" During my last visit, I was pretty excited to try Eight Korean BBQ, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype. While the service was generally good, I found the pork belly flavors quite bland. The atmosphere was lively but overshadowed by the disappointment with the food. The side dishes needed improvement in quality as well. I think I’ll explore other BBQ joints in the area next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Korean BBQ places, I found Eight Korean BBQ to be above average but not the top choice. While the side dishes were excellent, the pork belly flavors were not as distinct as I expected. I loved the ambiance and the lively environment, but for such a popular spot, I expected a bit more. The service was fine, but we had to wait a while for our food despite not being too crowded. Overall, it was a decent experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a delightful way to indulge in Korean BBQ, Eight Korean BBQ is the place to be! We tried the all-you-can-eat pork belly and were blown away by the variety of flavors. The servers were incredibly attentive, cooking the meat right at our table. Each flavor of pork belly had its own unique taste, truly elevating the BBQ experience. And don't get me started on the kimchi stew! It complemented the meats perfectly. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Korean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful time at Eight Korean BBQ! The service was friendly and competent. I loved the variety of pork belly marinades offered, though a few could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The atmosphere really felt authentically Korean, and the structure of the restaurant was inviting. I cannot wait to return for another delicious meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Eight Korean BBQ on a whim, and it was fantastic! The staff cooked the meat right in front of us, providing a unique dining experience. I adored the spicy red pepper sauce paired with the pork belly; it offered a perfect kick! Everyone in my party enjoyed the dishes. We'll definitely return for another round soon. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys authentic Korean BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I eat at Eight Korean BBQ, I am reminded of the authentic experiences I've had in Korea. The flavors of the pork belly are spot on, and the staff are so friendly they make my dining experience enjoyable every time.
