" Definitely my go-to place for Korean BBQ! They have a good selection of the classics, and the quality is consistently high. I do wish they had better ventilation since it can get a bit smoky inside, but the food truly shines. The staff is always polite and eager to help. I think the wait times during peak hours can be an issue, so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oo Kook offers an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ that truly stands out! The quality of the meats is fantastic, and they have a variety to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the spicy brisket and the marinated pork jowl. The only issue was a bit of a wait for a table, but it was worth it. Once seated, the servers were attentive and quick to bring out orders. Overall, a great experience that made me feel like I was back in Korea! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a great time at Oo Kook! The ambiance is perfect for gatherings, with a modern but comfortable feel. The staff was attentive, and our grill was replaced quickly. The meats were high-quality, and I appreciated the variety. However, I found the parking situation a bit tricky due to nearby construction. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would say my experience at Oo Kook was mixed. The meats were fresh and the side dishes complemented the BBQ very well. However, I did feel that the service could have been more attentive at times, especially when we were placing our initial orders. The experience was good, but it didn't exceed my expectations considering all the hype. Still, I would recommend giving it a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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!
