Best meat, drinks and service! Honestly the best kbbq I've had, I make the trek over from DTLA just to eat here. The employees are extremely attentive and generous. They kindly refilled my favourite side dishes multiple times without hesitation. I wasn't sure which beer to get and they gave me the perfect recommendation. Despite the restaurant being full, the ambiance is still decently quiet and relaxing. I can't recommend this place enough!!!

As a Korean born and raised in Korea, the food is pretty good. However, foods are a bit too sweet overall. Especially dweijibulgogi (port bulgogi) and bibim nangmyeon.Only ate in store once, but had food delivered over 20 times. My all time favorites are dooroochigi and rice cake soup with mandoo.

Clueless staff, the lady at the front desk acts uninterested in her job and doesn’t seem to care about answering guests questions

Just a follow up to the first review. Everything remains the same. Just a heads up. First the cost, it's not cheap. Expect to pay the higher range if you want a wide selection of quality meats. At least $50+ per adult or more if you enjoy drinks etc. Secondly, they can get very busy so make a reservations. And when it is busy, it's hard to get the food server's attention. They are working hard and can seem to be a little grouchy. They are grilling the meats for every Or go early when it isn't busy.

My husband and I love the food here. The service is great and everything was really clean. I actually prefer it to an AYCE location because they let you take the food home and you don't feel forced to eat everything in one sitting. We will definitely be back!

I love this place not just for KBBQ, but for other Korean comfort foods. It was a cold day and I wanted to try their Budae-Jjigae (army stew), because I've seen other diners order it and it looks amazing. I came here on a Saturday evening and it was bustling. Luckily there was an open table for us so we got seated quickly. There were only two ladies working at the time, so they were busy running around, but we didn't mind waiting. I was busy snacking on the yummy banchan- their kimchi is addicting! We ordered the budae-jjigae and it was enough for at least four people. The stew was filled with cuts of sausage, spam, kimchi, onion, beef, tofu, and a block of ramen noodles. It was placed on the table stove-top so it was constantly boiling. The flavor was so tasty and I loved all the ingredients inside. I was very pleased with this dish and I will be returning just to get this again.

This review is only for the galbitang, budaejjigae and the seafood pancake - we're newer to the area and this is the Korean restaurant we frequent. When we hosted a NYE party at our house with almost 25 people, the only thing we catered was from here - 3 orders of the budaejjigae and everyone loved it! Everything is solid here and I like their kimchi a lot - it's the kind that isn't too fermented but has enough garlic and spice. We'll have to come back for the actual BBQ

If you don't see Koreans in a Korean restaurant then you know it's a red flag... especially in a city full of Koreans. Service is horrible here. Price is ridiculous compare to what you pay for.. definitely will not be coming back here.
Ordered the Bibimbap and the stone plate bibimbap it was bland. We asked for more tea and never came. And there was a draft where we sat. Safe to say we’re not going back. The redeeming factor was the dumplings.
LA county Food Establishment Health Code is A.No reservation was needed to dine here; parking which is shared with other businesses is ample and free. Front desk customer service is not 5 star but you don't expect it in a small kitchen like this where all staff are busy; we came here for dinner and we were seated immediately; side sauces are clean and filled up; the ambience is fair, spacing is a bit condensed; cutlery, table and floor are clean; decor and styling is fair; noise level average is 71 decibels; close to other Korean businesses and Ross. 2 to 3 pages of menu items with separate listing for lunch. Wait time to be served is a blistering 2 minutes and 30 seconds. We ordered a beef meat combo that is good for 4 person. Presentation is fair to good with good portion sizes; the aroma is the best, your food is being grilled in front of you so this takes the trophy. The hotness and doneness will be decided by you so don't blame anyone for this. They have a lot of side dishes with different levels of saltiness, sweetness, umami, spiciness, texture and balance.Overall, the food is excellent with good price-to-value ratio; I highly recommend the food and this restaurant.On a side note, if they see you struggle with grilling (or you don't look Korean enough ?) they would stop by every 2 -3 minutes to grill the meat for you; this alone is a 5-star service in my book.

I did enjoy their chicken soup. The combination of food B fits our taste. The large combo is good enough for five people.
