    Late night eats 8:30pm. 3 of us. Server should have warned how huge the plates were. Ordered similar type dishes a while back same concept, somewhere else. Not same size plates. My mistake for not asking. $300 for 3 of us, for half eaten dishes. Food was ok. Not worth the price. Service was kind and attentive. Not good, beef bulgogi. mushrooms were wonderful. Fish was not fresh and a huge plate combined with tofu. Not that special.

    I was truly impressed by the experience at this Korean barbecue—it was absolutely excellent. The quality of the meat was outstanding: tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was crafted with care, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting—perfect for a night out with friends or a special dinner. A special mention goes to the server he was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to explain the menu or offer recommendations, they made the whole experience even more enjoyable. His professionalism and genuine smiles really made a difference. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

    The meats are great quality and the banchan has more variety than most kbbq spots, but the service seems to be worse now than what I recall in the past unfortunately. It’s possible they were understaffed as I saw servers seemingly doing multiple jobs, but for the prices they’re charging I can’t help but expect to be attended to a little better.

    Meat quality is great! We came at the end of the night so I didn’t really get to explore a lot of the menu. I didn’t like the sides as much but the appetizers were great (wasn’t a fan of the fried dumplings)
