Came here because I wanted to check out the Korean food in the area. Our praty of 3 did not opt for the AYCE bbq. When we arrived on a weekday for dinner, it was pretty empty so I would say no need to make reservations. The vibe is a no frills place. Oddly too quiet, they should've played some music or something. There were lots of people coming in and out for pick ups so perhaps that's what this place is known for. We ordered a variety of things. All in all, the food wasn't bad. They had a good variety of banchans. (Only allowed 1 refill of each though? Saddened my Korean heart). The stew we got was great. Maybe the prices were a bit high? All in all, I had a good experience. Not sure if I'd go back again (would be curious to try other Korean restaurants in the area) but I do commend their authentic dishes! read more

Over 20 min wait for food to arrive and the order was wrong, waitress or owner customer service a 3 out of 10. Sad, I expected much better

Edited: 15 min after leaving the restaurant, I'm holed up in a random grocery store bathroom, rethinking my life. My stomach is gurgling for round 2 for the toilet! I remember when this place used to be good. If I could rate this a 0 stars, that is what I would give it. Complete trash service. They changed their time limit from 2 hrs to 1 hr without informing us when we sat down. They cut us off after the hour from when we arrived, even though the menu says 1.5 hrs (See photos). When we told the server girl, she said it was the owner who is strict on the time limit and nothing she can do. In the amount of time, slow to bring our order (only got in 4 orders), but so quick to bring us two billing receipts (which was a duplicate). Got a 5th order after we complained about the time limit and slow service to bring us our next orders. She also say the cooks are the ones to prep the orders, so she had no control on how quick to bring them out. We were the only customer from when we started to when they cut us off at 1 hour (See video on Google Reviews*). The server was terrible and unprofessional. She was on the phone the whole time we were there and had it on speaker like no one was here. Eating at this place costed us $42 per person with an automatic 18% service fee. Definitely not worth the tip, the girl never once came by to ask if we were okay or needed anything. I was the one to always get her attention. She had a bad attitude and had the nerve to roll her eyes at me when I was nothing but nice when asking for things. If they refused to service we should be able to refuse to pay the automatic 18% gratutidy. P.S. This place used to be so busy, now look at it (See video on Google Review*)... that says a lot. Now both my wallet and stomach are empty. *Link to video: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yjJZH9GkVd5QG9aU6?g_st=ac read more

It's obviously been a long time since I've been here, but I had not realized that ownership had changed hands to a non-Korean team and that prices had been significantly raised and that the decor had been changed (not for the better). Sometimes when you want ethnic food, you don't need it to be up to the "standards" set by the concept restaurants that litter the United States. Perhaps those renovations had to be paid for with the higher prices. I had refused the $42/person buffet pricing only to choose a selection of items from the menu. I paid without grumbling, but on several occasions in the past when I would have ordered "too much" for my party the waitress would intervene and tell me to stop and that if my party was still hungry that we could always order more. No such help here. Mind you, we ate about 75% of everything (which is saying a lot!) and took home what we didn't finish, but it's just one more sign that this place isn't what it used to be, which was an attractive asset that someone wanted to buy. The problem is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I used to go here regularly when I lived in Kansas City and made the mistake of bringing my family here after a decade of not having been there. I will not make that mistake again and will be trying other Korean establishments in town. The waitress who took my order was not the same one who brought the food and waited on us and brought us takeout boxes. She was awesome. read more

I will never step my foot in this establishment again. I would give it zero star if I could. GO TO KPOT OR CHOSUN! Spend your money where it's worth it. We have been coming in for years. Twice a month! For the most part, we put up with the bad attitude from the owner because they have an item on their menu that we can't find anywhere else. We usually call in to see if the owner is there. She gives off very mean vibe when she is around. If you are NOT friend with the Owner or Korean, do not expect any sort of customer service. Tonight was the last straw for us. 20 minutes into AYCE, the owner came by and turned off our grill. We have a group of 4. But they only let us ordered 2 items at a time. And only brought out tiny portion for 2. The menu noted you have 90 minutes for AYCE. But tonight, they brought out the check an hour into our meal. I asked. They said the AYCE policy has changed. An hour to order and 30 minutes to finish eating. This was not explain to us. WE HAVE BEEN COMING FOR YEARS. The food came out extremely slow. The servers were too busy catering to the owner friends. We got 4 round of meats. No more Korean steamed egg due to egg price. Lessen eating time. Serve tiny meat portion. Brought out our bill with no last call notice. Imagine paying over $200 for AYCE and still walking out hungry? I asked to talk to the owner, but was told she is busy eating with her friends in the corner table. Poor servers did not want to interrupt the owner because her friends are more important than the restaurant guest. The owner is not very nice to her staff and her customers. DO NOT COME HERE!! read more

Way too slow for lunch nowadays. We used to go here when a group of us worked in Corporate Woods just off of College Blvd.

For how EXPENSIVE this place is, I expected way better. The service here was barely alright. The server we had was pleasant but the owners/management should have more than 1 server during the lunch rush. Most of the food was nice, but some of the portions were TINY. I wish there were more sauce options than the three that you are given. None of them are particularly spicy either which is a bit disappointing given that this is supposed to be a Korean restaurant. The highlight of the meal was #1, the Marinated Short Rib. I've been to much better Korean BBQ places, but none of them have had a Marinated Short Rib as good as Choga. Wouldn't recommend this place at all read more

Overall, the experience was okay since the food was good for the most part. The sides didn't look too appealing but tasted fine. The kimchi stew tasted like tomato soup with kimchi in it which wasn't that good. The meats and the cheesy corn were the highlight of today's lunch. Can't believe we almost got charged for four people when there's only three people in my group, and the waiter didn't show up to refill water or to check things very often. Also, it was dim in the inside. read more

I do not usually leave bad review. If I have bad experience, I just do not go there anymore. But for this place, I wanted to warn other people. I wish there were a zero-star option. We went there for lunch. The kalbi was good, but the rice was old and the bibimbap was spoiled--the mushrooms and vegetables had an off taste. I had a single bite. The server spent the whole time sitting in the last table on her phone. She never checked on us, refilled our water, or asked how the food was. Considering her age, we chose not to complain and just ate the kalbi, leaving a $5 tip. Later, I checked my account and saw I had been charged $8.18 instead of $5. At first, I was going to let it go, but then I noticed other reviews mentioning the restaurant charging extra tips. Many customers probably don't notice, and even if they do, most won't bother addressing it. I called to let her know this isn't right--it's not about the $3, it's about ethics. With that attitude, you're only losing customers. When I called, she was upset and told me, "It's only $3, come and get it." She did not even say sorry or explain how I got charged extra. I would understand and let it go if she just said it was a mistake. I'm not going to make a trip for $3, but I'll definitely never come back. No wonder the place was empty during the lunch rush. So, pay with cash if you are going to eat there. They will charge extra if you pay with card. read more

My husband and I lived in Korea for a couple of years, just popped in here for lunch and were blown away. From the cold, barley tea, Bibibop served in sizzling stone bowls, Pan Chan that came with the meal, to the menu, offering cooking your own meat at the table. The flavors of the various small dishes were perfect. The prices are fair, we have paid a lot more for a lot less. This is not Hawaiian, Chinese, or Japanese masquerading as Korean... If you want to know what Korean food really tastes like, this is your place. read more

Choga Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

The workers here are very slow. Food is very bad. Very expensive. There was hair in my food

Agreeing with others-apparently this place has been sold to a new owner, and it's no longer a pleasant dining experience. Walking in, it feels dirty and grimy and, surprisingly, also smells strongly of pine sol or some other artificial cleaning agent (you know the scent of strong, artificial cleaning agents in bathrooms in remote gas stations?) that overpowered the smell of our Korean food throughout the entire meal. One of our soups was cloyingly sweet, as if a massive amount of sugar had been dumped into the soup or bulgogi by a non-Korean cook who was having trouble following the recipe, and the Indian servers' English is very limited, making me wonder if they are being taken advantage of and underpaid by traff*ckers who direct them here for "employment" (underpaid service). (Our Indian server was lovely, by the way, just obviously a new immigrant with limited English and kind of sad/scared looking, which is what had me concerned, especially considering the shoddy surroundings, which reeked of the owner's carelessness.) An unpleasant dining experience is one thing, but leaving concerned for our servers' well-being is a much more disturbing thing. The banChan was fine. The whole establishment screams "I don't care, I'm just here to make money" from the new owners. My suggestions to the new owner : -Invest in the your employees and hire people who look like they are not being taken advantage of by you. Your customers will feel more comfortable patronizing this restaurant. -Invest in your environment: find out what other cleaning agents other Korean restaurants are using and switch to those. -Modernize the interior space and replace old furniture. -Train your cooks well (and with respect). -If you'd rather not do this, sell to someone who cares about creating a great dining experience for their customers. read more

When I first came to KC back in 2007, there were bascially three sitdowna Korean restaurants. Chosun on 127th and Metcalf, Sobahn (closed) and Choga on 105th. It was a sad scene, being from Toronto Canada, where there are more Korean restaurants on a single city block than in all of KC (even to this day) where my mother lived. Being of Korean heritage and have worked in Seoul for three years in my twenties, I am very aware of Korean food, The Korean scene has grown in KC to include more trendy foods like double fried chicken, korean style hot dogs and other street foods, but Choga and Chosun remain as the standard sit down Korean fare. When I'm with my Asian friends, they avoid this restaurant like the plague, much preferring the taste of Chosun, since we would mainly eat table BBQ 99% of the time, but as a lover of more traditional meals like stews, soups and rice dishes, I tried Choga because I find Chosun's non-BBQ to be fairly average. I got a stew called Gamja-Tang. Gamja means potato in Korean but it is not the star of the show (vegetables in stews rarely are for Koreans). The star of the show is the pork and in this instance, they use the neck bone pork. This is a hearty dish and often comes in oversized bowls that looks like there is a ton of meat, but then you realize much of it is bone. With a beer, tax and generous tip, I paid $30. The entree itself was $18. The gamja-tang here was great, it was spicy and had good flavor. The meat fell off the bones easily and the amount of vegetables were good. The problem was the portion. The bowl was small and the potato took a third of it, the amount of pork for the price was low. The sides dishes (called banchan) were pretty good though. For a Korean, it doesn't matter how nice the atmosphere is, unless you're a bougie place, we care about PORTION SIZE! The other thing was bothered me was the temperature in the restaurant with the owners either keeping the AC off or it was not working. It was during the heat dome weather and the temperature inside (I took a reading) was about 84 degrees. It reminded me of eating in small streetside stalls in Seoul during the hot summer nights when I worked in Korea. I would recommend Choga for their non-bbq (I haven't eaten their BBQ yet) but for me, the food to price ratio was not great, but again, if there are only 2-3 traditional Korean restaurants in KC, you can basically charge what you want. read more

Choga Korean Restaurant - Gamja Tang. - Korean Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

We came here as a group of 7 for a friend's birthday dinner. We were at a pottery painting place, and Choga was close by. We arrived around 4:15pm and were seated right away at a long table. 3 of us shared one grill, and 4 of us shared another grill. The AYCE bbq option is $32.99. This option includes different types of meat to grill, rice, banchan, and soup. You can order 3 different meats at a time, and everyone sharing a grill has to agree on which 3 meats to order. I think this can be a challenge if everyone wants different things. For example, I didn't eat pork, while another person didn't eat seafood. The drink selection is pretty limited; they offer a few different types of beer and soju. Drink prices are cheap. Service was just ok. We had to flag down a server to ask for water, napkins, refills, etc. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Choga. I might come back to try their other Korean dishes, but for AYCE KBBQ, I would probably make the drive to KPOT. It's about the same price and offers a wider variety of items. Plus, the service is better and you can order as many items as you want all at once. read more

Let the negative reviews show that the service is lacking, but don't let it keep you from coming here! Choga was understaffed before COVID, and it will likely always be understaffed, but the food reminds me of home, more than any other Korean restaurant in the KC metro, and that's what I'm here for. This place is great for side dishes and soups. The side dishes change with the chef's preference and can be a bit unconventional, but they still manage to pair well with the food. As for the soups and other dishes like the seafood pancake (haemul pajeon), most of the right elements are there and the portions are hearty. When it comes to the yookgaejang (spicy beef stew), there's plenty of shredded beef, noodles, and vegetables, and the haemul pajeon was beautifully crispy and totally loaded with filling. Both managed to hit the spot despite lacking a certain amount of finesse in the details. On the barbeque: The All You Can Eat (AYCE) bbq is a popular option, but you'll likely get more bang for your buck at Chosun, which is just down the road. Chosun doesn't have AYCE, but the individual plates come with significantly more meat and usually ends up being comparable in price if you're with a group of 4 or more. read more

Last time I went here the staff was rude and didn't really help us with. We waited a lot to order between meat serving.

Trying to get out to all the Korean restaurants here, and my friends and I decided to check it out on a cold icy night - it was the perfect mood to have some good soup. Yukgaejang is one of my favorite Korean soups so I definitely had to try it if a place ever offers it. My friend ordered Samgyetang, a soup I've always wanted to try myself! The serving size was BIG! My bowl of yukgaejang was so big and very filling for me. It was very solid. I don't have much reference in terms of samgyetang given I've never had it, but my friend and I also really enjoyed his bowl - a hearty and refreshing soup. We had a pretty big group that came, and they were able to quickly accomodate us and bring our food out pretty fast! Prices are on the higher end, but not a bad place to check out if you're in need of Korean food in the KC area. read more

Choga is always a dinner treat! My friend introduced me a few years ago and I have been coming back consistently. They do prefer to call ahead or make a reservation when doing All You Can Eat but I had not known this, but they accommodated for us even though there were close to closing time! The staff was very friendly and prompt to grab our orders. Any of the marinated meats are delicious, my favorites are #2 and #9. So much flavor without being too overpowering. Also don't forget to get a steamed egg, so fluffy you'll want more. read more

I love trying new things. However, I'm not new to Korean food. The service was average. Our waitress wasn't too pushy, but she wasn't too indifferent either. The Ambience felt like the backrooms to be honest, but it was storming outside so no one else was there. I say all that to say, the food was pretty mid. The Spicy Galbi was not spicy. It said the marinade was sweet-soy, but it was too sweet. You have to get used to the taste before you can really enjoy it The Kimchi is plain. Like really plain. Taste like it's just Cabbage and Gochugaru, that hasn't been fermenting long. Furthermore, the Kimchi Pancake I was served was too burnt, and only tasted good with the sauce it's served with. The good stuff is the Mandu and Gamjatang. Despite the mandu not having much flavor due to the lack of topping on the inside, I'd prefer that over the kimchi pancake. The gamjatang had a ton of flavor, I didn't have to fight the pork off the bone, and had the perfect amount of spice. read more

Customer service is not great I came in and they ignored me like they didn't need any customers. There are so many better Korean bbq go to KPOT if u want to eat good kbbq and better price read more

This was my first KBBQ in the Midwest and it was indicative of such. Kansas City isn't a hot spot for Korean people and while there are a few places to go, it's not like the areas heavily populated with Korean natives. Mediocre AYCE. The brisket was good and portions were decent. You can order 1 meat per person at the table at once, which is reasonable. The people working were friendly, but I had to take over tending to our grill because they weren't. You can only have one soup per table and we chose bean paste soup. Good broth in it. The "kimchi" was the crispy part of the cabbage head tossed in the marinade. Other bonchons were radishes, pickled cucumbers and squash, vinegar marinated white onions, and lettuce. You can't tip on the card, but if you don't have cash, don't worry: a "service charge" is added to the bill! We were a party of 2 adults and 1 7 year old. The service charge was very unexpected, but then again, so was the inability to tip on the card since it wasn't posted anywhere and there weren't any ATMs nearby. Overall I would go back if it was the wait for other places was over 90 minutes, but not because it was my first (or second) option. read more

Just ate here for lunch today. It opens at 11:30am and that's when we walked in. Waitress greeted us politely and seated us for the regular menu. They do have an all you can eat menu for about $30/premium meats about $39 (cook at your own table.) Reservations are highly recommended for All You Can Eat. Since we didn't want to cook ourselves, we opted for the regular menu. Regular menu is about $17 and up for an entree. It comes with delicious sides. The sides vary every time we visit. They do give you free refills for the sides. You can get complimentary corn tea served hot or cold. It's refreshing. Anything you order here is delicious! Our favorites are the jaeyuk bogum & the bulgogi. You get a pretty good amount of meats that comes in the sizzling skillets. Don't forget to ask for some dipping sauce. We frequent Choga a lot. This is one of the best Korean bbq in Kansas City area hands down. Just a reminder, everywhere is understaff. Please be understanding, patient, and kind. If you are new and have questions, just ask. They are very nice here. You gotta understand that when they bring out your dishes, it's not just one or two dishes.. it's over 10 dishes at once. We tip over 20% even when service is slow. Be nice, people. read more

This place used to be the best for Korean in town before they changed to all you can eat a few years back and now it's definitely not in the top five. We did the bbq, which is only all you can eat. I don't have a problem with their price increase, but I do have an issue with how little you can get at a time. There was two of us and we could only pick one meat for each person each time and the portion sizes were VERY small. It was literally only a few bites per person and we had to order more only five minutes later. They were severely understaffed and the owner working the dining room kept coming by and turning our heat down to where it made it very difficult to sear the meat. I think she was trying to make it take longer to cook, so we would not eat very much meat? I had my 18 year old son with me and that wasn't going to happen. The banchan is different for the bbq and the sides are definitely better if you just order from the traditional menu. Sorry, but no pics because my son was starving and the portions were too small to make him wait to throw it on the grill while I took pics. When the bill came it had an 18% gratuity "service charge" and it still showed boxes for a full gratuity to check mark below it. Uhhh......no. I feel that's a little deceiving and ridiculous to expect a 36% tip or more??? I typically do at least 20%, but not when they pre charge it to the bill for two people. Later gaters. Not coming back. read more

Choga Korean Restaurant - Bad service - Korean Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Atmosphere: a bit awkward because there was no music playing, and you can hear everyone's conversations. Food: we did the AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat) bbq for $26.95. We got the beef brisket, pork belly, and thin beef short ribs! The meat was good! Unfortunately, they're not truly an AYCE kbbq because they charge $1.00 for an extra bowl of rice. Seriously, a bowl of rice for $1.00?!? Also, drinks are NOT included. Soup was limited to just one soup. The waitress only gave us 2 because she said she'll allow it since we asked for 2 and because we had 5 people. The soup choice was either a kimchi soup or denjang (bean soup). The kimchi soup tasted like marinara sauce. The denjang soup was okay, shrimp was included in it. The steam egg and corn cheese is included. Service: only two servers for Sunday lunch. There were about 10 tables and the service was slow and forgetful. When we sat down, we were not given menus, I went up to ask for a menu while we waited at our table to get asked for drinks. The tongs that were given for grilling were really DIRTY and RUSTY, so I had to ask for clean tongs. BEWARE! Gratuity is automatically added, no matter how big your party is. Tip: if you check in on Yelp, you get a free drink! Show the server for confirmation. read more

Maybe I am from California and my expectations for food is generally high, but this place is not that good. The meat is mediocre, there's almost to no banchan. And it takes them over 30 mins to give me more meats. Asked them for a separate menu and they said I could only order from ayce menu. Overall not good but the service made it bad. Probably not going here again, didn't like my experience here read more

Good for AYCE with a a decent amount of sides, including cheesy corn, banchan, a soup to share and one bowl of rice per person. The servers are very hands off, which is great if you've done KBBQ before and know what you are doing, but if you are new to KBBQ, then you may need to ask for some help. Be aware that you may need to call in for a reservation if you do AYCE. The website didn't mention this but the server said we needed one when we arrived. Thankfully, the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were able to find a seat. I would have given this a 4 for quality of the food in comparison to price. but a star was knocked off since our fire kept on going out, service was a little slow sometimes even though the restaurant wasn't packed and our grill was never changed, which most KBBQ restaurants do. Would definitely come back to try it again, though. read more

Never knew it would be so hard to find a good Korean restaurant here in the KCMO area. While this place doesn't quite satisfy the SoCal, K-town foodie in me, I can't help but say it's one of the best you'll find in town. Service is pretty poor, but the food is worth it! Trust me! Their banchan (side dishes) are pretty legit and you can ask for refills! My recommendations: - Wooguhji Galbitang - Galbitang - Ddeukbaegi Bulgogi - Yukgaejang (warning it's ) Can't wait to go back and try the other things on their menu! read more

We did the all you can eat Korean BBQ; spicy squid, spicy pork, thinly sliced pork & thinly slice ribeye. We both tried the complimentary steamed egg, cheesy corn, and kimchi soup, along with the 7 small sides. The kimchi was my all time fav! We enjoyed the steak & squid. We were out of our element & felt overwhelmed from the lack of instruction from our server. That was the only let down, which put a damper on the night. read more

Popped by for lunch today, to fulfill my K food craving. The LA kalbi lunchbox is my go-to, and my kids usually get the bulgogi. Today, we tried the chicken bulgogi, which I wouldn't recommend. It was bland chicken with a ginger sauce. But the lunchbox portions are a decent size, service is efficient if you need to get in and out. I like their kimchi, which I believe is made from white cabbage. It's crunchy with a bite, and pretty tangy. Sometimes the beef tends to be oily and a lot of fatty pieces, but the flavor is really good. If you want a Korean lunchbox in a no-nonsense environment, with decent options, this place is a great spot. read more

They are lucky that this is the only KBBQ ayce option here in KC, MO. Holy, what a disgrace of a restaurant. Right off the bat, as soon as we started ordering, we heard another table arguing with the staff. I thought maybe they had a misunderstanding but I heard the staff replying very rudely and there were yellow lights in my head by that time already. Portions were small and I don't mind because I also don't like wasted food but the orders took way too long to arrive. One time, I got up to order cuz ours wasn't fulfilled for a long while and I was told sternly to sit back down and they'll be there (dafaq?)! 1hr and 15 mins in, we were told it'll be our last order so we tried to place 3 options as indicated, the korean lady told us "No! You can only get one". I didn't want to sour the good time I was having with my friends so I just let it go. If you have been to ANY restaurant, and I'm not even saying it has to be decent, you'd have had better service. Period. Meat quality was actually decent. Nothing above average but definitely not lacking. The service, though, leaves A LOT to be desired. read more

SCAM ALERT!!!!! I never wrote any food review before but hear me out... I understand the restaurant is understaffed but how do you even want to eat here when the server makes you feel like you're nothing? I guess you have a long day of work but at least be nice to your customers when we didn't even complain, smile back and tried to order slower to give you time. * When I told the server that my party wanted the ayce option, the server gave me the look like she didn't want to serve at all - an annoyed face. ** This was the first time ever I had to use coke to clean the grill for another round of cooking. I asked the server to change the grill and she just said "still good for another round" without looking at us while walking away??? The meat was already burnt and "still good for another round"??? It's just ridiculous. *** It takes the longest time for the server to bring out the meat. She even ignored our table to the point we had to ask the guy, cleaner or idk but he's super nice and responsive, to take our order. He had to remind the server twice to bring out the meat when she just stood still and drank water knowing we were already waiting. NEVER again... read more

After a long time, we decided to give this place a second chance. Nothing changed and even getting worsen. Slow service as expected, the food quality was average. Most importantly, the waitress just ignored most of customers' requests all the time. What is the purpose of doing all you can eat while you do not want to let customers have enough portion? read more

My friends and I have sat here for almost 30mins. No servers taking our orders. Another group came in after us, have already been served. More group of people came in and had their orders taken right away. On top of that, the automatic 18% of gratuity was unjustified. Especially for their crap service. That's $100 tip from a party of 4! I'm never coming here again, nor am I ever going to recommend this place to anyone I know. read more

I think this joint has a nice little Scam going on. It's advertised all you can eat, but it's really not. They limit what you can order at one time, the potions brought to the table once you're able to order are very very small and we spent more time waiting for the waitress to come back than we did actually cooking and eating. And to top it off, they decide when you are done. It's advertised as 90 minutes, but at just over an hour and barely had eaten anything, she brought our ticket, shut off our grill and wished us a happy day. All this for 70 bucks, party of two. Do yourself a favor and don't give this place your money. read more

Coming from Hawaii where all you can eat Korean BBQ is plentiful, I was overjoyed to see one in Kansas. Drove a couple of hours out to try it. We got the $34.95 Premium All You Can Eat, the extra cost giving us access to the ribeye steak and short rib. One of the first thing I noticed is that even with a small party of 2 like ours, an 18% gratuity is added. I'm used to seeing that for larger parties, but never for just two people. This charge is mandatory at this restaurant for AYCE. I figured for the mandatory cost the service would be very on point or there would at least be the offer of the server cooking for us which a lot of other AYCE places have as an option, but there was none and the service was just ok. Nothing that I saw that would justify a forced gratuity. It is just principle though, as the standard tip at least in my head, is usually higher. The quality of the meat was good. I was a bit scared when they brought out a huge slab of prime rib, but it cooked well and wasn't still frozen as I have found at other KBBQ places that are less prepared. The portions were always more than enough, sometimes too much. We had to ask for half portions at the end. The restaurant got very busy toward 8pm and it certainly seemed like the place to be. Aside from the odd forced gratuity, it was a tasty dinner and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

The service is honestly subpar. Don't come here expecting phenomenal service however, with that being said, the food is satisfying. The meats for the lunch combos are higher quality (especially the kalbi), AYCE is decent but the competitors have better quality, the sides are what I consider the best part of any kbbq. Overall, temper down any service expectations and just enjoy the experience. Will be back! read more

Excellent family run restaurant. The owner/chef prepares delicious, authentic Korean. I had seafood bibimbap, served with abundant side dishes. Her friendly nephew runs the front of the house. A real find. Highly recommend. read more

When we walked into the restaurant we could tell it was understaffed which is okay. The waiter seated us and then walked away for 5 minutes. When he came back and asked if we were ready to order we said we wanted to do the AYCE option and he said "you should've told me that" and moved us to a different table. This was our first time here so we had no idea we needed to mention anything and the waiter should've asked us in the beginning instead of just assuming. Then when he asked if we were ready to order I was in the middle of speaking when he suddenly just walked away to answer the phone without excusing himself or apologizing. He did not come to check in on us often and was not pleasant. Food tasted decent though. read more
