Nice restaurant with parking. This was my first time here & let’s just say not all Korean BBQ is created equally. The staff was very nice, but explained nothing at all to me. At other Korean barbecue places, I have experienced cooking my own food, going to a sauce bar to select different sauces and toppings, and a full bar. This place has a great deal on their lunch buffet, but I had to ask many questions to figure a lot of things out on my own. They bring you out a nice amount of meat for the grill, they placed me on the grill for you, and they basically cook it for you With no seasonings or sauce aside from a small selection that is already on the table for you. This was a great service to offer, but unfortunately, I was unable to achieve the flavor that I wanted from my meat. The crab was tiny and cooked too long so the crab meat was mushy. Because of this, We didn’t really eat it. The fried rice was good, the beef brisket was good . The spicy pork was good but I recommend eating it as soon as it is done cooking. The flavor changes as it sat. They didn’t come back to turn off the grill until the food started to overcook and stick.The fried dumplings were ok, they looked like empanadas. I didn’t enjoy my peach Soju- it was way too sweet ! That’s basically the only alcohol they had was Korean wine. Unfortunately I would not recommend or revisit this place.One easy To improve is to ask customers have they been there before, and if not provide them with a small explanation of how things work there. Though the employees smiled and provided everything that was asked for, the “new customer experience”/ “first timer welcome feeling” just wasn’t there. Basically what I mean is if you didn’t ask for it, you wouldn’t get it. If you didn’t ask a question, you would not receive an answer.

I first thought when I walked into this place was "wow they must have really good ventilation" because it wasn't smokey or the smell of meat grilling wasn't overwhelming. We sat down and there was already some veggies and kimchi on the cast iron. Idk who grills their kimchi but I don't. It's weird and kimchi is meant to be eaten cold. I love when kbbq places cook for you but the server kept shutting off the grill every time he finished cooking each meat and would turn it back on when cooking the next meat. I see why the restaurant is smokey or fumed of grilled meat but the meats weren't cooked to the comfort of my taste. This place was ok.

This was my first time here but it was my friends' favorite spot. It definitely didn't disappoint. Great bbq place. Loved the thinly sliced beef here. The spicy chicken came a close second and then the spicy pork. A good place for a chill evening and great food. And it's open super late so that was awesome!

The food was good. The service was not great. End up and a waitlist or reservation and you still get passed up. Waited an hr for a 30 mins wait. Hostess was overwhelmed with the crowd. Other then that the food was great.Parking: Around a certain time its difficult to get in but the valet staff is very proficient.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs easily accessible
