I ordered a side of fried rice, which is supposed to come with peas and carrots, but there were maybe 2 or 3 peas in the whole dish. The rice leaned on the gummy and sweet side, and it tasted very processed. The yum yum sauce was only .75¢ so I can't complain, but they did not fill it as much as I would've liked. The chicken egg roll was pretty good, but the sweet and sour sauce was very liquidy and I like it with a little more thickness. They only have pepsi products, so plan ahead. They were out of diet pepsi when I came. Not their fault, but it would've been nice to have it. I came during their specials hour so my drink was only .99¢, so I can't complain too much. Wasn't the best experience I've had, but not enough to dock more than two stars. I can at least say I've tried this place.

Both nights we had the same waiter Ethan, and he was hands down one of the best we've ever had. Extremely professional, attentive without hovering, and he made everything feel effortless. Service like that elevates the entire experience. On our last night, we each ordered a steak, and it was honestly one of the best meals we've had in weeks. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and exactly what you hope for when you order a great steak. Everything about this place works -- the décor, the crowd, the energy in the room. The lighting was perfectly dimmed, creating that ideal balance of lively but intimate. It's easily one of the best places we've eaten since being in Tuscaloosa, and clearly good enough that we had to go back twice. Highly recommend.

Filled with what I'd describe as a trendy crowd; casual but on the high end. The service was good; our waitress was charming and attentive but for whatever strange reason, they kept taking our utensils and when a different staffer would bring the next course, they'd neglect to bring utensils... this happened twice! Pure torture looking at bread pudding without the means to eat it! Which brings me to the food... it was just decent for the price, I would have expected more. I had the ribeye which was perfectly cooked but still just meh; kinda thin and not very flavorful. The wife had the sushi and it was good, but again, for the prices in this place, I would have expected a little better food. Definitely recommend the bread pudding though... bring your own spoons if you're the impatient type!

I've been in Tuscaloosa for four years now and I've been dreaming about a place like this. I came…read morein for lunch yesterday and it surpassed even my highest hopes regarding a Korean BBQ spot here in town. I should say I didn't get the Hot Pot, only the BBQ, so my review only covers that. In terms of price, the lunch all-you-can-eat is $20.99 which is steep for a lunch, but this is a lunch for when you're so hungry you're not sure you can remember a time when you weren't hungry. And, honestly, if you get an entree at a local quick-food sit down restaurant with a drink and a side dish or appetizer, it will come out to be this much as well, and this is much, much better. Some highlights: The waitstaff was highly attentive and kind during my stay. The server who was helping checked on me often and showed me how their system works. You have two hours to eat and you can order anything you want via the server or their electronic system. When I did order more meats they arrived within a couple of minutes, though they request you give them at least 10 minutes when it's busier. In terms of the meats, I highly recommend the spicy chicken, spicy pork, and garlic shrimp. The beef bulgogi was also good. There are some items you can't get unless you're paying for the dinner version. I wasn't super dedicated to any of these items but if you want short ribs, a Korean BBQ staple, they are only available with the dinner version. I will probably come for dinner at some point to see how their shortribs are. One of the greatest assets of this place is an all-you-can-eat condiments and side dishes bar. You really can fill your plate up with kimchi, daikon raddish, cucumber kimchi, and bean sprouts. It's like an infinte ban chan and it's everything I've been dreaming about. Also, there's a hefty number of sauces available there, as well as fried shrimp and wings, should you desire. For the sauces, I recommend the sweet and spicy, the peanut sauce, and the house KPOT sauce. All really different and really great for dipping your freshly grilled items into. My server replaced my grill when it started to get sticky and, again, everyone was very attentive to keeping my experience excellent. My only small critique was that the veggies (also all-you-can-eat) were a little underwhelming in terms of the cuts/quality. Definitely not a deal-breaker by any means, but if you're coming in hoping veggies might be the lion's share of your meal, they lagged behind the meats. Though they did have enoki mushrooms, which were great. Finally, they bring a beautifully sticky bowl of rice to eat your meal on and they're willing to replenish that whenever you'd like. Awesome! I honestly can't recommend this place enough. It's a fun experience to sit with friends, talk, drink, and do a little grilling. Everything shares well (each diner pays the all-you-can-eat price, just to note), and the ban chan and meat marinades were genuinely good. Big city quality, I would wager, given the number of Korean BBQ places I've frequented across the country. This is a place I would drive to Atlanta to eat at, if that equivocation makes any sense as a recommendation. And, if you're in the greater Tuscaloosa area, it's so much closer than that. Hope to see people there, as I 100% will be back.

I have to say that I really enjoyed myself here I was in heaven we splurged a bit and got both the hot pot and Korean bbq. We ended up nearly try a little bit of everything. You could go up to a buffet table and get whatever you want as much as you want from appetizer type food and they even had all types of sauces to chose from. At your table they give you a table to order all your hotpot and bbq items. Needless to say we took advantage of this ordering our broths and all the meat we possibly could order. I highly recommend checking this place out. Get you a group of people and just go and enjoy yourself. For a chain hotpot place this wasn't too bad and I'll definitely go again.

It is a super large cafeteria with many, many options for food, and I paid around $8 for my entry (around 11:30 am).

Also, super cool-looking drink machines? Lots of options for beverages. - SO MANY seats and tables. There are wall outlets, but none are connected to the main tables. The actual seating area is kind of dim- you can see, well, but it is not like fluorescent lighting by any means. In that way, it's got a cozier-than-expected vibe, even though it is very crowded. - The food I got was from "Yoshoku"-- the Japanese stir-fry option.
