Went there with a group of 12. Reservations strongly recommended even on a Tuesday evening. They asked us to preorder (3-4 days in advance) which was good but also odd to decide for the group. Food was delicious, they cooked the meat to perfection which warrants 5 stars. But the drinks service was very spotty and they were really not around to check on the tables Place was noisy They gave us a time limit because there was another reservation later in the evening, which was great on communication but we were essentially rushing to finish our meal. overall, great food but a few nuances that our group did not find exciting.

I went with friends during lunch on a weekday without a reservation since there was no availability left online. Luckily we did not have to wait and were seated right away. The meat is high quality and the side dishes were really good but be prepared to spend more than your typical KBBQ restaurant. There is a designated server for your table and they cook the meat for you to ensure it’s not overcooked.

Last weekend, I invited my girlfriend--who's half Korean and had just spent a month in Seoul--to check out this restaurant with me. I'd never been before, but I'd heard from others that the meat quality was excellent. Making a reservation was a bit tricky. You can't simply pick a time online--you have to fill out your name, contact information, party size, date, and preferred time, then wait for them to confirm or deny your request. I asked for 12:15 for two, but they accepted us at 12:30. It's an unusual system that might help them manage tables efficiently, but it's a bit of a hassle for customers. When we arrived, the restaurant was moderately busy--not packed--and the noise level was comfortable. The vibe is modern, simple, and clean. I'd visited Chungdam a couple of months earlier and found their atmosphere more upscale, though the meat quality at both places is comparable. The premium galbi here might be about $5-$10 less. We ordered the tofu soup and seafood pancake to start. My friend said the pancake reminded her of a quiche--it was thicker than she preferred, and I agreed. The seafood tofu soup, however, was delicious, and the banchan that came with the meal was all very good. That said, I still prefer Chungdam's banchan flavors and offerings more--they tasted more authentic similar to those in Seoul. We also ordered lettuce wraps for our meat (an additional charge) and settled on the galbi and pork belly. Both were delicious. Overall, the food was solid, but it was the company that made the experience great. We didn't try any of the drinks because my friend doesn't drink alcohol. Our server was very attentive--grilling and cutting our meats, pouring the tofu soup, and plating the seafood pancake for us individually. That level of service isn't always standard at other Korean BBQ spots, and the price reflects that extra care. Parking was easy at lunchtime, with free lot parking and available street spaces. I can imagine it being more difficult at dinner, but we may have just gotten lucky.

The meat was definitely high quality and tasted great. There were a range of great options but would definitely recommend the skirt steak, bulgogi, and pork belly! My only problem was that they were constantly having to reach over us and lean over the food since they do the cooking for you. It made conversation kind of awkward and reaching food a bit weird too. Otherwise great time. (be ready to spend money…)

We really like this place, the food is great, unlimited sides are very good, and service is excellent. I forget which cuts we like the most - I think wagyu beef - but they were all really good. The server cooks it for you, so it comes out consistent. The price is definitely on the high side, but considering the food, service and ambiance I consider it worth it. The starters are also great, beef tartar is excellent. They serve really good cocktails as well - old fashioned is well made.

Smooth kbbq experience, very impressive ventilation system. All the meats were fabulous! So fatty I felt like I was gonna die at some point but not necessarily in a bad way. Not a fan of marinated meats generally but even the marinated short rib I enjoyed. Banchan was honestly a bit underwhelming, looked very Kunjip-like but didn’t taste as good

This place is a must try. We got the beef tartar and bossom. The beef tartar was super good. We ordered rib fingers, pork jowl, and beef tongue for the bbq. The beef tongue is some of the best I've had. We also ordered cold noodle and noodle soup. Both were excellent and good portion. They have great service and cooks the food for you. Very attentive. Price is on the higher end tho!
