Sindy GunawanJuly 29, 2013It's all-you-can-eat with a 2 hour time limits. They only allow 3 orders at a time, so you have to finish cooking and eating it before making a new order. The food was good and it has k-pop ambience.
Max BrautigamJuly 19, 2019Get the most for your money by eating very little of the sides and focusing on the meat! Also, make sure not to leave any meat uneaten to avoid a surcharge!
Christie HeikkinenNovember 2, 2012Order makkoli and soju for drinks, and get the more expensive AUCE option - the bulgogi is worth it!
Helen ZhangSeptember 16, 2015Decent priced spot where large groups can get together for dinner. You will leave smelling like BBQ though
The fire squid is delicious and pretty spicy! The marinated beef is great and you can keep ordering more plates
Robert (RJ) YumolMarch 20, 2013Awesome place for daytime work or reflection. Wifi, quiet, and they have spam musubi for homesick Hawaii-born types.
Ugur KanerFebruary 18, 2015If you are a meat or Korean food fan; this is your place. Come and feast. Just don't get your tummy to explode.
Dust AgentNovember 20, 2011Stick with the beef brisket, short rib, pork belly, and spicy pork belly. Definitely not a fan of the pork skin. Everything else..yum!!!
Lucas GardnerOctober 28, 2019Get the brisket and avoid the octopus (unless you like it REALLY spicy). :)
Marinated beef, spicy & miso pork belly are good, they know how to marinate well
The steamed egg is great. In terms of meat, Kal-bi is your best bet. The others aren't seasoned nearly as well.
Diane W.June 23, 2014AYCE Korean BBQ! Self-serviced grill and they charge you for whatever you don't finish. Not bad for dinner with friends, but not the greatest cuts of meat.
Fred Stevens-SmithNovember 1, 2015Mediocre. Service, meat, banchan all super meh. For some reason it's super popular. You'll leave here stinking of bbq, they don't have decent extraction.
Masha GalitskaiaDecember 1, 2013Coffee is not especially good and everything is expensive. But they have books, table games, chess and cool music.
ivy♥February 9, 2012The quality has gone down hill! Most meats are not good. I guess the only thing that is somewhat decent is their galbi. A good place to visit if you're really hungry and low on budget.
Sarah Judd WelchAugust 20, 2012Miso pork belly (you have to specifically ask for miso), short ribs and beef tongue.
- Jon ChiangNovember 14, 2011Very good food in general; miso pork belly is really good. Place gets very smoky though.
Gürkan GezginAugust 2, 2013I wanted to post some pics but my hands never got a break from eating the amazing food the whole time!
Linh NguyenJune 17, 2012expect a very loooooooooong wait. was waiting for more than 2 hours on a saturday night. and they don't take reservations for groups that have less than 8 people.
Okcaw LyJanuary 30, 2014Really really bad service. Too many rules. Food quality was good. Not great. Don't know why people rave on the steamed egg and brisket, mediocre at best
Nhung TranJune 17, 2013Meat was good. Short ribs were our fav but we were told that it was limited one portion per head :-< Music was really loud.
Nathalie BernalJune 8, 2012Their pretty good, but their macaroons are a bit expensive!!! -.- that's kind of a turn off.
Christian FengDecember 30, 2011They restrict the amount of Spare Ribs you can order. Other than that it's decent.
