There's something about using English on a menu that makes me initially feel like the restaurant isn't authentic and I will admit that when they advertise having confit, ribeye, NY steak, etc. I question the quality of it all. Still, I went with friends because the pricing was way better with the meat assortment than others in the area and I will say it did not disappoint!On a Thursday evening at 6pm, the restaurant only had 2 parties before us and I was pleasantly surprised at not having to wait.We ordered menu B for $34.99 as of writing this review and boy did we get full really quickly! We ordered the ribeye to start and if you read the fine print you can only order 1 steak per 2 people. You can order 4 meats at a time so we got kalbi, bulgogi, and brisket as well. The bulgogi was very lightly marinated but still packed a ton of flavor and of course the brisket and kalbi were delicious.I was surprised that the ribeye and New York steaks came out cooked at medium rare temperature, but I like that it saved us so much time from having to cook it ourselves as it is a 90 minute time limit.I don't like wasting food so I appreciated that the banchan was brought out upon request. The japchae, fish cakes, cucumber, and steamed egg were great.For drinks, we ordered yogurt soju and kloud beer. Everything was priced as you'd expect in a restaurant, which is of course at a higher mark up. I do hope in the future they can consider adding Beatboxes because they're inexpensive and fun to drink.The service was great. I was so full that I never really needed to call on the server for anything. One thing I wish they would do was play Korean music. It just adds a bit more authenticity to it than playing top 40 pop music. Other than that, though, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning for menu A in the future.(1/50--2024)

I didn't think it was possible for me to dislike Korean BBQ, but after eating here, I stand corrected. The bulgogi was completely flavorless, as was the other meat that we ordered. The mashed potatoes were inedible, and the kimchi gave me depression just looking at it. Service was meh. Don't come here and don't bring friends here. Go to AYCE Gogi instead.
Not sure why it has 3 stars. We went for dinner today, the staff was very helpful and super fast. Friendly atmosphere. The food quality I have to say is great. We had the A menu with Ribeye! The bulgogi was very flavorful. The BRISKET was to die for!! Beautiful marbling and super tender. Sides were great as well. Fried shrimp, steamed egg, fried rice, and corn cheese. I have to say this was a good experience. Way better than AYCE GOGI!

Very disappointed with this place. I rarely do reviews, but people deserve to know what they're getting into. Came here on a Thursday night, right when it opened. Only party for about 45 minutes, and the service was some of the worst service I've seen. If it were busy, I would completely understand. However, the waitress and waiter were horrible, had terrible attitudes, and constantly forgot our orders. Sadly, I'll never come back here again. It's no wonder that other Kbbq places are doing better than this place. Food was average. If the service was better, I would have considered coming back. If you're okay with paying $60/person for ok food with terrible service, this is your place!

I used to love TJs i would go weekly. Since it turned into a burger place it's been going downhill. Nobody is ever in the burger area. Nobody wants burgers. We want the authentic Korean BBQ we've always had for years. The staff is now less helpful because of the juggling of two different restaurants.

Horrible service. Waited over 20 minutes to finally get any assistance. Had to put a chair in the middle of the isle just to get some attention. Even with the chair in the isle, each server atleast passed by twice before noticing anything.. when finally getting attention from one server. We requested a real server who will serve right. Other customers that came later than my group had more assistance and help. The service here is unacceptable. Service gets no stars. One server did help and tried to make our time better. His name is Kelvin. Kudos to his service.

The food overall was great but the service was shit. Took 20 plus mi min for a server to come and take our order for another round and some of the stuff ordered didn't even make it to our table.
Variety of meat and spacious
