Finally got to try this place! The restaurant isn’t particularly spacious, with tables packed close together. The moment you step in, your shoes immediately stick to the greasy floor. With no exhaust fans running, the whole place feels like a no-frills street-side food stall. We reserved a spot online an hour ahead and ordered by scanning the QR code—super convenient since it skips the wait for servers to take your order. Dishes arrived pretty quickly. The servers worked swiftly, though the food placement areas weren’t the cleanest. All sauces, napkins, and chopsticks were stocked on a wall shelf for self-service—a true DIY setup. Portions here are massive, so resist the urge to order too much initially—just add more if something hits the spot. Their kimchi is a standout (and refill portions stay just as generous!). At the end they offer a strawberry ice cream for free. That’s nice!Overall, it's a solid experience, but consider this a heads-up: You might want to plan a post-meal bathroom detour.**
Very yummy all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ! They were consistent with changing the grill tops to ensure you always had a clean one. You order whatever you want on your phone, and they bring it out quickly to the table. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because short ribs are extra after your first order and we waited 1 hour for a table. Went with 4 people, and our total was $170 after beer and all-you-can-eat. Would definitely come back!
Came on a Friday since they open early Fri-Sun but otherwise 5 PM. So off the bat they are pretty solid, sides aren't that great but it's fine but the meats are all above average. Going with premium is the way to go if you've never visited. Overall price and quality it's solid so would recommend if their hours are workable with you.
Our first time here, really busy and very accommodating. And the food is so delicious! We had chicken Shrimp Brisket Short rib Premium boneless short rib The marinades were all so tasty The employees are amazing, hard working and all in sync. I would recommend highly
I used the yelp waitlist. It originally said it would take an average of 75 mins. But it really only took 20 mins. This was on a Saturday afternoon (~4:30pm) Used a qr code to order food. Food came pretty promptly, and our grill was routinely changed. The staff were very proactive, nice and quick. The table was set up with several Banchan (side dishes) upon sitting down at the table.
