Drove to Madison for a concert at the Sylvee, this restaurant was a very short walk from parking and show. Food was fast, it was hot and crazy delicious. Had a beer ate a full plate and was ready to rock. I almost waited 1/2 hour to sit at a beer bar restaurant to get the same thing you find everywhere, glad I had the time for a short walk and packed a taste for Korean BBQ, Very reasonable pricing, made a perfect night. If you read this, go there. read more

Driving through Madison, Wisconsin on a road trip, we checked Yelp and decided to try this place. Doesn't look like much from the outside -- sits on a busy street corner with construction going on around it and only one table seated inside. Kind of funky and casual, but super great service and food! Ordered the bulgogi beef, chicken teriyaki, and jap chae. 10 previous reviews, we decided to skip the grill experience, and we absolutely did that the right way! Everything was delicious, a little bit sweet, not spicy. The best meal we've had this entire trip (from west coast)! read more

5 Star Korean BBQ - Chicken teriyaki and beef bulgogi on skillet - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I've been wanting to try 5 Star Korean BBQ for quite awhile. It's on a busy intersection we drive by all the time. Last Thursday night we finally stopped while walking back from Breese Stevens Field. It does have a little parking lot, but its location might make it a challenge to get in and out of by car. It was incredibly hot that day so I was looking forward to eating inside a cool air-conditioned restaurant. It wasn't that cool inside 5 Star. Our table was by the window and I was sweltering. When I went to use the restroom on the other side of the restaurant where the grill tables are, it was cool over there. They need to work on the circulation for these hot days. I was uncomfortable throughout the entire meal. The atmosphere is a little bit divey/dingy but everything seems clean. Our waitress brought us menus and a couple of small waters which I knew she'd need to refill many times. She was very friendly and made recommendations when asked. We ordered the Bul Go Ki Beef and the Oh Sam Bul Go Ki. We were served five sides for our banchan. Thin slices of marinated fish cake, seaweed salad, kimchi, steamed eggplant, and broccoli with some radish. My partner loved the eggplant. He also loved the beef and says this is his new favorite Korean restaurant and he can't wait to go back. Mine was the pork and squid in spicy sauce. The pork was delicious and juicy. The squid however was terribly overcooked. It was like trying to chew through rubber. The flavor of the sauce was great, but the texture of the squid was nearly inedible. Portion sizes were good and we took leftovers home. My partner loved it so I'm sure we will go back. I will not order the squid. read more

The food here is phenomenal. I'd give this place a full five stars if the service was better. Have also found that there's more heat to the dishes if you order delivery, instead of going in for your meal. So, now I just tend to do that instead. My faves: G-4. Sam Gyup Sal Kim Chi Bokeum G-3. Bul Go Ki Pork G-1. Bul Go Ki Beef N-1. Jop Chae AND those Kim Chi Dumplings. *swooooon* read more

This place is fabulous; WAYYY gooder than Sol's on the Square. The dukbokgi was spot on, spicy and not too soupy. Loved the shredded cabbage and fish cakes, could've lived without the shredded carrots but I just pushed them aside. The Banchan (side dishes) were all light and tasty. The Kalbi was marinated with some type of fruit (the best kalbi's usually are) and I inquired. She said it's marinated in , , , and something else I forgot. Five fruits total and the meat was perfectly tenderized. I did miss the onions that Sol's had on the skillet but without was just fine. Kimchee jjigae (kimchee soup) was good. Not spicy enough and not enough flavor, but still good. My dining buddy is sick so I was focusing on soups but the duk guk came to the rescue. Duk guk (rice cakes in ovals, rather than the tubes like dukbokgi...otherwise same. It's just mashed rice) was SOLID! Best soup in a long time, beef broth was flavorful, rice cakes were cooked well, eggs were light and fluffy, and the seaweed garnish added a nice saltiness to the soup. Bibim naengmyeon (cold, spicy noodles) were ok. Served with a side of mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in a cold, sour soup? soup was a nice addition, as the noodles were too dry to eat without some soup in it. I added more gochujang but I always do. My dining buddy did NOT like the mul naengmyeon soup, and didn't care much for this dish overall. More for me! Actually ate here twice in one day; solid Korean choice! We'll be back next time we're in town for more Badger-mania! read more

This was the best dinner I have had in so long! We went on a Sunday during dinner. Read other reviews here on Yelp but we wanted to try it out for the first time for ourselves. The workers were so nice and welcoming when we walked in. We were sat immediately and ordered shortly afterwards. We sat at a grill table and the food came out right away. There were others dining in spots all over the restaurant as well and their service also appeared to be as quick as ours. The food was fresh, the drinks we ordered were tasty and the server was great at her job and very polite. The food was amazing and was so much fun to cook and be creative to see what flavor combinations we could make from the meat and various side dishes. Everything was delicious and it was a great time. Just the right portion sizes for dinner. We were pleasantly satisfied and as we were leaving about two to three workers wished us a good night. On our way out I accidentally forgot my jacket on the back of the chair and our server quickly ran out and caught us almost immediately after we walked to our car to make sure we got it. We were really impressed at the thoughtful gesture and attentive staff and service. We will definitely be back! read more

Unfortunately my first review is bad review. First time I ordered Galbitang from 5 star Korean BBQ in Madison. It was my first experience Korean food in WI. But It was really disappointing! It was dlsgustting! One of short rib was spoiled, rotten. Even it is not short ri. I don't now what kind a bone is it! Tastes terrible. Never going there again. How do they even think it's okay to serve people food like that! The banchan was too small only 2 oz sauce container. read more

Hold on, I'm still noming on my delicious Dukbokki and kimchi pancake right now to type a full review but this is my second time here and everything I've gotten is oh so good and authentic. They do not skimp on the finely ground dried chili pepper here (gochugaru )! There are no pre portioned or premixed ingredients here, you can see the hardworking ajumma cooking your dish in their open kitchen right where you walk in. K brb read more

OMG TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! DON'T GO HERE How can you guys operate the restaurant like this? 1. We came here at 12:45pm, and get our food at 1:40pm. WE WAITED AN HOUR JUST TO EAT. 2. There were 3 teams that came later than us, but they all got foods first. I understand you guys are busy. But you should KEEP THE ORDER. JEEZ! 3. There were 2 servers, and they are very UNKIND. 4. We waited our foods an hour and they forgot one menu and even started to cook it. SO LIDICULUS. 5. I asked to-go box, and they NEVER gave me. Eventually I had to go to the kitchen to get that. Come here if you want to waste your time and money. read more

Please read this review if you're vegetarian: Given all the five star reviews that this restaurant has received, my boyfriend and I showed up with high hopes. However, the experience that we had here was akin to going home for the holidays...but in all the worst ways. We arrived around 6:30 pm and were warmly greeted and seated. It seemed like they were understaffed for the day, so we didn't mind the service itself. The one waitress in the restaurant truly was doing the best that she could to manage 7 tables, which varied from pairs to groups of 5. Of all the tables there, only two had their food, so we knew we were in for a wait. About fifteen minutes in, our waitress was able to free herself to take our order and drop by with water. I ordered a vegetarian dolsot bibimbap, and my boyfriend ordered the kimchi pancake and seafood soondubu jjigae. Here's where it starts going downhill. Another 30 minutes passed by before our waitress came by with side dishes, at which point, we saw another table get up and leave because they had been waiting to place their order for some 15 minutes to no avail. Tensions were clearly rising in the kitchen, as we heard yelling between our waitress and one (of two) cooks. At one point, the cook walked out of the kitchen, angrily glared at the other patrons waiting anxiously for their food, and went back to yelling at our waitress. Believe me when I say it was like being back home all over again and witnessing a divorce in the making. Around 7:20, our waitress brought out my dish (the vegetarian one), and I noticed that it had beef in it. I told her about the mix up, she hurriedly took the dish back, and more yelling ensued in the kitchen... When she brought it back out, it was clear that she had just removed the meat and artfully replaced the old ingredients on top. When I moved the vegetables to the side, the rice was still brown from the meat sauce, and specks of beef were still present. I really didn't want to complain, but I'd gotten sick from eating beef before (after some 25 years of vegetarianism...), so my boyfriend approached her and asked if they could replace the dish with one that didn't have beef mixed in already. Cue more kitchen yelling. After about 5 minutes, the cook personally approached our table and told me, quite bluntly and very loudly, "Miss, I won't serve you. Everything that I cook has beef broth in it. You say you'll get sick, so, yeah, *I'm not going to serve you.*" She then turned and walked away while I sat gaping behind her. The thing is... I completely understand that they were backed up on orders and were rushed for time, but the tone of voice and body language that she used genuinely made me feel like I was being chastised for /being a paying customer/ at their restaurant. Despite the fact that the initial mix-up was on their end and not mine, there was no apology; and when it was pointed out that they had simply recycled the dish right back to me, she got angry with *me*. What. Both the cook and waitress stood in the kitchen, arms crossed, as I glanced back and forth between them and my boyfriend, wondering what weird world I had stepped into. First off, didn't the menu have vegetarian icons next to /several/ dishes? Second, how was a miscommunication between the waitress and the cook (i.e., the wrong order) suddenly the reason why I was being yelled at in front of an entire restaurant? Honestly, I was beyond mortified at that point, and now that I look back on it, I'm wondering why I wasn't, instead, indignant over the way she'd spoken to me! If I wanted to be talked to that way, I'd go home to eat! After a few more moments of awkward staring, the cook called out from the kitchen that, -maybe-, there were other dishes I could order. I'd mentioned that I was vegetarian, so she offered several seafood dishes... Given the potential language barrier, okay, sure, I guess I could understand how "vegetarian" might translate to "no land meat"... However, I'm not so sure if, when a dish is incorrectly made (and the difference takes it from being vegetarian to NOT-vegetarian), it's acceptable to simply remove the beef, mix up the veggies, and call it fixed... So she brought over the menu to me and then pointed to three dishes I could have as a vegetarian--all of which were seafood-based. At this point, I asked her why I couldn't have the dishes that had VEGETARIAN marked beside it (and believe me, there were PLENTY of those). Again, she said that she used beef broth to cook all the veggies. I'm just so flabbergasted by this. Why mark dishes as vegetarian if they're cooked with beef broth?! So... My boyfriend, being such a great sport, asked if they'd cooked his dishes yet. It was 7:45 at this point (an hour and 15 minutes since we stepped in). They hadn't. *We* apologized for wasting *their* time and left. Long story short: The menu says vegetarian. It's not vegetarian. Also, it's cheaper to get yelled at, at home. read more

5 Star Korean BBQ - In their menu, the "V" icon denotes "available for vegetarians." The cook said that these dishes were all cooked with beef broth... - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I'm giving this place a 5 start rating because, I do believe it's as good as it gets for authentic Korean food in Madison. Having been to Korea several times to visit family I think I'm an ok judge in authenticity of flavor. The ambiance and decor of the place is okay. It used to be a BBQ place. Their menu has a lot of various korean BBQs. You don't get to cook them at tableside, that requires a more advanced setup and a better HVAC system. Another table ordered some and it did come out pretty quick and sizzling hot. They also have a variety of soups, lunch time specials, and appetizers. I ordered the Gam Ja Tang. Which is pork and potato soup and with various veggies. I enjoyed the flavor very much and it is a bit spicy but I like spicy. it was a massive bowl! We also got Dol sot bulgogi bi bim bap. I say if you're going to get bi bim bap its so worth it to pay a couple of dollars more to get it in the hot stone bowl. I love the way the heat crispens the rice at the bottom. We also got the seafood pancake which was tasty. Even really good as leftovers. The pancake is HUGE. At home we heated it up in a pan with some oil and it got it all nice and crispy on the outside again. The banchan here was good. The kimchi tasted almost perfect to me. Which is also why I choose to give this place a high rating. Good kimchi is a must for me since it is such a staple of Korean cuisine. The waitress stopped by to check us on periodically. Was attentive and really wanted feedback on what we thought of the food since they've been only open for 3 weeks. The cook came out and apologized for the appetizer (seafood pankcake) taking awhile since she had made one and didn't feel it was up to par so made a new one. I appreciate her honesty and commitment to delivering quality food. Most of the korean places around Madison are more fusion style and not authentic. There is one place on the west side that serves traditional Korean fare but I think the flavors at Five Star Korean BBQ are more on point. read more

For the first time in my life I've ever wanted to share my opinion on yelp so badly-They have AMAZING staff and service. Came in late night and got seated at the bar area. Waited quite a long time for the menu, and 20min for water. Then starts the tragic drama: There were lots of people waiting for food , and also seats. There were only three staff, which two ladies started to yell at each other. One began to slam all the dishes she could and using F words. They had wrong orders, and having food delivered to wrong tables. After a 1hr wait and seeing all this entertainment, we decided t follow other customers to "politely" say that if the kitchen hasn't started our order, we would like to cancel it and leave. After asking, the lady was waving her knife in the open kitchen with her language, and still yelling at other people. Wow. read more

This was the first time we tried this place because the Yep reviews were positive. We order 1 app and 2 dishes. I have to say we both agreed the food was too salty for our taste. However, the service was fast, which was nice. read more

Really good Korean food and were really nice about our young boys being young kids without getting upset or snarky. We lived in Korea for a year and it's not exactly like we remembered but still good. We had the sam gyup sal kimchi bokeum and the Bulgogi chicken (extra spicy) with yaki mandu. Ten Yakis were too much and I've never seen Bulgogi on a fajita plate but I thought it was a great idea! Would likely go back, especially between 2-4 when the other Korean restaurants are closed. read more

This place fills the hole that is missing in Madison's culinary landscape. They serve good and diverse Korean food in the campus/capital area. The location might make them overlooked by people, not to mention their facade is a old bar with minimal focal point. Pro: - Diverse menu offering - Generous portion - Serves Banchan () - assortment of side dishes serves as appetizers Con: - Limited staff (I did not experience this problem, but it might affect their service during busy hours) - Hours seems irregular (would recommend calling them before going there) My friend and I ordered: - Kimchi Pajeon (Kimchi pancake) -- the pancake is fluffy and the spiciness is just enough to make the food enjoyable. The kimchi in our portion was not strong enough, however. - Budae Jigae -- it has generous portion of carbs, protein, and vegetables. The broth has some spicy kick to it, which is great. Meat lovers please beware that this menu has more carbs than the proteins. They do include proteins such as tofu, spam, and bacon, but you might want to adjust your carnivorous expecation accordingly. - Jajangmyeon with seafood -- your classic black soybean paste noodles, but ten times better with seafood. They have crab and clam, which add a spin and add a great depth of flavor to the sauce. Please do not complain when you see the menu and see average price of $11 - $16 per dish. Their size is hearty, and it can worth 2 - 3 meals. There were only 3 people in the kitchen who juggles between prepping the food and servicing customers. I would advise people be more considerate and patient. We were actually amazed because they are really quick on their feet in serving us and constantly checking our needs. Best of all - they keep their smiles at all times. I am quite excited to try other dishes to this new addition in the Madison foodie community. read more

Great food and service. Nice variety of dishes and everything tasted amazing. Great location in the center of town

I think this is a 3 star restaurant, but I am going to give it a 4 because I personally think it is the only place in Madison to get decent Korean food - not Korean fusion or modernized Korean food. Just legitimately, typical food you would get from a Korean restaurant. I get jjajjangmyun cravings, and before I moved here, I could go to 10 different restaurants within 20 minutes away and fulfill those cravings, but not anymore! So trust me when I say, i take my jjajjangmyun seriously! This is the only place that i can find that has decent jjajjangmyun. It is so easy to mess this dish up, so I was really happy when I enjoyed the dish. Good portions, variety of vegetables, and they dont skimp out on the meat in this dish (lots of places do!) What sets apart Korean dining experience from other Asian experiences, is the banchan. Their banchan (side dishes) were medium. I had better and I've had worse. Decent variety, but banchan is eaten with rice, and here, You have to pay for the first bowl. Ive never eaten at a korean restaurant where they charge the first bowl of rice. I haven't had their bbq yet. But judging from rhe prices, seems like the usual korean bbq price. Their service has gotten a lot better since the last time I ate here, but let's be honest, who goes to an Asian restaurant expecting good service? If I don't leave feeling verbally abused, did I even experience authetic Asian food? In conclusion, I like this place. whenever I miss my mom's cooking and am lazy to cook Korean food for myself, I know this place will hit the spot. read more

5 Star Korean BBQ - Very good food:) - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I read the reviews but the food looked good and we decided to try it. It was a Friday and they are open to 10. We got there by 8:30 so we figured we had plenty of time. Greeting was nice but took a while to take a drink order. We asked for the table barbecue but were told they were out of meat. Really? On a Friday night? And then they had meat if you got a dish made in the kitchen. In hindsight it seems like they thought we would take too long. So we were finishing our sake at 9:38 and watching a close curling match between Japan and Korea. Suddenly the waiter came over and told us and another table they were closing and we would have to leave. No warning. Just get out. Then they promptly turned off the TV, at the end of the overtime round, and started turning off the lights. If it were closer to 10 I could better understand. But two tables left and a close match on TV and no heads up they wanted to close early. Food was very good, as was the service, but the manners of the managers were awful. read more

I stopped in for dinner with a friend who has had more Korean food than I. We shared two dishes and I was still able to take home some of mine. We had "cook in kitchen" options but there was a section that wasn't being seated that evening which had the grills built into the table. I had the Bi Bim Bob and I believe that my friend had the Sam Gyup Sal. We were both impressed with our dishes and pleased with the small traditional sides that are served with every meal. The waitress that evening was also the manager and she was happy to explain items on the menu and offer recommendations since we had shared that we hadn't been before and that I hadn't eaten very many types of Korean foods. The service was efficient, friendly, and informative and they were doing good business while we were there. There is a small parking lot but if it is full, plan ahead to park down the road somewhere in the neighborhood's side streets. I plan to head back as soon as I can manage it. read more

This place is great! But honestly, -every- Korean place in Madison is great. Great food, good service, mostly plentiful Banchan. My question, why so gosh-darn expensive? I visit the Toronto/GTA area enough that I can't justify Madison's +100% higher prices than Canada, especially considering the awesome exchange rate! I love you for being here Madison Korean places, but why is a $20 CAD meal for 2 $40 USD? read more

We came here on a reservation for around 15 people, ordered food ahead of time on the phone, then when the food came out, at least 3 dishes were wrong. Since they wouldn't take back the incorrect dishes, we just ended up eating and paying for them anyway, which is fine but then they refuse to let us pay our bill with one card. Our card wasn't even a credit card, it was a debit card. So, one of our friends had to drive all the way back to state street for an ATM to take cash out. It's outrageous that they flat out refuse to let us pay for our bill with a debit card just because our party was big. I've come here before with only 2 other people and we were able to pay with a card just perfectly fine. The service here is horrendous, and I'm never coming back here again even though the food isn't too bad. 5 star bbq? More like 1 star. read more

Overall, the food was great. The bul go ka chicken was very flavorful and a very big portion. The mackerel was a bit too fishy for me, but again- great portion size. I would love to go back soon and try one of the many soup items as well as the table top grilling. They also got pretty busy while we were there, and many patrons seemed to be regulars. That's always a great sign! read more

My boyfriend and I had our first date here. He loves it and was super excited to find a Korean spot that serves the real deal (he lived in Korea for 3 years and misses the food terribly). The staff are great, though some of them don't speak English fluently, so if that's a problem and you're gonna get huffy about it, stop looking for authentic food from other cultures and go back to Culver's. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but I think the food makes up for it. We always get the grill-your-own dinner (please don't ask me to say/spell it - I'm not there yet). The steak and pork belly are my favs. I'm anxious to come back and try the japchae (which is MY all-time favorite Korean, and now that Yelpers have spoken, will have to be my next meal here). Bathrooms are clean and there's a little private parking lot on the side (getting in and out can be a bit dicey if you're unfamiliar with the area, but it's worth it, I think). Let me know what you think - I'm always down to discuss Ko-foo! read more

Korean food experience starts with superb service. Here at 5 star, I give them less than 1 Star if I could. We were seated right away but after that nothing went right. It took them ages to take our order. They were busy and unorganized. I went with a party of six. They were taking orders for people who came much after us but we were left with a glass of water they start with. After taking our orders, it felt like ages till our food arrived. I actually had to mention to the lady that we had to wait for so long. Our waiter who claimed to be New didn't know what he was serving also. When our food came out, he just left it at the end of the table. When we asked him what it was, he says I don't know, I am New. We had to figure things ourselves. The lady who seem really busy herself later came to tell us what each one was. Once which was noted mild on the menu and we ordered mild were extremely spicy and once we ordered spicy were mild. When we mentioned that to the lady, she says this soup is never mild. -- I don't know why the heck they have that as an option on their menu. It's J-2 on their menu. We ordered 2 appetizer, 4 different soup dishes and one bulgogi. One of our appetizer didn't come till we actually had to ask what happened to the rice cake order??? Well... our waitress didn't even put the order in the kitchen. So after we had all almost finished eating- our appetizer came out. The lady was working really hard but I can't see her being able to handle all the customers by herself. The food wasn't at all impressive either. I have had much better Korean here in Madison. I think New Seoul is way better. If u plan to try this place, have a lot of patience. For me- it's my last time here for sure. read more

I was so excited to eat here because I found out they had hot-pot, that when I walked in, I seated myself and wasn't thinking. The owners & waitress didn't like that I sat myself, that they gave us our water late, menus thrown at us, utensils, plates and food late. Also, for the cherry on top, the CHEF (short old lady who hit me in the shoulder and laughed about it) poured in someone's eaten kimchi soup into my boyfriend and I's KIMCHI HOTPOT and said "she forgot to add kimchi". I get I was at fault for seating myself, but to give me someone else's old food? Literally, a big fuck you. Don't eat here! Also they charged my boyfriend 20% gratuity off a $30 meal. Fuck you! read more

I tried the Korean grill BBQ at this place, and the overall experience was pretty awful, if not disastrous. 1. extremely unhygienic: After several sips, I found that the water cup contained red pepper flakes. One of the food plates also had flours and some flakes on its surface. 2. terrible meat quality: The meat quality was awful. 3. very non-professional service: The server came to our table and suddenly started talking to us for about five minutes. When they saw we finished some of the side dishes, they said, "I guess you don't need more side dishes, right?" instead of "do you need more side dishes?". That was the hilarious moment. While we were still finishing the food, they suddenly dropped the bill without asking us whether we are going to eat more food or not. Well, this is the worst dining experience I ever had in Madison. I haven't tried the other cooked options, but I can assure you that their grill options deserve one star. read more

This "5 star" restaurant is getting one star from me because when I went there we got forgotten about completely by the waiters like we had ordered our food and when they told us that one of the food items we ordered wasn't available so they gave us the menu to order something else they never came back and we waited for an hour till we had to get up aave talk to the waiters. They only get the one star because they had kpop playing and they have us free corn dogs. read more

I enjoyed this place! Given the limited amount of korean BBQ options in the area, I'd say this is the best one (probably one of the only ones too...). The food I had was good.

Definitely should take a look in this direction and try out the food here. read more
