With a two-hour time limit per table, it felt a bit counterproductive to wait so long for assistance. That said, I didn't need the full two hours, but it was definitely something I noticed. I wasn't familiar with the process, but the waitress was very accommodating and guided me through everything. She even offered to cook for me! I ended up ordering a variety of meats and ingredients for the hot pot. I felt a bit overwhelmed, especially since there weren't clear guidelines on cooking times for the meats, so I had to make some guesses. Overall, the experience was fun, and I really enjoyed their k-pot sauce—it was quite tasty. While it can be on the pricey side, I think it's worth it if you visit occasionally. One more suggestion: they have various broth options for the hot pot, and I would recommend trying at least a few samples. Kid-friendliness: I noticed kids having a great time cooking. Parking: Finding parking was easy for me.

It was just two v us and it was tight. Even the larger tables, me personally thinks 4ppl would be too small as far as space and cooking. The food was fresh and delicious. HOWEVER, I don't recommend the shelled crab. I had 4 small pieces and not one v them had crab meat. It was full v the inards and all shell, very disappointing bc ya know and it's a waste. I loved making my own noodles and broth. Everything was food sensory overload. Wasn't sure what to cook or eat first. I'm definitely going to go again but with a better game plan ? maximize food intake over a longer time period.

The place always has a nice atmosphere and the staff are always helpful.Where is falls short for me is the food. I grew up with home cooked Korean meals so I might be biased honestly.The food isn't very authentic. The Panchan is either way too sweet, salty, or bland and is consistently under seasoned in every other way. The meat is alright, but there isn't much to critique there. The Hot Pot is okay, but the broth is somewhat lacking for me. It reminds me more of instant stock than real broth, but it's fine.Overall the place is nice, and I like going back there

You have the option to choose between hot pot, barbecue, or a combination of both, but everyone in your group needs to agree on one choice. They offer a variety of flavors for the hot pot broth, along with numerous selections for meats, vegetables, and pasta. I usually opt for the Japanese miso broth, which is incredibly delicious. I highly recommend trying the udon noodles, just be cautious not to let them soak for too long as they can become overly soft. The prices are quite reasonable, making it a fantastic place to celebrate special occasions. However, be prepared for a wait during late-night hours and on weekends. Fortunately, they have a great bar area where you can order unique drinks while you wait.
