The…read morestaff were super friendly and attentive, there were plenty of tasty side dishes, the menu wasn't complicated to navigate, and your meats were made to order. I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere and family environment. I didn't get a chance to grab the itemized receipt but I chose #3 in the combo section which was brisket, pork belly, and boneless short ribs. That's totaled out to $111.34 with tax included. Unfortunately I had to cut my meal short. I definitely recommend this restaurant and many others in the Ellicott City area. Overall 4.1 of 5

You can really tell they prioritize quality over quantity. Service is quick and you get seated right away. I came in on a Saturday morning. It's à la carte rather than all-you-can-eat, but honestly, it's 100% worth it. Every dish feels intentional, and the meats cook beautifully on the grill. If you're looking for true Korean BBQ with premium cuts and an authentic experience, this spot delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality KBBQ.

We tried out a combo meal of 6 with ribeye, sirloin, mainly beef. The servers also grilled and cut all the meats for us which is nice. All side dishes are pretty standard like most other Korean restaurants. A delicious bowl of steam eggs came with the meal, wish they would at least offer two bowls for a party of 6 and surprisingly no rice came with the combo. We had to add an extra order of steak and seafood pancake since no one was really full with the combo. I would say this place is for those who have high expectations of fresh & premium meats. You will not be stuff or over indulged because it can be quite pricey. Our bill with tips & taxes was about $55 per person. It's a bit pricey for lunch and I wasn't even full. If you never been to this restaurant before, I recommend that you try it out at least once but I don't think we will be back here anytime soon.

Given the various Korean restaurants in the area, I must say that this place is a great spot for family, friends and group gatherings. The food here is very fresh and the staff are very friendly. We ordered various dishes from their LA Galbi, Bossam, Fish and tofu soup combo, seafood pancake, spicy pork and their rice cake soup. The LA Galbi was the best we had in town. Tons of flavor and the meat was juicy and meaty. The Bossam was delicious. Pork was tender and comes with sides to help you bring out the flavor of the dish. Definitely ask for their bean sauce and slices of jalapeño and fresh raw garlic. The fish and tofu soup is really good and can be shared with others. Fish was fresh and flaky. The seafood pancake was thick and has tons of seafood and comes with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy pork was plenty and has tons of flavor. Not too spicy. The rice cake soup was surprisingly good. Tons of flavor with slices of rice cake, eggs and pieces of beef. Great for sharing especially with young kids. Overall, this place is great to check out if you are in the area. Comes hungry and you will be satisfied. Cheers!

Seafood Pancake -- such a comfort food and cooked perfectly! 2. Oh Sam Durichigi (pork and squid stir fry) -- we cleaned out this dish, great flavor! 3. Bossam -- worth the hype! The pork belly was not as flavorful but comes with sauces. Some the meat was dry for this dish. 4. Beef bulgogi (no pictured) -- honestly paled in comparison of the other dishes and had the driest meat. I wouldn't get it again tbh

I ordered the six‑piece soy garlic wings with fries, and he went with the spicy chicken strips and rice. When he arrived at the restaurant, about 15 minutes away, the order wasn't quite ready, so he had to wait a few minutes. When he picked up the bag, it felt light, so he checked and realized my fries had been forgotten. They corrected it right away, and they were very generous with the portion. My husband thinks they may have added extra to make up for the oversight. One thing I really appreciated: despite being carry‑out, nothing was soggy. Our wings, chicken strips, and fries were still super crispy by the time we sat down to eat, which is rare. With how expensive food is these days, we felt the lunch menu was reasonably priced at $11.99 per entrée. I've definitely missed dining here, and I hope to take advantage of their weekday lunch specials, available from 11 to 3 PM, more often.

KARE BAR CLOSED! But there in spirit???…read more I stopped by today to see that Kare Bar was replaced by a place called Jumak Cafe. Was super sad and then saw reviews for Jumak and saw that it apparently still looks pretty similar inside and has some of the same items as Kare Bar but more Korean food now. It's closed on Mondays!

After each taking a single bite, we realized it wasn't to our taste, so we politely asked to exchange it for something else we knew we'd enjoy. When the manager on duty approached us, he came across as hostile and irritated. He told us that returning food "isn't right" and that "you don't do that," which felt completely uncalled for. We weren't trying to cause a problem -- we were willing to order something else and continue enjoying our meal. I have no idea why he felt it was acceptable to speak to us that way, but it was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. The manager who worked 2/14/2026 closing shift is completely unprofessional!
