BYOB
Rob D.

Went here with friends on a Saturday night. They don't take reservations but the wait wasn't too bad. We opted for barbecue only. It's BYOB. The options and service were pretty good the buffet for sides and sauces was decent as well. Only drawn back was it gets very smoky in there and be prepared for clothing etc to have that cooking area smell. I recommend leaving jackets in the car no coat check plus will save your coat from needing to be cleaned. Definitely holds its own as this style spot

Wowzaaaa hotpotttt wowzaaa! We almost did both, but it only means we HAVE to go back to do the bbq next. It was absolutely freezing out and we were delighted to hit this as a new date night spot (double date with the sister!). Firstly, I love that this place has tables and life to it during a random Tuesday evening. There's honestly nothing worse as toddler parents and paying for a sitter to go out and the place is dead where you feel obligated (if not forced) to rush. Not the case here! We even shut the place down and again, we're not rushed. The service was super helpful. We inquired about how it all worked, naturally, but even with understanding the different broths. It was an experience both at the same time casual yet elevated. Lots of families here but the way it's situated it was just adding to the vibes (I know KIDS !? I think it's the way the sound travels with the high ceilings, it just feels bustling rather than chaotic). Anyway, the food was absolutely fresh, the service was top notch and friendly. It is BYOB. It was one of the better date nights we've had in awhile. We'll be back FOR SURE.

My family came here for lunch on a Saturday for all you can eat barbecue and Hot Pot and we had such a great experience. Our server Jacob was so attentive and so nice and really took care of us. The quality of their meats are great. Everything is seasoned and marinated very authentically to the Korean barbecue taste. And all the ingredients came out fresh and in the perfect portion sizes. They even have a small hot foods bar that provided fried rice, some appetizers, and a little fruit bar with fresh fruit and delicious jello. Everything is so clean and spacious inside and really great for groups.

Yummy hot pot spot on 46! Stopped here with the family for a Sunday night dinner. We were seated right away. If you're coming down 46 East you need to make sure you're in that right lane because that parking lot entrance sneak up on you. We did the hot pot + BBQ combo. They had soo many sauces and a solid amount of apps in the buffet (crab Rangoon, dumplings, fried rice, stir fry noodles etc). They did not change out our hot plate at all though which was odd. Overall great food - lots of options, good service & a great spot to bring the kids to cook their own food lol

The place is spacious and clean. There are so many options that everyone will leave satisfied. There's a small buffet area available with dessert, seasonings/ dipping sauce, and other sides. The food was very good and they have both bbq and hot pot options. The server provided excellent service, she was very attentive and friendly. This was one of the most affordable bbq/ hot pot places I've been to.

I came on a friday night for dinner with a friend. I love hot pot & bbq so I was excited to try this new place. The decor inside were really cute. There's a bunch of lanterns all around the restaurant. There is also this giant drum at the entrance when you come in. It was a little busy but that's to be expected on a friday night. There was a 20 minute wait but as soon as we got seated and ordered, everything came out really fast. The staff was really nice. The server gave us some good suggestions. I was seated by the boba bar, and I got to see how they make their boba teas. Since their teas were very popular, I decided to try one. I got the green apple Green Tea with green apple jelly and it was delicious. We decided to do hot pot and as my base, I got the thai tom yum broth. It was perfect for this cold weather. It had a little kick to it but it's not overly spicy. I also made sure to try their hot appetizer bar. It had shumai, crab wonton, lo mein, fried rice, fried dumplings, assorted sauces, salads and desserts. They also have a freezer with little ice creams in it (can only eat them if you're dining in, not for takeout). It has a large parking lot so you should be good with parking. Overall great experience and I would definitely go back.

PROS: the staff is nice, prices were good, loads of parking, they take reservations, atmosphere was typical CONS: the server doesn't cook for you like other Korean bbq places do. They put everyone's food all over the table instead of putting the food you ordered in front of you. When they brought the meat there was no label as to which meat was what OVERALL: not the place I would go to again in regards to Korean bbq. They need to shape up before I go back

Bunny L.

The place was phenomenal, it's absolutely beautiful inside and the people were all so nice and attentive to us. The food was delicious in every aspect, normally hot pot and BBQ places have good and bad qualities but I couldn't find anything to complain about with this one plus they were very clean and organized as well. We will definitely be coming back here and whole heartedly recommend anyone else to give them a try as well if you're in the area. We paid 35$ per person for both hot pot and KBBQ and it was well worth it.

Let me start by saying that if I went for dinner my review would have been different. I went for lunch after golf. While they do have a none- hotpot/BBQ menu for lunch, they only have one price for hot pot/ BBQ. I'm a younger senior, and maybe what people pay for lunch these days is not what I'm used to but $33.99 for lunch is a bit over the top. They say you get 2 hours of all you can eat, but who has 2 hours for lunch? I had a piece of steak which was chewy even cooked rare, and fatty. And you would think that $34 lunch would include a beverage? Nope $3 for a diet Pepsi. (Really). The veg I ordered looked fresh and were good. The second meat I had was spicy pork belly and that was really good. With that I grilled some pineapple. Was disappointed that it was canned pineapple. I think they need to improve the quality of the ingredients for a $34 lunch. With tip, my bill for lunch was $43 and change. I'm glad my wife had an appointment after golf!

Split review: High marks for food quality, variety and value. The place is very clean. The experience, especially as a first timer, can range from confusing to potentially dangerous without a well-informed/engaged server. Our server was nice but offered no guidance at all. The grill part was easy enough to figure out but we didn't have the hot pot warmers on correctly, we asked and she pushed a button on one then walked away. We were not at all confident that the raw seafood in the hot pot was cooked properly and in fact as we were leaving, we saw other tables with boiling pots (using the heating element properly) we were quite concerned that we had potentially consumed undercooked seafood. Moreover, the beef and butter broth I ordered indicated a level 2 spicy on the menu (tiny font which I missed-my fault) but this spice level was beyond!!! Holy cow! Perhaps just a quick confirmation from the server would be prudent before serving that amount of spice. The meal was over for me at that point. A minimal amount of support from the server would have gone a very long way in enhancing the experience.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: let it be known that this place has amazing chicken wings. That is all.

Veggies for soup and other stuff

This place is great. You're greeted with hanging I think they're Chinese lamps and huge wooden decor and other really nice Asian artwork. You have 3 choices, soup, bbq. Or soup and bbq. Everyone in your party has to have the same choices. You get to choose from a variety of meats and vegetables which you can grill on a grill in front of you or cook in the broth boiling infront of you. I love being able to make my own sauce with all the choices available in the sauce bar. You're not rushed to eat. It's an all you can eat. For Dessert the lychee is plump and juicy. There are different slushiest to drink. The wait staff are all friendly It was a good experience. The bathroom was clean.

Peach green tea with boba
James M.

Great Korean bbq place! The food was amazing, the salad/appetizer bar was fully stocked and had lots of different varieties of food. The drink was my favorite. It's was so refreshing and not too sweet!! The bobas were a plus. Our server Grant was amazing! He was so friendly and kept checking up on us. He was great!

Delicious!

It leans more towards a social, all-you-can-eat experience than quiet dinner. This was my first hot pot experience so to be fair I don't have anything to compare it to-- but I was genuinely impressed by both the quality and the quantity of the food. The selection is huge: meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, dumplings... Everything looked fresh. Also the broth selection is a highlight-- clean, flavorful and customizable depending on your mood (light, spicy or rich). That said, it is a little overwhelming at first, if you've never done hot pot before. Building your whole meal from scratch with so many options can feel a bit confusing. But once you get the hang of it, it actually becomes part of the fun. The staff were helpful and polite. They explain the process well for first-timers. Don't skip the mango sorbet!

This is definitely up there, especially if you're a veggie lover. They have a seemingly endless array of vegetables/fish balls/seafood neatly displayed against a brightly lit wall, as if in a grocery store. Everything is so neatly organized, labeled, and overall put together. So so so many options for making your own sauce, which I love. I also have a slight preference for personal pots to communal pots at this point, and this place offers the former. Another plus! They're a little lacking on nice dessert options but I count that as a plus, tbh. They have pricing tiers where you can do a much cheaper ayce option for just the veggies/seafood and add on meats a la carte. Service is great and I appreciated the endless broth refills (refills of actual broth you've ordered, not just hot water or generic broth refill -- also a plus!)

We used the grill to cook our onions, peppers and more garlic cloves with garlic shrimp, beef bulgogi, short ribs, steak and I tried the beef tongue. I couldn't remember how my grandmother made it but putting it directly on the grill wasn't it... lol! I will try again after looking up a few recipes! The staff there is awesome and very helpful. I went with a friend who K-Pots frequently so she was mainly fixing ours and showing me the ropes and adding my choices on request; basically showing me what and how to prepare. We chose the dinner option during lunch hours to get premium meats. Our server was always coming to make sure we were ok and I wish I could remember her name now. So sorry! I have to say I enjoyed the entire experience; ambience of the lighting, music, table setup, staff, and there was an anime event they were preparing for!

Things they have dropped: service, big time. Amount of different meats available. Salads disappeared. Things that have improved: none. By the time I figured how to operate gas oven to my liking - every server passing by had a duty to put it down. Like 10 times over the course of an hour. Medium heat does not allows to cook meat fast enough to my taste. Sorry, I like things well done Sake was decent, and presented a good value, so extra star for this. Drink orders were fast, which I like for sure. When I ordered more than 5 plates at a time - only 5 would come out. And guess what? They would keep the best dishes, they would simply disappear from the delivery, yet still visible on the order. Countermeasure: order 3 saucers worth of whatever you like, and wait for them to arrive. Oysters and spicy port are worth noting. Again, between service, food choices and price - I will be going somewhere else.

A few of us had been talking about trying it for a while, and it totally lived up to the hype.

We picked a broth and then ordered a bunch of meats, vegetables, and noodles to share.

It's the kind of place where you end up trying a little bit of everything, and it's perfect for a group because everyone can customize their own bites.
