“ It was crowded upon entering the restaurant yet got seated right away. You have 3 menu choices for each price per group not individually. All the meats were surprisingly flavorful and aromatic after its cooked. The staff was very attentive, easy to obtain and orders come out rather quickly, the atmosphere was Melo and lively with Korean K pop videos playing in the background as our food simmers to a crisp texture. Dessert was just ice cream, but unlimited as well! Overall good dining atmosphere and quality. I recommend all who live the taste of Korean cuisine to come dine here, bring your appetite, it's worth the fair price of the menus. The only con I would write is, the lack of side dishes, there were hardly 5 small dishes, but we came for meat, not small side dishes. ”
“ I always pass this place but never stopped here. But I can tell you that it's worth the time. Im not sure if the lady is the owner but she gives great customer service. If anyone sees this place I say try it out. ”

“ This is my second time coming to this k-bbq spot and I love it! If you want to eat delicious food, on budget, and is all you can eat, this is the place. The times I have gone, I go around 9 pm, the place is full and we did have to wait, but not long (a maximum of 5 minutes). As we were eating we can see how quick they are to clear and clean the tables, so you’re garenteed to be seated quickly. I loved the overall atmosphere, they played some good loud music. Not too loud where you can’t hear yourself think. All the staff seemed very nice and helpful. I did want to give a specific compliment on a young waiter named Jose, he was on it! He seemed more than happy to take our order and even help clean up a spill my child had accidentally did. He really made our first time out in a while a great experience, I am very pleased and thankful! ”
