Really good KBBQ experience. Friday night dinner, no reservation required. Classic cuts for Korean BBQ, but definitely missing the diversity of meats a little bit. We had brisket and bulgogi, really good quality and tasty. Inside was really good setup with proper exhaust pipes and wooden tables. read more

This place is huge and the service is good but thats were the praises end. It was overpriced and deeply disappointing. The meat quality was poor and the flavors were strange and unbalanced. As someone who enjoys Korean food, this felt like an insult to the cuisine. Even the rice was bad, which is hard to excuse. The drinks were decent, but that was the only bright spot of the meal. Honestly, the highlight of my night was leaving and getting ice cream at the nearby Baskin-Robbins. read more

A total disaster!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Spent one hour waiting with my family just to be told that we needed to wait an additional half hour just for appetizers!!! We left. Restaurant is a mess. read more

The food was good but not enough to justify the wait or price point. Almost $50 for the portion of pork belly pictured. No AYCE option but lots of tasty Korean classics. Enjoyed the japchae and the fried chicken but the corn cheese and tteoboki would probably not order again if I came back. I usually love these dishes when eating at KBBQ spots but the versions here just didn't do it. The drinks were phenomenal, my favorite being the tropical sake but all of the cocktails I'd recommend. Our server was awesome but we didn't get his name. Made some great drink/food recommendations when present. It took a while for any items to come out after ordering. About 25-30 mins for water and drinks alone. Once we tapped another server to check on the status of our items everything started to flow out so it's possible they were backed up or forgot us. I'd recommend a reservation for any parties larger than 2. Also a heads up if you don't plan to order any meats (KBBQ on grill) you will have to sit at the bar. We were told this is to make room for patrons ordering BBQ as most tables have built in grills. Casual atmosphere, good music, moody lighting, and sort of gastropub feel. read more

I'm puzzled by all the 1-star reviews. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and experiences vary; however, I have to completely disagree based on my experience. Is it 100% authentic? Of course not. There is no Korean community here, so finding certain ingredients will be very hard to come by. But that doesn't mean it is bad. Far from it. Please note that this review is solely based on the bbq. I haven't tried the non-bbq items. As for the bbq goes, I thought it was excellent. We ordered the classics: bulgogi, galbi, and pork belly. They were all delicious, especially the bulgogi and galbi. The sides (banchan) were also good, including the kimchi, which is house made. It was mildly spicy. I went with my wife, son, and a friend. We went on a Friday night at around 7pm. I had called in the afternoon to make a reservation but was told they don't take reservations. First come, first serve. There is no parking, nor valet. It's all street parking. Calle Loiza is a busy street at night, thus parking can be a pain. We found a spot on a side street. I prefer street parking on or north of Calle Loiza. Less sketchy. It was a packed house. Wait time was about 30-40 min. We were discussing other options when they called us. Once seated, service was in point considering the busy night. Our server was great. It turns out he was the owner's son, and the woman who greeted us his sister. This is a family run business. We even had a chance to chat with the owner after we ate. They were all very nice. The vibe is hip and fun. Reminded me of a brewery minus the board games. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The experience, as a whole, was perfect. Having lived in LA, I've had ny fair share of k-bbq. While this one wasn't fully authentic, what was authentic was the k-bbq experience that I felt I got: great company, great food, great service, fun atmosphere. I would return, this time to try the non-bbq items. I also recommend checking this place out. It's certainly not 1-star material. read more

This has just become one of my favorite restaurants in PR. I had always been interested in dining here but was always skeptical about it. A Korean restaurant in PR is unheard of and having lived in LA several years I thought I would be massively let down. I am glad I was proven wrong. This place serves up some excellent Korean bbq. Reminded me of LA. We ordered the bulgogi, galbi, and pork belly. They were all good, but the bulgogi and galbi stood out. The sides were also very tasty. We also ordered the chicken wings and bulgogi bao buns as appetizers. I recommend both but if I had to choose one I would prefer the bao buns. To top off an excellent dinner, the service was outstanding. We met the owner. He is Puerto Rican, but has traveled to LA's K-town to learn and improve his dishes. His passion shows in the food. Also, it is a family run business and his grown kids work there too. They were all very nice and made a good dining experience great. I will be back. They don't take reservations and they close at 9pm. Get there early to avoid a long wait. read more

This is the worst Korean bbq restaurant we've been to, the food is terrible! We've been to many Korean bbq and this is by far the worst. Only thing good was the service. The beef was so salty and the pork belly nasty. They took 45 minutes to bring out the food & the portions were tiny. They charged us almost $17 for five bottles of water. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

: Una Decepción Costosa. Mi esposa y yo visitamos este restaurante el día de ayer, con la intención de disfrutar de una experiencia de BBQ coreano de calidad, algo que siempre nos ha encantado. Sin embargo, lo que esperábamos que fuera una velada agradable terminó siendo una gran decepción En cuanto a la comida, las porciones eran extremadamente reducidas para el elevado precio. Los cortes de carne, que deberían ser la estrella del BBQ coreano, no solo eran escasos, sino que parecían haber sido previamente machacados, lo que afectó tanto la textura como el sabor. Además, uno de los aperitivos fue colocado directamente sobre el grill, algo completamente inapropiado y que demuestra una falta de cuidado en la presentación y el servicio. En un restaurante de este tipo, se espera que la calidad, la atención al detalle y la relación entre precio y porciones estén a la altura de lo prometido. Desafortunadamente, este lugar no cumplió en ninguno de estos aspectos, dejando una sensación de frustración y desperdicio. A pesar de su ambientación agradable, este restaurante carece de los estándares necesarios para justificar sus elevados costos. Existen otras opciones en la ciudad que ofrecen una experiencia más satisfactoria como por ejemplo Kkogi Korean BBQ en Guaynabo tanto en sabor como en servicio. No recomendaría este lugar para quienes buscan disfrutar de un auténtico y bien ejecutado BBQ coreano. Calificación: 2/5 read more

There is no way, they were quick to get us a table. The staff was extremely friendly, and they explained the menu because it was our first time there. Highly recommend the wings. The ambience was romantic, but kids were definitely welcomed. You can totally dress casual, or however, you want. Definitely recommend as a finer restaurant on the strip. And you have to order their wings... They are one of the best on the island. read more

Let's starts off with the service, it was a bit confusing but overall pretty decent. The people they had serving were a bit awkward but still pretty nice. The food was mid for the price. It was very expensive and it did not fufill my expectations. Overall pretty good ambience, wasn't too hot or too cold, the music was decent as well, really enjoyed the Kpop though. Overall everything was just okay, wouldn't say bad or too good, just okay. The wait for the food also took more than 45 mins, and one of my friends food they even forgot about so she had to wait an extra 20 minutes for it to be made. Once again overpriced for not good food. read more

Perfect for a date night, dinner with friends ! Loved the ambience, staff was so polite and attentive. Moscow mules are a must have ! These people really know how to make a perfect Moscow mule. The sweet potato noodles are a must have, we also ordered the Korean wings and 10 out of 10 ! So crispy yet juicy on the inside and the sauce was bomb. Def going back !! Parking can be a little tricky but if you go to their insta page they will show you with a map where you can find good parking.

Kids had a hankering for Korean food so made a reservation here for 1pm before our flight home. We arrived and the host said they were not opening until 2pm and attempted to blame OpenTable. It was clearly their fault. If they intended to open later they should have corrected it on OpenTable. read more

ZERO STARS. The managers on duty or owners are terrible people to their employees in the face of their customers, I had second hand embarrassment all night and full blown anger. All in all, the price point isn't horrifying but it could be better, the ambiance is cute, they play Kpop, service is slow and the restaurant is small. I'd recommend only if you have low expectations & aren't too picky with covid procedures because they aren't TOO careful. As a manager myself, it's embarrassing how they talk to their staff, clap at them to hurry them up, cut them off while speaking to tables, make you reuse disposable plates etc. Y'all should be embarrassed. I left a longer more detailed review on their Facebook page if anybody wants to read that. And don't even respond to me here with the same disrespectful crap you have said to other clients. Just get your sh*t together & RESPECT YOUR STAFF. read more

I write this review reluctantly because I really wanted to like this restaurant. The atmosphere was great and the server was super-nice. The food was also not bad. Certainly not the best Korean BBQ I've had, but decent. The problem is that it's ri-dic-u-lous-ly overpriced. Everything on the menu costs about double what it would cost in a normal Korean BBQ place. And I'm not some hick who's unaccustomed to "big city" prices. I lived in LA for eight years and ate at many Korean BBQ restaurants that were far superior to Ujeong in terms of the food quality, yet literally half the price. When we sat down and viewed the menu, I was initially shocked by the prices. For example, an order of Bulgogi costs $45. This normally costs about $20 - $25 at any place in LA. The server assured us that it was a large portion, enough for two people, so then I felt a little better about the price. I was dining with a friend, so we decided to split the Bulgogi and order an appetizer. Besides that, I had a beer and he had a cocktail. Unfortunately, when the Bulgogi came out, it was just a normal-sized portion for one person, that you could get anywhere in LA for $25. Long story short, we spent over $100 on dinner and left there feeling like we hadn't eaten at all. When I got home, I made myself a sandwich. read more

Great experience, I have visit Korean BBQ back in California and indeed it has the essence. The restaurant is adapted to Puertorican cuisine, so don't expect a all you can eat bbq type. All items are to order and the waiters cook the meat for you in the table burner. The owner is really kind and communicative. The Sake its pretty good with an nice presentation. The food quality its good considering the price and the restaurant location. The ambient is great to hangout with friends or have a couple dinner away from the usual restaurants. I overall recommend the restaurant read more

Let's get the positives out of the way first. The decor is absolutely charming, clean, modern, and the atmosphere is warm and pleasant. The sake was good, even though it took an hour to reach our table. I might consider coming back just to sit at the bar and drink sake. Now, moving on to areas for improvement. My experience got worse and worse as the night went on, so I'll just start at the beginning. The FOH is discombobulated. They need to improve communication. I think there were roughly eight tables and five servers. With that kind of coverage, they should have been able to deliver attentive service. Let's just say it didn't pan out that way. In our party of ten, not one person had any drink (even water) for 45 minutes. The side dishes came out with the water, but the meats didn't come for another 45 minutes. We had eaten most of the side dishes by the time the meats came... because we were starving. As for the side dishes (banchan), they were extremely underwhelming. Banchan are supposed to be enjoyed throughout the main course. They are supposed to be acidic and vinegary, to cut through the meat taste. There were not enough offerings, and they were simply not very good. Furthermore, as I said, they brought out the banchan 45 minutes before the meat, seemingly just to taunt us. One of the banchan was clearly just canned pineapple that had been covered in dried red peppers to make them "spicy." Yuck. We only had two acceptable side dishes: I thought the amarillos were tasty, albeit nontraditional, and the kimchi was OK, but there was such a tiny amount that not everyone even got to taste it. Now, onto the meats. We ordered the bulgogi and the short ribs, plus mushrooms and corn. At some Korean BBQ restaurants, the servers cook the meat, and at others, you cook it yourself. That said, you should always get the option. In this case, it was clear that the server had no idea what he was doing. I would much rather have done it myself. He was handsome, though. We'll call him The Handsome One for simplicity's sake. After our excruciating hour-and-a-half wait, the entrees finally arrived, but with a surprise guest, who I believe was the owner. Without asking us how we were doing, she began taking unsolicited pictures of us and the grill. I turned away because I felt totally exploited, and I was already unsatisfied. Among other qualms with the nature of the photo op, it would've been simply disingenuous for me to look happy in the photo. Moving on... The Handsome One started by putting our entire order of mushrooms onto the grill at once, without asking what we wanted to try first. He covered the entire grill with a lifeless pile of marinated mushrooms two inches thick, and surrounded it with quartered corn cobs. Anyone who can rub two brain cells together should know that this is going to make the grill too cold. Our mushrooms, sadly, never did cook properly. Some say, if you listen closely on a quiet night, you can still hear the mushrooms crying out, begging to be put back on the grill. After about 20 minutes of shroom torture, The Handsome One noticed we were getting anxious so he lumped the mushrooms into a bowl and announced that they were done, so he could put on the meat. This Hail Mary attempt to jolt our night back to life left the mushrooms rubbery and flavorless. I never heard one single, sorry sizzle. The marinade was sickly sweet, with little flavor. One particularly sad, teary-eyed mushroom caught my eye and choked, "Please, I deserve to die honorably!" Overly sweet, soggy mushrooms for $25. Ouch. Next comes the meat. I will concede, the other half of our table did order pork belly on their separate grill. I got to try one small piece and it gave me hope. Decent, although not very much meat for the price. Unfortunately, reality struck again, with a vengeance. The Handsome One haphazardly slapped down two bacon strip-sized portions of "short rib" onto the still-cold grill. I drew my journal from my back pocket and neatly penned the following entry: "Day 2. Still no sizzle. Beginning to grow weary. I think back to my childhood, and try to draw on my father's strength. If I'm not here tomorrow, tell Jane I loved her." The ratio of bone to meat in the short ribs was simply criminal. As I desperately cast each bone segment into my mouth, I voraciously sucked off the tiny bits of gristle and meat like a dire wolf lusting after that last drop of blood. I was so hungry. By the time The Handsome One put the bulgogi on the grill, I had relinquished any hope that it would be tolerable. I'm glad I did, because I'm not sure I could've borne the disappointment that was to ensue. In a moment, I will explain my grievances with the quality of the meat, but I will preface this by saying that I am no snob. I won't turn my nose up at Panda Express or Taco Bell. Yes -- the meat quality is mediocre at best, but they make it tasty by adding a ton of MSG. Mmm. Review too long... See photos. read more

So I'm Korean, but I went to try this place knowing in my mind it's not going to be authentic or even decent. But I had hoped it was going to be just Ok. So I had low expectations. Let's just say it blew away my low expectations into the pit of tastelessness. Ordered the kimchi stew with bulgogi at the bar table, because I didn't want table side bulgogi cooked for you. The kimchi stew didn't have any pork belly in it, which is one of the main ingredients in kimchi stew next to the kimchi. It also had potatoes in it which was interesting. Hey why not add a cheap filler right!? From the taste, the kimchi was not fermented what so ever and there was no spice. It was more a cabbage stew then a kimchi stew. It was so bland. Actually, an Irish cabbage stew would have more flavor. The kimchi stew was $10 plus $8 to add bulgogi meat. Which I decided to add because it had no pork belly. And another $1.50 for a small bowl of rice.The kimchi stew portion was a joke, it's size of miso soup cup (see photo) and for $8 more, I got 3 piece of bulgogi added. Which was so sweat, it overed power the already bland kimchi stew. So bland soup with sweat meat was not the best combination. So don't waste your time and money. The owner nor the cooks are Korean and it shows. I would have to say the staff was friendly and on point and it has a nice ambiance. The only good thing about the place. read more

Don't order takeout from this place! Worst Korean food I've ever had in my life. Not only was the food over an hour late via delivery, the Korean pancake was soggy and basically frozen vegetables mixed with flour! Never seen that in my life. The dumplings were also soggy and gross. Ended up throwing it all away because it wasn't edible. GROSS! Save your money and order McDonalds instead. Or instant noodles are even better than this.

Casual ambiance. The food was pretty good overall, the chicken bulgogi was excellent as were the sides. The service was so so, the server kept insisting that all the meat had to be cooked at once or to turn off the grill between grillings. This isn't really how Korean BBQs work as you are supposed to grill as you go. On another visit the server dumped all the meat on the grill to cook at once and didn't allow us to do it, which again is not the Korean BBQ experience. If it wasn't for this I would rate it 5 stars. read more

We passed by it and were automatically intrigued. The service was very good and the food was delicious. Our favorite was the pork belly!

I tried this place for the first time last night. It has a marvelous atmosphere. The illumination is just right. The full bar looks stunning at the very end of the restaurant. Ricardo was our server and he's very charismatic, polite and enthusiastic to guide us through their process. Most K-BBQ leave it up to you to do the cooking. This guys give you a little extra by cooking with you. The Selection of the banchan is generous and fresh. They refill as many times as you need. The freshness of the meats is front and center. If you want to cook it medium or medium rare I would say it is safe to do so due to the great quality of the cuts. Try it out and tell your friends about it! read more

Im eager to write this review. This place is not only friendly, but most certainly cleanse and polite. The FOOD is even better than the people!! Amanda, the bartender, was not only so welcoming, but made sure I was well taken care of during my visit. She tended to my needs and was the most genuine person ever. Coming to Puerto Rico during a pandemic was challenging but Ujeong was very comforting and reassuring. The food was top star and the drinks even better, I recommend having the Sweet Bae and Sauco Gingsentini. I cannot wait to tell the rest of my network in New York City to check out the ONLY and BEST Korean BQQ restaurant in Puerto Rico ! Miguel the owner, was present, respectful and polite as well.

I've been looking forward to coming for a while and it met all of my expectations! Its a super cozy place with great service.

Wish I had checked the reviews before coming here. Prices are ridiculously high compared to the US, but may be not that out of line for the island. $35 for bulgogi and close to $20 for a bibimbap. We were told each of the meats and hot dishes would be enough for 2 people but 3 of us finished everything and could have eaten more. We waited almost an hour and it seemed like every table was served ahead of us, even the ones that had arrived after us. Not sure what the hold up was for raw meat.... flavor of the food was decent but the bulgogi slices were too thick and the banchan was pretty meh. They also put the meat on the grill before letting it heat up. The staff seemed friendly but we were checked on almost to the point of annoyance - every one of them stopped by to ask how things were and if they could clear the plates (while we were still eating). Not worth your money or time - and you need a lot of both to eat here. read more

Food was ok. Service was not so good. The individual extractors for the pans were not working at all. Even we told the waitress and they lied. We had to stand up and get the check and pay on another side. There is no kids menu even I asked for plain noodles (obviously I was going to pay extra) but they told they couldn't. I think they were in a rush as they keep reminding us that kitchen closes at 9 pm even we were there at 7:30. They didn't have any knife to cut the beef. Just the kitchen scissors. read more

There's a Domino's Pizza on the corner. I don't even like pizza. tldr.. Worst meal I have ever had. I can't start to describe how overpriced the Korean bbq courses are. Don't expect to cook your food at the grill yourself, a large man will be standing over the table with his armpit in your face while he tries to warm the soggy brown mush that cost you $35 and couldn't feed a pigeon. Go somewhere else, anywhere else. Save yourself.
