    Tteokbokki... but kinda not? Wouldn't recommend this specific appetizer. Price for this was also crazy.
    Haru S.

    Update since my last review a few months ago... We came on a weekday night, so even though there weren't a lot of guests, it was a bit understaffed. We waited a bit before someone came to the counter to set us up with a clean table. Staff are friendly as always. The seats were oily though, and I had to use a napkin to clean off the surface and remove an old piece of meat sticking to it. It's a little dark inside, so just check your surroundings before putting your stuff down. Overall food was good. Again, banchan is a bit bland and if you want hot tea or water, you have to ask for it. If you expect to compare this to other "more authentic" Korean BBQ places, don't. You won't find hot barley tea or anything here. Just treat this as a nice local experience. Staff here were kind to bring us hot water for older guests who are used to drinking hot beverages. Bring your own tea to steep if you want something other than Lipton. Definitely much more chill on the weekdays! Enjoyed dinner with my family. Thanks for having us :)

    Did a group dinner to try it out. In general I like the place. I think we allowed ourselves to eat at a little faster pace than I would prefer and I would try a broader range of proteins next time. There was a bit of a language barrier with the server- not bad just a bit harder to communicate effectively. I don't think there is an option for barbecue of this caliber anywhere close to the Exton area. Worth a visit .

    Literally made reservation in front of the guy and said still have to wait.

    Restaurant is empty. Told it's a half hour wait. I literally show him OpenTable and every single slot is open. The guy at the front then says still have to wait. I look into the dining room. No people at all more than half the table are empty. What the heck kind of customer service is this?? Absurd. Let's see how the meal goes Literally made reservation in front of the guy and said ok I have a reservation. He's like no. I can't seat you still. Have to wait.

    The O2 of PA. One of the better kbbq spots has finally landed in the neighborhood. The food is good as expected. All the cuts of meat from the beef brisket to marinated beef (kalbi) all on point. You can't go wrong with any cuts. The service is still working progress. It's weird to be ordering in English though... I'm used to ordering everything in Korean to the server so my brain fogged up. The place is newly renovated so nice and clean. The air is a bit stifling with smoke; kinda hope they had better ventilation system. Make sure you don't bring anything in that you do not want smelling like meat smoke. The major differences between this location and the other two: The grill is not the signature round black cast iron lid. It's the classic small one so surface area for cooking is a bit smaller The other is the portions that they bring out. I think this is also part of the working progress of understanding how portions work. For example; I am a beef brisket fiend. I asked for like 8 servings from the get go but.. they just looked at me confused. Could be a portion control thing but, my fat butt knows what it wants so kinda hoped they just gave me everything at once so I didn't have to bother them over and over again. I'm actually trying to do them a favor if you think about it... Overall; great. I love that this is within reach now. I am going to be broke and fat(ter)

    To be completely honest I had mentally set a pretty low bar as most ayce korean bbq places are subpar at best but O2 pleasantly surprised me. We went her (koreans) for my mothers birthday and enjoyed most of the flavors and meats. Would be happy to return. Our server was a bit blunt but it did not ruin the experience.

    Meat choices

    This was our first Korean bbq and it was so delicious. The service was above and beyond helping us grill and cut our food. Inside and out was very clean and decorated nicely. I really enjoyed this place the drinks were so good.We chose to do the all you can eat so we tried a little bit of everything. The marinated steak was my favorite meat choice. This was definitely a fun place to have lunch I can't wait to go back.

    More like 3.5 stars. I was there for lunch today. Overall, it's a decent dining experience, but nothing makes you "wow". Service is friendly and attentive, restaurant ambience is upbeat, meat choice is okay for the price range. What I don't like is: 1) side soup is nothing like what it says on the menu--I ordered "beef soup" and there's ZERO beef in my soup, only several thin slices of turnip; 2) the side "steamed egg" is too salty; 3) marinated meat and chicken are drowning in the sauce so the flavor is overwhelmingly tangy; 4) ventilation is weak so my clothes smelled "greasy" after I finished lunch. It's worth trying if you're nearby, but I don't think I'll make another trip for it.

    Beef Beef Thin Brisket and Beef Bulgogi
    Jennifer C.

    Restaurant atmosphere was so cool and very spacious. All the servers were nice and friendly (I guess they serve all tables together). I had a high expectation coming in so I was a bit disappointed with the meat quality. We had .. -Beef- Hanging tender Marinated steak Galbi steak Brisket Bulgogi -Pork- Spicy pork belly Pork skin And...the only thing that was really good was "Marinated steak" for me. Everything else (meat-wise) was not good. Their side dishes were amazing and so as Bean paste soup & Spicy tofu soup. We'd just order Marinated Steak only next time.

    Really wonderful new place!! We heard they opened and we just HAD to check it out. We loved every minute of it. We went around 12 pm and were the only guests at first so we had very fast service. The staff are seriously the nicest people you'll ever meet and do a lot of the cooking themselves and teach you how to do it yourself. You can add sides, request for more, and basically make any kind of concoction you want. They also must have updated their "beef soup" recipe because ours had beef and veggies in it and was really good! Loved the chill and modern interior too, the layout is incredible and they have so much space. We will definitely be back for more!! We can't wait for the entrees that will hopefully be available this week too :))

    I met a friend here for happy hour. It was my first time. I had been to the previous establishment,…read morethe Ship Inn, several times. When I first drove up, I didn't not immediately recognize it as the former Ship Inn because the traffic pattern at the intersection was different and the building looked more updated. The interior was spacious. My friend was at the bar where we sat the entire time. Since my friend was a regular, he knew the bar tender, Morgan. He vouched for her Old Fashioned which just happened to be what I had planned to order. The Old Fashioned was good. She made it with Evan Williams Bourbon. It had a good blend so that it was not too sweet, too bitter or overpowered by the bourbon. My friend ordered Garlic Parmesan wings which he seemed to enjoy. We sat talking for a couple of hours and never felt rushed. The vibe at the bar was friendly as folks came in and out for drinks. I will go back and check out the restaurant next time.

    Went on a Saturday night and honestly had a great time. Calamari appetizer was super lightly…read morebreaded and crispy, and the green sauce (herby/creamy) was awesome! I had a pizza, which was thin-crust, had flavorful sauce, and a solid cheese-sauce ratio. I would've finished the whole thing if it wasn't for the beer flights! I had two flights and each of the beers I tried I would order again. They're named nautically which made ordering them honestly fun. Wait staff was friendly and timely, so much so that I'm already planning a return! I will say that many tables were empty so it was a bit easier to serve us, but I hope in the future VK gets more business. Good people, good food, great beer.

    This gastropub definitely leans towards the pub in a big way, but that is part of the charm…read more Friendly staff enjoys engaging with customers. Food is top of the spectrum for the style. Kind of an Asian fusion menu, with curries and bowls available as vegetarian or with meats, as well as burgers and sandwiches. Fries are real, flavorful and a highlight. Finally the tap selection is tremendous with a mix of local and quality craft selections. Don't be surprised to see some hard to find selections on the chalkboard.

    Stopped by for dinner and a beer in the Bottle Room, which shares its kitchen with Station Taproom…read more(and doesn't seem to have its own page). We made the trek up from Wilmington after seeing that the Bottle Room's tap list included a unique beer from a Knoxville brewery that we'd loved at a beer fest but had never found in our area since (Xul's PBJ Mixtape sour beer, a delicious and mind-blowing sour that somehow genuinely tastes like peanut butter, grape jelly, and white bread!). Props to Bottle Room for sourcing from both local microbreweries, but also from other delicious breweries around the country! Since our goal was beer, we hadn't put much thought into the food, so we were very nicely surprised that every bite was delicious, and we're already scheming which of our PA friends might want to meet us there in the future. We started with their tuna tostada special --- won ton chips with tuna poke, edamame, avocado, and some sort of wasabi dressing. This was challenging to eat, but absolutely worth the mess. Husband ordered their smash burger with truffle fries, which was a very solid and flavorful burger, and the truffle fries had excellent texture and flavor. I opted for their Ratatouille special, which offered the usual vegetable medley served over zucchini bread (a unique touch!) with burrata. The zucchini bread was a little bit sweet and a little soft, but the overall flavors came together nicely. We were happy to learn they offer crowlers as well, so you can take your favorite beers to go!
