We had dinner there last week and loved it The atmosphere was great Our server Sarah was wonderful and very helpful helping us navigate the options And the food was plentiful (more than plentiful!)and excellent. It came out fast and furious and we loved all of it. We also met the chef and the owner and everyone was wonderful. We'll be regulars there and would highly recommend it! read more

My friend and I came in on a Friday night around diner time and neither of us had done Korean BBQ before so we were hoping to ask our server about what was best. The service was a little distant - like we tried to ask for recommendations and guidance and it was awkward. We were able to figure it out though. I'm not sure who our server was because 3 people were kinda helping us but wouldn't say anything or verbally check in. Other than the weirdness there - the food was good quality and quantity for what we paid which was exciting! I was nervous we were going to break the bank but we each got a single serving of the meat options and a side dish and it was plenty of food. The vibes were okay - it was fun to cook our food and we crossed our fingers were where doing it right. read more

Food was fine, I was underwhelmed however if the service had been better I think we would've enjoyed the food more. It was our first time here and Mikila was our server. We told her more than once we've never been to place like this. After asking several questions because she was hard to get any information out of, our meat arrived and we sat for several minutes because we didn't know what to do. No stove was on and there was multiple cooking utensils different colors that probably served a purpose but we were never told. After a couple Minutes we asked a bus boy to come light our stove which he did and walked away still giving no instructions. So we threw the meat on and ate it. They brought out a couple sample appetizers which we were also given no instructions but asked and was very minimal info which is very odd to be eating six foreign food and have no clue as to what it was. Ambiance was nice and I was excited to have a fun date doing something different but meet frustrated with our experience and I desire to come back. Our server had minimal service , how ever she was very nice. But at a place like this you need someone who's gonna be more clear on instructions and food items! And set you up to actually have a good cooking experience. I would not come back! read more

Food tasted great and service was great. We were a group of 8 and came after a 8 mile hike so we were starving. Pretty good for the price. Would def recommend and would come back if we are back in the area. read more

Service was wonderful. The waiter was very kind, attentive and helpful. Ambience was nice, it was clean, nicely decorated. The food was yummy overall. It came out very quick. There were a lot of options for meat. The picture of the shrimp was deshelled but they brought out whole shrimp which was disappointing. They didn't serve kimchi and other sides unless asked. Their sauce option was extremely limited so I felt like a lot of my food was dry. Their ram-don dish was very bland. Their fried chicken was rock hard and had very little meat inside. Overall it was a good experience! I do prefer other kbbqs in the area more though! read more

Was a fantastic meal for a Christmas dinner. Service was great, our waiter was quick and efficient. Love coming here. Even when they are busy you typically only have a ten min wait. The food is so good, I would suggest the Koe beef. The portions are well sized and always very fresh... thanks all read more

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. read more

KOU - Lunch Box - Korean Near Me - Orem, Utah

I'm glad there's a Korean BBQ place that has the option to not order all you can eat. You can order the dishes by the plate so you don't have to over order or over eat. My mom, sister, & I ate plenty of food for $40 total bill rather than $30-$40 per person. Good food and good service. Highly recommend beef short ribs and beef bigogi. The tofu soup and salad was a miss. I don't recommend ordering that. read more

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! read more

Second time here and definitely not disappointed. All of the meat is fresh and good quality. Absolutely loved the appetizers specially the goyza and Korean fried chicken . We opted for all beef choices and one shrimp selection and all were delicious. For $39 a person you do get a lot of food so go hungry. They do have a time limit of an hour and half which is kind of annoying because the staff is a little on the slow side. The first time we went we waited nearly fifteen minutes before anyone showed up and we had no clue what was going on. There are no menus, you just scan the code on the table. You also don't have to choose all you can eat, they do offer other options. Lunch time is $35 per person, same menu options. I did enjoy the food and the whole experience but I was a little disappointed with the staff. You don't get that warm fuzzy feeling. I also wished they would tell you what each dish was in case you wanted to order more, all raw meat looks the same to me. I would definitely go back and absolutely recommend this place . read more

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! read more

Service was fabulous. We ordered the all you can eat, and our server kept it coming at just the right intervals. Food was amazing. We'll definitely be back and bring friends! read more

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. read more

We loved being able to cook our food on the grill. The food was delicious and the service is amazing.

I would like to star by saying that the services was fantastic. The options for meats was amazing. There was something for everyone in our family. I really liked the spicy pork bulkogi and the side pork. My children loved the beef bulkogi and my husband liked the rib eye. The ambience could have been a little more inviting perhaps with some K-pop playing on the background; otherwise, it was clean and comfortable. read more

I really really like this place. The KOU beef and the galbi are honestly the best meats by far. They are by far the best options and all I order when it comes to those meats. Definitely worth checking out and never busy. read more

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!! read more

Okay- this place was AWESOME! Best service ever, Alan seriously killed it- he even scored me this tiramisu from the bakery before the Friday night dinner rush came through. It was so declious- but I don't think my husband will let me have this $40 slice of tiramisu again! Everything else was well priced and delicious and the vibe was great. Everyone was on top of it. read more

This place is so tasty, came in for lunch and got a bulgogi and spicy chicken box, good price and really nice quality. The manager/host was very nice and helped me figure out what to order. Going to come back for all you can eat soon. 10/10. Also the atmosphere is clean and nice. read more

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

The food was just okay. The service so-so! What I didn't appreciate is that they basically require you to pay a 19.5% tip! I get it if you're there with a large party of 10+ people, but there were only five adults in our party! In addition, when you get the receipt to sign - lo and behold - there's still a line for a tip! I wonder how many people end up paying a tip twice! The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't ever eat there again! There are MUCH better Korean BBQ restaurants around! read more

First time at a Korean BBQ and it did not disappoint! Our server Sara was so helpful and sweet, but best of all, everything she suggested was delicious! Will be sure to come back soon! read more

The most amazing service. It actually felt like they were genuinely happy to welcome us , which is always refreshing. Went in for lunch with my family and were greeted right away and shown to our tables. The food was delicious, super flavorful. This was the first time I've had garlic pork belly, yum! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for hot delicious food, a clean, spacious, and open restaurant with great customer service. I've visited the Murray location at the same time of day, service was not as friendly or natural, but food was still great there too! read more

We went to KOU BBQ Orem today. Brandon the server was excellent as usual. We told Brandon to inform the kitchen to cook the ramdon dryer which it was better than before. It still has room for improvement. The service was timely and delightful. When we asked for the preserved daikon that has no additional spices, Brandon went to get us some. The restaurant ambiance was great for Korean bbq. The branch manager, Jun, is as usual very cordial and friendly. We loves the different types of steaks, kalbi ribs, canjun belly pork, shrimps, calamari, spicy baby squids, spicy porks and the cow tongues. read more

Friendly staff. Good service. Delicious food! The wait staff was super attentive! I really loved kou steak!

Everything was great! My server Kara was so sweet. The food and drinks were all awesome.

Good food, fun experience. I definitely want to go back. Delicious and you can pick what you like and cook at your own table.

Great food and service. Food was fresh and tasty! Thank you for having us. Alan was great.

If you have never been to Korean BBQ I would recommend coming here. The food was very good, and it came to the table quick! Alan was our waiter and he was very sweet, and helpful with helping us understanding what everything was. Always making sure we had everything we wanted/needed. The place was very clean, and it was overall a great experience! read more

Amazing food, great portions, and service by Kara was top notch. One of the better Korean BBQ spots in Utah!

Awesome food and service at the Orem location! Just opened up and it's delicious! Just like the Midvale location
