    It was my first visit here. We chose the classic combo #2, cooked at the table. The pork ribs was the best, flavorable and tender. The meat could have be cooked with salt and pepper. Some of the meat in the package was bland. The sides were hit and miss. The wings and calamari appetizers were very good.

    My friend and I were both new to Korean BBQ and put ourselves in our servers hands for advice. The Korean chicken wings started us off right, then we were treated to a smorgasbord of delicious tabletop cooked meats, rice and veggie sides. Flavors blew our tastebuds away and we ended up satisfied and needing our stretchy pants. Can’t wait to do it again soon!

    Love this place! Nothing else like it in town. Good quality meats, interesting, fresh sides, cool & hip atmosphere. Love how mgmt keeps an eye on the whole place & checks on tables while servers are moving around, doing their thing. The marinated short rib is melt-in-your-mouth tender!
