Customer Reviews
I have been to several places that allow you to cook your own food at your table...from hot pot style to Korean BBQ. This is probably one of the BEST resturants I have had the pleasure to dine in. The service is phenomenal and the quality of meat and seafood offered is prime. Even the desserts are divine! Favorite proteins are the Cajun peeled shrimp, the beef bulgogi, spicy pork belly, and the garlic beef steak. ALL are phenomenal! A close runner up is the beef tongue! Fried rice with egg is great as is the strawberry cheesecake! I was in Utah for work and came back every night that I was here to try new things and was not disappointed. My only negative is that they do not offer a variety of vegetables but if you ask, they will bring whatever you want if they have it.
I visited the restaurant today with a friend and we realized that the food was horrible. We have been to a lot of Thai, Korean and Vietnamese places and understand the taste of each type of food, however, the food served by this restaurant was not only overpriced, but also small in quantity for the amount billed. My friend and I ordered 1 veg lo mein, 1 ramen and 1 shrimp and received the bill of 65$. Upon asking to pay itemized amount and not for the "dinner plan" in the menu, we paid for 41$. One thing I noticed was, there are no prices written in the menu for many items and that does not give clarity about what amount to expect. Some of the staff also seemed way too uninterested to even serve the dishes. Overall, never recommending this place to anyone.
This place was great! The servers were very friendly, the place is clean and mellow, and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the spicy pork belly and kimchi fried rice. The portions are smaller than what I have seen at other BBQ places, but that also helps with portion control and waste. There is no open buffet bar for the meats or sides, and the sauces are provided via the menu. Unlimited ordering is done from the table via iPad, which is convenient, and there is a 90-min eating limit.
Very poor eating experience. It took a while to be seated even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy at all. This was my first time there and the server sat us at a table with a locked iPad and completely disappeared! I didn’t know we were supposed to order on the tablet and I didn’t even know the password to unlock it. I would’ve appreciated some guidance or even recommendations for those of us new to korean bbq. After a while we flagged someone down to tell us how to order. The staff was very hard to get in contact with and they rarely spoke. It felt very strange. We order our first rounds of food. Major components are missing. We ordered things that never appeared and we had to ask for basic items like tongs to handle the raw meat. Additionally, some of the cuts are meat are very larg
I had a great experience here today. This restaurant has an interesting set-up for their buffet. They have a heating contraption at every table to cook your own meat. Then they'll bring you as much as you can eat. They offer a pretty good variety on their menu to choose from. Also, the service was excellent. The server was attentive and accommodating. Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth trying.
