" I was pretty disappointed with my experience at Bando. While the food was decent, I wouldn't say it was the best I've had. I felt that the service was lacking; my server seemed distracted and didn't check on us. The price was also higher than expected, especially considering they charge for rice on the all-you-can-eat option! I may try another Korean restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience at Bando! We went there to celebrate a friend's birthday, and the staff surprised her with a charming birthday song. The BBQ was fabulous, and the banchan selection was plentiful and delicious. I particularly loved the spicy anchovies! Only downside was the service was a tad slow during the dinner rush. Overall, I can't wait to go back with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honest opinion: I was really let down by Bando. The food was mediocre at best, and I wouldn’t call it authentic by any means despite the high rating. The service definitely left something to be desired; we were pushed to tip heavily without receiving great service. I’m on the fence about ever returning. Maybe I will consider trying another Korean spot in town instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bando has been one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots since I discovered it! The food quality is top-notch, and the variety of sides is impressive. I confidently recommend trying the marinated beef; it was flavorful and tender. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, with friendly staff. I have had issues in the past with additional charges not clearly explained, which is frustrating, but the delicious food keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A mixed bag experience at Bando. The food was delicious with generous portions, especially the side dishes. However, I found service lacking and I was frustrated with the tip that was automatically added to our bill. I can't stand when restaurants do that. Overall, I would say Bando offers good food but needs to iron out the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bando Korean Restaurant is the real deal when it comes to Korean BBQ! I ordered the samgyeopsal and enjoyed grilling it right at the table. The side dishes were authentic, and my favorite was the pickled radish! My only issue was that they added a tip automatically on our bill, which I found unnecessary when we were a small group. Overall, though, I'd highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bando is my go-to Korean BBQ spot! The staff is always friendly, and the meat quality is top notch. I've also had great experiences during special occasions where the team goes above and beyond with service. My favorites include the pork belly and bulgogi. The all-you-can-eat option is an amazing deal for the quantity and taste. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
