    I like this Korean BBQ spot. I did get full and the food was good. The downside was that for AYCE you need 2 people. I like to go places alone to try new food but $115.00 for my meal plus a tip wasn't worth it. I do recommend bringing a friend but if your alone go try somewhere else. In California they have Korean BBQ called OZ and you can go alone and get AYCE.

    (4.5 stars) While its name may sound presumptuous, you can't accuse The One of being misleading: Korean BBQ with table grills isn't terribly common around these parts. For those who have had it elsewhere, The One may not bowl you over, especially at its price point. But for those who haven't, it offers more than just a taste of something different. Housed in a spacious, nicely appointed building, The One is clean and comfortable (with surprisingly supportive chairs). The menu includes all-you-can-eat BBQ, BBQ combos, meats a la carte, and an assortment of prepared dishes (apps, soups/stews, bibimbap, etc.). My wife and I opted for the AYCE, and our server, Cody, explained how everything works: order up to three meats at a time, sides and banchan will be provided for the table, help yourself to the ramen bar. Cody was attentive and friendly throughout the meal, and The One seemed well-staffed and efficiently run. While there were a few curious omissions (i.e. no galbi though there were pork ribs) and several dishes we hadn't the stomach for, The One's menu still left us with plenty of options. Across several rounds, we got to try the spicy marinated brisket, thin-sliced beef belly, garlic pork belly, spicy bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, and sweet & spicy pork ribs. They came with rice, vegetables for grilling, cheese corn, bean paste soup, and an assortment of sauces. We ended up passing on the ramen bar as it featured instant packs, and we're spoiled by the real thing. The food was, by and large, delicious. I would hesitate to call the "spicy" bulgogis actually spicy, but they were well-sauced, tender, and flavorful. The soup, on the other hand, had a welcome kick to it, and a few of the banchan provided a bit of heat as well. I didn't run into anything that I would hesitate to reorder. As with sushi, AYCE commands a premium, and The One's version was no exception: $37 per adult ($25 if you go during lunch hours). Come hungry, for a special occasion (birthday in my case), and with a bulgogi craving, and you can get your money's worth. Otherwise, it might seem like a reach. Fortunately, the prepared dishes won't break the bank if you go that route instead. Older reviews suggested that The One had some growing pains early on, but if our experience was anything to go by, they've put those issues behind them. It isn't just the grills that are firing here. On ambiance, service, and food, The One knows how to make an impression.

    The menu photo

    The service was great, but don't base your order of what it look likes on the menu. My mistaked I ask the server and he agreed that it was no where near the same as the photo. He went to the kitchen and brought back some more meat. Pretty chill. Edited: I was notified by the server that the owner agreed that the item was not the same as the menu photo. They took it off the bill. Also if you're in the area and need to take friends to eat and drink. The second level bar will be opening on 12/26/25! Drinks, table games and maybe karaoke?!

    I was very disappointed with my experience at this all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant. First, they charged for a 1-year-old child, which felt unreasonable considering a child that age barely eats enough to justify an additional fee. When I asked about it, the explanation did not make the policy seem any more fair. What concerned me even more was the safety issue. There was hot water left out in the open where it could easily be knocked over or reached by a small child. In a restaurant that welcomes families, this creates an unnecessary risk for burns and injuries. Between the unexpected charge for a toddler and the lack of attention to basic safety, the experience left a negative impression. I hope management reviews both their pricing policies and safety practices to better serve customers and families.

    Teriyaki Chicken.

    Got the all you can eat Teriyaki Chicken and it was delicious. Really enjoyed cooking it at the table myself. The service was great, refills was on time. Had to mention that I was ready for another refill on the chicken, but they brought it right out. Definitely going back.

    Loved the atmosphere here. The food was great and loved the variety of meats, sides, and dipping sauces. The grills are built into the tables, making it a fun, interactive dining experience. There are a couple other similar places in town that each have their own differentiators. Few things different about The One...they have a make-your-own-ramen station, where you get to choose a quick serve ramen pack (similar to what's in the grocery store) with hot water. They also do not have iPads you can quickly order from so you are required to wait for a server to order. It also does not have a sauce bar where you can create your own with recipes for inspiration. Great dinner, service, and atmosphere. Just felt like we were waiting more often than what we've experienced at similar places around town.

    My family and I had an amazing experience at The One KBBQ in High Point. There's an extensive menu with so many great options to choose from. The owner was very generous and took the time to give us excellent recommendations. I especially loved the marinated meats. The vibe of the restaurant is very hip and cool. There's also plenty of seating. Also, if you're a ramen lover, they have a self-service ramen bar, which was such a fun touch. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and great hospitality.

    Drink menu. You can get drinks at the bar before eating.

    When we walked in we joined the waitlist. There were five groups in front of us so we went to the bar to have a couple drinks. Bartender was amazing I asked for their Japanese plum wine, she asked if I had it before I said no and she pour me a shots worth and said try it before I order a whole glass. I am so glad she did it was entirely too sweet! I thank her for the warning. My husband and I shared a bottle of makgeolli together instead. We were chatting and realized we had been waiting for a while and none of the groups ahead of us were at the door anymore. My husband checked our place online and it didn't show so he asked the hostess. She remembered us and was shocked we weren't seated. (There were two hosts seating people). She rectified the situation and immediately sat us at a table. So our waitress was an older woman named Sun. She was super nice but hard to get her attention. Justin the server at the table across from us had more tables so we asked him for refills on rice kimchi and lettuce. Now our orders. We only ordered 3 meats. At most other Korean bbq spots we have been to the meat portions are so small. If you look at my picture of pork belly that was after I took some off the plate! We didn't have to place a second order of meat because they gave us so much the first time. We also got the soup and vegetables. And I got the corn cheese. We also got another bottle of makgeolli at the table. Absolutely no complaints about the food. We couldn't figure out what the sweet white sauce was but all the dipping sauces were good. While we didn't use it they also have an instant ramen bar. Which is super cool. When we come back (which we will) I definitely gotta try it. Highly recommended but super busy so join the waitlist online before you arrive!

    Rock in beef intestine
    Melissa R.

    Overall, I had an okay experience. You check in by entering your info into a tablet at the front, which is cool because it connects to your Yelp account (if you have one). On Yelp, it confirms you're on the reservation list. However, there's no way to see how long the wait is or if you're next to be seated. So, you have to keep going up to the tablet to check manually. The waiters are young (which is fine) and very friendly, but there's definitely room for improvement. It took a few minutes for a server to come over. When they did, they explained how KBBQ works and took our first order I liked that they offer a variety of meats like pork belly, brisket, beef intestines, shrimp, beef bulgogi, chicken neck (I think thats what it was called), and squid. However, the meat was bland. Their spicy options were literally just pieces of meat drizzled with sriracha or something similar. Nothing was marinated. It was disappointing. We ordered the intestines and were let down by the quality. My husband was eating his when he felt something odd. Turns out there was a whole ROCK in his food. We told the waiter, who spoke to the manager. When he came back, he nervously laughed and said, "The manager says sorry and offers dessert," which turned out to be a moon pie with whipped cream, lol (this isn't even an option the menu). I don't know, the whole situation and the way it was handled really ruined the experience. I've been to a few KBBQ spots in different states and have never encountered the food quality or service I did here. While the food was okay, I don't think this location is for me.

    Cash or credit.

    Coming from California... Korean BBQ, Korean food in general is a staple, among other food, so hunting for a good KBBQ was a mission. So here goes nothing, I was ready to give this place a 5 stars but ended up giving it a 3 stars instead.. why?! Well... the service we got was great, we had a reservation and were seated right away when we arrived. The place is so clean compared to the place up the road, floor isn't greasy and so spacious. The menu had lots options except the Korean short ribs were not on the list, that was a bit disappointing. We enjoyed the protein, server came by and checked up on us often. Everything was good. We were offered dessert, which we said ok, but didn't realized it is not part of the AYCE and the server failed to mentioned that as well. Everything went fine until we got the bill, they have a cash option and a card option. Cash option is the price you see on the menu and the total, BUT if you choose to pay with card, they charge more. I looked everywhere on the menu and the restaurant looking for a sign that says if you pay cash it is this amount and if you pay with CARD it is more but failed to find anything. I felt this was very misleading. I get when you use a card, the restaurant has to pay a certain fee but failed to put that anywhere on the menu or anywhere visible... is very FALSE advertisement. This determine that I "might" come back. The One Korean BBQ please train your team, if you order dessert, it is not part of the AYCE and it is more... plus the dessert was not even worth it. Also, put a sign up somewhere for your customers to see that there's a difference between paying by cash or card. Thank you.

    The side dishes were stellar!
    Danielle T.

    Went for an omakase dinner on Saturday. We made reservations, as stated on the sign, and were treated to an amazing time by Ken, our sushi master! He put together an amazing menu just for us and let us linger and relax while we had drinks. I was impressed with how personable and kind he was and how attentive. The bar was very comfortable to sit at as well which is rare because I'm quite short. Seriously, some of the best sushi I've ever had outside of Japan and the sides were amazing!

    A new korean BBQ AYCE in the Triad!!!!!. Fantastic service. Delicous food. Sunday lunch with moderate noise. The building is two stories, the first story is for AYCE BBQ and second story is not open yet but is supposed to be a cocktail bar. Interior is spacious, a modern but comfort look, good for groups and parties. There is also outdoor seating. The banchan (mini side dishes) came out first. My friend and I tried the brisket, garlic pork belly shrimp, squid and salmon. There were all great. There is a order limit of 3 meats and two sides per round. The meats is tender and pretty good quality. We ordered the corn cheese side and beef tofu soup for the two main sides. The corn cheese was too tasty we had to order more of it. The beef tofu was filled with flavor. Luckily we came lunch time around 3. By the time we were done we heard from the customers coming in that they ran out of most of the meats... If your not into AYCE. There is a different menu for korean A La Carte. There is a 120 time limit that starts with the first order. If you have excessive leftovers it will be $5 a plate so order what you can eat!! For big parties of 6 or more there will be a 20% service charge. My next visit am looking forward to trying some of the entrees on A La Carte menu.

    AYCE
    Noelle M.

    The food was delicious. AYCE doesn't include as many options as other Korean BBQ places in the area, but the menu itself is extensive - so many Korean dishes hard to find elsewhere. Love the atmosphere, love the soju options!

All of the BBQ sauces were excellent as well. The atmosphere was awesome, loved the old vintage hometown feel. Can't wait for my next visit, I will arrive earlier to try and get the daily specials!

Like most self-respecting barbecue joints, BBQ Joe's lets the food do the talking: the dining area is strictly utilitarian. They keep busy here, but the staff are very efficient, and you won't be waiting long for anything. While BBQ Joe's serves up the chopped or pulled pork that is synonymous with the Tarheel State, don't go looking for the classic Lexington-style experience. They have a variety of sauces as well as ribs, chicken, smoked turkey, and brisket. Stop in before 11, and you can feast on a variety of biscuits. For my most recent visit, I picked up a chopped brisket sandwich with white slaw, a side of hushpuppies, and a banana pudding. The food was prepped quickly and brought out with a smile. The brisket couldn't touch what I had in Texas, but for High Point, it was definitely respectable. Though not as smokey as I would have hoped for, the meat was tender, and the sandwich held plenty of it. That said, the house Joe's sauce runs a bit sweet, and you might want to add a dash of something spicier. While the ring-shaped hushpuppies were addictively crispy and delicious, the banana pudding rated as tasty but unremarkable. BBQ Joe's is a reliable option for good food and fast service. You can find better barbecue if you're inclined to travel, but for High Point proper, this is it.

    Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.

    It was my first time coming here and for brunch and I got their Magnolia Omelette which had lump…read morecrab, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and havarti cheese with their bradant potatoes and fresh fruit and it was amazing. I also had their fireside mule which was a delicious seasonal brunch drink with crown apple and ginger ale and butterscotch schnapps! We also got biscuits and they came out super dry initially but our server got us fresh ones and the fresh ones came out a little undercooked and she took them back without us even asking! The service was impeccable. The chicken and waffles looked delightful as well. The place is very posh and they have parking behind the building and make sure you walk towards the outside of the building towards their ground floor entrance! I'll be back soon!

    This place... is one of our top two places in Jamestown. (The other is Simply Thai right across the…read morestreet.) Actually in the surrounding area too. Between excellent service, from the host to the kitchen staff, and being a bright, cheery place decorated in a modern farmhouse feel (only complaint is the HARD seating), we love this place. The food is always delicious and seasoned perfectly with FLAVOR. For the appetizer, the Salad Pizza is absolutely scrumptious and was recommended by our server our first visit here last year. Honestly, it keeps bringing us back. The flavors are incredible. It has feta, mozzarella, topped with organic greens, shaved onions, tossed in a lemon/dijon dressing with shaved parmesan. It's a flavor bomb in the mouth. The meatloaf, is to die for. If you're a meatloaf eater this is for you. It's so tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Melts in your mouth and the sauce on top is the perfect blend of sweet and savory to top it off. For my two sides this time I chose the fried brussels sprouts and the greens. The greens are always seasoned perfectly and the brussels sprouts were crispy and full of flavor. They tasted even better dipped in my meatloaf sauce so that was a win-win. My boyfriend had the special which was short ribs. For his two sides, he had greens and green beans. The short rib was perfectly tender and absolutely delicious full of flavor and moist for him. The green beans and the greens were also perfect as well full of flavor, just enough fat and butter. It's a great little date spot or a family dinner. They also have outdoor seating covered with umbrellas. There's a bar inside with a TV if you choose to go watch sports and the food here is always on point full of flavor and makes you want to come back and try more things on the menu. You can't go wrong at southern roots.

    We had a great experience at Southern Roots. Between the table, we tried the Gouda Pimento Dip,…read moreshort ribs, the Granny Smith salad with shrimp, and the crab-stuffed trout. Everything was delicious, although my partner wasn't a huge fan of the short ribs. The trout and salad were both excellent. The cheese dip was delicious. The sides were a standout, especially the Parmesan spaghetti squash, which I highly recommend. We had to put some extra salt on the sides, but that's purely personal preference. They also had several reasonably priced drink specials, which was a nice surprise. The service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and a big part of what made the meal so enjoyable. Overall, a really solid dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
