Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by such friendly staff members. We were shown our table,…read moreand after stating it was our first time, we were adequately told how things worked in terms of ordering, receiving orders etc. We were told at the front of the restaurant is their sauce bar, alongside with appetizers and desserts. We walked up, grabbed our sauces and took a quick look at what they had to offer for appetizers and desserts. Unfortunately, the items looked dreadful. The appetizers consisted of fried chicken wings, french fries, sesame balls and a seafood boil consisting of crawfish, mussels, shrimp and corn. All the items looked dehydrated, old and way past their prime. Nevertheless, we came for the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and we started ordering items off the iPad and they quickly made their way to our table. A very convenient plastic bottle of oil was at every table which made cooking on the grill that much easier. We placed in a handful of different cuts/marinated meats and seafood. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Our top favourites were the kalbi (Korean short ribs), bulgogi and scallops. I'd like to mention the service here is top notch and impeccable. We were constantly checked on, and servers were ready to clear plates off our table to avoid it being overcrowded and their attention to whether our grill needed swapping out with a fresh new one was top shelf. Overall, we had a great experience here. From the most delicious meats and seafood to the great service; we'll gladly return next time we're in the area.

Let me preface this with that we only had the BBQ and not the hot pot…read more Back in Ithaca, and we were tickled by the fact that something like this exists now in town. We would have loved a place like this when we were on campus. This is probably an Ithaca 5. As in, for where you are, this is a good spot. When evaluating this place to a comparable offering in a bigger city, and it falls short. Staff were awesome. They came by when asked and were great. My favorite part of the entire place is the tablet ordering. I love places like that. You're not left waiting for someone to hopefully come by. Even refills and the check can be requested through the tablet, and that's great. As for the options on tbe menu when it came to BBQ, I wish they were a little better. The marinated meats lacked a little something that would take it to the next level for flavor. I found myself wishing for just a tiny bit more, but that's in comparison to coming from a bigger city with plentiful options. They had a self serve area with some foods and dessert. That was great as well.

It's one of those places where you need to know exactly what to get to have a good experience. If you want the perfect affordable meal for two people (they note two but honestly if your friend group is small backed like us, three might also do the trick), head on right over and try their casseroles. If you want to perfectly replicate our experience, try their Boo Dae Jeon Gol, better known as Korean army stew (for curious folks and my fellow food baddies, definitely check out this link about the history of this sexy dish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budae-jjigae#:~:text=It%20also%20goes%20by%20the,stew%2C%20and%20spicy%20sausage%20stew.&text=The%20dish%20has%20its%20origins,Korea%20was%20experiencing%20significant%20poverty. ) It's not a healthy meal for sure nor is this the best budae jigae I've ever had (quite bland for what it is) but omg, it's definitely THE ONE where you can have the most bang for the buck. They have an massive hotpot pan just for their casseroles. My friend and I, both very hungry college students, literally could not down this thing. The menu also mentioned to "share with my people" but perhaps it was a warning all along. The soju here is pretty expensive per bottle, which is a bit of a letdown. However, I do like their green grape soju and the specific brand that they have; it doesn't have that alcohol taste upfront, which is arguably dangerous. Will I willingly come back? Probably notttt, heh heh. There are better places out there to spend your money and time. Nothing about the food or the atmosphere really wowed me. It's just okay for a casual meal, but it didn't leave a lasting impression.

I ordered the soondubu with beef which arrived within the next 5 minutes or so. It came bubbling and steaming hot and with a bowl of semi-warm fluffy white rice. There was a generous amount of soft tofu but the beef was scant. The flavors overall were decent and satisfied my hot-soup cravings on this cold rainy afternoon. I also particularly enjoyed the curry potato banchan that had a hint of sweetness to the savory flavors, but the others (boiled broccoli, bean sprouts, fish cakes) were just ok.
