    Such a classic KBBQ place along Telegraph! I’ve been here quite a few times and it’s always got good service and good meats (and sundubu jjigae as a soup lover!!). It’s always a good time at this place and you can’t really go wrong with so many options and the fact that it’s all you can eat!

    All you can eat for 32. Short ribs are the best. Their banchan is also excellent. Staff are friendly and attentive, we never had to wait to order more meat. The only areas of improvement would be brighter lighting (when it gets dark), providing wet wipes or more napkins from the start (grilling is a messy process), and cleaner restrooms. But the service and the food was great, so I'm still giving a 5 star review.

    I wanted to try something new for my birthday so we tried this Korean BBQ place. It took us awhile to figure things out but the food was fabulous! The staff was very friendly and kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. For appetizers we got the seafood pancakes, the veggie pot stickers, and the cheese corn. All were excellent and we would definitely get them again. I think I would also get the onion rings so they would be cooked already as I'm impatient and don't want to wait for my veggies to cook. We got the bulgogi, sirloin, galbi (short ribs), and garlic sesame pork belly. The sirloin didn't have a lot of flavor. The pork was pretty good especially with a little sauce from the pancakes on it, but the bulgogi and galbi were out of this world! Next time we're just going to get lots of those two! Definitely recommend and I will come back.

    Wasn’t sure what to expect because hadn’t had Korean BBQ in this area, but it turned out a great experience. First thing I noticed is they’re very nice. Very welcoming. That sets the tone. Next thing I noticed is they have a fairly large rectangular grill which is better than the circles I usually see. And they are fast about changing the grill expeditiously as it gets gunked up with the sauces. It’s spacious and yet urban nice inside. Perhaps a little dark but different strokes for different folks. We were in the side room which was darker. About 40 for the all you can eat, which I would recommend. You get two appetizers and four meats at a time. Also can get a couple sides and/or veggies. Good selection of meats. And the meats are GOOD portion size. And good thickness. Excellent soup and sides. Specifically the tofu soup. Softener kinds of rice. All goodness. You will leave here full of you get the all you can eat. Parking lot is a little odd. Slotted, angled spaces; so you need to back out to the street to exit. But at least they have a posting lot at all! Better than street parking.
