My wife and I went here today to have a good night out. We went inside the restaurant and asked about the All you can eat menu that they posted on Facebook, and the server confirmed that they do offer that. I’ve had kbbq many times at various kbbq eateries, so when I tell you this places failed miserably, please believe me.
First, the AYCE menu info isn’t posted on their menu they give you but they say you can order whatever you want on the menu, except for seafood and hotpot items. You can’t do kbbq and hotpot at the same time. Totally understandable, minus the seafood part. Prices for their AYCE menu were not posted….but trust me I’ll post it. Keep reading.
Anywho, we order the beef bulgogi. Our server starts setting up our table for the hot grill and it’s a metal bowl, black in color, does not grill meat well.
They bring all these little sides that were okay. Nothing special but standard.
The bulgogi was okay, not that great. We also ordered pork belly. The audacity that they bring out 2 thick slices of pork belly for us to grill, FROZEN solid. Just pulled out of the freezer.
So we let that thaw out and we ordered the Korean short rib (galbi). This meat typically comes marinated and has high marbling, let me tell you, it came unseasoned, and was probably a commodity cut, it was super tough, nothing tender about it.
We also ordered spicy pork belly and that was just okay, really no spicy flavor.
They only offered two sauces that were given on a small sauce holder. They only brought out one sauce tray for my wife and I instead of giving us our own. SMH
Anyways, it’s time to get the check and my wife tells me, “ you don’t wanna see this.” I look at the bill and they charged us $85.00 per person and on top of that they charged us an 18% service fee ($30.00) for ordering off the AYCE menu. It was just the two of us at the table, not 8. Total price was $217.00.
This place won’t be open for long, especially not at these prices. Prices dont match up to the quality. It was our fault for not asking the price of their AYCE menu, and i promise you that will be the last time that I dont ask for the price before ordering anything at any restaurant.
Any other review you see here praising the food of this place has no idea what good Korean food tastes like. This is my service announcement to the city of Laredo, do not waste your money on this establishment.

I always have an amazing experience, my favorite restaurants here in Laredo hands down. Everyone needs to come and visit, try everything on the menu it’s all authentic Korean food. Ask for the owner Jay and he will come and talk to you and explain the food to find what you will enjoy. The staff is really nice as well.

The service here is unacceptable. The manager is consistently rude to employees in front of customers and it creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. On top of that, instead of taking responsibility, the owner spends time being snarky and unprofessional in replies to negative reviews. The food is bland, overpriced, and simply not worth it. The restaurant itself looks outdated and messy. Rather than arguing with customers online, the owner should focus on improving the quality of the food, training staff properly, and cleaning up the place.

Food was so amazing and the staff were so sweet. They accidentally messed up one order but it was all no biggie because the meal they gave was so yummy! A really good place to visit especially if it’s your first time trying Korean food!

I came with my friends to help them try Korean BBQ, and everything was delicious. We had the seafood pancake as an appetizer, and I had the pork belly plate. My friend tried the Kimchi fried rice and the other friend had a type of Korean fried chicken. It was awesome, and service was great. Towards the closing time (We came near closing, so sorry TwT), the owner came around and showed us how to eat properly eat some the items. Overall, the experience was fantastic and appreciate the time the owner took explaining the food to us.
