    Kbbq was great, staff was always present asking if we needed any assistance or anything else to make our time more enjoyable. It was great to be able to do things ourself, and there were a variety of quality food that I could pick from. I would say that no longer having AYCE is a minus, as it is more expensive, but still worth checking out. Good place to go with a small group of people.

    La Galbi
    Lisa K.

    Order the jumulleok and thank me later! We tried the LA galbi and the hanjeongsal too but the jumulleok was my fave with the slightly sweet marinated flavor dipped in the salty sesame oil sauce - chef's kiss. We also ordered the steamed egg side and the mul naengmyeon. Both solid. I wish the naengmyeon had more(?) slices of Korean pear (question mark bc we shared the bowl so I don't know if it just didn't make it into my portion) but perhaps it's due to the fact that Korean pear is not in season atm (maybe more late summer). Also the beef slices that came in the naengmyun were a little dry and hard to eat by the time I got to it the end and I wonder if that's just the result of the broth being icy cold. Next time I shall eat it faster I wish they provided lettuce but we did get onions and some thinly sliced radish. Good variety of banchan and they refill! Will definitely be coming back to satisfy all my kbbq cravings!

    I've been here a few times over the last couple of years with my family. I've done the kbbq grill and just dined in. The Farmer's Feast is a great kbbq choice for feeding 6 adults and includes a soup and steamed egg. The japchae is very yummy and the corn cheese was my favorite. They refill your banchan at least once (not sure if it's unlimited). I really enjoyed how they provided the pickled radish to have with the kbbq. There's plenty of space inside for large and small parties.

    Goldilocks and the Three Bears
    Samuel H.

    We had a pretty good experience overall, possibly helped by the fact that we're Korean and spoke Korean with the staff (a little bias, haha!). We ordered the Goldilocks set for five people, and it was a solid choice. It came with kimchi jjigae and steamed egg, both of which were tasty and complemented the meal well. Portion-wise, it felt satisfying, though I usually eat quite a bit, I think helping to cook the meat made it feel like the food settled faster. One small hiccup was that our table didn't get any lettuce, which we usually enjoy with KBBQ. At first, we assumed they just didn't offer it, but later we saw another table get some, so it seems like it was just forgotten. Not a big deal, but it would've made the meal feel more complete. Price-wise, it's a bit more expensive than doing KBBQ at home, but considering the service and convenience, it felt reasonable.

    Chef's Flight - Goldilocks and The Three Bears
    Charlie T.

    We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I didn't realize that they had an updated simplified menu for groups. It did make ordering easier. We ordered one of the chef's flight - Goldilocks and The Three Bears along with some other meats and sides. Even though the place is ala carte, their quality of meat is worth it. Its a good place to go to with a small group of friends.

    Egg Souffle & Banchan
    Mia H.

    I came here one evening for dinner and had a great time. I've only ever been to the Kkoki location on 82nd in Portland, so it was nice to try this spot out. Coming here, I didn't want KBBQ, so I just got their al carte entree dishes. Service here was really fast and they were kind. The ambiance was pretty quiet when I went and everything was made of wood--a very nice Korean feel to the restaurant. I ordered an egg souffle, beef noodle soup, and bibimbap when I went. First, the banchan came out and it was all pretty good. I appreciated that they gave a lot of different kinds of kimchi out, but I wish there was more variety. The egg souffle pleasantly surprised me when it came out with carrots and green onion. It look delicious, and I don't think I've seen another place where their egg souffle was so big and had more than just green onion. Both entrees were delicious and a good portion. I would love to come back to this spot to try out their KBBQ service.

    Brisket
    Rebecca S.

    Good food and service! You cook the meat yourself. The side of cucumbers is tasty. I usually get more sides at other places included in my order so I felt it was a little pricey for what you get but the short rib and bulgolgi was yummy.

    Is the Beaverton location still open? They don't have it listed on their website.

    Heck yes it is open. The website has been outdated for at least 2 years now.

    Is the an Ayce Korean all you can eat? Thank you

    Absolutely not, you can order a combination package that has 3 different kinds of cuts/meats in it and it comes with a soup. You can order platters of raw meats such as pork belly, bulgogi and individual rib eye steaks among many other meats. There… 

    Is this all you can eat?

    No.

    Does the beaverton location take reservations and is the portland location a different restaurant? it seems that on the website the beaverton location doesn't show up as an option on the drop down menu but it's information is located on that page.

    Does this place have chicken, fish, or vegetarian options for the grill? I am not sure if their pictures of menus is a complete offering, and they have no website. I will try to call them and find out when they open.

    They have many tofu, chicken and seafood options; the Spicy Cheesy Chicken Buldak is wonderful - just ask and they'll eliminate the meat from any dish (and sub tofu) as well

    Is there an all you can eat option on the menu? If so how much does it cost? And what's included in it?

    No this is not an all you can eat establishment.

Botto's has a really laid back vibe, great for a lunch or dinner out with friends and/or family. I would definitely visit again! Only downside was the cost. I can't say whether it was worth it or not.

The server wasn't able to answer questions about ingredients, shellfish in particular and had to be reminded. We had the garlic pork belly which was quite salty and not the best. It was a giant slab which made it take a long time to cook. The marinade could use a revisit and adjusted to taste better. Next we had the beef bulgogi. Again the marinade was a let down and it needs more of everything and less sugar. The meat was diced up and not what you'd expect for beef bulgogi. The third meat was honey soy pork belly. This was the best of the meats we had. For sides we had rice which was not served hot and was already just warm when it was delivered and was on the drier side. Japchae, which was just really sad and didn't taste like japchae should. Just a sad cold pile of sweet noodles with some fried onions and bell peppers. This dish needs some serious improvement. Crispy mandoo, can't complain, they were maybe one if the better parts of the meal, again the sauce was on the sweeter side and could have used more shoyu. Sundubu had a good soup base but was bell pepper city and only had 2 pieces of tofu. Radish paper was a delicious addition and really leveled up everything. I don't feel a need to revisit this place again, but I'm glad I tried it.
