The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

I don't want to oversell this place but I'm from LA and this place has the best kbbq I've ever had…read more Everything was great form start to finish. I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well. V fast paced environment and loud, they get your food out, and you can tell that a lot of hard work and love goes into the food. Thank y'all

The only reason it's not 5 stars is my group of 6 and a toddler waited 1 hour to get seated despite having called to make a reservation a week in advance. The host was also dismissive and kept telling us they were clearing the table which they clearly weren't. Once we were finally seated though, the food came out fast and our server/cook was very friendly and joined in on our convos. We loved everything we ordered, especially trying the clam gui and marinated duck for the first time. They make the kimchi fried rice at the end in the duck leftovers and it was so tasty! I would love to come back because the food was so tasty but maybe put ourselves on the waitlist next time since the space isn't large and you just have to get lucky with when you show up.

The soy garlic is definitely my go to, along with the galbi and japchae, and I like their popcorn cauliflower too. Theyre known for the $34 AYCE fried chicken, pork belly and beer deal for 1.5 hours, and pretty much everyone around us was doing it while we were the boring table ordering exactly what we wanted lol. I haven't done the AYCE yet, but I'll definitely be back for it. It really is a crazy good deal. I also love a spot that takes the time to serve your beer in an ice cold frosted glass. It's a small gesture, but having the right glass for the right sip makes it memorable, and I don't even really like beer lol. Boka can get pretty busy, and you can tell they're trying to move as quickly as they can, but the space is small and there's only so much room for more hands, so sometimes you wait a little. I kind of just see that as part of the vibe. Glad they're still around and the wings haven't changed.

My girlfriend and I were in the area and decided to stop by Cast Iron Pot Original for a late…read moredinner, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. 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.

So, yes, that is still the truth about AYCE ... We started out with the beef thin brisket ... thin !!! Easy to satisfy your appetite and want to devour !!!! Tried many side dishes - steamed egg, steamed dumplings, grilled vegetables, and japchae. Side dishes were good !!! Then, thin sliced pork belly - very dry. Marinated pork ribs - nicely marinated, and beef bulgogi. Bulgogi was very good and wished we had a bowl of rice to go with it, not we wanted to go easy on the carb.

The Bulgogi box had a lot to offer, but I felt like it could have had more beef. Also, the salad did not have the usual, ginger sauce. It was a salad dressing that threw me off... need that ginger sauce with Asian food to heighten that experience. 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.

I was pretty excited to try this place out because I haven't had gomtang in quite a while and the…read morefact that they have seolleongtang as well was cherry on the cake. Came on a weekday night and there weren't many people in the store. - Deluxe Gomtang - I think the difference between the normal gomtang and the deluxe version is that they give a bit more meat and rice. I really liked the gomtang as the flavors were really rich especially when elevated by the pepper. - Seolleongtang - Clear and beautiful broth that went really well with salt. I felt like the meat was not as tender as I hoped but still made me think of my favorite Korean restaurant where I grew up. - Kong-guksu - I didn't know what to expect of this dish as I've never heard of it or tried it before but I didn't really like the dish. No matter how much salt/pepper I put in, there still didn't seem to be a lot of flavor. I ended up dumping the Korean Pickled Onion banchan in which helped elevate the flavor a lot. - Mini KimchiJeon - When I read this off the menu, I though the kimchi pancake would be extremely small but it turned out to be quite bit and very delicious. It was super crispy on the outside with soft insides stuffed with kimchi. I will definitely be back to this home-y restaurant!

I was so surprised because my 20 month old is extremely picky and refuses to try new food and he absolutely loved it. Greatly recommendation from the kind waitress that recommended us the dishes.

We got the gamjatang, along with jokbal (족발) and bossam (보쌈). The gamjatang was definitely the highlight. The broth was flavorful and comforting, with plenty of vegetables and pork. If you're a fan of gamjatang, this is a really good spot for it. The jokbal and bossam both had great flavor, but the meat was a little chewier than I expected. I personally prefer both to be more tender, especially the bossam. Still tasted great, just slightly off on the texture for me. Service was probably the weakest part of the experience. It was a little difficult getting someone's attention, and we had to flag down a waiter when we needed something. Overall, the flavors were on point and I'd come back for the gamjatang. With slightly more tender pork and more attentive service, this would've easily been a 5.
