Food: We had two of the regular plans with no addons which came out to about ~$80 before tip. The meats + sides were yummy, nothing crazy but a good dinner for the price. Our favorite meats were the flat iron steak, thinly sliced brisket, marinated short ribs, and marinated bulgogi, all of which were juicy and flavorful, while our favorite sides were the seafood tofu soup and bean paste (I think this was just a poorly translated peanut sauce? I wish they had a non-spicy version but it was good regardless). Lots of condiments + S&P offered on a little shelf next to our table. A sauce bar would really elevate the place. The rice was fine but it had a bit of a tougher layer on top like it had been sitting out awhile. Mac salad was not good. Overall the food was great though, however, our complimentary ice cream at the end was sad cups of completely melted room temperature strawberry ice cream. Not sure how that happened because I saw the server pulling it out a fridge/freezer near the kitchen. I wish the corn cheese wasn't an extra charge. I understand that it is a larger portion, but I feel like they should offer smaller portions of it included with the regular plan like most KBBQ

This has been my go-to spot for Korean BBQ and I’ve returned multiple times. It’s a reliable choice when I’m craving kbbq, and overall the experience has consistently been strong. The meat quality is solid and pairs well with the sauces they provide. Everything grills nicely and delivers on flavor, which is the main reason I keep coming back. It’s a dependable place if you’re looking for satisfying barbecue without overcomplicating things. Service has always been attentive, with servers and hosts checking in regularly & exchange the grill without us asking. The only downside is the atmosphere, specifically the floor can get oily and slippery, so be mindful of your footwear. Aside from that, everything else has been great.

Overall Very good, meats were ok better than Gen but -1 star because why was the front receptionist was answering the phone and talking for so long while there was a line of people waiting. I feel like customers there should be prioritized and the caller should be left on hold first. Didnt really like this kind of grill because it was ‘sticky’ if you know what i mean didnt really give the best charr compare to other type of kbbq grill Table was quite small but its ok not a big deal to me Still had a good meal, would come back again bc its good for price compared to other kbbq

Went here on a Friday, the wait was about 2 hours but if you get on the waitlist about 2 hours prior then you can gauge a better time to come, however you need to be in range to join the list. Surprisingly this Friday wasn’t as packed but still a full house. The food came out fast and was good quality as we got the premium selection so you know we had to get the wagyu option. I’d stay clear of all the marinated meets until you get everything else first. The reason why is because the marinated meat will crust of that cook top like no other and it will start to burn; then you’ll have to get a grill change and start over. No hard but just a hassle. Plenty of seating and roomy as long as you sit down and don’t move. The tables are shorter which gives you the closeness vibe to those you eat it. Will come again and again.

Came on a Friday since they open early Fri-Sun but otherwise 5 PM. So off the bat they are pretty solid, sides aren't that great but it's fine but the meats are all above average. Going with premium is the way to go if you've never visited. Overall price and quality it's solid so would recommend if their hours are workable with you.
