★★★★★ 5.0 Hannah K. · Feb 2026

Absolutely recommended: delicious food, family owned, and clearly has a lot of passion put into it! We went there for my brother’s birthday. It was Monday evening so it wasn’t super busy, and the servers and owners were friendly and very attentive towards us. The food was amazing- lots of choices for sides, the egg rolls and beef dumplings in particular were hard to pry myself away from, and the beef bulgogi and LA Galbi were to die for. The owner is Korean and talked with us about her nutrition degree in Korea, how the food is homemade by her, and the thought she’s put into details like stainless steel utensils or specially roasted dipping salt. My family and I were still thinking about the food days later! I haven’t gone to a place like this before but my brother has been to many in

Restaurant is indeed a Korean culinary experience. The menu, featuring an array of Korean dishes, is offered at a fixed price for unlimited servings, and the quality is superb. As a professional, I can confidently endorse this venue as my go-to choice.🔥💛❤️😋 If you are vegetarian or vegan, this is a wonderful spot for you as well as carnivores 🌿🐓😋😍😋🔥 The wonderful staff will explain to you how to grill the meat at your own table if need be 😁💋💋 enjoy!

High-quality meats and a great atmosphere! The electric grills are a total game-changer—you get a perfect sear on the meat without the heavy smoke, so you don't leave smelling like BBQ. The buffet layout is super convenient and well-stocked, making it easy to grab your favorites and start grilling immediately. The staff is incredibly friendly and keeps the service moving smoothly. Definitely a new favorite.

Our third time eating here! I am so happy to have a good Korean bbq on the peninsula! Yay!! No MSG. The owner only uses healthy ingredients! The grill is electric and does take longer to heat up, but if you’re an asthma or COPD sufferer you will appreciate electric over gas. Just better for your wellbeing. The staff is on it! Table space is critical when you have a grill at your table so they are very attentive to your needs. They were pretty busy Friday night and they kept pace with it. They have beer and soju as well as soda and tea. So grab some Korean fried chicken while you wait for your meal to cook and have a great meal and a good time!

I’ve been dying to go here since I first got here and I’m so glad I finally did. This place is absolutely incredible. The food was amazing and as soon as we stepped in we were welcomed as if we were family. The owner is quite possibly the sweetest woman I’ve ever met. This is the perfect place to bring family and friends or just to grab lunch or dinner. I cannot wait to come back🖤
