    A9. Steamed Egg and bbq
    Elizabeth M.

    First time was deliciously successful. Tried all sorts of items, enjoyed them all. Authentic tasty place I recommend.

    I have eaten at this restaurant several times with visitors and for my birthday. The korean food here is very good, the family usually get the Korean BBQ Keum combo with the soup, Banchan, and the Meats, which have been consistently good everytime when we ate here. The staff got our orders correct, and I do love their steamed Egg in this restaurant. Very spacious place where there are many tables where you can cook Korean BBQ and can hold many people per table as guests. Overall 4.3/5

    Was pleasantly surprised when we were able to book a party of 14 at 5:30pm for 6pm on a Saturday evening. Inside is very spacious and there were only four or five tables being served at the time. We were seated in a front section for bigger parties and the table setup was strange. There was a long section with the grill in the middle then just a metal bar and then the second table began with a six inch gap and just the metal bar. The second table also did not have a built in grill in the table but a portable grill was placed on top. It was a bit disjointed. By the time we ordered there were many more tables filled which the impact was immediately felt as there were not enough servers. They removed the portable grill (maybe as we had children near that side) and were cooking meat for us at an empty table behind us. At first some of the servers started cooking off the meat but then they were so busy that they weren't able to keep track of some of the meat and the pork belly was burned on one side. We weren't given new meat or offered a refund. I understand that they were quite busy. On to the food. Coming from Chicago where there is an abundance of Korean bbq the food was ok. The banchan was pretty tasty. Kimchi had a great spice and acidity to it. The steamed egg was soft and lush with egg flavor. The radish was sweet and tangy with a crunch. Standard potato salad and fishcakes. They had eggplant fried with rice flour that I have not had before. It lacked flavor but the rice flour texture was nice. The seafood pajun was done well as it was crispy with chew to the interior and decent amount of seafood. Had an order of jajameng and japchae for the kids and both were on the sweeter side but kids enjoyed them. The meat itself was pretty good. We went with bulgogi, kalbi and thick pork belly. We had asked for sesame oil and salt/pepper but sadly never received them given how busy they were. Only sauce provided was the fermented soy bean paste. We did receive a second round of banchan, but had to ask.

    Excellent service and excellent food!!! The bulgogi beef was the best I ever had. Will be back

    A9. Steamed Egg - LOVE! And eat ASAP so it doesn't over cook

    Got in really quickly. Nice selection of meats and seafood for bbq. I like that they helped at the grill at the start but I wanted to do the rest myself and it seemed that wasn't the way to do it. Love all the sides, great kimchi! Parking is crazy with the two grocery markets in the same strip mall. Park away from the restaurant or risk your car getting dented from people parking too close to you or shopping cars ramming into you - or you getting hit by cars in the lot. It's nuts. Gratuity included regardless of party size so read your receipt carefully.

    Delicious!!! We only tried appetizers but I will be back for the sizzling table experience. Super yummy and hot food. Rice cakes were great. Dumplings were 10/10.

    S4. Dumpling Soup
    Rose S.

    Been to a few Korean Bbq places in the area and this is by far my favorite. Its pretty big on the inside and it can get really busy on the weekends so expect a wait! We went with the combo for 2. It starts with your choice of dumplings or edamame, and steamed eggs, then 4 different meats - bulgogi, kalbi, bbq chicken and shrimp, all the sides and purple rice (which is so good). The meal ends with a cinnamon type drink. The food is cooked at the grill on the tabletop by staff and it comes out pretty quick. They also offer hot pots and food you can order if you're not looking for Korean bbq. I also ordered dumpling soup and hot green tea which was pretty good. The dumplings were really good and everything was filling and hearty which is what you expect at a Korean bbq place. On a side note, they do offer private karaoke rooms you can rent which is a really fun event with a group of friends!

    Great experience with friends! We got the Korean BBQ.

    Thank you for the great experience! My friends and I enjoyed the BBQ meats and all the wonderful side dish's! Service was great and we all enjoyed sharing and tasting the different meats. The spicy chicken, boneless ribs and Honey Pork were fantastic. For best flavor, make a reservation and request a table with the built in grill.

    We've tried several of the Korean BBQ places in this area and find this to be our favorite. Prices are ok - it's always an expensive meal. Service can be hit and miss, but we got great service. Food was great - slightly better than the others. Recommended.

    Kimchi hot pot
    Stacia G.

    Enjoyed this experience although a bit intimidating and didn't ask as many questions as I should have. I was delighted at the little salads and dumplings were amazing! Enjoyed the hot pot - lots of different flavors and kept steaming hot on our table with a burner. There was a birthday event the night we were there and the lights went down and music was played! Will have to return and ask some further questions!

    Stringy Beef, allegedly
    Danny P.

    Alright. This was my very first time trying Korean Bbq. Had no idea what to expect. There's two options: you can order a meal where the meat is already cooked, or order the raw meet and cook it yourself or have the waitress cook it for you. At the table there lies a built in grill/hot top where you can cook the meat. Kimchi: 10/10 good rich tangy flavor and texture Vegetable Freshness: 3/10 Onions could have been a little more crispy, they were sort of stale. Still tasted fine. Oh my, the broccoli was fake news lol straight from a freezer bag and damp. Seriously for the price charged they should offer fresh vegetables, at a minimum. Meat Freshness: 6/10 it depends on what you get, the beef cuts and pork was ok, was probably stored frozen then thawed the day of. Did not have a lot of texture. Both Pork and Beef was extremely chewy and fibrous. Not a good sign. Portion Size: 1/10 They were very, very small. Regardless if it's a precooked dish or you do the cooking at the table. Flavor: 7/10 Value: (negative) -10 /10 Yes my rating scale is possible lol...So insanely high priced for the low quality of food and the microscopic tiny portions. I spend over $50 and was still hungry after. My group and I ordered a few pork, beef, and veggie dishes. The beef was very stringy/chewy similar to that of bubble gun, and lacked flavor, low quality cheap cuts. Pork quality and flavor was better but again, very tiny portion and impossible to chew. Overall an ok place, apparently this is how all Korean BBQ places are in Southeast Michigan. No excuse for the low quality meats and veggies plus the tiny portion sizes.

    I was really looking forward to this meal, but it didn't go as I hoped. I was looking forward to having a nice cool Naengmyeon. While the menu called it simply "noodle soup" it clearly pictured Naengmyeon with transparent buckwheat noodles and choices of cold or spicy underneath it as would be expected when ordering Naengmyeon. What I got was some sort of salty ramen that didn't resemble the picture at all. I decided to try it because we had been there well over an hour before our meal came. It was really disappointing and not something that I would recommend or order again. Regarding our service I'm not sure what happened. We had been seated for 45 minutes with water and cutlery only while we waited for the rest of our party. We tried numerous times to get the attention of several staff members to no avail. While they made eye contact with us they never returned to our table to take our appetizer or drink orders. When service did finally begin it was pretty quick but not friendly. They added an 18% gratuity for a party of 5 which was pretty unexpected. I've eaten here before and had better service and better food but this trip was pretty awful and I'm not sure if I will return. If I do I will update my review.

The service isn't bad, but I think the expectation is that you will let them know if you need something. They don't keep an eye on your water or drinks, but they were quick to fill them once we flagged them down. We tried some of our personal favorites and new things. They had a corn tea, which I never tried before. The flavor is hard to describe and a bit outside my preferences. It has a strong earthy corn taste. It was hot and came in a big pot. The banchan were awesome. I loved their kimchi, cucumbers, and fish cakes the most. They also had a seaweed salad and bean sprouts. We have tried sundubu jjigae with pork, kimchi fried rice, fried dumplings, japchae, and pajeon. I wouldn't get the sundubu again. There was something strongly overpowering the soup that was too intense for me and kind of bitter. Ive ordered this soup before at other locations, so I was surprised that it didn't suit my palate. The pajeon was huge. I prefer them thin, and this one was crazy thick. It was also overpowered with garlic, and I don't think those words have ever come out of my mouth before. What I would order again---japchae, kimchi fried rice, and dumplings! I love that they have so many options, and I had fun trying new things.

Service is a bit more hands-off, but I personally prefer that so it was a good experience in my book! One thing I must say is that I felt the menu was a bit limited. A lot of the menu consists of soup, which obviously isn't a bad thing (I personally LOVE soup), but my partner felt a bit of disinterest as he's not too keen on it. We opted for bbq and a shared entree (I can't recall the name, but it had pork belly and squid) instead. Both were tasty! The bbq also came with sides and two bowls of rice.

This time we got the bibimbap, black goat soup, and a bone soup. We also got Jap Che for appetizer. Everything was satisfactory. Both the soups were piping hot.

My 4 year old was a big fan of the food too- and they gave her a cute pink plate to use so she loved that. Also tried the Bokbunja, Korean raspberry wine, and it was good! Moderately sweet berry flavor, more of a dessert-y wine, it was fun to try!

It's not easy to find and I never learned to make it myself; I'm always looking for it on menus. A couple years ago, I was in Lansing for a business trip and had Loco Moco at a place and was super impressed. I went to write a review about a month later and found they were closed. Imagine my surprise when I saw they were reopening a short bit later, but in Troy! This review is long overdue. The Loco Moco is my favorite by far; the gravy is incredibly savory, the burger patties are well seasoned, and the egg yolks are perfectly runny. Served on top of rice + with some perfectly made Mac Salad (not "pasta salad"), every bite is so good!! I also really enjoy the Meat Jun special that they have every once in awhile and the Pork specials they had for a bit were quite good as well. In their previous space in Lansing, they had a bigger space with more tables and the eat in service was handled very well. In Troy, I read that they specifically picked a smaller space to largely do take out/pick up only due to personal circumstance. They have always been personable when I pick up, which is incredibly often; thankfully, they also always seem pretty busy, which is good, I need them to keep making delicious food for a long time. :)
