" Been coming here for years and Oo Kook never disappoints! The meats are incredible, fresh and the all-you-can-eat option is such a fantastic deal. The spicy grilled chicken is to die for, paired with the various dipping sauces they offer. It's a great place for large groups as the service generally keeps up well, though be mindful of peak times for a possible wait! The ambiance is always fun and lively. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Oo Kook based on all the rave reviews, and while it was good, I wouldn’t say it blew my mind. The service was quick and the variety of meats was impressive. However, I felt the marinades were lacking some depth and flavor. The beef tongue was the highlight of the meal, but I expected more from the bulgogi. It's worth a try, but I wouldn't rush back immediately. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing dinner at Oo Kook! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and it's an all-you-can-eat spot you truly can't miss. The banchan was fresh and delicious. The customer service was outstanding as they were quick to refill our sides and check on us frequently. We enjoyed the marinated short ribs, which were absolutely tender and flavorful, and the price was reasonable for the amount of food you get. Will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a great meal at Oo Kook! The ambiance is vibrant, a perfect setting to enjoy Korean BBQ with friends. The service was friendly, and our waiter helped us pick the best cuts of meat. The pork belly was delicious, and the banchan was fresh and flavorful. The only downside was the wait time during peak hours, so I suggest making a reservation if you're planning to visit on a weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a dining experience! The food was delicious, with standout dishes being the bulgogi and spicy pork belly. The atmosphere was lively, filled with people enjoying their meals. I would say the service could be improved as we had to chase down the waiter for our drinks. Overall, though, a delightful Korean BBQ experience that I would love to repeat soon!

" I've heard so much about Oo Kook and finally decided to try it out. The staff were extremely helpful, especially for first-timers. The meat options were delicious and fresh. I especially loved the marinated items. However, it did take a while for our orders to come, but the wait was forgivable considering the quality of the food. I would return, but maybe on a less busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience with Korean BBQ, and it was fantastic! The staff were incredibly helpful, guiding me through the grilling process. The side dishes, especially the kimchi, were amazing! The only downside was that the grill was a bit smoky due to the lack of ventilation, but the food made up for it. Overall a great introduction to Korean BBQ and I plan to come back soon!
