    Cupbop on steroids. Spicy pork is my favorite. The beef bulgogi is also a good option if you want to avoid the spice. The meat is tender and well seasoned. Lunch Combo is GOATed and has a lot of food for a guy who's bulking like me.

    Great food and service! The Galbi and beef tongue was really good and the food came out quickly. The owner was very nice and even gave us some bakery goods to go!

    Great evening at KOU, so glad they opened this location in Orem! The quality of food was great, and so was the service! Everything came out so quickly, and our server Brandon was really patient and fun with us! Also they had a great student discount for this month, so that definitely made it a pleasant surprise for me and my friends! It was bright and clean inside, with a very cool layout. I hope that this place gets the hype that the Murray location does!

    I had higher expectations. The cuts of meat were solid three stars-but definitely behind the quality of two other nearby Korean BBQ restaurants. The bulgogi and Hawaiian steak were high points. For having Korean ownership the kimchi was really disappointing and a low point and the soondubu was frankly terrible. The service was really friendly and the ambiance was great.

    Went for my birthday and honestly loved this place! Trying new spots is so scary in Utah bc most are a miss but this was place was so good!! The host was quick to get us sat on a Friday night and we were greeted by our server pretty quick too! The food was really good quality and sides were 10/10! Wasn't a fan of the fried chicken but everything else was so good! Loved that the manager or owner was going around also checking up on tables and making sure we were good! Great service! Definitely recommend!!

    This Korean cook-it-at-the-table restaurant is so delicious. I like the lamb, sirloin, and pork. It's a fun family experience!

    We keep going back with family and friends! It's perfect when you don't know what they like to eat…read more It is a place of choice in fresh and healthy items. My wife (who is a picky eater) loves Mr. Shani for lunch or dinner for just the two of us or a group, and she's willing to pick up the tab!

    Very disappointing experience…read more I recently took my 8-year-old nephew to dinner and was shocked to receive an $82 bill. We were charged as two adults, despite no one ever asking my nephew's age. Had the staff asked, the mistake could have been avoided entirely. What made the situation worse was what happened afterward. Once we paid, the employee who processed our bill repeatedly pressured us to leave a tip. I declined because the bill was already much higher than expected, and she seemed visibly unhappy with that response. When we later called to discuss the overcharge, we were told that it was our responsibility to inform the waiter of my nephew's age. No apology was offered, no refund was provided, and no attempt was made to resolve the issue. We were simply told to send an email. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we have been overcharged at this restaurant. Mistakes can happen, but the complete lack of accountability, customer service, and willingness to make things right is what was most disappointing. Customers should not have to argue over incorrect charges, nor should they feel pressured to leave a tip. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment.
