First time having KBBQ in North Carolina and WOW!!!. I don't know why I didn't come here sooner!…read moreThe food was great, not out of this world but good for AYCE. Lots of different options, my favorite was the different pork bellies and the LA Galbi was great as well. Also really enjoyed the little side dishes (반찬). I really love the interior, they seem to have a good ventilation system for each table with a grill, there's a bar and the tables are fairly huge. Not super loud either, each table is spaced apart thoughtfully. Now, I have to praise the staff here for their AWESOME customer service. If I could give a 100/5 for customer service alone, I would. This was like Michelin-level elite service. They refilled my drink, changed my grill for clean one, brought over sauces, Really loved the energy and personality of all the staff that I interacted with :). Also my main hostess, Samantha I think was her name, was next level service like better than some of the Michelin star restaurants that I have been to. She assisted in grilling some of the meats whenever she brought them over and it was outstanding, I was just awestruck by the service provided this evening.

From check in to being seated, the experience was seamless we only waited about five minutes. Our server, Talaya, was incredible and provided outstanding hospitality throughout our visit. While the food was delicious, what stood out most was the teamwork among the staff. My water glass never sat empty, and sauces/sides were always replenished without us having to ask. The ambiance was relaxing, welcoming, and perfect for a casual meal. It's also very kid friendly, which I appreciated. I can't wait to bring my little one on our next visit. Looking forward to coming back!

This raw fish over rice and spring mix was delicious, a little on the pricey side. The Bulgogi fries were super delicious.

Every dish was presented well. It looks like a popular late night place for young people. I would come back. Note: the location was a little tricky as it appears to be at a corporate park.

Bonus is they have lots of seating, so great for large groups! We ordered the seafood pancake, donkatsu, and tofu soup. Everything came out delicious, well balanced in flavor, and the portions were generous.

The owner was super sweet as well and kept refilling our water which was a good sign. Overall a really solid meal and a great place to stop if you're looking for hearty Korean comfort food in Cary.

It was enough for two meals for me, and the price is reasonable! ($13 for the entree, $2 for extra rice) The wait staff is always really nice. All around good vibes here! Edit: when my boyfriend and I came in at 5:30pm on a Sunday night, the service and food were both impeccable. We will likely come more often due to this! The kalbi jjhim is fantastic. The meat was very tender, and the sauce is so flavorful. The only reasons I put down four stars for service was the most recent time we visited, our servers were relatively inattentive. The atmosphere is nice, but the temperature in the restaurant is always just a little too cold. The pork bulgogi lunchbox is well worth the price! I love the way they season the bulgogi, although it is on the saltier side.

Restaurant was clean, bustling with good vibes of patrons happily eating Korean food. Our waiter Paul is the best. We ordered and were brought little plates of kimchi, macaroni, etc. These were delicious. We finished them and our meals came out many of them sizzling from the hot pots. I had the spicy squid with noodles. It was the perfect slickness and I got a side of rice which I added to it, as the sauce is great to soak it up. Daughter had tofu bimbibop and she loved every mouthful. As we had told Paul we were celebrating our friends birthday, he brought out a marshmallow cookie with the plate decorated with happy birthday. Allbin all a wonderful meal with top notch service.

Here…read moreare my gripes: The Agwi-jjim was supposed to have sea Squirt and it didn't, also did not come with wasabi. If you don't have the right ingredients then this should not be on the menu. The Banchan was lacking. The Buchimgae was ok, no complains there. The dolsot bibimbap came in a flat stone plate rather than a traditional bowl. The dish requested was suppose to have beef and it had very few beef pieces. To quote the famous Wendy's commercial "Where's the Beef?!" The bossam lettuce wasn't salted enough and seemed like they used sugar and the samjang was also off..I don't know what it was missing. I think they americanized the taste. Traditional Korean food is not overly sweet. The servers did not have knowledge of the dishes. None of the wait staff spoke korean. The bonus was at least they didn't blast k-pop music and didn't serve cheese corn which is not a traditional Korean dish. I also wished they had Japgokbap.

Dining room was more than half empty at 12:30 Sunday afternoon. We were asked if we were doing kbbq & when we said no, we were told that it was a 30-45 minute wait. The excuse was that they had a super busy Saturday & the kitchen is still trying to catch up. I get that they're trying to push everyone onto their ayce kbbq menu but that was the lamest excuse ever. Don't you prep early to get the pars set for the day? It is less work for them to do kbbq since the cooking is done at the table but this left a bad impression. It's clear that they don't value potential customers.

I personally had the steamed edamame. I could've used a little more salt but still good. My main entree was the chicken bibimbap. They provided a few complementary sides for the table. Fish cakes, kimchi, apple salad, cucumbers and 2 others (not sure of the exact dish names. First time having fish cakes and apple salad DELICIOUS. I need it every time I come back now lol. It was a calm day, not too many people in. The space is nice and clean. The waiter was welcoming and nice. We let them know there was a birthday and they bought out a piece of cake and sang happy birthday. I paid for myself and my partner but wanted it on one check to prevent my card from being swiped twice. There's a slight language barrier so I don't think what I was saying was conveyed due to my card being swiped twice. Not a huge issue. Overall experience was great. We will be going back and maybe even trying out the karaoke room they have.

I was good with that because the food was delicious and such good value. Shared 3 dishes between 3 people: seafood stew, ddeokboki, and spicy LA galbi. Loved all of the dishes, all delicious with substantial quantity and amount of veggies. Perhaps what stood out the most was the ddeokboki since that's the best value dish I've ever seen at any restaurant--large in quantity that doesn't shy away in the amount of mix-ins (fishcake, cabbage, green onions, etc). Definitely will be keeping this place in mind for the next time I'm in the area.

While the selection is limited, especially if you're looking for hard to find fresh produce, the restaurant has you covered for standard Asian products. Our go-to (only order) is the Korean fried chicken. The restaurant serves a whole cut-up chicken for approximately $20. If you've not experienced Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) previously, you're in for a treat. We typically order plain, as we've found (KFC) can veer too sweet for our palate - but we are definitely in the minority. The crunch factor is hard to beat. On this particular occasion we mixed, original with a flavored option. I love original/plain but did find the plain to be under seasoned and the chicken weirdly cut up. At any rate, it was still delicious and would recommend. We've tried KFC prior and would order here again, but there is a chain restaurant on radar. KFC: 3.8
