The food was actually really good but it was the process that makes me not want to come back again.The menus weren't clear on what all comes with the all you can eat, they over charge for a coke (which is a can you dump in a glass of ice), and they really didn't go over the process on how things are done.

This could be a really great family style grilling place but it's suffering from some growing pains. The dining experience is disorganized, I've eaten at restaurants like this before but this is the first time I've been lost as to what we ordered, what to do with it, when it was coming out, or how to signal staff when I needed something or had a question. Our server was brand new and it showed, he was trying and we were being patient but he needs more time and training. We had sides on the table when we sat down with no explanation, and other sides showed up seemingly at random that didn't match up with what we thought we asked for. The actual BBQ was good but it was lost on us for all the confusion that hovered over the experience.

We've been to this restaurant many times and the service has been great but now there service sucks. Today we came into the restarant with 1 adult and 5 children, they avoided giving us service and we waited hours and they forgot to give us our soup and side dishes, and still made us pay full price. Do not come to this restaurant if you don't to waste your money and become frustrated.

The service was terrible me and my husband ordered the BBQ we did not receive the soup the steamed egg or the cheesy corn the waitress didn't even ask us for drinks we had to ask, I did ask about the soup and stuff multiple times she kept saying it was coming it never did other people who came in after us got their correct food such and the stuff we dud not get our waitress took forever to attend to us for literally anything plus you pay a huge fee 18 percent tip of gratitude mandatory. When I asked for the check I didn't wait for change because I knew it would be another 30 minutes just for that please avoid this establishment at all costs go to k pot!!! It's way better and you get unlimited food plus the servers are kind and look out for you

After reading all of the reviews I should have not eaten here. They all tell the truth about the service being awful and a surprise “service fee”. This place wasn’t even close to all you can eat because they choose when you are done. 30 minutes in they brought the checks and turned down everyone’s grill. We ordered 5 times in the “hour” and the first three were brought to us horribly slow. At one point they forgot to bring us our food. Sounds awfully convenient for an all you can eat place to stretch the time it takes to receive- then cook- your meals. GO TO KPOT INSTEAD. That place doesn’t limit how much you eat- they actually replace the grill when it’s needed- and for LESS MONEY you can have hot pot as well. Plus they don’t force you to tip for horribly executed service.
I have never left a review in my life and work in a restaurant myself but please take this as a warning to not do the all you can eat here. it tasted horrible, the rice had weird brown spots in it. the service was absolutely horrible, our server had an airpod in and we couldn't hear a word he was saying, it was really awkward. that would have been fine except for the fact that we were charged a service fee. 18%!!! when i asked for a box at the end for some squid i had cooked up he refused which i would have understood if we order a lot but we didn't. we did one round of 3 different meats, and for 170 dollars you think the least i could have is a box. do not go here!!

This is our go to Korean restaurant, the food is delicious and service was great as well. I had the bibimap and my brother had the dinner portion of jaouk. All the kimchi sides are delicious too. My parents both had the lunch box special which was a good deal for the money, includes some japchae and pot stickers.
They say all you can eat but not right, how yoi can eat 3 peoples with 2 shrimp ?

So glad I stopped in. I had the Kimchi Pancake and grilled beef tongue. Pancake was really flavorful and crispy, with lots of onion. Grilled beef tongue served over onions, really delicious. Service was really good.

The service is honestly subpar. Don't come here expecting phenomenal service however, with that being said, the food is satisfying. The meats for the lunch combos are higher quality (especially the kalbi), AYCE is decent but the competitors have better quality, the sides are what I consider the best part of any kbbq. Overall, temper down any service expectations and just enjoy the experience. Will be back!

They changed lunch to a "Bento Box" format and basically served us leftovers. None of the anticipated Korean side dishes! A real disappointment – take your appetite and money somewhere else!
