Charcoal grill KBBQ place. Good quality meats, a bit pricy for two with the minimum two meat order. We ordered the marinated short rib and the prime ribeye. The server grilled it for us. Both were tasty and tender.

Delicious but the smoke from grilling will leave you smelling like barbecue when you leave. We had a late lunch around 330pm on a weekday so no wait time. But close to 5pm it started to get very busy. Fresh meats and the waiter grills it for you. We splurged on the steak, worth it. There’s a parking lot so it beats driving around the block for parking.

Delicious food. Not an “all you can eat” style, but you order large plates of things for a set amount of money and cook it up or they cook it for you. The buckwheat noodles were great with the meats. Love the grill smell, but be careful if smoke bothers your lungs a lot. Also a bit expensive but if you’re eating with people and splitting the bill it’s not as bad obviously.

Well marinated and good quality meats usually marinated in a sweet soy sauce on a charcoal grill. The short ribs, kalbi, were the best item. Kalbi was tender and much better than most places. Beef tongue was thinly cut and good. Baby back ribs are quite unique for a Korean BBQ restaurant, they were good but not sure if the price matched. Ban chan and salad with green onion were pretty good

Love coming here. A bit rustic but the food is great. Had the beef and pork ribs, squid and to finish it off, a nice cool bowl of kimchi broth noodles. Price is a bit pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Real charcoal operated Korean BBQ. You can smell the smoke as soon as you step in here.

I’m happy to see this place is still in business. I used to come here a lot, decades ago. The Korean BBQ is so good cooked over the soot bull but don’t plan on going anywhere afterwards because you will smell all day lol.

First time visiting this venerable Korean BBQ restaurant. One of the last few KBBQ locations that still use charcoal for grilling meat at your table. And it’s so worth your time! A mostly straightforward menu offering featuring their famous marinated baby back ribs, they do offer other selections like soups and noodle dishes.

Decent side dishes. Chicken was tasty but the baby back ribs were fatty and chewy. I liked they use charcoal. Disliked that we could order an entree only if we ordered two meats to bbq. Good customer Service.
