Been a few times, usually getting the same thing, and it's always good. The meat, particularly the beef set, is delicious and well marinated. Other dishes like veggie tempura and tofu bibimbap are also consistently pretty good. Lots of drinks options, alcoholic or otherwise. Staff aren't overly attentive as they're usually quite busy but are very quick to help if you need more of something, need a fresh grill etc. Can get busy in the evenings so best to call ahead and reserve a table, just in case.

Went for lunch as the first two customers of the day. The waitress was very kind to turn on the music the moment we sat down at the table. Some people may find the food a bit bland but for me they were good. I quite enjoyed the meal.

My absolute first experience of Korean BBQ. Had no idea what to expect going in.Really enjoyed the food but staff made it difficult for us to enjoy our meal. This was our first experience of Korean BBQ and we were very excited.It would have been good if the staff had been able to explain that if you order meat for the BBQ this would come with 'free' side salads (lettuce, sauce, oil, pickles, etc.). We'd made it clear several times we had no idea what to order or how it worked but they didn't really try to explain it to us. We ended up ordering way too much.For the record, 3 types of meat is probably plenty for 2 people. Nothing else is really needed as it comes with garnishes and it is the type of place where you can just order more.Next time I'll try the other outlet of this. Food was great and now we know what to order, it will be a lot more fun.Just don't expect to have attentive service here.

We’re staying nearby and wanted to grab a quick but tasty dinner after exploring the city.We both had beef bibimbap, they served some extra salads and namul and the potion was decent and tasty. I liked the stone bowl that made it taste different and kept the meal warm.The price is also reasonable. We’d love to come back when we next visit here!

We booked this to try a new dining experience and we were not disappointed. We selected the set 'b' and some prawns, with beer. The place was full and service by the two ladies was swift. They kept an eye on our grill and gave us a fresh plate. The scissors mentioned in another review were helpful. We'd definitely do it again.

What an amazing placeWe started with kimchi pancake (on photo) - delicious, crunchy, salty and fluffy goodness. Also we enjoyed amazing chicken dumplings - forgot to take photo of them, they were very nice, neat and tastyAs mains we shared set D - chicken in spicy marinade, pork belly, pork neck, beef slices in tasty marinade and two beers. We had some kimchi and rice on side and it came with very lovely pickles and salad leaves and amazing dipping sauce. Meat is good quailty and they change the grill rack regularly to avoid you grilling on burnt bitsIt was a wonderful experience, definitely recommended!!!They take cards and do book a table - very busy restaurant.

Actually it's located very strategic next to main road. The thing is : the staff is not from korea, they didn't even remember the menu name. We came in 7ppl, 3 of us did not eat because they're going to station soon. The staff was very rude to us, she kept insisting asking us for ordering more. Then when our friends really going, one of the staff approached us, saying we cannot sit there, we have to move to smaller table and since we did not have reservation, we have limit by 1 hour to finish our meal. THE THING IS, COUPLE MINUTES LATER, THERE ARE 4 PEOPLE LITERALLY SITTING ON OUR PREVIOUS TABLE.The food.. was not even korean. Everything was so wrong... not authentic one (verified by my korean friend). Japchae supposed not to have any soups. Kimchi pancake, it's just sour cabbage omellete. how could they got 4.5 rating on google maps? Must be insane..I even don't think they understand what i wrote here. Their english was very poor.

Bbq-wise, pretty standard experience. A decent range of sets to choose from depending on what mood you're in. Scissors provided for cutting meat which you don't get everywhere, so that's a nice touch. The seafood pancake was nice, and their "Korean bbq sauce" was lovely (but tasted more like a chilli/garlic kind of sauce than bbq). Staff were not the most welcoming nor attentative.

Overall the cuisines are good. Very good BBQ. However, PLEASE Be careful ordering their desserts…for example this fired banana and ice cream…GOSH! Hogwash is even more tasty

I've had very good Korean food in various other cities and also made by Korean friends, so I admit that I had high expectations. If you've already had great Korean food, you won't be too impressed, as every dish we had seemed to be somehow a mild down version of the original. But if it's your first time, or if you are used to mild flavours, you'll probably love it, especially if you are a meat lover, because it's not bad at all and it's great to cook your food at the table!
