The first time I came the lady that helped me was so nice and patient especially since I came in with a large group! (The second time I came I was a pro so I didn't need any help ) Food review : I tried the honey garlic boneless chicken Rose ddeoboki and secret sauce boneless chicken. The chicken is super crispy outside while maintaining a moist and juicy inside. I love all the different and fun flavors making this place one of a kind! . I also enjoyed the ddeoboki and the sauce reminded me almost of a creamy tomato  pasta it was so fun and tasty I recommend adding on the cheese :) !!

We had no prior reservations and the restaurant wasn't crowded when we arrived, we were seated immediately for a party of four. The sweetest lady took great care of us. She was actually able to remember all of our orders without writing anything down and I found that to be quite impressive. I ordered the Korean corn dog and the takoyaki balls. Both were pretty good! For my entree i personally ordered the beef bulgogi. Which was phenomenal, very delicious! It was fun to cook our own food to our liking and after each protein is cooked you get a fresh plate to cook a new dish. I think this is a great Korean bbq joint. They certainly made my first experience pleasurable. Personable employees and attentive service, I definitely would recommend!

Food: There are a variety of Korean dishes to try from. The Katsu is a very large portion. The meat itself is the same size as my face. It is fried to a nice golden brown and has a crispy exterior with a juicy interior. The sauce adds the extra flavor to bring the whole dish together.

I've grown up going to Chicago's suburb Glenview which is known for their good Korean food spots. This is pretty close to what you can get there. During this visit, I got the Soon Doo Boo. It had pretty good flavor, and wasn't too spicy. It also came with rice which was a nice touch. My friend got the Bulgogi fried rice which was also really good. Flavor was solid there. The whole process went smoothly. They give us buzzers to get food from the front counter. Other than that, the inside space was nice. Got the k-pop playing at a good volume in the background. Also got free water which is always a plus in my books. Excited to try more from their menu in the future!
