great experience! food was so good. would come here again. all you can eat. was so full afterwards

Love love looove this place. It's such a vibe. The staff is great. I can't here last year for the 1st time for my bday and twice this week . Looking forward to our next visit already. This is what our table looked like today, just a starter lol.

Free sides

Wow I did not take enough pictures. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because our waiter could have given us more attention. We have the meat scissors and tongs but I couldn't tell if we were able to eat yet or if we can use the tongs or not to flip the meat. I just think we could have been guided better. Chadol- you can never go wrong with chadol Pork belly - we had the thick cuts Pork galbi - saucy Free sides to order and more sides at the bar! There's a parking lot in the back.

I love the spicy pork the most! It's sweet and spicy and I really love it But I don't really like the way they serve the food. Because it's ALL YOU CAN EAT, so I would like to try more different meat, rather than just eat one thing and a lot. But they gave us too much brisket at the very beginning, so people will be very full and could not eat other meat soon. They can actually serve less, anyway it's all you can eat, people can order few more times, and we don't need to waste the food. Secondly, the room temperature is very low, except the dining area. Seems they didn't turn on the heat because they think the dining area is warm enough.

2 hr limit. dang

All you eat spot in cliffside park. there was plenty of street parking on the Saturday I came. the quality of the food was not as good compared to the other AYCE kBBqs around the area. they do serce alcohol

Holy moly! What a great experience! My friends and I went on a Saturday night not expecting much. We had to wait a bit, but it was because there was one server doing everything! This server was great- Dave! He was so friendly, and guided us through our entire meal! The meat portions were perfect, he grilled and cut our meal for us- what more could we ask for? The banchan were also self serve and you're welcome to grab as much as you would like. They also had soju to order. We had a terrific time there! We would definitely return if we're in the area! Thanks Dave for your hospitality and for making it amazing for us! I forgot to mention how tasty the meats were! It was even better to have someone cook for us! Everything was cooked to perfection!

All in all, I thought this place was good, but I'm sure there are better, comparable Korean bbq spots. They take care of the cooking here, so it's a good introduction to Korean bbq if you're a first timer. That said, the guys on the floor are very busy cooking for all of the tables, and so you'll have to do some cooking to prevent your food from getting burnt. Also felt like the service was a little slow because they are cooking for all of the tables. We asked to skip the pork galbi because we were getting full, but another server, who didn't hear our request, cooked it anyway instead of skipping it. So beware the multiple cooks when making requests Meats: generally under seasoned, but they provide some salt and dipping sauces on the side Seafood: well seasoned, they cook these for you last (after the meats) Sides: ok, they come out faster than the meats so you can snack on these while you wait. Wasn't a fan of their kimchi. Thought they could have let the mushroom cook a little longer

I did not have a great experience here. With so much competition with other AYCE KBBQ places in the local area - this place really score low. Charging $30 pp - it is comparable in price with other places as well. Here are some of my issues with the place: 1. Variety - limited in type of meat. There is nothing on the menu that makes this place unique either. 2. Freshness - we ordered some seafood - squid and shrimp. They were not fresh at all. 3. Grill "cleaning" - instead of just changing the grille - they decided to pour water on the grille while the meat is still on there and scrub off the char. This only cause the meat to 'steam' instead of grill and i dont feel that this is sanitary since there were still meat on there. 4. Limit on banchan - what? The best dish they have is steam egg - apparently there is a limit of 1 for the whole table. We were a party of 7. Unfortunately this establishment will not be in rotation for KBBQ.

We ordered a selection of items from the menu, including ribs, baked beans, brisket, potato salad, cornbread, and mac and cheese. However, I was disappointed with my order. The brisket was cold and dry, colder than the potato salad and the plastic-wrapped cornbread sides it was served with. I had to drink two glasses of water before I could even finish it. It appeared that they had intentionally left it out for an extended period. The mac and cheese was also disappointing. It was bland and unappetizing. A box of Kraft Blue Box mac and cheese is gourmet in comparison to the tasteless mac and cheese they serve as a meal. The ribs were the only item that was decent. In portion size. They tasted charred as if they had just come off the grill, but they were still bland, lacking flavor, seasoning, and moisture. The half-ounce sample of BBQ sauce that they provided was the only thing that saved them. Perhaps they should pour more of that into the condiment cups. Overall, I would not recommend this establishment. Coffee Shop furniture and decor just screams to go, but I write this so you don't go. The prices are high, the staff member is excellent, and the food is subpar and of low quality. I would suggest visiting Dallas BBQ instead.

Popped in early on a Monday Labor day, they were a bit short-staffed so we were seated and then…read moreleft to our own devices on ordering. A staffer brought over a reasonable but light sized selection of banchan (and not 100% sure how to get more after I asked and then apparently they were too busy to come back to give more). Rustic Korean look is about right - more like a bit of a drinking spot + food, and they had a section with candy ($2 each, you pay on your honor system) along with some old school video game cabinets. Located on the second floor, so take the stairs up or the elevator. The sides included some rice cake with fish cake in a sauce, scallion pajeon pancake slices, large pieces of nappa cabbage (cut later by a server rushing back), bean sprouts, some kind of mayo/egg salad, marinated broccoli, a few grilled slices of sausage meat, sliced large daikon pickles, and a few other items. The basic soup with kimchi and steamed egg was good. We ordered on the tablet and asked for water - they brought very nice cold barley tea (and they had a hot one later for my wife when we asked for that separately) - excellent on a hot day. The BBQ - they will grill it for you. We had the gas grill turned on, it was slightly tilted to let the grease runoff - the vent above. The special dry-aged pork belly was ok ($35.19), a little nutty/earthy and a bit "stinky". It was super fatty and good with the doenjang or sesame oil w/ salt. The pork short rib cuts were cooked in the kitchen and brought out on a little metal tray to keep warm, so that was immediately able to be eaten, that was marinated well, juicy, and less fatty but a small handful for ($35.19) - expected a bigger serving. We also tried the seafood pajeon - very thick, lots of scallions, some jalapeno, and only a little seafood chopped up on top. Perhaps the more traditional way - a thick layer of scallions and some batter on top, was what it felt like. The side of regular pajeon with the banchan was small and crisp and better, actually. The last dish was a shin ramen fried rice - pork fried rice mixed with a Shin Ramen and put on the grill - it was already ready to eat but the server made it into a nice little heart. Tasty mix. Went on Labor Day, so the buy 2+1 free meat wasn't applicable even though it was Monday-Friday summer deals. The check also had the 3.5% off but not the extra 5% on the tablet screen, so ended up just paying via card. I saw one group come in to try to sneak a bunch of beer they were bringing in themselves and probably left after being told they couldn't drink it or maybe there was a cork fee? The restaurant does serve alcohol. There were a number of delivery orders for pick up and people waiting on seating (it did get busy) so the one waitress was running around cooking BBQ, the manager/owner(?) was running back and forth between taking orders, making food in the kitchen, packing items, and getting folks seated, so that made some people impatient. Parking available around the corner at the Pocha restaurant or the muni lot across the street. Overall I've had better BBQ but it was a reasonable try.

We descended like a plague of hungry locusts here a comfortable 45 min or so before Jesus Hour was…read moreup (AKA Korean church). That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

We've been coming to Wooga for a very long time and it never disappoints. It's as authentic as you…read morecan get in the area. They rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs. It's fluffy, hearty, flavorful and it's always my kids' favorite. The meats are of good quality and I'm obsessed with their aged kimchi which comes with any pork order so make sure you request it. The service is great as they come and grilled the meats for you and they always grill it to perfection. The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case. We wanted to come here for a party of 8 on the weekend and they don't take reservations on weekends so we almost never make it as a big group because there's normally a very long wait time unless you come super early. This is my go to spot for Korean bbq and I think price is reasonable compared to other options considering the high quality of the food they offer. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

I've had Wooga bookmarked for the longest time because of the grilled oxtail, and finally had a…read morechance to come try it! I've never had grilled oxtail before, or seen it on any other KBBQ menus, so this was an absolute must for me. Wooga is legit - authentic, service is phenomenal & attentive, and the interior is cozy but relatively well ventilated. We waited about 15 mins on a Sunday night for a party of 2. True to my over ordering tendencies, I ordered the oxtail, the small beef set, and a small naengmyun. This was SO much food. The grilled oxtail was definitely an interesting experience. It still has all of the richness & fattiness, but the little crispiness from the grilling also makes it a really addicting texture. It was admittedly a little hard to eat with the bone pieces and with it being scorching hot, but I would get this again. The beef from the set was good, but we were struggling to finish. Each set also came with a steamed egg and kimchi stew, and there's always just something about KBBQ kimchi stews that slaps. The naengmyun was decent, not the best I've had but okay. Service here though deserves 5 stars. I accidentally dropped kimchi juice on my dress, and the waiter gave me a stain remover immediately. We never ran low on water, banchan, or sauces, and all meats were cooked to our liking. Parking is available to the side of the restaurant. Will definitely be back!

The good part was all the extra sides that the staff gave me with the box... very hospitable. Even offering more to compliment the dish. Do not get the Korean Fried Chicken... I ordered a 4pc and I couldn't tell if they were drumsticks or wings. The sad part was, they were all drumsticks yet looked like wings... mind boggling. It was a HUGE fried ball and the chicken was ginormous! This is bad- it means the chicken wings are injected with hormones. It gets worse, the batter was over fried... super dark and burnt. Finally, the taste was off. Not a fan of these at all. FYI: Parking can be tough since many spots are for tenants living in the condos.

From the moment we walked in, the place made a great impression. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and has a good music selection that adds to the overall vibe. There's a bar area in the front and a main dining room in the back, which gives the space a nice balance. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Private/Street Parking Atmosphere - The space is well designed and very clean. The combination of decor, lighting, and music creates an enjoyable dining environment. Having both a bar area and a main dining space makes it feel more spacious and well thought out. Service - The staff here really stood out. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. We ended up chatting with our waiter quite a bit, and he was extremely personable. He even took a song request from me and had it played, which was a really nice and unexpected touch that made the experience feel more personal. What We Ordered - The menu covers all the classic Korean BBQ staples you'd expect, along with some less traditional options like intestines and both spicy and non spicy chorizo, which made the experience more interesting. What really sets this place apart is their use of traditional cast iron pots instead of grills, which was a big deciding factor for us and gave the food a more authentic feel. A quick tip: ask for smaller portions when ordering. The servings are very generous. We switched to smaller portions after our first round so we could try more of the menu, especially since we don't visit the area often. Standout dishes for us were the Beef bulgogi, Beef brisket, Berkshire steak, Pork jowl, and the Braised crab meat soup. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, and these are definitely must order items in our opinion. Final Thoughts - For the price, this was a fantastic dining experience. Great food, generous portions, and genuinely friendly service made it well worth the visit. I would definitely come back again if we're in the area.
