Idk where they’re shopping that’s there’s a hot sauce shortage. The meat is so under-marinated and chewy that they would probably benefit from having some hot sauce to distract from the lack of flavor.10/10 would recommend to drive the extra 15 minutes to ktown for actual kbbq

I would like to start this review off by saying I usually don’t give low reviews of places . I read a 1 star review from 2 weeks ago and decided to ignore it due to other reviews but I honestly should’ve listened. They are very understaffed and the service isn’t really that great tbh. We were not greeted politely and served last even though we arrived before others. We were not in a big party either. The food was not seasoned well, but it was fulfilling. I wanted to try a new Korean Bbq spot opposed to the one I usually go to, but i’ll just stick to my usual from now on. They also charged $15 gratuities even though the service was not amazing, and I cooked my own food? This review is based off my experience so it may be different from others. With that being said, take it how you choose.

I was told this noise was normal, but I still didn't like it. Thank you Anthony for making it so the noise would be no more. Nice, friendly, professional young man.

I was hesitant to post because it's probably a nice place since it was recommended it, but it's just one thing that rubbed me wrong. Like a punishment rule. I just moved here from Chicago and thought I'd treat myself. Came here at 3pm and didn't know they would closed. The waiter told me and I told him I was new and it's just me, is there anywhere to waste two hours. He said don't worry i promise it's good and come back. I waited for two hours and came back. He smiled, said oh great you're back. Started to seat me then turned and stopped me to ask if it was only me when I stated it was and I came in alone when we met and when I returned. Then I was told I could only get ayce if there were two people or it's a 13 dollar extra charge. It would have been nice to know seeing as I came in, called before, and came back after two hours to have to go home. Turns out they charge an extra 13 dollars if you eat alone. Should've just stayed home. Can't review the food I never got. Almost 40 dollars for eating alone? Am I being charged for wanting a meal to myself or eating alone or is it just monetary? I'm paying and eating everything I order. Idk. Just wanted to enjoy my day. Doubt I'll try again. This was February 21st 2024.

If you want cheap Korean BBQ this is your place. Med quality and smokey grills and small place. Everyone orders the AYCE korean bbq!!!
The all you can eat Kbbq was worth it! The meat was thin, the marinated meat tasted good and they had a good list of options and big stacks of meat!!! Limited on side options.The pork belly was too thin for my preference. The smoke was kinda getting to us. We had too cook it ourselves and burnt some but the changed the grill. The vent was on but you could see hazy in restaurant. The server kinda forgot about us because he was so busy so had to wait a long time for our second round of meat….
This little gem, 25.99, with all the main cuts you need for AYCE Korean bbq. Service is pretty good with food and meat coming out in ABUNDANCE. They switch your grills out quickly and are very fast with the food. A little Smokey so not sure if their vents are working at 100%. But other than that, we enjoyed this and appreciated not having to drive to Ktown. And there is a parking lot!!

When I crave all you can eat KBBQ but don't want to drive all the way to Ktown! Hits the spot and best when it's not insanely busy! Very cozy spot.
I am not sure what happed here but the food quality has definitely slipped in the past decade since we were here last. Very unsatisfied with the food quality.
This is one of the best lil hole in the walls that I had the pleasure of discovering along with everyone else dining there last night with me. When you see a line full of people waiting, it tells me the food is great. And I was right, my Korean beef, steamed egg and side dishes were amazing. The place needs some interior cleaning to do but nothing terrible either. This place lets you choose the all you can eat buffet that they bring to your table for you to cook to your preference. I loved my dish and I would definitely recommend coming here to anyone.Vegetarian options: They will prepare anything pretty much the way you wanted. Good adaptability.
the waitress was rude and didnt help us much.. I had to ask for a side of salsa 3 times .. bad

That makes me believe LA is a huge Ktown lol. Lots of good korean restaurants scattered in unknown normal streets. Cost-efficient as well.

This place is still trying to use the excuse that there is a hot sauce shortage. At this point, there are hundreds of replacements for sirracha. That is just being lazy. Go to literally any store, and they have it. I can't stand incompetence.

The Good: AYCE korean bbq for 25 bucks, can't beat that, the side dishes are delicious man, the best items for the grill are the marinated ribs and marinated everything, also they change your grill every 17 minutes, if you go at lunch time is quiet and fast.The Bad: Mane it feels so dark inside like a funeral home LOL sorry but play some lil music idk man drill a hole on the roof to allow natural light, install a nice aquarium or a water fountain. Also the brisket sucks sorry but it is just not tasty at all, tastes cheap.Will I come back: I mean yeah why not is a bang for the buck and I ate like a KING mane so yea Imma come back with a portable speaker and set my vibe. My girl was disgusted at how I ate like an animal, definitely not a place to bring your civilized girlfriend. She barely ate lol.
