Once there we wait 10 minutes before someone comes and tells us that our table is being cleaned. 5 minutes later another person comes and tells us our table is ready but we have to be finished in 20 minutes! Beyond frustrating, why not say that when I called. Needless to say we won't be recommending them. Very poor customer service.

This place is awesome. I'd never been to a Korean bbq place until I went here with family. The meat…read moreis seasoned well, and the table set up is just fun! Wasn't a fan of the shrimp, which they serve whole. It tastes fine and is seasoned nicely, but de-shelling is kind of a bother. The Kimchi is great, and their system of bringing out the raw food in small stackable dishes is easy to pass around and share. The only complaint I have is about their grill cleaning. After you're done one round, they shut down the grill, wait for it to cool (5 minutes), remove the dirty grill top (5 minutes), and wait to bring out a clean one (10 minutes). 20 minutes of waiting to continue eating aren't just excessive, it's not smart for business. By the time we were done waiting for the new grill top, we were starting to lose our appetite. If you're getting the all-you-can-eat option, watch out for that. It could mean you have more trouble finishing the second round of food. As with most a.y.c.e. options, you have to pay for what you don't finish, so some part of me wonders if this isn't some sort of sneaky strategy to make you full faster. Either way, great place - clean, delicious, and the staff was friendly.

They still do 10% cash discount and we got the large Korean boneless fried chicken, half house crispy and spicy chicken and half honey garlic.

We went because we've been watching a Korean food show and had the desire to try it. Service was fast and friendly, we went with the pork thingy with cheese around the edge (we honestly thought it was rice until it arrived!) It could well have fed 3 of us as there was so much food. We throughly enjoyed it, including the three little side dishes you get. (Including the rice). Some people say there's too much oil, I can see why, but to me that's part of the dish and culture. If it's not for you don't go back, but we certainly will.

No problem, we'd rather have it fresh than sitting around. Miso soup was good but a bit on the small side. We enjoyed the veggie gyoza as they were fried to a crisp. I ordered the avocado cucumber roll, Futo Maki roll, and yam tempura dragon roll. The BF ordered the tuna roll, salmon avocado, and French Kiss roll. We both noticed they were wrapped extremely loose and we had difficulty picking up each piece with chopsticks without them falling apart. Flavor-wise we found them all a bit bland, even the speciality rolls- which was really a shame because the cheapest roll was $9. Our total was $100 with tip which we found to be on the expensive side for the quantities received. Next time we're in town we'd try elsewhere or just not order sushi until we're back home.

We ordered 3 spicy rolls which came to the table the smallest rolls I have ever seen which were literally doused in spicy sauce. When I complained I was told "oh well that's how we make it and there's nothing we will do about it. The miso soup was luke warm and extremely salty. Even the beef udon soup was flavourless. The only thing which was good was the edamame. The restaurant itself had no ambiance or warmth.

The chicken for the most part was good. There were a lot of pieces with floury bits - no meat. But I can't complain. Ordered kimbap as well. It's freshly made - it was still warm when it was delivered. The roll breaks apart as you grab it. Pretty good on account of not having another place to compare it to in Waterloo. Kind of pricey for what you get.

We were in Waterloo for the day and looking for a spot to eat for lunch. We came across this Kimbap…read morestore with high reviews so we had to try! The shop inside is small but had some seating if you wanted to dine in. Staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile upon entering, very welcoming! You would order at the counter and I think you pick up your food as well, we didn't dine in so I'm not sure if they do table service. The Kimbap is made fresh to order so it took them 10-15 minutes to make our order. We had ordered 4 Kimbaps and a bulgogi cup bowl dish. The cup was a bit small for the price we paid ($17 before tax/tip) but the Kimbap turned out to be very large and filling ($13-$14 each before tax/tip for the tuna and bulgogi kimbaps). Although the Kimbap was large and colourful with a lot of nice ingredients, we found a few pieces kept breaking when we were trying to pick it up to eat. It didn't hold together as nice so it made the experience a little messy with the ingredients dropping out. For the price and the Kimbap not holding together well, I'm not sure if I would come back as often. I rather get it at H-Mart for cheaper or make it myself at home. The prices are before tax and tip so it can get expensive for only 10 large pieces of Kimbap. It's worth giving the spot a try though! The Kimbap did taste pretty good and staff are friendly. They do have other items as well such as the egg sando etc.
