2023-07-03 21:47:03My kids absolutely love dining here, especially for the bone in short ribs and crispy popcorn chicken. The customer service is always great. However, if I were to express a minor disappointment, it would be the tofu soup, which doesnt quite measure up to my personal preferences compared to other locations. Nevertheless, this minor setback doesnt deter us from returning.

2023-11-03 14:44:14Unfortunately Im highly disappointed with this spot.The bulgogi was mushy and when cooked was basically a patty. We received a raw cheese tonkatsu. Its unfortunate this happened because the place looks very nice with the blue lighting and comfortable sitting. The capri soju is honestly great but being the food was so disappointing... it was not a good experience.The waiter was very diligent and definitely tried to be attentively but he was working on halloween night on his own with 5 tables. The man did awesome with what he had.

2023-09-03 03:10:30Went in for the dinner this time for $30/person.Tried the Chicken Katsu, japchae, korean pancakes and korean ribs for apps. Katsu was fresh, hot, andcrispy. It was good. Japchae had the weirdest flavor out of all the Japchae Ive tried. Wouldnt recommend. Korean pancakes was for my child but she didnt like them. Sweet, mochi like texture with filling inside. Korean ribs were really tender but wasnt that tasty.For the main dishes we tried few dishes but nothing really stood out. Short ribs only on dinner menu was stringy and chewy. So was the other dish in the pic that looks pretty but was not that good.Our server however made our night. Our kid spilled water and server was all over it. Then gave her a lollipop and that stopped her crying. Made sure we were taken care of. Very friendly.But I wont come back for dinner. $20 for lunch is very reasonable however.

2023-07-11 17:49:36Weve gone here twice, and were happy both times. The meats are very tender and the marinades are great. I recommend most of the chicken flavors, and the beef bulgogi!They give you a lot of pickles & sauces too, and they were the stars of the show for me. There was also something that I think was mashed sweet potato & corn? Dont exactly remember, but I really liked it (my husband didnt, so more for me!) So dont skip the sauces, give them a try and see what you like!Note to self for the future:The shrimp are whole, which isnt necessarily bad, but all the cajun seasoning was on the shell. We really liked all the chicken flavors, except the garlic which tasted very strongly of garlic paste from a jar. The calamari was a calamari steak & was quite large. Same with the pork belly. Japchae just wasnt for us.(Im sure well be returning, so I just wanted a guide for what to order)

2023-03-10 07:55:29Delicious choices, we enjoyed pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp at our dinner. All were great including the sides (although popcorn chicken was glorified chicken tenders). I have nothing to complain about, it was a great experience.

2022-12-02 21:58:27When I tell you they food is the bomb . Com! I had the spicy pork, the calamari, the spicy shrimp, the pomegranate Soju. Everything was so good. Even the salad, the pork riblets and the appetizers. Definitely coming back. The Soju will surprise you. It tastes like juice but has a powerful effect! 10 out of 10.

2023-11-29 11:45:38Honestly was my first time eating here. Ordered through Uber so most of my ratings are strictly about the food. We ordered the 7 meats meal just to share and see what it’s like. We ordered Cajun chicken, Cajun shrimp, pork cheeks, pork belly, premium steak, premium brisket and calamari. Was not a fan of the pork cheek and they’re style of calamari too chewy for me. I’m used to fried calamari. Other than that everything was great. Wife really enjoyed the steak as I the pork belly. Funny thing, it was my first time eating shrimp with eyes lol. Typically I get pre cooked frozen lol. But overall food is good. I do believe we would enjoy it more if we had dined in for the fresh hot meal.

2022-05-09 21:25:44Great food and our service was excellant. A little expensive, that is to be expected. Restrooms were clean but in the mens it was missing a hot water handle. It lost a star for having duct tape on the seats, yuck! It lost another star because of parking, it is in a crowded mall.

2023-02-05 00:10:45Food quality is okay, Marinated ones are all overly sweet without other spices. Especially not recommend the red wine marinated ones - looks weirdly purple-ish and not fresh.Service wise, it is quite slow. We came during lunch time (not busy, many empty tables) and waited ~10 to be seated. Once seated, it took a long time for the waiter to come around. With every order it takes about 5min for it to arrive and change of grill is not promptly enough.Overall disappointed, would not come back.
