I’ve been driving by this restaurant So so curiously. We finally stopped in and didn’t regret it. I ordered, in simple terms, C1( Bul Go Ki beef) our server Justin was very knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly. Upon paying for our meal, Justin suggested the BBQ room. We’re certainly coming back to do just that. The portions were generous and visually appealing. Certainly not “fine” dining. But, if you want to feel at ease this is the spot!

I will likely be back because it is a unique food concept in the area, but I will admit it wasn’t my best dining experience. The food was really good. My whole group enjoyed our selections. The service was fairly lacking; they seemed to only have 1 server for the whole dining room. The atmosphere is pretty “meh.” They have some TVs playing K-pop music videos, and that is the majority of the atmosphere. I want this place to succeed, but there feels like there is some definite room for improvement.

Food is fantastic and they have a great variety of soju and sake. We were at a table that was somewhat hidden from view and our server ended up forgetting to put in our food order so we waited 1.5-2 hours before getting our food while watching other tables sit down, order, eat, and leave. We didn’t mind as much because our server was nice, the soju was good and when our food did arrive it was fantastic. I would go again but would probably request a more visible table.

I’m from the East Coast, where we have tons of Korean BBQ restaurants, so when I found this place I was so excited! That being said, I wasn’t quite impressed. We went with the “cook your own” style meal, which has always been our go-to. There were only two meat options, beef bulgogi and pork belly, both of which were a bit underwhelming. The hot plate that we were given to cook on only heated up in one small section, so it was a bit of a hassle trying to cook everything. I will note that the appetizers were quite good, which leads me to think that the food that is cooked by the kitchen is probably really good! If you’ve never experienced “cook your own” Korean BBQ, then I think this could be a good place to start, but if you’re more experienced then I’d probably suggest ordering a dish off the menu.

The food was great and the staff was friendly. The owners son drove up from Chicago to help because they were short staffed!

Had an unfortunate experience here. The food was incredible, but the restaurant forgot our order and forgot about us. We sat there for almost two hours despite stopping the server several times. Not sure what happened, but it left a bad taste in our mouth despite the food being great.

Wow, I have driven past here for years and the outside appearance made it seem like a okay, like when I am drunk Chinese place. However, this resturant was amazing and I am so glad we took the chance because we really wanted Korean.

Ive only tried Korean food a few times before but our lovely server was more than happy to answer questions. She even brought out banchan ( Korean snacks) for us to try. She was very generous and brought us second helpings. The food was very good and the service was even better.

All the food we ordered was great! The kimchi was just right. The ride cake appetizer was delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong ordering whatever is on the menu. It is a bit pricey but I think worth it.
