Fun experience, upscale atmosphere, and honestly really good food, this is the place to go! We just celebrated our anniversary dinner and our server, Katelyn, went way above and beyond our expectations and helped to create a memorable and extremely sweet dining experience. Their beef bulgogi is delicious in its marinade and the pork is seasoned to perfection. Definitely try the dumplings and the ice cream is surprisingly perfect to end off a delightful meal experience. Thank you Katelyn for all you did to make our meal special!

The best place for Korean BBQ in the area! I mean it is really that good. The food, the service, EVERYTHING! Our waitress was amazing. The place is clean and has your grill in the table. I love this place.

The child wanted Korean for his birthday dinner. So that is what he got. Pros: This place is beautifully set up. I kept wanting to go around and look at it all. Our server was sweet and helped with questions and decisions. Cons: There wasn't enough for my son. We chose the Butcher's Pride. The corn was only eaten by me. It was delicious so no complaints there. My son had most of the meat (chop, filet, and strip), but they were small portions. The main meal was done and we both were left hungry. We were appeased with our dessert of table s'mores, but not full. Also, the table s'mores is a bit uncomfortable because the server had to stay there to toast our marshmallows then watch us eat them before we were ready for the next one. It was a good experience, but not sure we will return. 15.11.2024

Very nicely located restaurant, decorated well, with friendly service and reasonable prices and menu options. We really enjoyed all of the different meats as well as the cheese corn and seafood pancake. Definitely good quality. It was a family outing and everyone enjoyed it.

LOVE this place. The first time we came, we didn't know to make reservations so we waited almost 90 minutes for a table and the food and service was excellent! The quality of the meat is top notch! We have been several times and love it. The staff is super friendly. Great ambiance. Excellent food. I will note that on one visit our grill wasn't working well and even after changing the grill out, it was still taking super long to cook the food. We spent over $200 to eat food that wasn't cooking all the way which was a bit disappointing!

Let me admit 1st that I am not seasoned in Korean BBQ like I am with all other foods. Ok, the food was decent and fun, the meat and tempura shrimp stood out. Small portions of meat, but with some added sides you will be fine. The waiter was attentive and nice. The decor was nice and modern. I think I would have liked wooden chop sticks instead, but hey when in a Korean restaurant. Nice place to check out at least once and see if it's your cup of tea. Food 7.5 Ambiance 8 Service 9

For our first experience here I would say it was good, and unique. We placed our reservation via open table. Even though you are able to mark that you are celebrating something, the restaurant did not ask or acknowledge it. We picked this place because we were looking for something different to celebrate my son's graduation. As we arrived we were greeted and escorted to our booth/table. Our waiter explained mostly everything, he was certainly friendly and helpful. We did have to keep asking what each meat or food item was, I saw some tags identifying what each meat was but they were usually hidden or covered so we weren't always sure of what we were having next. Also we were sure it was normal for him to cook our meats instead of us doing the work? He didn't specify, but we figured maybe he was just being helpful since it was our first time and normally we cook it ourselves to our liking? It was three of us having dinner, so we decided to get their recommended combination "Kore experience, for four people" we figured since it was recommended for four people, we would be more than satisfied. Well, we did not feel that way. It felt as if they gave us less since they knew it was only three people, or it wasn't really enough for four as they recall in their menu or perhaps it's very small portions. Where they sat us the sun was directly shining through and it was very strong and blinding around 6pm for probably 30 minutes, and they couldn't do anything about closing the blinds which was uncomfortable, I highly suggest sitting elsewhere. We ordered a bottle of soju peach which I thought was too sweet, we also were able to tried their soju green grape (taste like kids medicine) the peach was better however very sweet still.. next time we will probably try something less sweet. At the end of dinner we had a glass of their Hennesy VS which was good, and for dessert we had their S'mores kit for 4 and their Affogato, both were great, I highly recommend trying them! Their restrooms were clean and petite. They have indoor and outdoor seating, however I assume you aren't able to grill your food in the outdoor dining areas for obvious reasons. Nice small bar area by the entrance to get a drink. Plenty of parking nearby, on the street or their parking lots nearby. Overall it was a nice decent first experience, there were a few things I would change about it for our next visit but I would definitely recommend it to try at least once. We will probably try other similar experiences before coming back again.

Went here for a girls night with my cousin. Had a reservation on a Tuesday night at 8pm. Upon arriving a few minutes early, they offered us a table right away. The hostess Skyla was very friendly and professional. Our server Anasofia was also very kind and helpful in explaining how to use the barbecue grill and cut the meat as we had not done this before. She was also great at making recommendations and explaining the menu so we knew how to order. The drink we ordered, I think called Botanic, contained yogurt and was delicious and refreshing. There was not a single thing I did not like. I usually don't enjoy kimchi but theirs was mild and I liked it. Overall, a very positive experience. Prices are high but for good quality, for me it will be more of a special occasion place but I could see coming here often. Especially for appetizers and drinks. Also, get the cheese corn, it is so yummy!
