I love Korean BBQ, and I’ve been to quite a few KBBQ spots around DFW. This place does a good job delivering a solid Korean BBQ experience. The staff takes great care of you, and they’ll even cook for you at times, which is a nice touch.

The reason I’m giving 3 out of 5 stars isn’t because anything was wrong—it really comes down to price and value. Compared to other KBBQ spots in the area, like Lee DaeGam KBBQ & Shabu or Seapot Korean BBQ, those places offer more options, more side dishes, and overall better bang for your buck.

I do wish the pricing here was more affordable for the amount of food offered, and that they included things like dessert or a buffet/sauce bar. That’s probably the biggest thing missing—the lack of a buffet or sauce bar really stands out.

Overall, I don’t dislike this restaurant at all, but for the price, I’d rather pay less, get more food, and choose one of the other KBBQ spots nearby.

Started out ok. We were seated and brought water/sides. Server asked if we'd been before to which we replied yes and herein began the problems. There were 3 of us, me female and hungry and 2 20/21 year old males. Hungry men. We ordered and were told it was too much food. I offered an example of what I knew they were capable of eating and she still insisted too much. My son set her straight and we ordered what we ordered. Then it really kicked off. Brisket - She was trying to serve us gray meat and I moved it to the middle for more color/flavor. She promptly turned off the flame. Next up pork belly. I wanted the fat a little more rendered again she disagreed and undid all of my arranging of the meat to cook to our standards. I let her know i wanted it a little more done. She got mad and sent a different server over - he was great didnt fuss with me and let the meat cook, even left the flame on. She came back for the pork bowl and same thing except this time she was immediately moving/turning back over everything I was trying to get cooked. I finally said I just freaking got that where I wanted it. (Uncooked pieces to the middle, toastier pieces to the outside and ocean again she literally flounder off - huffing and ponytail swinging and got the other waiter again. I told him we were fine if she didn't come back at all. Meanwhile I had to ask him to refill our drinks because she didn't. We finished out with the guy (they don't wear nametags) and all was well. He had no problem with cooking a little longer- even asked if it was charred enough. The bill was almost $300 which i don't mind EXCEPT that she was so awful. For that, I expected better service and food cooked the way we wanted it not whatever she was doing. I'd have understood if I was trying to undercook but I wasn't. Just a really bad experience and won't be going back. Spend your hard earned money where it's appreciated and not where they let their staff nearly ruin it.

Everything here was great. The side dishes are really good compared to other places and the meat options are good. I would continue to come here

I felt it was overpriced for what you got, and felt rushed. My daughter did not eat, yet she was still charged the full price. My son ended up cooking everything even though we were told they would cook it at your table, which was fine, except it was his birthday. I probably will not come back here again.

We waited so long before someone coming and start grill our meat and then it burned because they didn't come back to check it. It is the second time I had bad experience in this place.

We were charged twice for our meal. Although the restaurant said they voided one of the transactions, it still processed. For a $97 meal for two, we were billed $200. Now I have to work with my bank to get it resolved.

We ordered AYCE and enjoyed Korean BBQ and Sushi both. Their beef is really good and sushi is fresh as well. Much beyond our expectation.

Sue was absolutely amazing.
First time here and my mind was blown away. The difference in service from any other Korean bbq is huge. We never had to grab the tongs to cook our own meat, sue made sure that we had a great first experience.

We never once had to ask for a refill and had a wonderful conversation with sue throughout our time here.

Truly a 10/10 experience. Not to mention the food was absolutely fantastic.

Thank you Sue!!!

First time going here we had the pleasure of having Sue as our server and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Made the experience even better on top of the amazing food and atmosphere. Already a returning customer and all the staff are awesome.
