Customer Reviews
We dined in Christmas night for our first time at this establishment. Typhany (our server) , Ant and Felix (managers) were hands down amazing! I know working on Christmas is not the top of the list for anyone, but they didn’t miss a beat! Questions answered with a smile. miscommunication on a last second order of ice cream at closing, they handled it professionally with a smile. Hands down the best service I have had in a while. The food…. WORTH IT! Wonderful flavor and great selection. The experience as a foodie and lover of soju was a 10/10.
I'm not 100% sure how to rate this, as I cooked the food myself. The items brought to and cooked at the table were very good. The items off the sauce bar (dumplings, spring rolls, and chicken nuggets) were typical buffet quality. I am not a big fan of the K-pot food, so I came for the Korean BBQ. Since the person I was with wanted both, I was forced to pay for both even though I only ate Korean BBQ. The atmosphere was great.
Jesus was amazing, appreciated that he walked us through it step by step since it was our first time. He was thorough and detailed and very attentive. Food was amazing. I am a very picky eater and joked that I might just have to get the chicken nuggets off the bar but I was so wrong! I had SOOO many new things and it was all delicious.
The food was very delicious and the place itself was nice. However, I do not recommend this restaurant and I will not return because of what happened near the exit. We had not left yet—we only went to look at the ice cream located by the exit so we could check the ingredients and then return to our table to order. Two female staff members at the reception area were involved. One of them suddenly started yelling at me and my daughter for no valid reason. When I explained that the hostess had told us it was okay to check the ingredients, she continued yelling instead of listening. This behavior was aggressive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. There are many other places with far more polite and respectful staff than this one.
Great place to go with friends, it’s nice that they have both hot pot and kbbq. We tried both for the experience and it was definitely worth it to get the hot pot, but mainly because the kbbq itself wasn’t cooking fast enough for 5 people. It was a good experience; the meat was solid but not amazing, some of it was a bit too chewy but overall we were able to eat a ton!! Solid place to go and the interior vibes are really nice. If you have a larger group I recommend hot pot so you can cook enough.
