    The food is here is really good. The staff are very polite. Good ambiance and very clean. The kimchee is very good as well. We really enjoyed eating at this barbecue place and we are looking forward to eat at this place again. Highly recommended the place for people who wants to have eat all you can Korean barbecue.

    When KBBQ doesn't "hit". I'm a huge fan of kbbq so it's not like this is a first timer review. Dinner for two here is between $150-$200 depending on what you get. First, the good: the servers offer to change the grills out frequently and that is needed because they get nasty fast here. The seating situation is not bad either, the place is big and open. The beef belly and pork belly were pretty good. The meh: The banchans were hit or miss. Some where tasty and others felt kinda flat, bland, or lower quality. The fresh water eel had a weird consistency but tasted good. The not great: Paying $23 more on top of the AYCE price for ribeye that doesn't taste the best. It kinda looked like they were passing short rib off as ribeye to be honest. The bad: A lot of the meats had unnatural consistency from the over use of tenderizer. The salmon had a weird orange color and tasted awful. There were only a few banchans offered. Usually when paying $150+ I'd expect better sides. I felt like the low quality meat for the price would be the only reason I wouldn't bother to come back.

    Y'all, I love me some Korean BBQ! And this is one of my favorite locations. Not only is the food super delicious, The staff is super friendly. I've dined in here several times and I've ordered Uber eats several times and now I'm ordering takeout for the first time. You just walk in up to the counter, You're always greeted quickly and with a friendly face. Place your order, have a seat and the food comes out within 10 minutes or so. On this visit, I was given a complimentary glass of their cinnamon tea to enjoy while I waited on the food. It was good, But it was strong cinnamon and sweet. I love the barley tea, It's mild and has good health benefits. Anywho, I always order the japchae appetizer. You get so much and it is absolutely delicious. You can tell that they make it fresh. I also love their house salad, also very fresh and such great flavor in the dressing. For to go We ordered the LA galbi and chicken teriyaki, both come with bonchon and rice. You get so much food. I love all of their bonchon!! For dine-in, They have so many tables available, And they do a really good job keeping the table cooking smoke in check. So when you walk in you don't smell burnt food or cooked food or smoke. I definitely recommend this Korean BBQ location. It's one of our faves and we'll go back again and again and again!!!

    I don't get the hype of these places tbh. They are expensive, you have to cook all the food yourself, and when the middle burner is just getting hot enough, the employees want to take it to be cleaned. The food was good but I felt wasn't amazing or anything to write home about and the service was a little strange with the almost unnecessary amount of employees that asked if we were okay. Just lemme eat! Overall, not bad, but probably won't go again. If it's your thing you'll probably like it but it's a no for me dawg.

    This place nails it every time and today was exceptional! The service from start to finish was so attentive. It was very busy and they still came to our table and made sure that our grill was replaced frequently, our sauces were filled, and our drinks were replaced. I've never had such fast and attentive service here, it really was a game changer. This spot is already a bop but after tonight this is going to be one of my favs. I hope they keep it up with the great food and service!

    We have been two times and each time the experience has been great! I love the robot that brings your dishes over. The servers are always helpful and pleasant. I brought my niece to try it out and she loved the bulgogi while I savored the LA ribs. So good! I usually like to be strategic and eat meat however I wanted to try the soup so we ordered the soybean paste soup to try. It was ok and the steamed egg was ok. Be sure to try the different meats. Parking can be difficult at times. It's a busy area and for some reason they drew the parking spots narrow so you will see vehicles taking up two spots. That won't stop us from coming back.

    Cheese corn

    Loved this place! It's so fun to find great Korean food. This place is nice because you can select the all you can eat BBQ or the entree options. I love myself an all you can eat Korean BBQ spot, but this time I went for something a little bit different and I tried the bibimbap. We absolutely loved the banchan, it tasted really good. The cheese corn was also a winner. This place can accommodate so many people, it's huge! It's located in a nice spot with a lot of Asian stores near by. I can't wait to come again!

    My first Kbbq since moving to Austin and I was not disappointed! I have had so many options living in Southern California and I wasn't sure how Austin's selection would be but I was delightfully surprised! Came at 7pm on a Saturday with no wait. Seated immediately and ordered the premium AYCE menu. Ordered wagyu brisket, prime rib, and ribeye for first round. The meat came via robot servers which was awesome. Servers were very attentive to taking orders, refills, and changing grills. Every meat was delicious as well as all the sides. Will definitely bring my guests here when they come to visit!

    This is by far one of the best KBBQ place I've ever been to! Super clean and the staff is incredible attentive. Next time I'm in Austin, I'm coming back

    We ended up in our new favorite Lamar strip mall -- we've been enjoying sampling all the different cuisines and stores here over the past few months -- and decided to try out K BBQ. Didn't know what to expect -- I'd only been to a Korean BBQ restaurant once before. We happened to be there for all-you-can-eat, which seemed like a decent deal, though my husband and I both knew we wouldn't be able to eat much. I recommend trying the cheese corn, and the bulgogi was my favorite. The service wasn't the best, but we did love the robots. I saw one celebrating someone's birthday, which seems like it would be a fun idea. I saw conflicting information on Yelp on whether you could take food home or not. One review said you could take cooked food -- and the menu said you get charged if it's over a certain weight. We had very little meat left, but we didn't want it to go to waste ... we asked our server for a to-go box, and he said, "We don't do to-go, and if I had seen this before I ran your check, I would have charged you." So ... charged us for food we couldn't take home? It doesn't really make sense. Just be aware.

We ate lightly as we were heading to a dinner holiday party. The appetizers were absolutely delicious. I got to speak with Chef Manny and and Carina, the general manager to gain some insights about the business. Mexican Cocina is based on the cooking method and seasonings. The foods can be cooked over fire, oven or in the stove. Their unique value proposition is that you can choose your seafood from the case and the restaurant staff prepares the food to your liking. The restaurant is very large with different size rooms for rental. For large party rentals the spend minimum is $1000 and during the week it is $800.

The bartender was very friendly and attentive to us but the food was very disappointing. We started with the ceviche tropical, which is consists of shrimp and fruit/veggies. It was very underseasoned and did not seem to be well marinated. Moreover, the dish had a fishiness to it that was a turnoff. The chips served with the ceviche had oil collecting on them (see photo). I've had good ceviche in the U.S. and Mexico and this was not it. The main entree was the Tacos Nayarit (fish tacos). The portions of fish were microscopic and also lacked flavor. The Spanish rice served on the side was the worst I've had in a restaurant. It was wet, old and gummy (see photo). The black beans didn't taste bad but they were superheated as if they were warmed in a microwave. Overall, the food was pretty horrible. So very sad as I was hoping to find a good Mexican seafood option in Austin. I was told that this restaurant is owned by the same folks that operate Casa Chapala, where I have had great experiences. Hopefully this place will improve over time.
