    Side dishes / banchan
    James X.

    Authentic, affordable, delicious and a great atmosphere. The banchan were good and they were generous with the refills. The dolsot bibimbap was great and a good portion. You can't beat the prices here for good tasting Korean.

    5 star food if you're ready to wait a bit. We went to 5Star Korean BBQ on one of their busiest days and they only had one server. But it was totally WORTH THE WAIT! We got the the beef bulgoki, crunchy seaweed appetizers and soju. Very good quality food, the flavors are authentic and the ambience very cozy and warm.

    I don't think this tiny kbbq gets enough credit. I've read plenty of bad reviews about the food and service. However, I disagree. Yes there seems to only be two workers. One cook and one server. But they are trying their best to make their customers happy. Although I read and took the bad reviews into consideration, I asked the husband to take me on a good venture to try it out ourselves. During our visit, it wasn't that busy dining in. There were at least 2-3 tables ahead of us. We did notice that take out our delivery was quite busy though. We wanted to try their kbbq grill menu. And to be honest, it appears they downsized their menu to only having two meat options on their kbbq menu. Everything else was cook to order. Which is understandable since there is only two workers. We order both pork belly and the beef brisket with the kimchi dumpling & fried seaweed rolls. With the grill menu, we got four sides (kimchi, picked bean sprouts, kimchi cucumber and spicy fish cake). It is less than what you're normally served at any other kbbq places. But then again, it was prefect for just the two of us. The portion for the price was however a lot more than what we would typically receive at other places. Overall, 5 star korean bbq was great. The server was very tentative and made sure we were ok throughout our visit. During these hard times, some places are struggling to make ends meet and are trying their best. This would be one of those trying places. If you're not open minded and patient, I would suggest you not to go their because you'll probably just give them a terrible review. Note: yes there aren't any ventilation so you will end up walking out smelling delicious. Due to the small size of the restaurant, they do use tin foil to cover the grill which you will cook on. You won't get that nice char on your meat but it is still edible!

    I think the flavors are pretty authentic which is the most important thing. I am a crazy Dukboki fan and always order it at a Korean restaurant. Here at Five Star they make it very spicy (Korean-style sweet & spicy) , although the dish is still yummy. Hubby said his pork belly & kimchi stir fry is great to eat with rice. He wish the dish could be drier with just kimchi & pork belly though. The side dishes are okay - nothing really special. And they are not free to refill. The pleasant surprise is the appetizer deep fried sea weed. So crispy and yummy - we just could not stop eating one after one!

    $16.99 sweet potato noodle w/ shredded beef. 4 pieces of beef. Nope, not a slab. Heavy on the noodles. Maybe they give more during dine in.

    N-1. Jop Chae$15.99 Clear Thin Sweet Potato Noodle Stir-Fried withVegetables and Shredded Beef. The same price via door dash as the store. They have a touch of sweet. I added onions. The kimchi dumplings have a kick. But of spice which should be expected from the Kim chi. The take home sides are (1) potato, (2) Kim chi, (3) something starchy with sauce, (4) soy sauce and I liked Kim chi and something starchy in sauce. Id like to try the $9.99 lunch offering. Right now I'm puzzled as to why I was given white rice and what goes with it. It's not like they gave a bunch of meat. All in all, I'd recommend but warn they are not generous with the protein.

    Bibimbap
    William

    Bibimbap was decent, but the service was quite poor. The most funny moment was when the waitress slammed the pen on the receipt as if she were smashing a stone, making us feel like we were being commanded to sign it.

    Great place, great food! Definitely satisfied my Korean bbq cravings! I went with my whole family and received great service from the employees. Also loved how they played kpop in the restaurant. I already want to go back again

    Soju original and beer. Asahi beer.

    Great prices for k bbq. Pretty good banchan - especially the tofu skins. Excited to go back!

    This is the only Korean BBQ place with a grill I can kind in the area, so I decided to give it a shot. We came around 7 pm on a Saturday, and it was not busy at all. We got seated at a grill immediately. However, there were only 2 grill options (pork belly and brisket), and all marinated dishes were prepared in the kitchen. We decided to switch to the a regular table since all that interests us were the marinated dishes. That being said, we ordered kimchi dumplings, bulgogi, galbi, and sam gyup sal kim chi. I was not disappointed. The kimchi dumplings were good, but not amazing. They were extremely crispy, but the filling was very mediocre, nothing special. I probably would not order again. The bulgogi and galbi was delicious. They were both sweet, but not too sweet, and savory. Lastly, we got the Sam Gyup Sal Kim Chi Bokeum. This was also very tasty. It had the perfect amount of spice and the sauce was excellent. The portion sizes were also perfect for two people. We ended up taking half of each dish home since we ordered 3 entrees. Overall, I would rate this experience 4 stars. There were only two servers, and it was difficult to get their attention when needed. Although, the service was still relatively fast. I love having a grill experience with Korean BBQ so that was disappointing for me. It would also be nice if it was AYCE. The prices were a tad bit overpriced, but you cannot find much food like this around here so I am willing to pay. I would definitely come again in the future.

    Not a good service, asking extra small sides with charged. The food is expensive but it is okay to eat. I won't come back.

    Is this AYCE (all you can eat) Korean BBQ?

    Unfortunately, it is not although it's really authentic!

    Our group of five tried Hot Pot 608 on University Avenue last night. I always love a good hot pot…read moreand Hot Pot 608 did not let me down. We were greeted immediately and led to our table. Our waiter came by and learned that we had not been to this hot pot, so he walked us through the process. Like other hot pots I have been to, they have a sauce station with various ingredients and directions for making a number of sauces and you pick your broth(s) in advance, and they bring it to your table. You can have two separate broths in each pot using a divider. But this was different in that this is an All You Can Eat (AYCE) Hot Pot. Other Hot Pots also have options for AYCE noodles and maybe potato or sweet potato, but this was AYCE for everything including appetizers, vegetables, seafood, and meats. It was $35 per person which seemed high at first but once you realize how much food you can get it is well worth it. We started by ordering some appetizers. Honestly, I probably could have made a meal just w/those. We tried pot-stickers, pork egg rolls, fried chicken teriyaki, and shrimp dumplings. I wasn't' a huge fan of the egg rolls, they coating was pretty dense, but everything else was great. When I go back, I'd like to try the pork buns. We ordered our first set of meats as well as rice which they bring to you and then headed up to the refrigerators where they keep the vegetables, additional meats, seafood and noodles. I won't list all of the options, check out their menu, but suffice it to say it was truly impressive. I was really pleased w/the quality of the food including the seafood like squid, shrimp and fish balls. I also loved the variety of vegetables including lotus root, black fungus, enoki and king oyster mushrooms, Bok-choy, napa, and broccoli. It's a fun dining experience to cook your food in the broth. My favorite was the spicy marrow. We ordered more appetizers and more rice. There are some options for dessert but other than the custard bun I didn't try any. Honestly there were so many options to choose from, but I was so full by the time I left that I didn't try even a quarter of the different items. I would definitely go back to Hot Pot 608. A fun, tasty, and filling dining experience.

    From someone who eats a lot of hotpot from the bay, I would say I was not expecting this place to…read morebe credible, but it was SO DELICIOUS! There was only one server so props to him for serving, expoing, bussing etc. the meats and soup came out super fast. I enjoyed the meats quality (kept it to seafood, lamb, and beef.) and they have everything available to grab at the counter area. Sauce is do it yourself, and it looks questionable with the colors, but it was still reminding me of home and it was flavorful. They had some buffet style desserts like jello. I got the crawfish, shrimp, konjac jelly, fish tofu, vermicelli, clams, black mushrooms and etc on the side.
