KOU-Korean BBQ in Utah offers an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) experience for $35, which many see as good value for the quality of the meat. The restaurant features a clean and nicely decorated interior, making for a pleasant dining environment. The staff are attentive and helpful, often changing the grill during a visit to keep the meat fresh. Customers consistently praise the proteins for being fresh, well-seasoned, and tender. Many note that the quality of the meat is excellent and the buffet style service is convenient, with waiters frequently checking if diners are ready for more.
The sides are appreciated, with some reviews mentioning they are great. One reviewer liked not having to ask for lettuce and ssamjang for samgyeopsal, as they are provided automatically. The Korean fried chicken received mixed reviews—some found it good but not great, preferring another local spot. The kimchi was noted as needing improvement, and the ssamjang was described as pasty.
While some customers felt the variety of banchan was limited, offering only cucumber salad, pickled radishes, and kimchi, the overall quality of the meats and service left a positive impression. Prices are higher for adults, but children of a certain height can eat for free. Some questioned the authenticity of the Korean cuisine, but the freshness and quality of the meats were praised, making it a recommended spot for those seeking a satisfying Korean BBQ experience. The booths are large and comfortable, and the service is quick and attentive, ensuring a good dining experience.
