    Excellent Korean BBQ. Had the spicy bulgogi, garlic beef, pork belly and curry chicken. All you can eat comes also with mushrooms, onions, and Bandhan. Satisfies the crave l!

    I personally love the soups and the bibimbap, my favorites are the kimchi stew and the seafood bibimbap. I have tried out the AYCE but it's not my favorite but still nice to try if you haven't. There has been a few times when I've gotten the wrong order but it was cleared up quickly and I was not charged for it.

    Ok, this review is mostly my husband's opinion as he lived in Seoul for a few years and feels very strong about how Korean BBQ should be. As we entered, it was quiet with only a few customers in the restaurant. We were greeted and seated pretty quickly which was good. Once we got seated, I realized the floor was really slippery due to grease or something like that, and it was in the back of my head throughout the entire dinner. We looked at the menu and decided to do AYCE deluxe BBQ since it came with seafood options. Then we realized if we wanted the radish and lettuce wraps, you had to pay extra for it. This was off putting because those items are usually free and plentiful at mom and pop Korean BBQ places. Then we realized that K-Town did not offer doenjang chigae (fermented soybean stew) or gye-ran chim (steamed egg). The server said they stopped serving the steamed egg dishes because eggs were expensive. By then my hubby already showed signs of displeasure, but I was hoping the food would win him over...? When it was time to order the meats, that's when he really got annoyed. We were told we had to order 4 plates in one setting, which was really puzzling because what if we only want 2 plates for now? Also you had to order one of each type of meat so the many options on the menu presented more of an illusion of choice. From his experience, Korean BBQ is supposed to be communal and fun. The table should be full of side dishes and the meat is really just part of the experience, not the star of the show. By having so many rules and by being stingy with vegetables and side dishes, K-Town feels like a chore and sucks the fun out of having Korean BBQ. Since he didn't enjoyed the dining experience, needless to say I didn't enjoyed it either. Regretfully we didn't have a blast at K town BBQ, but I do hope other customers would have better experience than we did.

    K-Town is truly just OK. Service made up for the food. If you choose AYCE, the entire party must participate. There is plenty of meat options, but the quality leaves much to be desired. It's a fun experience with friends, but with the price and quality I'd rather DIY at home. With each round of orders, you have to order 4 different meats, no doubling options. The banchan was lacking and mediocre. If you are a quantity over quality type person, this is the place for you. But I was not impressed, nor would I pay nearly the $40 to come here again. You can get much better Korean BBQ-style meats at restaurants or just get the marinated meats from H-Mart and cook them at home. Service was friendly and attentive - although some reviews read differently. We didn't have an issue ordering our subsequent rounds, and we also had our grill changed 3x. Fun experience with friends, but it was truly for the vibes not the food.

    This was our first time trying this place. It was my son's birthday so he wanted to try something new. All of your party needs to be present to be seated. The table that we were seated at had dried food on the edge of the grill and the table was sticky. The food is brought out in shifts after you have finished the prior round. The quantity is super small portions, I'm talking a bite or two each of meat or seafood. We tried calamari, shrimp, scallops and octopus along with a variety of different meats. The seasoning is very minimal with a salted sesame oil and a Ponzu. Everything is served with white rice and a bunch of little things to try. The potato salad was everyone's fave! Solid 3.5 Everyone had a good time and left full!

    This is for a Sunday night visit around 5:30pm. There was a short wait when we arrived, as they needed time to set our table. There were plenty of available spots when we arrived. A large man greeted us at the door with disdain and then sat us at our table without menus! He was quite rude and acted as if it was a lot to ask him to do his job. However, our waitress Darcy (I think was her name) was very quick, friendly and polite and gave us excellent service. It seemed like she was having to cover the entire restaurant by herself for order taking, drinks, and serving of the food. Our drinks took a very long time to arrive at our table as she indicated that the large rude man that greeted us, was supposed to get them. As soon as she realized we didn't have them, she immediately walked to the bar and began making them for us. We always do the 34.99 all you can eat and select the beef ribs, teriyaki chicken and a few varieties of the bulgolgi with a side of lettuce to make little "tacos" with the meat, rice, and sweet dipping liquid. Their soju peach cocktail is fantastic. Highly recommend. Once we were nearing the end of our meal, every table was just about filled and there was a line of multiple groups waiting at the door. There is a parking lot out front but it will fill up completely when they are busy. They definitely need to put that grumpy man in the back or tell him to take a hike and/or staff more employees.

    Excellent Korean BBQ. The service was great. Meat was excellent quality and loved the sides. Drinks are creative and delicious. Highly recommend checking them out. Standouts were the garlic beef, spicy bulgogi, and the kalbi. Don't miss the pineapple too. Chicken was just ok.

    I've come here quite a few times and up until this last time I've never had any complaints. It wasn't particularly busy, we came Sunday evening around 6:30 or so, got seated right away. They were attentive and quick in getting our initial order and drinks. They have a water pitcher already to go when you sit down which I still love, I wish this was more common. For some reason, our server never checked in, he swung by and grabbed our empty side dishes... Didn't bring us more, so we had to get their attention and ask for more. I thought it was weird they didn't ask to begin with, but then it took them a long time to come back with our side refills. They don't give you a ton of meat, which I prefer, feels like it gives us more chances to order different meats. Unfortunately, our waiter brought the side dishes, took our empty meat tray and left without asking if we were ready to order more. A random waitress walking by after our grill was empty had to ask if we wanted a grill change and while she was doing that our waiter came back over to take our second order of meats. I can't tell if the slow service is to make people fill up faster and eat less or if they were just not doing their best that night. It was frustrating feeling like we had to search for our waiter for simple requests. That being said, everything was delicious, the drinks were super sweet and the sour jelly was a great addition. The place was clean, music was at a good volume and we enjoyed the experience. Hopefully it's quicker service next time!

    Luckily we came on a Sunday when they just opened so we were seated right away even with a group of 8 people, but it did get much busier when we were leaving. The banchans were simple but the potato salad was probably the best of them all! My group did the $35 All You Can Eat option which I thought was worth it for the amount of food you get but highly recommend going with people who can eat their money's worth! You order 4 meats at time but it has to be different? But I wasn't sure if that was only for the first round or for all the rounds so that was a little confusing. Overall I would recommend the LA Galbi for sure, it was seasoned really well. The chadol (thinly sliced beef brisket) is a KBBQ classic and our other favorites were the spicy bulgogi and the miso pork belly. Service was quick and they did change our grill one time but after they got busier they didn't really come back. I had to flag someone down for the salad so we didn't get that until the third round of meat which was unfortunate. But it was refreshing and much needed in between the rounds of heavy meats. I'd say this place is good for the value but nothing stands out or too special. A great place to go for your KBBQ craving!

    I've loved everything I have tried, food or drink. The spicy bulgogi is delicious. Everytime I have done the bbq it yourself style. We do the order four option. All of the tiny sides and kimchi are yummy. It's a lot of food and it's safe to have at least 3 people! Fun for big groups. I'd say weekends are probably the busiest and generally a 15-20 minute wait. But worth it! Service is upbeat and fast paced.

    How much is all you can eat during lunches on Saturday?

    Hi there, AYCE during lunch is $23.99 daily and $11.99 for kids 4-8 years old :)

    Are kids the same price as adults?

    Hi Bonita, kids do eat at a different price than adults. Currently, we are priced at $34.99 for our regular AYCE for adults, and kids are priced at $17.50.

IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ.

Why are they serving food on a plastic tray with a piece of waxed paper? Why am I paying $70 for two people to eat lunch, and they can't even give us plates?

C'mon - do better. Staff was friendly & was willing to turn down the music. I don't see how this place could possibly be wheelchair accessible.

I ordered the Half and Half Korean Fried Chicken which came with Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy. The chicken was very crispy, had a nice crunch, while still maintaining its juiciness. The crunchy coating almost acted as a heat retention shielding as the chicken was hot throughout almost the entire time I was eating. The Soy Garlic wasn't overly powerful with either of its flavors which was nice for a change and made it enjoyable to eat. The Sweet & Spicy was absolutely delicious and I wish I ordered more. It was perfectly balanced and addictive to eat. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.
