I usually do not write reviews but my son who is a notoriously picky eater insisted on giving five stars and my family agrees. We have been here multiple times and my family loves the service and food. My kids love the wide selection of meats and flavors. It is by far the best and most traditional Korean BBQ with sides and all in Clarksville.

My wife is Korean and we always enjoyed this restaurant dishes straight from the menu. Good……… This last trip- I brot “first timer” guests who wanted the unlimited bbq….. not a fan. Lotsa mid to low grade food - tons of food. Side dishes- weak, no kalbi on unlimited menu, no lettuce, no garlic, no sesame leaves….. meh. The waitress (not Korean) only refilled the side dishes which we already didnt eat. My guests were not impressed- not a good experience. If you want quantity over quality - order the unlimited bbq.

Husband and I tried the unlimited BBQ. We had never done it before, so we asked our server to explain the differences. She was very sweet and told us how it works. We tried all the spicy options and all the kimchi options. It was AMAZING! And what a great experience getting to cook your own food. Hot, fresh, flavorful, and delicious. We were not disappointed, even with the $34.99 each price tag. Highly highly recommend

So disappointed, over priced and everything was so sweet and thick pasty sauce , that's not "tang " as Korean soup/ stew type . It's all Americanized . If you want Real Korean food . Try somewhere else. As Korean / America, embarrassing to say that's Korean food . Definitely need to improve.

My waiter was very patient and polite. He showed me all of their options and waited until I decided. He got me a plum tea even though it was close to closing time. He made my first visit nice. Food is a solid 10/10 even for the pickiest palates. Honestly, it's so delicious.

My wife and I had dinner here midweek. Ordered the bibimbab and was not disappointed. The portions were ample and everything was very tasty. We will come back again to try the table side bbq, no doubt. As far as price, we thought it was a very good bargain for the quality and amount of food served.

I was looking for an all you can eat KBBQ, but found this gem! I ordered the fried squid and the spicy bulgogi. The food was amazing! The spicy bulgogi was the best I ever had! Unfortunately wasn't able to stay to eat, but I took my bulgogi to go!Our hostess was super sweet and and was worried that there might have been something wrong with the food due to me leaving early, but I assured her that was not the case at all!Will definitely be back for more!

I've had a ton of Korean bbq I've traveled overseas but this is by far the WORST! Which is crazy with all these reviews. That's why we tried it... The meats had 0 flavor, the sides were not good, the dipping sauce had no flavor, and the grill was barely functioning. Also, first Korean bbq I've ever been to that uses butter on the grill before putting the meat on. We were celebrating my pregnant wife's bday and she was so disappointed that we ended up cutting our bill early and leaving. We didn't make a fuss about paying full price or even for the wasted meat which is an extra $20 (that's how bad it was that we just wanted to pay and get out of there) but for us this is not a good Korean bbq.

Stumbled on this place while road tripping through the Carolinas/Tennessee. We elected to order from the menu instead of doing the all-you-can eat BBQ. My brother had the Bulgogi with rice and I have Bibimbap. Both were delicious. We also both had plum teas which was delicious as usual. Korean BBQ is a usually a reliable choice and Naru didn't disappoint. Fresh, delicious food that is healthy and leaves you feeling satisfied.
For taste, the food was very good. My concern was for hygiene. The one tong and scissors we were given were for handling the raw meat and then pulling out the cooked meat before moving onto the next raw meat. The soup came in one bowl with 5 spoons which we were all to eat from. (Since I was just getting over a virus I asked for several small bowls.) We all ate out of the little dishes with our chopsticks we were already eating with. It felt like double dipping. It seemed so against food inspection rules. I’m too concerned about contamination to eat like that again there. Ironically I had a touch of stomach flu or possibly food poisoning the next day.

Went for our first time and kinda disappointed with how long we had to wait for our meals/drinks even after pressing call button multiple times. We didn't do the grill only off the menu. Food was good when it did come (at separate times) but we did not plan to stay there for almost 2 hours. Will probably check out another local Korean restaurant to compare as I love this type of cuisine.

Unfortunately, it looks like they got new management and things have changed. First, they won't give you a table for six people until everyone was there. Ok, I got that, although, there was no one waiting and the restaurant was not full. But I get why they do it. Then, the all you can eat barbecue meat now is $35 per person instead of $120 or so per table of six. It was never "all you can eat" but it was plenty for six people. I get that too, prices have gone up. Then, they didn't have lettuce for the barbecue, really? Then the waitress said she would ask because we said otherwise we wouldn't order the meat. Finally, she came back and said they have some but they just have wash it. Ok, we wait. At the end I was going to leave $25 tips for the young nice waitress but someone in my group red in fine print on the receipt that a gratuity of 26% or 28% was added to the bill for groups of six or more. So we asked for clarification and again we had to wait for the waitress to ask. Indeed, the $163 already had a 26% imposed gratuity. I almost doubletiped over $50 and they would have kept it too. Never coming back.

Amazing food amazing service! Our waiters were on top of it and extremely attentive. The food was authentic and extremely filling. The environment was upscale and pleasant.

Came in on a Tuesday evening so it wasn’t busy at all. Staff was friendly and everything came super fast! I was suuuuper stuffed and the ice cream at the end just made everything great ? They do have high chairs for toddlers
