    Outside of restaurant

    Girls night decided to give this place another try and I'm kind of happy we did as they've changed a few things. It's almost like they actually read my review! The robot was gone or at least it didn't make an appearance this time around. Our sweet server not only lit our fire from the beginning this time but she came and changed out our burner often. I'm guessing she does that so the place doesn't fill with smoke from burning up old juices left behind on the burners? She was also way more attentive this time around coming by and changing out our drinks often. The buffet table was still good but I really wish they'd tag all of the items so I'd know what each dish was. This time I ate the cold broccoli, the clear noodles, and the rice all was great. As for the meats, this time we tried the bulgogi, the brisket, the spicy marinated chicken, and the short ribs. I wasn't a fan of the chicken. I can't put my finger on what type of chili they used but it had a weird taste. The brisket once cooked looked like that packaged frozen beef named Steakumms you can buy in the freezer section of most stores. The bulgogi was delicious but I believe that's because it's marinated so it has flavor. The brisket has no seasoning and all they have on the table is salt and pepper to season the meat so I suggest getting a meat that's already marinated for better flavor. This is a cool spot to come if you're looking for a nice date or something as it's different than just going out to dinner. But be careful because It's also pretty hot in this restaurant with all the cooking going on and for whatever reason they don't turn on the vents to get some of the hot air out. I would not come in the summertime unless you want to sweat all of your makeup off.

    I was a little nervous to come here because of the lower rating but sometimes gems don't get the best love! This place is definitely a gem. We went for lunch which is 28.99 a person. We were sat quickly, drink orders taken quickly, and she was very attentive to be ready when we were ready to order meat. I like that all the sides are buffet style. It means you get the sides you want and don't waste ones you won't eat. It's also nice to see all the options as some places don't list what they offer and you don't find out til a friend mentions it or you see it in a photo online. The selections of meats and sides was good. Meats were pretty standard styles for a KBBQ. We got bulgogi, brisket, marinated chicken, and pork belly. Bulgogi was my fave with pork belly being my second. I really enjoyed everything plus good service so will definitely be back!

    Don't waste your money. Soooo bad. It's like the only spot in Bakersfield that does KBBQ and it's $35 a person which is way too much for the quality. The sides are trash, the place was cold and wet and leaky from the roof, and the service was meh. The meat was alright but this is probably the worst KBBQ I've ever had and it was all I wanted after a long day of driving. Please choose something else if you're ever passing through this city.

    Food was really good finally found a all you can eat bbq in town our server was Hispanic wearing a hat backwards he was very attentive and provided really good service definitely would come again great experience overall just wish they had rice paper

    After visiting Korea, I can see the difference in KBBQ. I'm very glad to have this in Bakersfield its something we needed. As for the meats I would say the marinated meat are the best in taste, great flavor! They have a good amount of side dishes, but to make the meat not stick to the pan they're missing the chunk of fat to spread on the grill it would save a lot of cleaning. Don't be afraid they're not playing KPOP all the time, the playlist they had was great! We had a male waiter and he was very attentive. And guess what they have a robot that brings you your meat

    My family loves Korean BBQ so we decided to finally check this one out. We have been here a couple of times now. During the pandemic we were anticipating the opening of this place and then when it finally opened it didn't tickle our fancies so we weren't in a rush to check it out. I feel like this place is good for Bakersfield. Bakersfield needs more AYCE KBBQ places. Because I've had really good KBBQ places in SoCal it's hard for me not to compare it. First of all, the sides are AYCE, they don't have a wide variety of sides, but just know it's not as fresh. Maybe it was fresh in the beginning of the day, but the times we visited it was in the evenings. The sides are at a buffet like table and you serve yourself. You can tell the staff doesn't clean up this area often since there's food scattered here and there. It's not disgusting, but it does appear like most buffets. The meats seem good quality, but not top tier quality. The meats are seasoned well and they have nice sauces. I think I would continue to come back since my boys like this place, but this would not be a regular place for me. I think I would only come back if a relative or friend wanted to go check it out or if my boys wanted to come. On a plus side, they actually have a good amount of people that dine in, so that's a sign that meats are fresh. The restaurant seems old inside. The walls and crevices does not seem clean. I thought this was odd considering it's been open just a couple of years. The staff seemed nice, it's a hit and miss. Sometimes they don't check up on us as frequently and other times they are on point. I think it depends on your server. The AYCE KBBQ places in SoCal are more consistent with service. I don't know if this is a family owned business, but I hope this place thrives since we need more AYCE KBBQ places in Bakersfield.

    Food was ok, not many customers. Felt like the staff just wanted to hurry up and get me out soon, quick turnover. Won't be back soon.

    I hate to give this update but there needs to be better management and supervision. We came in…read morearound 430 in the afternoon & more than half the restaurant was vacant but the staff all seemed to be "on break" with numerous tables waiting to be bussed! The food is always 5 star, once you can get it & order... also super slow if you need anything after the initial order. The bathroom ceiling is about to cave in due to leaks, stains on the walls & the view of the kitchen was super messy, dirty floors! Please do better!! Our family loves KBBQ & try to support this establishment but it is difficult in these conditions. There is more business to be had with better staffing and attention to details To be honest there are more workers today than other times I have seen yet they have more empty tables than full ones. It's a bad use of the overhead when they have empty tables but are making people wait 30 minutes or more to be seated. While it seems like there is only 1 server, the 3-4 other people are Moving slowly for whatever their job responsibilities are. Oh another thing, how can a Korean BBQ be out of "rice paper" which has been the case the last few times we are here... the ban chan could use an upgrade as well

    The service? Amazing! Yizel was attentive and our water, sides, and rice never ran dry! She truly…read moremade the visit worth it. The food? It was not it... although, I might be to blame because maybe I didn't know how it's supposed to be seasoned with the salt and sides. Also, a little overpriced for not being AYCE. Overall, though, we weren't disappointed - again, because Yizel made it a top tier experience!
