    They sent me to buy a chicken here for dinner and when I got home my whole family clowned me bc the chicken was missing both legs and also his heart and liver and it was SMALL now my momma is BIG mad you can only imagine..

    Gallina del rancho para preparar mole.

    Pollo fresco recién procesado. No tiene hormonas. El sabor es único y exquisito. Se le atiende con amabilidad y respeto. Gallina india Pato Pollo rojo Pollo blanco.

    I have always had a good experience here. They ask you what your cooking to guide you to what kind of chicken taste best. I'm sorry to hear people had bad experiences since this isn't what I've encountered. The lady at the desk actually pointed out the unemployment special. Very nice and above all the chicken is Delish. If your making caldo this chicken is a must. Might cost more but you can beat how clean they are and the taste. I really thought I was eating caldo de pollo in Mexico.

    Quality-meat market with beautifully marbled beef where the hefty price tag is fully justified…read more Anyone working the counter that I've met is knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. Instead of upselling, it's the kind of top-tier, no-bullshit customer service where they WANT to help you find the perfect cut of meat for your needs. The past couple of times i've been here, they've offered me free rice paper to take home. Love coming here for special occasions! A savory treat for the palette indeed ~

    TL;DR - very friendly service, slightly pricey, wide delicious selection…read more I went in here for the first time earlier this week. It's a small store and you can literally look at everything they have within 5 minutes, but everything is well organized. They have a wide range of meats including dry aged steaks! That was a big surprise to me. They also have a good selection of banchans but if you're expecting a selection comparable to H-mart, then just go to H-mart. Note: they don't sell rice paper because they give it to you for free with your purchase. They even have selections including pork cheek and duck as well. So despite the small size of this business, they have essentially everything you'd want for korean bbq. I'll be returning next time to try their dry aged cuts! Lastly, the most memorable thing about this visit was the lady who helped me (I think she may have been the owner?). I didn't feel pressured to buy anything or rushed at all. Whenever I walk into a small store with only me or another customer, I often feel uncomfortable to buy or get out, but not here. Other than that, the only thing I'd mention is the pricing of their meat and sides. It's a little pricier than you'd expect, but for supporting a small business and getting quality meats, it's no big deal at all.

    Wow. Just. Wow. The food is excellent 5/5…read more Service is excellent 5/5. Ambiance is 5/5. We got the Kobe Slice Beef Don (with the egg) and the Omu-rice with hamburger steak and a beef and potato croquette. All were melt-in-your-mouth delicious and made our tummies so very happy. The omu-rice brought me back to my childhood, when my mom would make this for us. We were there on a Monday at 5:30 and walked right in. The service was helpful and friendly. Loved everything about Red Rock and we'll definitely be back!

    This was my third time ordering the sliced roast beef. The first two times I had it, it was…read moreexcellent, which made this visit especially disappointing. This time the meat looked different and had far too much sauce on it. There was a dark soy-based sauce that was much more noticeable than before. On my previous visits, the white sauce was the main added flavor and the darker sauce was minimal. This time the dark sauce dominated the dish and changed the flavor. The meat quality was also different than previous visits. It was chewy pieces and had a lot more connective tissue. One piece was so chewy that I eventually had to spit out a large amount of connective tissue. At that point I was no longer enjoying the meal. I really do not like returning food, but this dish was not good, so I sent it back. The waitress spoke with the chef and later told me it was "the same as always," but that was not my experience at all considering how much I enjoyed it on my previous visits. Instead, I ordered the 7 oz galbi set. It came with rice, miso soup, kimchi and bean sprouts. The kimchi and sprouts were delicious. The miso soup was extremely plain with only green onions and no tofu or seaweed, so I mostly skipped it. The galbi had a nice beefy, fatty flavor, but it was extremely chewy and over half of it was fat or connective tissue, so I would not recommend it. The rice was fine. I also tried the beef and potato croquette, which I really liked. Despite the disappointing food this visit, I still appreciated parts of the atmosphere. The relaxing music, comfortable chairs, and responsive waitress made the experience more pleasant overall.

Rinka explained each course, made recommendations, chatted and got to know our group and was very personable. Food was amazing as well. Enjoyed all the different cuts of wagyu beef. What was great is that each guest can custom their own experience or go with either of the 3 omakase style menu. In our party of 6, we were not all subject to picking just one experience for all- you can select one that is preferential to you. We did have our child with us who enjoys these things and being able to choose a lighter experience for the younger guests was truly nice. You can order ala carte as well and still enjoy the experience. Some of us chose the Butcher's omakase while others chose the more premium one with sake pairings. My favorite from the cuts were the tongue and the short rib! We were definitely full after the meal! Definitely worth coming back for!
