“As soon as we got out from the parking lot, we could smell the barbecue. What makes this place special is that they use charcoal instead of gas. The waiter cooks the meat for you. The cooked meat was put on the side so that it wasn't overcooked. I picked beef tongue. Very short cook time because they were thinly sliced. I dipped them in the sauce that came with the order. Rich in umami flavor. The marinated beef and pork was well seasoned and not overly saturated salty soy sauce. They provide several side dishes but the portion was very small. The lettuce was fresh and big, perfect to wrap the meat. I ordered hot Korean tea. Unfortunately, they served the piping hot tea in a plastic jar. High risk of chemical leeching. It's not a BYOB , you can buy beer there“
“Great Korean food! The pig neck bone hotpot is so good and we order everytime. If you have extra stomach, also order the pig strotter. Eat as is or stew with the hot pot, either way tastes so good! The restaurant is not the most decorated, but the food is definitely top-notch“
“I love this place. It is one of my favorite spots and is currently my regular hot pot joint. I'm gonna start with the pros! I love the sauce bar a lot. There are so many options. Plus they have some extras like fresh fruit and jelly which I appreciate. The food is tasty and fresh and they have a LOT of options. You have a 2 hour window to order which I've never gone over, and the waitstaff checks back often in my experience even when busy. The broths are all very tasty (healthy herb is my favorite ? ? ) and I like that you can control the temperature for each individual station, and that you can all choose your own broth! I also love the atmosphere! Very cool and modern. The cons are that this place is HUGE and BUSY. Especially on weekends, but every time I've gone, there has been a 30min - 2hour wait time. Usually it is less than their estimate, and I am always ok to wait, but this could be a drawback if you are starving hungry. They don't have a lot of seating for ppl waiting so busy nights you stand there and feel real stupid lol. Also if you enjoy quiet dining, or are neurodiverse and get easily overstimulated by lights / smells / noises, this is absolutely NOT the place for you. It is very loud, the music is loud, and people have to talk loud over each other and the music. Oh and sometimes the floors can be a little slippery. I personally recommend coming at an unpopular time like a weekday! Overall tho, I personally enjoy this place a lot. Hope this helps inform your decision! ♡Parking: It's in a shopping center so there is LOTS of parking even when their lot is full, there are other adjacent lots easy to walk from.“
“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don't normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. Cutest little spot with amazing food. Their cheesy corn is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! Also the service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. Our waiter Jin was so kind to us and made our entire night. :) Just annoyed I had to share it lol.“
“Christmas Day Dinner at So Korean Grill Restaurant.Absolutely pleasant surprise! Amazing food quality and portions!! Not to mention that their service was phenomenal!!!There were 7 of us(6 Adults and a child) entered at around 4pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at the time but soon after, all tables were filled w/customers. Lucky us! We ordered 6 portions of Pork Galbi and Naengmyun(cold noodle), a few minutes later Pork Galbi w/side dish sets hit the table and all of us were just...'WOW'....the portion and taste were way beyond our expectations. Throughout the dinner, a young male server and a lady(maybe the owner..)kept us feel super comfortable and served all the extra items promptly. We will definitely go back and try other Korean BBQ soon.“
“One of my favorite Korean restaurants for 3 years now, always good options and price, service is good. I love their bbq and hotpot option so much. They are the special hook, I tried their sashimi and it was clean and fresh too. Definitely recommend because their meat quality and food in general is really good and flavorful.“
“Nine Ting in Chinatown is a culinary paradise blending Korean barbecue and hot pot. The ambiance is a perfect mix of modern chic and inviting warmth. The Korean barbecue experience is a masterpiece, with melt-in-your-mouth meats and expert guidance from the staff. The hot pot journey offers a symphony of broths and a vibrant array of fresh ingredients. The communal experience around the bubbling cauldron fosters togetherness. What sets Nine Ting apart is the meticulous attention to detail, especially in crafting dipping sauces that elevate the entire dining experience. Leaving Nine Ting, I felt a profound sense of satisfaction. It's not just a meal; it's an immersive journey into Korean culinary excellence. Five stars feel inadequate -- Nine Ting is a gastronomic symphony that leaves you craving more.“
“Have been coming here for like a decade and always have a good experience. The portions are huge, and everything I've tried has been consistently good. If you like spicy food, tell them that you promise not to complain about it being too hot, and they'll make it spicy enough to make you sweat but still be good/flavorful.“
