It happened to be during their restaurant week so they have a few different specials going on. They have huge tv's showing various sports with high top chairs and regular tables as well. Our waitress (I think her name was Astrid) was beyond sweet and attentive, she explained all specials as well as the regular menu and made great recommendations. She brought us a plate with about 5 or 6 different sauces they make themselves it was so good. I felt the portions were a great full size and the meat quality was great. This place is perfect to grab a drink, watch the game and even have a bite to eat. It's nice for two people or even a group. They have a wide variety of drinks and food for good prices. If you are ever in the area please stop by to visit this place.

The BBQ brisket was not so good. I ask the cook for lean brisket and was given 30% fat From 1/2 lb . Payed for extra pickles and got 4 small pieces in it to go cup. The staff really acts like they don't care. No personality made to order from a computer screen. With a staff standing there, playing on their phones. Small amount of sauce. The banana pudding was good, but didn't have very much flavor. But I could tell they made the effort to make it a special dessert. Mac & cheese was OK. But wouldn't order it again. I live in the neighborhood and found them through a TikTok video. Really sad they can't run the restaurant like adults. Adult restaurant tours answer the phone adult restaurant tours have enough food to sell at least 30 minutes before closing. Adult restaurant tours make sure their customer happy. The place is run by children. I've spent 25 years in the restaurant industry and cannot understand the way this place is run. Was really hoping to find a good barbecue place in SF . This one is not IT

Brisket. Pork. Pulled Chicken Tacos…read more I went there for their notable BBQ Taco Hour Specials. Affordable for each taco, about $3-4 range. Added some Guacamole and Chips, and downed with Almanac True Lager beer, $2 off for beers. Tender meat, good mix of spices to bring out the meat flavors. Wished the meats were warmed up before bringing to our table for better taste with the taco. Setting is casual outdoor, weather fairly warm to enjoy a BBQ bite. Weather expected to pick up later that week. Service was efficient, friendly. I'd give it another try the next time in the area.

Good, but expensive. The briskets kind of hit and miss in that I sometimes get extremely fatty…read morecuts, extremely fatty. Also, if you order for delivery, it's ridiculous that they charge so much for barbecue sauce. The beans and potato salad are fantastic. The pulled pork is always very good. If they were more consistent with their brisket, and they weren't so ridiculous with their charging for sauce, I would put up with their higher prices and give them a much higher rating.

Well... I do now! Delicious, tender duck. Lots of bok choy with the noodles. The noodles could have been a little better quality but still were good. The waitress was fast and brought me hot tea right away. It's nothing fancy but it's good!

Pricey but worth it! I come here often for team dinners and I always look forward to eating here!…read moreGreat food, lively ambiance, and friendly service. For appetizers, we love: - Ayesha's freshly baked cornbread: buttery and soft pastry - 'Peking' pork belly bao buns: super delicate buns with juicy slices of duck - Double duck wings: crispy and yummy! For sides, we love the pork belly fried rice and the duck fat fries. SO flavorful and delicious. Fat just makes everything taste so good and I don't feel guilty at all about the amount of fries I had! The standout was my entree: the smoked galbi beef short ribs. I think this is my new favorite: the beef was ridiculously tender and cooked to perfection. It's pricey ($76), yes, but it's some of the best short ribs I've had and I highly recommend. I think it's worth it and you gotta treat yourself once in awhile!

I was impressed by their 3 sauces because 1 of them tasted like the one from Tasty Pot! The other sauces were sweet vinegar sauce which is pretty common and ranch. Appetizer-wise, we really liked their fried panko shrimp which was pretty crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside. They also had fried chicken. I'd pass on their new Thai marinated pork which was pretty mild in flavor. Same with the ginormous prawns unless you season it yourself.

The staff were super attentive too -- they came by quick to serve and refill our water. The beef short ribs was probably my favorite. Also appreciated that the place felt clean and not overly smoky like some KBBQ spots can get. Only small downside was that it got pretty busy, so there was a bit of a wait, but once we sat down the service moved quickly. Overall a really good spot if you're craving Korean BBQ. I'd definitely come back. All of the staff were really nice and polite. Shout out to one of our servers, Caleb!!! :)

Asians keep receipts but in a wholesome way We don't split love, we rotate blessings. For $49.99/person, this AYCE Korean BBQ was straight violating my self-control. The short ribs?? HELLA BUSSIN. Like actually criminal. Every bite had me ascending like a TikTok food review in 4K. Meat so juicy I almost stood up and thanked the cow personally. The grill smoke got us smelling like seasoned warriors walking outta there but honestly worth it. Staff kept the meats coming faster than my auntie asking why I'm still single. And let me put y'all onto some elite Chinese vocabulary real quick: "好吃到舔手指" (hǎo chī dào tiǎn shǒu zhǐ) = "so good you lick your fingers." That's EXACTLY the vibe. Finger-licking good fr fr. YakiniQ got me fighting for my life, unbuttoning my pants in the parking lot, and already planning my return. 10/10. No crumbs left. Their "Red Hot" peanut sauce is the carry here - no doubt. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards!

Came here last night to celebrate a friend's birthday. Had poor experiences at the Livermore…read morelocation in the past, so wasnt really expecting much from this spot either. Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward. We were all cramped waiting on the stairway and the actual seating area is also fairly small for a busy KBBQ place/big parties. The 8 of us squeezed into a booth with 2 chairs on the side. You can also feel whenever the table next to us got up and stomped/yelled/moved in their chairs-- which was really often. The basic AYCE menu is fairly limited-- esp for the side options. The marinated meats were pretty good as was the tteokbokki. Side & meat portions were alright, but the kicker is having to flag down staff to make sure they put in the order & bring it out. We asked for japchae about 5 times before it actually reached our table towards the end of our meal. The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle. We didnt notice that he had actually charged us for 2 and comped/subtracted a "third" one. So none were really comped at all. I just realized after we paid and that felt really sketchy. Idk if it's worth coming back here.
