    It's a pretty average spot to me. I made reservations online so I didn't have to wait when I got here on a Friday evening. We got in and were seated right away. We didn't do the all you can eat because we really don't eat that much, but they did have an all you can eat option. We did do the bbq on the table. I tried the L.A Galbi and the pork belly. Each entree is served with rice and 3 sides. For the sides I got kimchi, fish cake, shiitake mushroom, cucumber salad, lettuce wrap, and shredded radish. I really liked my Galbi a lot. The kimchi tasted perfect. Other than that, I felt like the taste wasn't really there for the cucumber salad. It tasted just like vinegar and nothing else. I'm glad I got the lettuce wrap so I can eat it with my galbi. The sauce it came with was on point. The service here was pretty good. Will definitely be back to try some other items. It isn't like other traditional Korean restaurants, but it isn't bad at all.

    A beautiful new edition to the downtown area. Go with a group so you can share the experience. Go hungry as you will not leave hungry. We had three people. We received two types of one protein. Any amount of sides! Be brave and try something new. We tried the beef and shrimp. Everything was delicious. And cooking is a lot of fun. The blue raider sushi roll was excellent.

    we went post lunch around 3 and the restaurant was dead. very clean restaurant and the open space was surprising but nice. I can imagine it gets really loud when it's busy! our server was excellent, she was super sweet and helpful. I ordered sushi (disco roll) and it was good but there was LOTs of sauce on it which made the roll a little overpowering and too salty. for $16 a roll, I may try something else next time. I am excited to come back!

    My family and I had a genuinely grand visit at Fire Korean BBQ today. A big shout out to Heather our server for making our experience great. She did a great job explaining how everything worked. I truly appreciate her advice on trying all the Bantan dishes. There were about ten options. Most were good, some much tastier than others, but 5 got call backs for seconds. The protein options that we picked were all great. We had beef bulgogi, spicy bulgogi, Hawaiian bulgogi, pork bulgogi, spicy pork and spicy shrimp. Your party is allowed two protein choices within any given meat category each round you order. The food is packed with flavor. This KBBQ is all you can eat with a two hour limit. The ambiance is casual and quaint. Reservation can be made but are not required.

    This was great! Came on a Saturday night so it was pretty busy. We sat at the bar and service was good. My friend and I both ordered the chicken bibimbap, which was great! The chicken was perfectly cooked, I enjoyed the rice with some crunchy pieces at the bottom, and there was a variety of toppings. It was nice to have a few different dipping sauces to try too. Would be a nice place to go on a date.

    This was our first time here and we were celebrating our anniversary. The food was amazing we did the unlimited and everything we ate was so delicous and had so much flavor. Definitely worth giving a try and we will be back. The service was great as well our server to great care of us. It's very nice and kept clean as well.

    This isn't your authentic AYCE Korean bbq. You are only allowed to 2 meat choice at a time . We had 4 ppl and each meat choice we got we only got 2-3 slice per order. Example if we order galbi we only got 2 slices for 4 ppl. You can't mix up your meat order from pork, beef or seafood . It's one at a time. For the sides... you are limit to 3 per order . WTF! The worse Korean bbq experience I ever had. This is not authentic this is more an Americanize than any authentic Korean bbq . Go to Arisu if u don't wanna drive to one in Nolensville . It's by far way better than this place. Took 20mims to get our first 2 order of meat choice out. Smh Only thing good was their LA galbi . Their spicy pork Bulgogi. And pork belly was sour. The ribeye was cut so thin it felt like a flank steak.

    I'm not sure why there are so many 1 stars for service. Maybe things change but there were some about a month ago and one in particular 9 days ago. I can tell you, the 9 days ago is a fake review judging by the picture of the server. That was not cute or funny. Some of us really want to help the owner be a better restaurant by providing honest reviews. Now, as for the food, it is hands down good! I was stationed in Korea and the "banchan" (sides) are typical. They come cold. If you want them hot put them in the grill. This was our first time at the restaurant and had no issues with wait time or service. As a matter of fact Alana (I hope I spelled her name right) was the best by far server we've had since moving here to Tennessee. That says a lot as you can clearly see we have tried many restaurants by my profile. She was quick, friendly, explained everything to my husband (because he has never been to a Korean bbq before). She gave us recommendations and was very engaging. She frequently checked on us and asked if we were ready for another round of "all you can eat". I prefer the beef when it comes to Korean cuisine but we tried the pork. Although it was just as tasty as the beef, even my husband preferred the beef. My tips: if there's just two of you ask for an extra plate for the cooked meat. Of course it was way too much just for my husband and I (because we really don't eat a lot) but we had to give it a try. Along with the all you can eat I ordered the Sashimi Tuna and Salmon! They actually know the difference between sashimi and sushi!!! Let me say this: the tuna and salmon were mouth watering! Cut a perfect size and very delicious! If you haven't tried Korean bbq I recommend Fire Korean BBQ on the Square at the Boro. My husband is hard to please but when he says something is tasty, it's a 5 out of 5! He was impressed with the amount of food, the quality and taste, and most of all the fried rice! He said this is the best fried rice I've had! Bravo to the chef's!!! Why didn't I give it a 5 star? Well, the music wasn't our preference and a bit too loud. We had to ask Alana to repeat what she said because of the music. In fairness, Alana has one of those voices that she's soft spoken but she was talking loud enough for us to hear, but the music drowned her out from time to time. Another thing that I noticed, majority of the TVs were playing some kind of sports. I felt it was trying to be a "sports bar" than a Korean bbq restaurant. There were two (I believe) tvs that were playing some type of nature channel. But it's just preference right? You can't please everyone. We will be back and now we have choices of Korean food in the Boro! It was a pleasant experience and boy oh boy! We were stuffed! Had to walk around the square after we ate! Well done staff! The owner should be proud!

    This place is a disgrace to society me and my family went there. We had a reservation and we arrive 30 minutes early. We gave it a solid 15 minutes before walking into the door when we asked the table was already booked out with 17 people we talked to a worker there and she said to get the manager, but the manager never showed their face. We waited for a solid hour before anything happened and nothing was happened so we decided to go to another restaurant. We asked the customer about how their food was and they said absolutely amazing then we saw them throwing up. We also saw a mouse run by and he puked

    Loaded Bulgogi Fries. Sorry, they were half eaten before taking the photo.

    Recently added to the Murfreesboro Square dining options. Clean and well laid out open design, TVs on the walls with comfortable booths or chairs and tables. Fire offers Sushi, BBQ/Grill & various Korean selections. We had the fries and rolls only today. Fries were amazing! House manager, Teresa, recommended them topped with spicy chicken next time around. Our server Ben was very helpful with roll suggestions and knowledge of their products. Will try bbq/grill next time the table 2 over had it and it smelled amazing. 2 tips, Mondays are half price rolls and the second is just a FYI, your clothes will carry the aroma with you if there are a lot of grills going. Not a bad thing just if you have something afterwards be aware. Definitely would recommend if you're in the mood for a Korean fusion meal. Delicious.

    Great food and atmosphere. Go see Marcus at the bar. You won't be disappointed. Bulgogi sushi roll is on point.

    -Got beef, pork, and Hawaiian bulgogi & pork belly- all were really good - well marinated -Price was great for KBBQ cheaper than some of the competitors in mboro- about $38pp for dinner. -All the aesthetic chill vibes - great location. They also have vents in the floor so the smoke stays under control which is cool. Awesome meats, awesome sides, and Mario was an awesome server! Everyone was super nice and attentive. 10/10 would recommend Will defo be back

    Poke Bowl, Rice

    The only reason I did not give a 5 star is that the service was only average, and it took quite a while to get our food to table with a main dish coming out before our appetizer, however the food was awesome and very reasonably priced for the quality & portion sizes we felt. I am a Kimchi snob, and theirs is excellent, poke bowl w/tuna, pork belly, kimchi fried rice - all terrific, very tasty & we brought home leftovers.

Stopped in for lunch today and was greeted enthusiastically and warmly by no fewer than 3 different courteous employees. I truly did feel welcome. Parking was a breeze - Handicap spots right outside the front door and plenty more in the spacious lot. Indoor and outdoor seating (a bit chilly today so I stayed inside.) Menu is large - both in readability (on wall behind cashier) and number of options. I was on the lookout for brisket - one of my faves, especially having been a cattle farmer for nearly 30 years.) Hands down, today's brisket was on top of the heap. And a generous heap of beef it was...4 tender, juicy, succulent, flavorful, black-crusted thick slices that spilled out over the edges of the bun. Didn't really need the bun...it was perfect on its own. And, yes, I'll order it again.

Having both options at one table is a total win, especially for a group with different tastes. The Highlights: * Better Quality Meats: Compared to some other AYCE (All You Can Eat) spots, the meat quality here is definitely a step up. * Must-Order Cuts: The Galbi is flavorful and tender, and the KPOT Steak is another standout--it's high-quality and cooks up perfectly on the grill. * Spacious Vibes: This place is huge! It's very spacious for big parties, so if you're bringing the whole family or a large group of friends, you won't feel like you're squeezed in. The Tech & Service: * iPad Ordering: I love the convenience of ordering from the iPad right at the table. It makes the process feel seamless. * One at a Time: Just a heads up--even if you order multiple quantities of an item, they tend to still only bring one out at a time. It can slow things down a bit when you're hungry, but it does help prevent food waste. * The Sauce Bar: The sauce area is fantastic with tons of options, though it can get pretty crowded during peak hours. You might have to time your trip to the bar strategically! Overall: The prices are decent for the amount and quality of food you get. It's a reliable, fun experience that keeps our family coming back.
