Their bibimbap, takoyaki and creme brulee were nice surprises. Their service was excellent as well.

Our waiter was Shawn; his enthusiasm and recommendations really made our time enjoyable. I ordered the ribs and fried chicken, and it did not disappoint. At first I thought the portions were on the smaller end, but the food is very filling and I could hardly finish it! I also had the boozy milkshakes and it was very tasty and strong. Overall, this place has the best service, great food, and a homey vibe! Definitely a must-visit in Ottawa.

It was our first-time trying it because the original restaurant we wanted to go to on Somerset was closed, but we were definitely not let down. They open at 11:30 on the weekend and we were a bit early but the staff was super friendly and accommodating- letting us sit down, browse the menu and even place our order before they "officially" opened. Out of all the dine-in korean restaurants we've tried so far in Ottawa (which I know is quite limited and most aren't authentic- but that's not to say they aren't good): Alirang, Maht, Daldongnae, etc. This is definitely top tier AND we will be coming back. As a small business, they are generous with their refillable complimentary side dishes (which is so yum), the flavour HITS, and the service is so good and welcoming. They kept checking in with us, turned down the volume to the TV that we were sitting under, and kept refilling our tea. inside the restaurant is also quite spacious and has comfortable seating arrangements. But we were sitting next to the AC which can be quite breezy!

The atmosphere is really neat, lots of local art on the walls which was pretty cool. We ordered drinks and brisket to share. I'd have ordered my own if I'd have known how small a portion the meat is. It's 3 slices of brisket, it was very very good don't get me wrong but the portion is really small compared to the sandwich. I didn't like the potato salad, but I'm fussy, it's more on the vinegary side which I wasn't expecting. My partner liked it, so I suppose it's a preference thing. The cornbread is 5/5! Overall it's not bad, just keep in mind the portions are on the smaller side but tasty. And the drink was perfect!

Did not know that it was located in Beyond the Pale, but I guess this is the area beside the brewery that serves food. The takeout portions are smaller, expect fries or salad orders to be a "side order" size at a restaurant. Although it was tasty, a $25 pulled pork sandwich with no sides and not much special going into the sandwich is a bit middle of the road. Would get it again, but more likely if other BBQ places were closed (as many are on a Monday night when I got it)

Wow! This is my new favourite restaurant. This restaurant…read morereminds me a tad of The Melting Pot in the states, where you cook at the table using fondue oil, cheese and choco. But this elevates that process and is Japanese, which is one of my favourite flavour profiles. The ambiance is so nice. There are screens between the tables so that you can cook and eat in private, which I really appreciated. Being new to the process and restaurant, I felt so fortunate to have Jarred as my server. He explained how everything worked and was so patient with me. Basically, you pay one price for all you can eat...and it's such a bargain! There are so many meats, sides and even desserts to choose from. Jarred helped me choose and was so patient explaining everything that had been marinated in soy sauce and was not gluten free. I was disappointed I couldn't have beef, so he told me he would grab some brisket without the marinade. I ended up ordering that brisket, shrimp and sausage for the meat. The sides were sweet potato in a brown sugary sauce, corn, pineapple, and rice. I can say that the sausage was my favourite, had a nice sweetness to it and different from the typical sausage you get elsewhere. You use the grill to cook everything which is so much more fun than just sitting and waiting for the food to arrive. Everything was so fresh and just tasted amazing. The grilled pineapple was divine! Jarred also suggested I order the Bibimbap. It was a dish with seaweed, veggies, and an egg on top. It tasted like an amazing sushi roll. I also had an UME pineapple drink. You can add an extra oz of alcohol for just $2. It was delicious. There are always staff around and they clear dishes you are finished with super fast. Everything moves there like a well-oiled machine. For dessert, I had this little creme brulee, which was just the right size not to overstuff your tummy. So amazing all warm and bubbly after it sat on the grill. One of the best I've ever had. While writing this review, I discovered there is a location relatively close to where I live in Waterloo. I will definitely be going. This isn't just an extraordinary dinner, it was an extraordinary experience. Perfect food, perfect service, and such a great value! This would be so fun for a date night or night out with friends. I will definitely frequent this restaurant, LOVE it! This location also has a parking lot, which is most welcome in Ottawa!

While eating, I found a piece of metal/steel wool in the chicken that was served to me. This is a serious safety issue, imagine if I have swallowed it. Then instead of addressing the situation properly, we were only offered 10% off, which doesn't reflect how serious this incident is. (Looks like really not) I even asked them how do they handled this situation, and they just said 10% off is the best they can do ‍ This is not just a small mistake, it's a food safety concern!!
