The prices for the food are a bit high, but overall it is a good experience with a good selection and tasty food. I recommend the Kalbi over the ribeye and the scallion pancake. The spicy tofu soup and seafood noodle soup are also must-try dishes. However, the kimchi as an appetizer was disappointing and lacked variety. I would definitely return, especially with a big group. The restaurant is also kid-friendly.

As I wandered through Korea Town, I found a famous restaurant and I was very satisfied. The meat was tender and not too greasy, and there was a lot of it for the price. I was surprised at the price in dollars, but the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was authentic and delicious. I highly recommend it. I love the galbi, bulgogi, and galbitang. I might not be able to eat Korean BBQ in Korea because it's more expensive there.

The galbi meat was 48 bucks, but the portion was not huge : For 48.00, I expected a good portion....it was about 15 small pieces...Overall, a good experience will surely go back...

The marinated meats were absolutely delicious—I highly recommend them! And, of course, enjoying some refreshing soju added to the overall experience.

The amount of sides you get pairs really well with the meats.The first time we went, it was busy and we were seated at the back next by the dishes and door that was cracked open. The music is also loud and we were under one of the speakers. So that was a bit unpleasant, especially with a toddler. But the service was good and efficient with the cooking.The second time we went was on my birthday and they did the cute happy birthday song for me. It wasn’t busy and we didn’t have to wait like the first time. A much better experience. Food was delicious as always!Just don’t go there when it’s busy or at least call ahead!

Nicely decorated and fairly intimate. Each table has its own gas stove/hot stone baking area for meats and other goods. Excellent BBQ. Had Korean short ribs. Excellent

Absolutely delicious, generous portion, and very satisfying. The appetizers were fantastic too, with more fresh veggies and an excellent execution of the egg dishes!

However, it took quite a while for the grill to be set up, and we noticed a metal piece was accidentally dropped at our table during the switch (the table next to us had the same issue, so just be cautious about that). The staff was friendly, but be prepared to spend some time here and leave smelling like BBQ. Even during dinner time, the wait was 25 minutes, despite the presence of empty tables. Make sure to put your name on the list as soon as you arrive!

While it’s not an all-you-can-eat option, the food is definitely worth the price. Our waiter was very friendly and had a great sense of humor, impressively managing the cooking times for our group of 12-14 people.
