Such a great spot to go when you're craving some late night snacks. And everywhere is quickly closing. At least that's what happened in our case! They have a lot of drink options like different flavors of milkis and teas and sodas, however only one beer option. The banchan was delicious and you can get free refills. My personal favorite was the black beans! The agedashi tofu was okay. While it was good, it wasn't what I expected at all. I'm used to agedashi being made with silken tofu or at least softer tofu. But it had a spongy chew to it. The fried pork belly was good. Or the fatty pieces were good. But the meat parts were just too hard and dried out. The wings were really good though! I do wish it was a little spicier, but it was crispy and meaty and just good! And the odeng soup was really good and homey. The broth was both light and rich. But I wish it was a little more peppery. read more

My partner and I absolutely love coming to this place! Such friendly service and always going above and beyond to take care of our needs. We usually order the "Pick Two" option to try out their different meats. The Galbi (short ribs) are delicious! Would also recommend ordering the Korean Style Chicken Wings (SO GOOD)! Late night casual spot with all the k-pop you could ask for. We keep coming back! read more

Excited to be here after so long! The good news is that nothing has changed since our last visit here. The ambience is still rustic, but clean. If you are looking for good Korean food at a very reasonable price, this is where you should be . They still have their all you can eat dinners, but as I have grown older, I think the à la carte menu suits me better . We have been here a couple of times recently. Once we tried out the order you can eat and the second time around we ordered the other cut menu. Our favorites are the pork belly, the Kalbi and the spicy Pok dinner. The delicious complementary hors d'oeuvres are also a deelish . Our Silver was very attentive and pleasant, and this added up to an already great evening. . Fellow YELPERS I do recommend trying out this place and maybe we may even see you here as we will definitely be back . read more

R.O.K. - All you can eat Dinner for 3!! - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

My husband and I have been on a mission to try all the Korean BBQ places in South Florida. But that may take us a while. Anyway, we tried R.O.K. last Friday night. It's in a strip mall, so no problems with parking. The place isn't very large but it's a decent size. We got there around 7:30 (they open at 5 p.m.) and didn't have a problem getting a table. A bit later, folks were waiting. And the place seems to be run by just two people. (There may be a chef hidden in back.) And it got crowded and both servers were very rushed. Nevertheless, service was still good even if we had to raise our hands a few times to get some attention. We ordered the all you can eat BBQ with five meats: pork belly, spicy pork, beef ribs, chicken, and beef bulgogi. It's $32 each (despite what the website says) plus tax and tip. The side dishes were scant. We got kimchi (that did not look good nor taste good, as if it was from the bottom of the jar), spicy cucumbers, fish cakes, marinated bean sprouts, raw onions with soy sauce, a lettuce salad with a delicious ginger dressing, sweet black beans, white rice, and the best item of all, Korean miso soup (with tofu and zucchini). With all the Korean food we eat and have eaten (we visited Korea in 2005), I have never had this kind of soup. I thoroughly enjoyed the crunchy zucchini and the firm tofu in the hot and spicy broth. I was looking forward to more sides, maybe a pancake, and some sort of dessert? Now to the proteins. We were two people and the servers brought out 3 generously filled platters with the 5 kinds. The galbi (beef ribs) were a bit charred. The sauce on the spicy pork was chalky and the bulgogi was a tad overdone. The pork belly was done just right, but had no flavor. It seemed to lack seasoning. The chicken (also overdone) was good. It, along with the the charred galbi, were my favorites. I wonder if it would be possible to tell them how we wanted our meats cooked without sacrificing the Korean experience. We were stuffed but hubby had to have more galbi. We worried about not finishing the spicy pork and bulgogi (there is a charge for leftovers) but nothing was said, we were not charged, and we got our extra order of beef ribs. The restaurant also has an ala carte menu with lots of offerings. I think next time I may try some traditional dishes (jap chae, bi bim bap) and a seafood pancake and skip the BBQ buffet. Although, I would welcome another serving of the chicken and the Korean miso soup. But I can always order them individually from the menu. read more

Tasted exactly what I wanted it to taste like. The pancake was crispy, flavorful and not salty. Soup was deliciously well balanced, meat portion was generous and tender but still a nice bite, plenty of radish & noodles. I often cook Korean and this tasted almost exactly as I make mine. Waiter was super cool and friendly. I stepped in on a Monday so I was the only person there, but was told it gets packed. So far this has been the only Korean restaurant I've liked in the Fort Lauderdale area and when I'm not cooking it myself, I will come back here to eat. read more

Food is amazing , service is great , ambiance is super chill. Honestly best kbbq I've ever had and the best part THE FOOD IS ALREADY COOKED

The best. I'm so happy they are able to deliver via Postmates. Their food is phenomenal. I love the Galbi and the fish cakes and their Kimchi! OMG the kimchi is incredibly fresh! Wow. Definitely my top Korean restaurant. One time i ordered and i asked for no pork in my tofu soup and the owner was able to accommodate me bc she was cooking that day!!! :') what a great customer service and the man working was so sweet ! Kept calling to make sure my order was 100% correct. I order from here once a week now. read more

Came here on a rainy night. Kpop playing on the radio. Kdrama showing on TV, such a vibe. We did all you can eat basic option. It was more than enough for two. Highly recommend the chicken and spicy pork. Also the soup with tofu and zucchini is so good. We asked for fresh lettuce for extra to wrap the pork belly with. read more

oh, R.O.K, how I love you. I came back to south florida and this is one of the restaurants I wished to come back to, the pork and beef dumplings are insane, please order them, the main meal (pork belly) is a reasonable portion but IMO needs an appetizer, this time however, they added a lot!!

The food was good we had soy chicken, galbi, bulougi, and pork belly. DONT BE FOOLED THOUGH THIS IS KBBQ PLACE BUT THEY COOK THE FOOD IN THEIR KITCHEN AND BRING IT OUT TO YOU! I was quite disappointed that we weren't able to cook our own meats but I wasn't driving to another spot. Their banchan was alright. They didn't have some items due to a late delivery. The service was good they were attentive. The place set up was cozy and dimmed. Overall a nice dinner read more

R.O.K is a great late night restaurant if your a night owl like me. My favorite part about this restaurant is that they offer a combo of 2 meats for you to choose from within reasonable price. My new favorite at this place is the fried gizzards. There's this delicious light crispyness to the batter that makes them super addicting. I could eat a huge bucket of just this if they had it. The chicken karaage is flavorful and has great presentation. The only thing that I would mention is that the fishcake soup is on the salty side. I've tried their other soups before and its not really on my top places for soups or stews. But everything else is wonderful! The banchan is great.. I love all of them. I think R.O.K offers the best kimchi around the area. They have the recipe down to a T. Love the side dishes here!! Im glad that they are open late because theres not much going on around that area for late night food. So if your a night owl like me. Make sure to drop by and try their yummy dishes. read more

Of the two Korean BBQ Ayce in the area (this one and Chow One), this one was by far my favorite. Chow One looks more impressive and allows you to cook your own food, but ROK simply was just better and the service could it have been more attentive. The Kalbi was excellent as it always is, but the other selections are where they shine. The Spicy Pork, Bulgogi, and chicken were simply excellent. The pork belly was crispy but admittedly not. marinated. Even the salad had us wanting more. We were beyond full when we left and thankful we made the right choice this time. read more

ROACH INFESTATION ALERT! As much as I enjoy the midnight food here, this is officially my last time dining or ordering delivery from this restaurant. After raving about the good food to my family, I decided to bring my mom after a long day for some Bibimbap. The service was well as usual, and my mom decided to order the Bibimbap, a hot tea and some waters for the table. The food arrives, we eat, and everything was delicious until the teapot and cups arrived for the hot tea. Inside of the cup was a small German ROACH and another one crawling on the outside of the cup and onto the table. As soon as I saw that, I lost my appetite and had to leave. As much as I am understanding of certain circumstances, ROACHES are absolutely unacceptable and small German ROACHES tend to be a telltale sign of a larger infestation happening in the kitchen, the building or improper cleaning habits of the restaurant. No, it was not an outside bug or a common water bug, it was a Roach. Absolutely disgusted and embarrassed for having recommended this restaurant to family and even to my friends here on Yelp. read more

I've been telling my oldest daughter that we should all go here for dinner because I was sure my daughter and son-in-law would like the food here. We finally had the chance to take them last night. My husband and I had been here many years ago when we met Chef Mike in Restaurant Depot. We started talking to him and found out that he opened this restaurant fairly recently (at the time) and he told us that he wanted a place for people in the restaurant industry to have someplace to eat when they got off work. We told him that we used to live in that area but now lived further south and he told us to give his restaurant a try if we were ever in the area. It was probably a few months after we met him that we stopped by. The restaurant was set up differently than it is now (I like the way it's set up now.) and used to have a buzzer at your table that you would press when you were ready for more dishes if you ordered the AYCE. We had never had Korean food before and didn't know what to expect so the small portions were perfect and allowed us to figure out what we liked. The food was amazing then and my husband and I said to each other that we'd be back but unfortunately, we never think of heading north when we're trying to figure out what we want for dinner. Well back to present day, when we entered, we noticed the restaurant set up was differently than how we remembered. We got to pick where we wanted to sit and chose a booth. Our waitress was Chef Mike's sister, Sandy, and she was fantastic! There was another waitress there and they would tag team to see if we needed anything. We decided on the upgraded AYCE for $5 more which included Kalbi Ribs. We started with a little salad and small dishes of kimchee, fish cakes, potato salad, bean sprouts and a couple of others that I don't remember their names. You get your own individual rice in a covered bowl so that the rice is still hot when the meats come out. They also bring out a pot of miso soup (which is bubbling and piping hot) and soup bowls for you to serve yourself. The miso soup is Korean style, not Japanese style, and had a kick to it. My husband normally doesn't like spicy food but he kept drinking it and said that he had a love/hate relationship with it. He loved how the soup tasted but hated how spicy it was, lol. The meats started coming out on platters and looked appetizing and smelled delicious! The Marinated Chicken was very moist and flavorful. The Bulgogi and Kalbi Ribs were amazingly tender and delicious! The Pork Belly was good but I would have liked them better if they were crispier. My husband thought they were perfect the way they were and LOVED it. I didn't care for the Spicy Pork but that's only because I don't like spicy things. My older daughter on the other hand LOVED this. My middle daughter really liked the chicken and my son-in-law couldn't make up his mind between the Kalbi Ribs and Bulgogi. All the dishes were great but we all had our favorites. It was fun trying to rate the dishes in the order that we liked them. The restaurant was a hit and everyone enjoyed their meal. I'm so glad that I remembered this place and we will DEFINITELY be back soon! read more

First time coming to this restaurant. It was great because number one its open til 2am . In Pembroke Pines it is hard to find restaurants open after 10pm. Sometimes you want to eat good but not junk fast food. The food was made fresh and taste great. The fried rice was good highly recommend and the salad was fresh and the ginger sauce amazing. Didn't have much cause it was late 1am. I will come back and try more. The service was so good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will be sure to visit soon. read more

Server: Star & Maggie Beverage: Black Raspberry Wine, Coke, Water Entrees: All You Can Eat Upgrade $27 each Party of 4 Came to celebrate my brother's birthday with my family and was greeted by Starr about 5 minutes after 5 pm. She was gracious and apologetic about the small wait. Once Maggie arrived, things started rolling in and we were ravenous from the ride up from North Miami. It's been a while since we have been up to this restaurant but we are always early birds because of the distance. Starr brought us our drinks and Maggie kept everything coming as we basically gobbled up everything in sight! My favorite is the fish cakes and, galbi (marinated short ribs), and pork belly. Maggie was super attentive, which isn't surprising since we were the only people in the restaurant. I didn't take off a star for them running out of my fish cakes, although that was a disappointment. This place did not disappoint after such a long absence from the last time we visited! We will definitely be back! read more

R.O.K. - The rice cake entree - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

One of the go-to Korean BBQ spots for my group of friends. It's really affordable to order entrees and share with the table and every one leaves full and happy. Since my friends are Americans they just liked the Bulgogi, Spicy pork and Chicken. Me personally, I love it all. I especially enjoyed the soup. Nice and spicy with tofu, veggies and meat. The spare ribs are my personal favorite, they are amazing. You will definitely get your monies worth and won't be leaving hungry. It's a family owned business, so bring friends, stay a while, enjoy delicious food, and bring a large appetite! Just don't be in a hurry. Korean food isn't meant to be rushed. It's about the dining experince and time spent with company. Enjoy! read more

Came here for date night. My dining companion has never experienced ROK and it was a great first experience for him. We order a few dishes and soju (sweet baby Jesus is it strong AND I LOVE IT !) Parking is available directly out front and there is plenty of it. The ladies that are usually running the house are super sweet and informative and accommodating. I'm always super confident bringing people here because the customer service is always so great. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken which was crunchy and had a balanced sauce that was not super sweet which we enjoyed. We also ordered chicken and beef bbq which were delicious. I have no complaints, I left full and satisfied with my experience and the dishes we enjoyed that night. I will be back. Note: They are open pretty late and offer karaoke, this is a great spot to bring friends to eat and chat late night. read more

I wish yelp would let you choose 1/2 stars because I would give R.O.K a 3.5. I wanted a Korean bbq experience, but was slightly disappointed to learn the grills on each table aren't used because they don't have vents for the smoke- all the food is prepared in the kitchen. For food, my group opted to order a la carte instead of all you can eat per the waitress' recommendations, which ended up being the better choice to minimize wasting food. We got bulgogi, kalbi (short ribs), and pork belly which came with all you can eat sides. Also ordered the Japanese pancake (okonomiyaki) which had pork and other ingredients I couldn't place. It came with fried eggs on top and an overload of fish flakes. I would deff recommend the pancake but without the fish flakes- they literally look and smell like fish food and the flavor was overpowering. Out of the meats, I thought the bulgogi and kalbi had the best flavor. However, the meat did take a while to come out so we were munching on the sides long before the meat was ready. In terms of service, the waitresses were friendly and helpful, but they didn't check on us regularly enough to refill waters or side dishes despite the restaurant not being very busy, so we had to keep ringing the table bell. Overall our experience was good, but not excellent. If I was in the area I'd give it another shot, especially since they're open til 2am to catch the late night crowd. read more

Not my first pick for Korean BBQ cause they don't do table top grilling but not bad for AYCE. The meats they use are a bit on the cheap and fatty side but the flavors are good. You can do the $25pp with bulgogi, pork, chicken or upgrade to include Galbi for $29pp. It comes with banchan and lettuce for wrapping plus soondubu for the table. Everything can be refilled just make sure not to over order and waste food. Our server was very nice but she was the only waitress so she seemed to have to deal with a lot. Our favorite was the galbi but there was not a lot of meat of most of the bones. The soup was good but very salty. The banchan was all delicious. They also offer karaoke. It's a good place to eat a lot on an empty stomach with friends. If you're looking for a traditional grill-your-own-meat place, this will not be the place. read more

KOREAN FOOD & KARAOKE ?! yes please ! I had a wonderful time with friends . We arrived at 10pm on a Thursday night , we ordered food and it came quick ! The restaurant is great for groups . There are lots of booths and tables put together . The beef fried rice was delicious .I really enjoyed the Calamari is sweet I personally liked it but I came with my Korean friends and they said it was too sweet for their liking and said it was more Vietnamese style . We wanted to continue enjoying our meal at the karaoke room so they very kindly cleaned our table and sent our food to the karaoke room . There were lots of KPOP Songs to choose from and also American pop for those who don't speak Korean . We all had a blast . We were there until 1:30am . I love how late they are open on a weekday . I recommend and definitely will be back ! read more

I give this place a 3.5. Not due to the service which was extremely accommodating, not due to the food that was really good, not due to the drink which had the great Korean selection. We had a friends get together that I was hoping for a BBQ at the table and a little better ambiance. The food was prepared in the kitchen and brought to the table, there was no button at the table that alerted the server we needed more and it was not as I had experienced in the past with other restaurants of this type. I will say that the ribs, pork belly, bulgogi and accoutrement were delicious and flavor packed. Nothing was bland. One thing in particular was how well Alex (hope I got the name correct) was overly helpful and suggestive in our options. Neat place to check out but would prefer a more Korean experience. read more

I honestly wish this restaurant gave you a full KBBQ experience, but it doesn't. I came with a friend for their all-you-can-eat menu, which costs slightly over $20 per person. Unlike other KBBQ places, you are not given raw meat to cook on the grill. Instead, everything is prepared in the kitchen and brought to you on a hot iron skillet. The food itself tasted amazing -- both beef and pork options were well marinated. The soft-tofu soup was a little too salty for me, but was amazing when mixed with some rice. They also give you a decent amount of side dishes, including the staples of kimchi and other pickled vegetables. However, the service is horrible. My friend and I had to wait well over twenty minutes for our next round of food because the waiter barely visited our table. If our side dishes or waters were empty, they didn't notice until we had to call their attention. The tables are equipped with buzzers that notify your waiter to check on you, but even then, they would forget half of the things we requested. Unfortunately, there are limited AYCE KBBQ options in town, and this one is cheaper than Izziban (unless you're doing the lunch/late-night special). read more

definitely worth it for the price. got the ayce kbbq and sushi, of which my favorite was the gochujang pork belly. the other meats were good but not WOW good like that one. read more

Looking for a Korean place that opens after 12am and has karaoke? This is the place! Service is great and they have the bell service when you need something! I love the bell service! I don't need to get up to get them or try to get their attention with my hands or words. They come pretty fast when I press the button. It's this red circle thing on the table. Every restaurant in Korea has this, I'm so glad they have it! You have an option to do ACYE KBBQ or other dishes. I haven't try the ACYE KBBQ yet but the price and the options are a good deal. Will try in a few weeks! I had the deep fried gizzards, pork yakisoba noodles, and soon dubu. I didn't expect the pork yakisoba to be so big! Definitely worth the portion. I like to eat it spicy, tastes good with sriracha. Soon dubu has tofu, pork, 3 clams, 2 regular shrimps, and 1 egg on the side. Soup broth is not bad but I had better. I like how it includes this many protein options in one good price. Deep fried gizzards are so good! So crunchy and crispy even after 15 minutes! It comes with sesame oil sauce (with salt and pepper) and sriracha sauce. The portion is a lot for appetizer and it's so worth it! I'm going to always order this! I didn't do the karaoke here but my sister did, she like how you can order food inside, just no ACYE kbbq inside). It's 20$ an hour for the karaoke. Despite the bell service, the staff is very friendly and quick on whatever you need! Definitely will come back here! read more
