Great tasting food. Loved the grill and excellent meats.

We had dinner for KBBQ. It took time to have grill warm up. We waited some time so that meats were fully cooked. Shrimp was frozen for a long time because of the black spots on the shell. Beef was just defrosted because there was ice on it. It’s a meal making you feel full.

We have eaten here a couple of times before and had felt it was much better than what he had this time around. We still enjoyed it and the food was delicious. Our server was a bit harried and seemed to lose track of what she was doing and forgot about us a few times. Overall it was okay because we were in no rush and we enjoyed the evening catching up with old friends, but the service definitely could have been improved on.We had the all-you-can-eat BBQ - Kalbi, bulgogi, spicy bulgogi, and spicy pork bulgogi. All tasted great, the spicy pork is cooked in the back do to health and safety concerns if it is undercooked, which was great because it was really well prepared. We only received a few leafs of lettuce and so we had to just eat the meat without the wrap, the sauces were not the traditional gochujang and doenjang I am accustomed to, they were runny versions of each to it made it hard to eat the wraps anyway.Overall still a good eating experience.

Selection of foods on the menu was much less than other KBBQ places we've gone. We expected much more especially with their raised prices. Simple basics like lettuce and steamed eggs weren't available. There is no option to get your own sauces and/or sides. Flavor was lacking from both the meat and the side dishes. Staff was friendly and quick, but we won't be back.

super old dive type of place food was not very good,coffee was cold and watery there was a foul odor that permeated the restaurant and was on the expensive for disgusting tasting really gross food. I wanted to order something off the dinner menu and agreed to pay extra but because of the rules I couldn't get that unless everybody at the table got it it's ridiculous.the people I went with had the all you can eat Korean barbecue and it looked like they reheated it from last week and it tasted like they reheated it from last month.

I went to EJO with a group of friends, it was 6 of us. We got there on a Wednesday night at 7pm and were surprised to have the whole place restaurant to ourselves. The atmosphere was nice but felt cold because of it being so empty. Our server was extremely helpful, even helped us decide what to order. The food was really good and getting to grill it ourselves on the grill at our table was an experience. However, the hours on Yelp and Google didn't match up, turns out the restaurant closed at 8:30pm instead of 9:00pm that is listed on Yelp. Overall a great experience but probably wouldn't go back.

This place made us sick. We ordered 3 different dishes, they all came out lightning fast and looked old. Like reheated leftovers from days ago. My japchae was so chewy I could hardly eat it (I barely ate any) and the glass noodles were not clear at all. The bulgogi seemed over marinated like it had been sitting for some time. We are now ill from what little we ate. Do not eat here.

Good beef and pork. The chicken is precooked as is the octopus. I think this is because the grills are not able to turn up to a very high heat. Besides didn’t seem to be as fresh as I have had it other comparably priced Korean barbecues. Our server, Jun, was wonderful and very attentive.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the sides were all very great. Korean BBQ is so much fun and all the meats were of great quality.

I have eaten at several Korean restaurants and would rate this one as mediocre. We bought the all you can eat Korean barbecue and found a Groupon for it. When we were at the restaurant there was a menu with the all you can eat barbecue and on the back several other traditional items that are not included, so the all you can eat seemed deceiving. I had my favorite Bulgogi but it was just OK. There were not as many sides as usually come at a Korean restaurant. They didn’t have the traditional bean paste, they only had one that was hot. This restaurant seemed more American Korean to me. Not one Korean or Asian person in there which should have been a sign. We were traveling and thought we would try it since it had good reviews, but we were disappointed. Our server was super nice though.
This place definitely need to hire more servers. We had a girl serve us but she was not friendly, never once ask to change the grill for us. Food is okay but is so limited in option. We bought a groupon deal for 4 people but they did not honor the deal and charged us extra. Overall I would spend the extra money at KOU for a much better experience overall.

Just as you might expect, korean food in Utah of all places is not going to be a good idea. Although my experience wasn't terrible, it would be what I would call a very "home cooked" restaurant. It isn't bad but isn't professional quality. It's the type of food my mom would cook when she was feeling kinda lazy. Yes I am Korean so I would know.

The all you can eat price is pretty good for the amount of variety you're able to order. The customer service could have been better. I felt like our server could have checked in on us more regularly. We could have had more water refills and more banchan refills, but he did bring us everything we asked for in a timely manner. We have been to this restaurant multiple times over the course of a few years. Service varies depending on who your server is. We will come back though, because we like the cost and the variety in the menu.

May was our waitress and she was great. The food was very good. We did the all you can eat and it was very good. You cook the meat yourself which I liked. When you’re the only white people when you walk in and everyone looks at you, you know it’s going to slap.
