Customer Reviews
I came here for the all you can eat skewers. The decor is unique. They have a self-serve sides (cucumber, onion, daikon, and powdered spice toppings), and sauce bar where you can also refill your water cups. The setup is like how they do it in S. Korea. You order your food on the electronic menu at the table. You can order up to 4 items at a time. If you want to order more, you have to wait a few minutes where you can then place an order for more. For the sides, you can order your items once. After that, you pay for extra. I tried the lamb, beef, pork, tofu, and chicken skewers. For the sides, I got the fried rice (it's actually sticky rice), chow mein (tasted like garlic noodles), mala soup (they use a spice that is numbing), and coconut shrimp. The "fried rice" was okay.

Went here during their soft opening. They’re on the southwest corner of Raymond and Union, adjacent to the parking structure. We ordered a little bit of everything. The lamb skewers were by far my favorite thing. The galbijim was also very good. The carrots and potatoes absorbed so much flavor from the meat and stew.
Food was very delicious. The best skewers were the pork and chicken and the gyoza was delicious. The music inside felt like I was at a rave which I loved, it brought me back to my edc days. Overall a good place with good food.
Notice the pics in this review? Lots of sushi. Is it good? I guess so, but why did they have to mask everything with that much ponzu sauce, if the sashimi itself was already fresh? We waited a long time for the skewers, and they never came. When we addressed it with them, it took so much time to get the order fixed. They even sent us another table's potato swirls, which most likely means they sent our order to another table, and that table didn't say no I guess. When the skewers did come, it was OK, but not worth our wait. Throughout the night, even the next table to us kept having to say, "this isn't our order" and a lot was sent back. So if you're here on a Saturday night wondering why this place is so empty, don't think you found a diamond in the rough.
Since it is AYCE, I was worried about getting server's attention to order. However, it was very easy to order through the tablet. Getting the most out of my money! The food was of course great :) I loved chicken skewers. I am really wondering if this place is profitable. Such a great price!!! Amazing crews, very helpful!! <3
