with my grandparents, the servers helped us get in and out, as my grandfather was in a wheelchair. They also helped him get seated, and were very kind and considerate during the time we were there.
