" This was my first experience with Korean BBQ, and I was really pleased. The concept of grilling at the table was fun and engaging. The portions were generous, and I felt I got my money's worth. However, the initial service felt a bit rushed at first, which made it hard to grasp the menu. Once I got used to it, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

I left feeling happy and full. " (*Curated Review*)
