We were seated and served immediately. Prices are reasonable, interior is spacious with good sized tables. Lighting is cozy. The meats were fresh with adequate portions. My favorites were the spicy pork and spicy chicken. All the staff were friendly and dirty tables were cleared promptly. We will return!

I almost didn't go to this restaurant due to the mixed reviews but we were in the area and craving Korean BBQ. I'm glad I gave it a shot. It's fine. I kind of feel like the other people who are complaining either prefer hipster style Korean BBQ or haven't been to many Korean restaurants in general. Yes, the waitress isn't Applebee's friendly... that's normal at a Korean restaurant. We went at an odd hour so the one waitress wasn't busy and she was quite attentive. But knowing Korean restaurants, I can see how when they are busy, service would be slow. The meat quality is fine for the price and the side dishes are respectable. The kimchi is good. They don't change the cooking pan but I think that's because they use a very heavy cast iron type of cooking pan vs the thin metal types at most Korean BBQ places. This is the first time I've been to a Korean BBQ place that uses the cast iron version and it worked just fine. I actually liked it because it felt more authentic to me. I'm Korean-American and while I'm not a connoisseur of Korean BBQ, I think I can identify a decent one. This place is fine and frankly, it's the only option around.

We just moved to santa clarita and tried Kogiya even though in the review they are just 2.5... i'm glad we did... it was very enjoyable!!! The meats are fresh... i don't like kimchi that much but surprisingly i love their kimchi rice!!! Even the miso soup is soooo good! The side dishes are good too! The server is very attentive and will take care of you... 5 stars from me and my husband!!!

Place was nearly empty and they wouldn't let me eat alone (minimum two people). I guess they don't want my business. I'll go somewhere else. I should have listened to the previous reviews.

It was unfortunate (in a bad way) that I didn’t check their rating before going here. Probably one of the unforgettable Korean BBQ experience I ever have. The price looks like a good deal $24.99 but you’ll ended up with $29.99 to get all the good meats. The only pro is that the place is big & spacious. The bad parts are: unfriendly service from the older ladies, they don’t change the grill (only one for your whole trip), they have the weirdest grill that only expect fat to slide down (no holes/grid) that doesn’t really work well, meat quality is average (ribeye almost have no marbles, short ribs cut is too big, belly has less fat that make it taste almost like round), sauce almost has no taste, there’s also a note to charge full price for left over. Be careful, they also added 15% gratuity in the bill but still have a row for tips. Definitely won’t come back as we have some much better Korean BBQ in SCV

Price per head seems cheap compare to other AYCE kbbq around, but wait till you get your check with a mandatory 15% gratuity for all parties (or 18% for 5 or more). I had also asked for tofu soup three times, never got it. I was then told we had way too much leftovers...hence, the reason I never got the soup (they charge for any leftover food). For 2 adults, 2 children ages 10 and below, lunch time, we paid $120++. Also, the grill isn't the best. Expect to have oil splatters on your clothes. I would rather spend $2 more per person elsewhere, like Charcoal Kbbq.
Yuck! Place is dirty, smells rancid, and extremely rude service. All the other reviews are spot on. Plus they won't let you eat if you come as 1 person. 2 person minimum. Came for lunch, drove 20 minutes and they would not let me eat since I was by myself. F*** these people. Can't wait to see them go out of business.

Served my son frozen cheesecake and had the nerve to charge me for it. The waiter offered to microwave it.

Honestly this place is okay. You get good prices but always be reminded you get what you pay for. I was upset because I came in on a Sunday evening just to find out that they were only serving AYCE and I would've been happy with the "happy meal" they have on the menu. The meat was good and I have to say the spicy pork is my fav. Two downsides that are major for me is that you can't come alone and do AYCE (for those who would want to), and the other is that they don't change the grills. Which is a bummer because nobody likes that burnt taste on their food. I didn't get to try any desserts so I can't say anything there. The servers however are actually all super nice and attentive, so I didn't mind the automatic 15% tip they apply. Overall, I would come back but it wouldn't be on my top list.

I’ve been here several times before and after covid the service is good, the price is okay, but their meats are not good its poor quality its very dry. I came here cause its the cheapest of all the kbbq in my area. But now I no longer coming there because they charge my toddler 2yrs old $10 the heck is that he doesn’t even eat the meat and he only eat my rice and fishcake w/c is only a side dish. Overall for 2 person and a toddler I paid $77 yeah its ridiculous!!! And I left my boy’s little toy car in there so I went back just right after they cleaned our table and the server said she doesn’t seen anything i didnt even ask her what im looking for?♀️ Yet, Like what the heck???we’ve been a patron of you guys for 3yrs and its just a dang toy??, I just left disappointed and dissatisfied. Never come back to that place again.
