Pros: The selection of meat was huge, the service was very good, our area was very clean, the serving size was very standard for Korean BBQ places, free desert very small tho just a sample size ice cream, if you like decent spice they have it, Great spot for first time Korean BBQ. Cons: Seating was terrible I was literally back to back with some people constantly hitting the back of my chair, so close to me I could hear their entire love life, the menu is complicated it has three separate sections and options are all spread so no lunch or dinner prices depends on the meat you order for how much you will pay, waiter are very tentative like to to much, they will come by and ask you ever 10 mins while your obviously still cooking or eating you almost feel rushed, the waiting area is literally outside on some small benches connected to the restaurant so space is a huge issue hear just so crowded.

We have been coming here for several years. The food is delicious high-quality meat fast service and good prices. My sister and I enjoyed a delicious meal tonight. Thank you so much for that amazing meal. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and they will get you in and out Feeling satisfied every time. Our personal favor is menu B. Love the brisket, bulgogi, beef belly!

Food and service were great, but we were seated on a table with only one grill, so it was difficult to feed a group of seven. We were also limited to only three meats per order, but bigger groups should be able to order more and receive bigger servings of the sides.

First KBBQ restaurant of the new year! This is mine and my bf’s first time here. Parking: They’re located in a big plaza. Finding a spot is very easy. Ambiance/Environment: We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, and it was poppin! Very spacious inside with plenty of seating for all group sizes. No outdoor seating. Service: I didn’t catch anyone’s names, but all the workers were quick, efficient, and attentive! Each worker constantly checked up on us which was much appreciated. Empty plates were also removed very quickly. Meats & sides: We went with Menu C that included both Menu A & B + more. We ordered sides from the tablet. You can order as many sides as you’d. All the meats tasted high quality! We enjoyed everything, but our favorites were the Red Castle Angus Beef Brisket, Red Castle Beef Belly, and LA Galbi! We also ordered more sides from the menu. The corn cheese came in a generous amount. The stone kimchi fried rice was sooo flavorful! My bf got the volcano steamed egg and tofu soup. The steamed egg came bubbling and cooked well, and the tofu soup tasted as expected. They also offer complimentary ice cream for desserts! Pricing: Wow these prices were definitely worth it! There’s a 1.5 hour limit. Trust me, this is all the time you’d need lol.

We had dinner there last week Thursday. There is ample parking. Service is friendly and helpful. They have three AYCE options. We went with the highest tier at $29.99 and is still very reasonable. We ordered several sides including kimchi, kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, tofu stew and tortillas. All the meat we ordered was fantastic. The beef tongue, beef belly and brisket are all highly recommended. Also, the ribeye bulgolgi steak is large and well marinated. Great food and great service will have us coming back again.

The place is in a little shopping center, parking was easy to find for sure! Service was fantastic! They were very attentive and they made sure that we got everything we needed and grill changes were very consistent. We got the premium menu at $29.99 per person and that did not disappoint! Here's what we ordered: •Beef Tongue •Ribeye Beef Bulgolgi Steak x 2 •Iron Bulgolgi Steak •Red Castle Angus Beef Brisket •Red Castle Beef Belly •LA Galbi x 2 •Tofu Soup •Jalapeno Pineapple •Stone Kimchi Fried Rice •Volcano Steamed Egg You order the meats and sides in person, you can order the Banchan on a tablet at your table! Everything was delicious and amazing! The meat quality was fantastic, and don't forget to order some tortillas to make tacos! (They're street taco sized) Come check this place out if you want great prices, amazing service, and a great time!
