Two people, with a bottle of soju, can dine here for $120. Ish. Is it the best quality? No. But, it’s not bad. And you got an hour to get full. AF. The standard menu dinner was $47(technically, $46.99, but we’re not idiots). I personally don’t think the Signature option is worth it. Lunch is the real move at $30 during the week & $37 on the weekends. Ends at 3pm. The marinated meats hit. All the meat options were solid. I don’t think it’s lower in quality than the other standard BBQ spots in the area- Miss Korea for example is not better. The service here is really efficient. There’s one who goes around and just refills ban chan, one was refilling waters and dipping sauces, the server cooking the food was on it, regardless of managing three other tables. Their whole process is tight and just a well oiled machine. They’re also much younger (20s & 30s mostly) than other spots. I don’t think there was one 40 year old there & they all spoke English well. They were also very fast. Overall, it’s a good bang for your buck and a good midweek date spot. It’s not the best, far from the worst and certainly can be a part of the monthly rotation.

such a fun spot! The staff is so friendly and nice and talk you through the whole process. They also suggest different things for you to try- felt very well looked after. The food is great. i have been here a few times and have no other KBBQ places to compare it to, but it’s always delicious!! Love it.

I love this restaurant! I have been here a few times now, and the food, service, and environment are 5 stars across the board. The staff is super helpful, the wait has not been particularly long when we've gone (both weekend days around 2pm), and the food is SO good. The price is under $40 per person for most things (excluding drinks), and it's a very worthy price for the quality of the food! I suggest the number 11 from the classic menu, it's a marinated sliced beef that is so good. A nice touch: normally in Korean BBQ, you cook everything yourself (as far as I've experienced). At this location, the staff hops between tables and does all of the cooking for you! You can do it yourself as well, but they will always return to the table to check that everything is going well and continue preparation as needed. This is a perfect location to share some time with family, friends, or a date, but maybe not first date! It can get little messy if you are wrapping the beef in the lettuce provided with the other sides. This was graciously recommended by a staff member, and really took the flavor and experience to the next level. I can only go up to 5 stars, but would definitely give more if I could!

I went with a group of 5 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent and the service was amazing. We were their first customers of the day so we didn't have to wait for a table. Our server cooked all the meat for us and even helped to accommodate our gluten free friend by cooking the non-marinated meat first/separately.

This is a good spot to go to with friends! You pay by person. I forgot to take a picture, but this was my second time being here. The employees cook the meat for you. You always get the same type of vegetables (broccoli, onion, yams, kimchi, pickled radish, etc) and get unlimited refill on it. You have an hour of unlimited meat as well. It’s a pretty simple menu in my opinion but the meat tastes better than most KBBq I’ve been to. I would have gave it four stars if it had more on the menu for the price.

Great food, even better service. Free refills on all banchan, corn cheese was amazing. 2 options for BBQ and I went with the classic ones, start with 4 choices of meat. Everything was delicious! Love the tofu stew as well. One of the best spots in K-town!

Good for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ if you like meat and can eat a lot. Meat options were good but AVOID the shrimps coz they were unpeeled. How could you peel it when it’s piping hot?? Spicy Tofu stew was quite bland… Good atmosphere but a bit too dark. Service was EXCELLENT!!

First timer.. walking in, sized it up to be like a hole in the wall place..but as soon as you walk in, you realize how expensive the dining area is. Tables consist of something that looks like large steel bowls slightly tilted lids, and large venting apparatus. Menu has quite a few options, but we opted for the $46 all you can eat option. We were a bit nervous because we didn't know how everything worked (youd think it would be simple - 'all you can eat').. basically, you order what you want to be cooked, they bring it, then they cook it table-side for you. We started with the regular sounding stuff to cook( brisket, spicy ribeye, hanger, steak, etc).. all were fabulous.. but then we got adventurous and tried the other stuff, and quickly wished we had started with this first. Other stuff consisted of pork jowl, pork belly, marinated pork short ribs, spicy pork skin, spicy pork Short ribs.. omg.. these latter meats are to die for. If I had realized this, I would have saved space for multiple orders l ! ! Everything came out so fast, so not much wasted waiting time.. I am definitely looking forward to coming back to New York sooner (last time was 3 years ago ! !) and coming back to this place ! ! !
