Refuses single diners willing to pay. They never offered an accomodation and outright refused service for being a party of 1, despite 20+ empty tables at their restaurant. Clearly they have crap management who don’t want to maximize on slow weeknights.

Dynamite restaurant and well worth every dollar ! They have the largest Korean menu around and the food is magical which makes it the perfect place to go for the Korean experience . The owners and staff are top notch and know how to lay the hospitality down so the visit just gets better . They have the largest selection of authentic Korean beverages if you want a drink to help you unwind .

Meats (ribs and bulgogi), veggies, and banchan were great but the pajeon wasn't doing it for me. Be prepared to come with a big appetite and leave smelling like BBQ. It's good and I'll be back!

Went here on Sunday afternoon, so off hours and it was fantastic. We did the AYCE ans the side dishes were delicious and so were all the meats we got. I particularly loved the fish cake side dish. Servers were wonderful and when I mentioned I can't eat garlic they marked on the menu for me which items I could and couldn't have which was so nice! Ate worry free :) Ate my weight in brisket with my post-marathon friends and we all had a great time. We got the basic AYCE package and that was plenty options for us.

Dietary restrictions: Have plenty of garlic-free options for those like me who can't digest it well and suffer for it.

SERVER NAME TRUNG L DID NOT HAVE A SKILL TO BE A SERVER. HE WAS ARGUED TO CUSTOMER AND RAISED HIS VOICE. SLAMMING THE GRILL IN FRONT OF CUSTOMER’S FACE. WHAT A RUDE SERVICE .

The servers are very unfriendly. The side dishes are old and tasteless and there are too few of them. They changed the grill once and never once asked if I needed anything. When I asked for a drink refill, their expressions were strange and the staff didn't do any work and only talked on their phones in the background and had no intention of working.

Took the whole family. They were prompt with the food and making sure we had everything we needed. It was fun cooking it ourselves. We took a neighbor kid with us for the birthday party and she had fun cooking and participating. It's a great way to get everyone at the table interacting with dinner. We will go again.

Food is tasty. Service is average. We went around 10 pm on Saturday (closing at midnight on Sat.) They just don’t have any good vibes. Workers works quietly, and no smiling. That night all workers were males. I felt a bit weird…but I have no complaints. Not upbeat restaurant but just average. I can’t find something I like or I don’t like. Just food was tasty and I think I will go back again.

Terrible service. We waited at the entrance for over 10 minutes before the host asked our name and how big our party was. We were never offered drinks other than the water we were given. The meat was good and came out quickly. However, there were issues with communicating and getting answers to our questions. For instance, the meal includes "sides" so we asked the server what the sides were and how we order them. She directed us to the list of appetizers, so we ordered two. Then, when our check came, the appetizers were charged separately and she said that the only "sides" included were the sauces and garnishes already on the table when we sat. When we asked about fried chicken options (which were listed on their menu online), one server said they didn't have it and another said he would ask about it in the kitchen, then brought us something that was not fried chicken. Overall, the food was good, but not good enough to offset the quality of service.

We had an awesome time at Kkoki! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of flavors and perfectly cooked meats. The service was top-notch; the staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

The only small issue was with the air conditioning—it was a bit too warm inside. However, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We still had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Kkoki to anyone looking for a great Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be back!

Food was good but service took for ever. I would have to wave people down for a drink of water. It seemed as if their is no system in place for servirse and tables. While i was in line at the counter their were 4 servers standing by the counter doing nothing.

30 minutes at the table and we didn’t even get a water. Server walks over n says “oh we’re backed up right now just be patient”. Rude and disrespectful
