" Good experience with a decent selection of food! I think if you're in the mood for AYCE BBQ, you can definitely satisfy those cravings here. It was a bit busy, but our server was always around to check our needs. That said, I wished they had more variety in side dishes. Would come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for KBBQ lovers! Came here on a whim and absolutely loved it. The meats were marinated perfectly, offering authentic flavors reminiscent of those found in Korea. The space is lively, making it a perfect spot for gatherings. I do recommend booking a table ahead, as it gets busy! Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining spot we choose was a classic hit! The variety and quality of the meats were impressive. I loved the interactive aspect of ordering via a phone. The only catch was how busy it got and the increased wait time. Putting that aside, it was a delicious meal with lively conversation all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've heard great things about this place! The food genuinely felt like a taste of Korea with its authentic flavors. Our server did take quite some time to take our order, though, but when the food arrived, it made up for it! Highly recommend trying their beef short ribs. Will likely return, but let's see if the service can be improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of the meats blew me away! Fresh, tender, and flavorful. The cooking method allows you to enjoy perfectly grilled meats. I would absolutely recommend the beef belly and spicy shrimp. The atmosphere can be a bit overwhelming due to how crowded it gets, but it adds to the liveliness of the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Awful experience! I had to wait forever to be seated, and once we were, our orders kept getting mixed up. The food itself was fine, but the chaos made it hard to enjoy. I was really hoping for a better experience based on all the positive reviews. Very disappointed and wouldn’t come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing AYCE Korean BBQ! The quality was top-notch, and I could absolutely taste the freshness in the meat. The side dishes complemented the meal well. I particularly liked the potato salad. Our server was friendly, though they seemed a little overwhelmed during peak hours. I would recommend coming early to avoid long wait times! " (*Curated Review*)
