Excellent service and very attentive!The boss lady took care of us a lot like a mom and made us feel warm & welcomed. Love the vibe here! We ordered all you can eat and it comes with a big hotpot and all kinds of meat i.e. marinated pork, marinated chicken, galbi, beef brisket(my favourite), bulgogi.(*Cute drawings on the wall throughout the whole restaurant painted by the boss lady herself!! So talented!!)
My wife and I came for the All You Can Eat, which includes a huge plate of Korean BBQ you cook and a hot pot. While the meat was good (but nothing to write home about), the hot pot was fantastic and definitely something Id recommend.We got there early (5:30pm) and were the only ones there for a while - once it picked up later in our meal, it became a lot harder to flag down the one server, but they were always gracious and helpful when we did get their attention.
Obviously you dont go to a Korean BBQ place for vegan food, yet I was positively surprised by the 2-3 vegan options on their menu. They also offered to remove the egg from one of their vegetarian dishes.
All you can eat Korean BBQ and hotpot for under 30 dollars!! Minimal wait and yummy food and excellent service. Will come back here again. 🥰
What a find! Walked by this place for years, what a great dinner. AYCE meats accompanied with various condiments and a large bowl of ramen that you decide what goes on.
Amazing food and service for a really good price. Definitely try the all you can eat and you will not regret coming here! Staff is super nice and friendly.
No way theyre open from midnight to 2pm and then close between lunch and dinner.
Hot-pot and All you can eat Korean BBQ! Excellent quality of meat as well as service for a decent price, located in Downtown Mountain View. Highly recommended.
All you can eat for lunch today Saturday August the 3rd of 2019.
Im scared of this place and its art...kind of weird. The place wasnt very clean and had random junk everywhere near the bathrooms.The food was ok quality, they dont give you much meat. Also theres not much to the food there very plain. The water here really off tasting as well.The service was whatever as they tend to ignore you until you have to go up to them.A telling thing was that this place was empty while the surrounding restaurants were packed full of customers.The postickers were freaking good though.
This was the first place I went to with friends after a year of lockdown! And it was so. much. fun! We were a party of three, and we were seated immediately, inside, and there was plenty of room between ourselves and the other diners. Now, I had never been to a Korean BBQ before, so having the grill and boiling soup right at the table, along with the ingredients right at the table was fantastic! The ingredients themselves were all fresh and tasty, and the whole experience was fantastic!
Best Korean in Mountain View! Amazing all-you-can-eat deal with high quality food. Service is wonderful. Enjoyed the variety of delicious meats to grill along with the hot pot with noodles, veggies and meat.
Five stars for the food. Fantastic bulgogi. Have to withhold a star for service. Its nice and genuine and courteous, but can be slow. Ive seen it fairly busy in there a few times while one waitress rushes around and tables are waiting for food and service. Fifth Star though for sure if they hire some more wait staff, this is a great food option on Castro Street.
Okay kbbq spot for the price.They serve you both hotpot and kbbq and both are mediocre. Theres not a whole lot of special cuts and it was hard to get them to only serve specific meats (we didnt want more chicken but they served it to us anyway). Theres only one person out front but the service is still pretty quick (its a fairly quiet restaurant).Superhot is like a block down the street and is a better choice for the same type of cuisine.
Meat OK. Appetizer and tofu soup sub par, will not go again. Was not served barley tea, which I thought as default for Korean restaurant.
Waited there for almost 15 minutes until they told me to have at least 2 people to order all you can eat. It doesn’t say anywhere on the menu though and I was starving at the time.
Enjoyed this place a lot! The waitress was nice and friendly as well. We came in a group of 6 from out of town for a business trip. We did the all you can eat Korean BBQ and it was well worth! If we ever come back to town, we will be back here for sure!
Very helpful waitress, food was good, cooked at the table and way too much food for two people. Waitress barely spoke English and could not help us with a dinner selection other than pointing out items on the menu. It was a good dinner all in all. A bit on the pricey side but you will not leave hungry.
I am grateful for my last minute request to dine in here when restaurant was near closing after lunch. It was windy and freezing cold on the patio. The owner invited me to sit inside. Food was delicious. Ill be back when I return to Bay Area.
Dont understand why it got 4+stars. Bad food.My daughter and I ate there last night. We were the only party most of time.We got poisoned by the food. I submitted a complaint to the country.We both threw up several times. I got diarrhea too. My belly is still hurting at this moment. My whole body hurts
Food was great but service a little shoddy. We had nothing to drink the entire meal. Finally we got water just before the check came.We got the two meat combo with Galbi and beef Bulgogi and it was delightful! The Galbi had a subtle ginger kick that really worked well. The combo is a gut buster for any two people. Its probably best for three if the have a hearty appetite or even four if nobody wants to pig out.
Service was poor - we asked some questions about how to eat their food (I had never tried Korean hot pot) and were treated rudely. We ordered the combination dumpling hot pot. The portion was generous but the taste was just ok.
This place is wonderful! It’s cozy and family-run. They play some odd music videos on a TV in the background some evenings, but honestly it’s enjoyable just to see what it’s gonna be! Most importantly, the food is delicious. Make sure to use the pepper seasoning on anything off the grill.
The most disgusting thing you can eat. Meat tastes rotten, bad service and smelly dining area
Go for the all you can eat option. Nice place but service is slow - actually a blessing since it helps you eat more. Helpful hint: add red spices to the soup and let it boil for +20 minutes. Really rich deep flavors.
Horrible service and do not go there if you don’t speak korean. We spent $60 for 2 person, only get spam meat and 4oz sliced beef lmao
I really wanted to like this place, since the staff was quite friendly. But the beef in my dolsot bibimbap was pretty tough and chewy. I think this might be the only Korean place in downtown Mountain View, so if you just have to get some, then it should be fine. But there are better places elsewhere.
Dont even read the other reviews. You are going to waste your time here. The food is literally going to make your mouth and stomach feel all weird, and youll regret coming here after eating. Overall, service is good, food is junk food.
The meat is way too salty and sweet. All the food they provide are increase your chances of getting cancer. When I asked fresh meat from them, they said they can not serve good quality meat with $23. Pfffff
Good portion for food,great place for meat and veggie lover. The owners are a happy and welcoming couple. Plus it’s not crowded as other places on Castro.
The place, food, ang people are amazing. It was our 1st time eating here and we really enjoy it. The price is really worth it. Very recommended and I will come back here with friends.
For all you can eat, there is about six options for meat. However, they bring out all the meat without you even asking for it (e.g. chicken and marinated pork) and youre obliged to finish it. Also not a lot of side dishes.
Cozy place. Lots of food. Great Korran BBQ.
Food was delicious, amazing service. We had the veggie, tofu, chicken and seafood bibimbap. In one word yummy !
If you come here, come with 2 people but not more... Theyre really stingy with the meat and slow to serve you. Also they dont refill the hot pot with anything good, just cabbage and water.
Very delicious food and friendly service. I will definitely come back. $23 all you can eat is a good deal they have in March.
If you’re looking for horrid customer service, bland food, a restaurant with grease stains on the floor … and a waitress with attitude … you found the spot. 👍
Not a traditional ayce restaurant, they pick the dishes for you (which includes lot of cheap fillers), but you can keep getting more.Sorely disappointed by the meat qualityFound flies in our soup
Delicious Korean BBQ restaurant and an excellent place to visit with friends. Several TVs in the restaurant were playing K-POP during the entire visit which our group found highly entertaining.
Such an awesome restaurant; great quality meat, side dish, pot, and service. I would definitely go again.
Great service and great Korean bbq spot! The meat was delicious and had a lot of flavor. I definitely will be back!
Very nice place. Food is great and it is run by great people. Definitely recommend if you have a group of people looking for a meal together.
Great mom and pop spot. Highly recommend you walk one block away from center to try this out. Note - one portion of meat is enough for two people.
I showed up at a time listed as open on Google. The owners appeared to be inside but had the door locked. They watched me struggle to figure out of they were opened or close but not of them did anything
Hot pot is so good!
Family owned, great portions, and easy to get a table. Love bringing friends from out of town.
Great deal and good quality meat. $30 for all you can eat BBQ and it comes with hotpot as well.
Very good food, and the service is even better. The lady was so nice!
I think in general the food here is very mediocre. Dying my only visit, the tofu soup was pretty bad taste.
Service was below par.
The staff was very nice and accommodating. The food and portions were good as well. Will visit again.
We love this place. The food is great and the staff is really nice, plus the location is right in Castro Street.
This is a place without trust. In the phone call I asked three times I am one person for buffet and they said yes. However when I arrived they insisted two people minimum. Yes, a place without trust.
I love this place. If you have the chance you should go. The owners are so amazing
Great variety of meat. Great choice if you like grilling
Good Korean BBQ! The all you can eat is worth it. But I feel so guilty after!
Absolutely fantastic KBBQ and huge portions for AYCE. At $23 AYCE you cant go wrong.
Large and spacious, quick and friendly service! All you can eat for $30, how can you go wrong!
Great family owned business. The all you can eat dinner is amazing.
Ponchon was very little and not delicious. tofu spicy stew was not delicious.
Delicious all you can eat hot pot and BBQ. Definitely will come again.
Best Korean BBQ around. Amazing service and always friendly staff
If you want good Korean food incl all you can eat BBQ, this is the place for you
Great friendly, tasty, welcoming experience with a good price to match.
Delicious. Great all you can eat Korean barbecue
It’s just not good... maybe it’s because I didn’t do BBQ but still...
My friend and I had food poisoning. Maybe the meat was not fresh.
Love this food and service!
Very yummy! had a very good experience :)
Delicious food, great service, a true gem on Castro.

Mom & pop place. AYCE is substantial.
I was disappointed by the quality of food.
Great bbq
Just ok
Very tasty and authentic
Best tofu soup!
Awesome place!
Good good good!👍
There are all-you-can-eat hot pot and barbecue, which is very cost-effective at 23 per person, very good! This time to eat up....Especially the marinated meat is super delicious! Could be a little more...
Very bad service, too slow and the place is dirty, it only has one waitress and she doesnt speak English well 🙄 the food is good but its not worth the hard time, not recommended 😒

2022-10-06 21:11:16This place need to step up their cooking. Beef tofu stew was too bland that it tasted like they added boiled water on old tofu. Side dishes didn’t even resemble korean food. Kimchi pancake was also flavorless with old kimchi. Even rice was not well cooked.Weird art work on top of their restroom sign 🤷🏻♀️.

2020-02-21 01:18:22Took my buddy here for his first Korean BBQ experience, and it did not disappoint! The all-you-can-eat lunch came with the 5 or 6 standard meats (bul go gee, LA short ribs, pork belly, etc.), all the usual sides, rice, salad, AND hot pot. Honestly, I could have done without the hot pot, but I know some people are into that. Interesting bathroom art as well. Definitely worth checking out.

2020-03-07 03:45:01This place is a hidden secret. $23 for all you can eat hotpot and grilled bbq. Pretty good quality for the price. Also you get to see these huge paintings the owner painted herself. She told me it took her only 2 hours each. Come visit this family owned restaurant.

2018-03-31 01:25:52Food is really good. Staff is amazing and attentive. Feels like a mom and pop restaurant and I really enjoy this vibe. It’s well located on Castro Ave, all you can eat is cheap and they provide as much as you want. Even when we don’t come eat here we order through a delivery app and it’s just as delicious (unluckily for us, it’s not all you can eat at home hah!). You’re definitely gonna enjoy when you come.

2019-04-04 03:51:21Excellent service. I didnt know much about Korean food, so went conservative: marinated beef. Well, it came with rice, vegetables, rice noodles and miso soop, and it was all delicious. Will definitely come back and try the other things they have.

2019-03-25 18:56:40All you can eat for hot pot and Korean BBQ! The hot pot is really great but a little salty. For BBQ, we had 6 kinds of meat, but quality of meat is soso. It is located in the downtown Mountain View.

2022-09-22 03:11:16This review is long overdue. I cant rave about this place enough! My husband and I are regulars here -- Its our favorite place to pop in for dinner whenever we have a craving, and the food is always top-notch. Its great that theres never a wait. But the real thing that sets this place apart is the service.The couple who owns the restaurant is super kind, caring, attentive, and lovely. The owner/hostess started to recognize us after our first few times in, and now two years later, she greets us like old friends, knows our order, and we take a bunch of our friends and family!The food is always, ALWAYS delicious! Such a kind and wonderful family -- their passion and dedication shows in their food. The meat is always well-marinated, flavorful, tender, and delicious. The hot pot is phenomenal. We routinely get the all-you-can-eat. They always have something new to try for the adventurous eaters, and its fun to see the K-pop music videos playing while you eat.My husband and I just love it here, and cant recommend it enough. Its a great place to take a group, or just to go for a dinner with quick and friendly service.

2023-05-11 03:06:10My friend picked this restaurant by accident, bad smell, terrible environment, meat with weird sauce. The waiter was so eager to close the restaurant and leave, so basically no service except being able to checkout, 2 groups of people enter the restaurant and wait and leave bc no service. no grill plate change and even petty side dish and water (half full, first time to ever see this in my life)
