I have been craving Korean BBQ for a while now. I decided to reserve a spot at this location for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Korean BBQ is pricey anywhere you go, but this particular location has all types of meats. From seafood to marinated, and non-marinated meats, thick or thinly sliced, as well as Bulgogi beef, pork and chicken were part of the experience. The time limit is 2 hours and it starts as soon as the drink orders have been taken. Be careful to NOT eat with your eyes, because you will get charged extra for unfinished food items. Parties of 6 or more already include a gratuity fee. The BBQ plate used to cook meats does tend to get VERY dirty but the server will change it out, and add water as well. High chairs are also available for toddlers to join in on the experience. Meats can be chosen every round but only up to 4 meats. The meats come in a heaping pile with endless choices of sides. The best side in my opinion were the RICE CAKES. We even threw those on the hot plate to get them nice and roasted. They have an extensive choice of Korean non-alcoholic drinks, alcoholic drinks as well as a variety of Korean soft drinks. I was able to try out a common Korean Peach yogurt cocktail which was delicious. The downside was that there was only one bartender working through the dinner rush and complex cocktails. I ordered another round of the Peachy yogurt cocktail and had to leave without the drink being made. Since this location is within a shopping center, the parking situation is Great. Plenty of parking near the actual location. Wait times can be longer for parties without a reservation.

Unlimited appetizers. Rice Cake, Fried Dumpling & Bulgogi

We came here on a Sunday with a group of 10+. There was no wait to get seated (granted we did call ahead) which was amazing. They do not have loud music playing in the background, so conversations can be had quite easily. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to help. As with most AYCE BBQ spots now, it is recommended to order no more than 2 meats at a time to reduce leftovers (which - within reason- you DO have to pay extra for) My kids & I LOVED their pork bulgogi. We probably ordered more than 4 rounds of just that. The meats were all fairly fresh and well marinated. Their cheese corn (set on the grill to melt) was so sooo good. I can't believe I didn't take a photo of it. I look forward to going back.

If you haven't experienced this style of Korean Beef atmosphere- you need to! It is a little pricey at 38/head so go hungry and be prepared to not have any leftovers as you can't take home leftovers and if too much is left they will charge an up charge. In other words order a few things and then you can order more as needed. All the food was delicious! We don't have a picture of the fried dumplings but they were so good we ordered them 3x lol!! The Corn Cheese we weren't sure what to expect but was so good we had another round! The garlic in sesame oil really cooks up nicely and tastes so good! Our faves in the main items were the marinated pork butt / marinated Beef / marinated chicken - not faves of shrimp or squid, just ok. Pork Belly is good if you like that type of stuff - make sure you save it for last so it can really get crispy and it takes a bit for that to occur. If you love trying out non traditional great eats - give this place a try!

We decided to do another low-key, yet celebratory New Year's Eve dining closer to home...so this place came to mind again. Think we did NYE dining here last year too? The thing I hate about dining here is that they don't take reservations (not even a wait list any longer) for smaller parties...so you can only hope for the best when going here. :\ We drove out early, around 5:15 pm, so managed to get a table (though not the best!) without waiting...but the place was nearly packed already! This non-reservation/non-waiting list situation is what makes me dock a star from the get-go. I noticed that they didn't feature BTS, Blackpink, or other top K-Pop overhead this time...but rather, more of a rhythm 'n blues and/or loungy Korean music. Not sure if I liked it better, but the volume was good...and definitely added to the ambiance. They even added just a bit more decor (like these funky green beer trees?) to their otherwise very minimalistic chic, industrial vibe. Also, as expected, the A-Y-C-E KBBQ is now priced a bit higher...at $38 per person. Still, I felt that with the volume of meats and sides that we order, we always feel that we get our money's worth. Also, seems they added more flavors of the Mochi Ice Cream...which was perfect for topping off the hot 'n spicy meal. Again, we didn't like our seating area...with the smaller booth, and by the back door. However, given the number of bigger parties coming in for NYE, I didn't feel that we could have done much better...so Oh Well? Still, our waitress was pretty attentive throughout...and our foods were delivered rather quickly, surprisingly. Not the best KBBQ I've had, but pretty solid...especially for Charlotte. I thought their menu changed a bit though...with too much "Pork Belly" meats, which aren't my favorites. Still, they had the Beef Bulgogi, Prime Rib (though boneless verson) and the Squid...which I tend to go for. Guess the big disappointment is the lack of Galbi, possibly my favorite of the meats. Of all the sides that we tried, we thought their Fried Dumplings were stand-outs. So light and crispy! I also really like the laid-back vibe of this place over the more hustle-bustle Let's Meet chain...and of course, its convenient location, with easy parking. I actually prefer their sister chain, Iron Dish in North Charlotte...but a bit too far to drive out. Overall, this seems to be the local KBBQ we seem to lean towards...mostly due to convenience (location/parking). So YES, we're a fan...and we'll likely be back! In any case, it was a very good, hearty, A-Y-C-E Feast. Happy New Years!!

Service was great, hostess was frequently visiting the table. Food came out quickly and tasted great. A lot of options so we will definitely be back to try other meats.

We went for Friday dinner and no wait. They only take reservations for party of 7 or more. Each table get a laminated menu with a marker to mark meat and sides you want. The waitress bring your order with a clean menu for you to mark your next order. Overall the food was okay, some of the meat didn't have a lot of flavors.

I think I won't be coming back just because there are better alternatives to kbbq in Charlotte! It was $40 per person AYCE and I feel like the quality of the cuts of meat just wasn't worth it. The grill itself isn't great. It burns a lot quicker than other grills and the burnt remains doesn't get cleaned off completely even when they give you a "new one". I think I just didn't get a great vibe when I went in general. Overall, I think everything is just alright. Nothing amazing or new. I think it would help if they lowered their cost pp it may be better. It's not a bad establishment at all but I personally would go somewhere else that's worth it at the price point!

I'm in love with this place beside MOA.. I have never been good at cooking my own food sooo deal of this game is to find someone whose get annoy of how clueless I am. And just savagely take over. Works both time.. Their food seem freshly made. Like the kimchi, lettuces are nicely wash.. All the pickle products are good and nicely marinated. I love love their fried rice cake. Of course their fried goyzas. I ate soo much beef tongues, Kalbi and Bolgi each time that it was sitting at the throat. Their soju with yugurt was sooo good. And of course you have to try the lycees soju.. customer services are great.. both times they were there and on point.. This is my go too Korean bbq!

Although, there was a long wait. I can confidently say it was well worth it. But we used that time to familiarize ourselves with the menu. And the decor was really cool. When we finally got sat, we were starving! And we were quick to order our food. For times like this, I recommend the the thin beef brisket. It's cooks pretty fast! Make yourself a lettuce or radish wrap with the beef, top it with some kimchi, and wow! For extra spice, some gochujang. Definitely tames the hunger down! Beef bulgogi is a must for us. So when we saw they had chicken bulgogi, we had to try it. I have to say: WOW! It was delectable! For sides, I always go with corn cheese, kimchi/cucumber kimchi, lettuce wraps, and radish wrap. We had a such a great time here, I wished it was closer to us! But nonetheless, amazing and you must try it! 10/10 So delicious

If you enjoy the experience of cooking your food I'd recommend this place. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it is a fun experience. If you go in a group expect the table to be filled with plates. The service here is hands off since you're making the meal yourself but they are quick on clean up which I enjoy.

AYCE Korean BarBQ was on the menu. We had a great time here, and enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. I liked the fact that you could order your items on a card and the waiter would pick it up and bring the items requested. We had 2 hours to get the meat coming, cooking and eating. Great place! Service was good, and they kept the meat coming, no idle time at this table.

We had a fun experience at 704 Korean bbq. It was my first Time having Korean bbq in North Carolina, and it came pretty close to what I've had on the west coast. I recommend the non-marinated meats over the marinated. They're more tender off the pot and you taste more of the natural flavors of the meat. The brisket and the bulgogi the top two. So whatever you order, be sure to get those. With a metal back, the seats were a bit uncomfortable, especially if you're going to be stuffing yourself with Korean bbq. The atmosphere was interesting. Definitely being environmentally friendly, so no complaints about that. I'd say 704 Korean bbq is worth a try. Be sure to come with enough people, so you can try everyone on the menu and still finish the food at no extra charge.

I'm still craving the Blueberry Mojito, Prime Short Rib, and Garlic Pork Belly and you will be too! Dislikes: I have no dislikes for 704 Korean BBQ, it is reasonably priced and there's nothing not to love! Overall Rating: 4.7

After striking out at two other BBQ spots on a Saturday night, I landed at Mac's Speed Shop around…read more8:30 p.m. and ended up having a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Mac's sits in the heart of South End and shares the neighborhood with several busy bars and nightlife spots. Parking can be a bit of an adventure, but they do have dedicated lots nearby. Once you're there, the setup is great: a large dining room, plenty of picnic-table patio seating, and my favorite option--a seat at the outdoor bar where the inside bar opens through a service window to the patio. The bartender, Alyssa, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and patient while I stared at the giant menu trying to figure out what I wanted. When I asked for recommendations, she immediately suggested the burnt ends, BBQ baked beans, and Mexican street corn. Excellent call. The blackberry seasonal hard cider she recommended was delicious and paired beautifully with the meal. My only surprise was the price. At nearly $9, it was more than I expected for a cider, and I wish I had asked beforehand. The burnt ends arrived with bright pickled red onions that added the perfect acidic balance. The flavor was excellent--smoky, rich, and satisfying. That said, they leaned heavily toward the fatty side. The deeper I got into the serving, the more rendered fat I encountered compared to meat. Delicious? Yes. Light? Absolutely not. The BBQ baked beans were exactly what you want from a barbecue joint. The Mexican street corn was a standout and a refreshing contrast to all the richness. My only critique was that the burnt ends weren't served quite as hot as I would have liked, and by the end of the meal, the richness became overwhelming. That's probably more on me for ordering burnt ends at 9 p.m. than on Mac's. The final bill came to about $37 before tip, which felt a little steep for a solo barbecue dinner and cider. Looking back, I'd probably visit during lunch. Their weekday lunch specials around $10 look like one of the best values in South End. Would I come back? Absolutely. The service was warm, the recommendations were spot on, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food delivered exactly what a barbecue craving calls for. Next time, I'll arrive earlier, bring a bigger appetite, and maybe save the burnt ends for lunchtime. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. If you're exploring South End and craving barbecue, Mac's Speed Shop is worth a stop.

Rubbery chicken and tired tots…read more Half of the half chicken was amazing, and luckily it was the first part of the meal. It was truly tasty and the dry rub was perfect. Loved it! Then... the wheels fell off. Second chicken breast had clearly been sitting and cooking too long, and quickly became the dog's dinner. I probably got 2.5oz of good meat off that one, but truly a waste. And, c'mon, we don't have fresh tots coming at us? Mushier more than crunchier, and that was probably good as I shouldn't be eating those anyway. C'mon, Mac's ... you've got greatness in you! Bring it to life!

The brisket is divine Barria tacos can avoid the salt…read more Drunken Beans done well Sweet potato fries being offered A+ Actually all the sides being offered= Great options but I avoid those greens. The pot liquor on the collard greens is done right but they don't cook them down long enough, FOR ME, or offer a mix (e.g. add some turnip and/or mustard greens in there). The other meats are just okay but service+ brisket and packaging that helps make this long, out of the way trip worth it because I made it back to University area and everything remained hot. You can order online via Toast tab (I think) but I enjoy restaurants that go to known platforms so I don't have whip out a card and pay when it's already on file. P.S. those burnt ends are beef and they're super salty. I want to enjoy them with less sodium. We are aging now so I don't need to add to contributing factors for stroke and heart disease via salt because I'm not giving up on good Que and you'll get that here.

Before arriving in Charlotte, a friend said I had to try the local BBQ. Midwood came up as a…read morepopular recommendation on both Yelp, Google and Reddit and this location as the closest to my hotel. I made a reservation on OpenTable, arrived on time, and was seated immediately. The restaurant looks like a typical rustic BBQ focused family restaurant. I ordered the Carolina Pork with collard greens. My thoughts: - Carolina Pork was good. A small size was more than enough for me. Vinegar sauce really came through, almost a little too much. - Hush puppies were good. The only item that wasn't acidic, so it helped balance my meal. - Collard greens were also good. - Pickles were ok. By itself they were fine, but combined with the pork in vinegar sauce, it was too much acid for me overall. Service was pleasant and attentive. No issues. Overall, I was happy with my meal. It was generally good food and service. I'd just be more careful with picking my side so the entire dish was more balanced.
