No longer do clients have to fight over raw galbi to bring back to their tables. Now it's a little more sanitary - you order your meats and the server brings it to the table. You still have to grill it yourself. They are one of the rare ayce kbbq restaurants that has LA galbi! Alao featured of course is pork belly, and various other beef cuts depending on the tier you choose. We chose the cheaper tier and it was still great. The price was amazing. I think it came out to around 30 per person after tax and tip. They are byob too. Besides parking, i like everything about this place more than Butcher 360.

K-BBQ always a yes for me!!…read more We came here for Thanksgiving and it was cool since no dishes needed to be cleaned, no groceries, no cooking, no prepping... sometimes you just need to take a break. It wasn't crowded at all when we came at 1pm. We had a party of 6 and the booth fit us comfortably. On a holiday, each person was $31.95. If you wanted to upgrade to the premium which had the waygu and more it was an additional $20 and that means each person would need to pay the same price so we opted out of the premium and it was a great choice since everything was delicious. So you get to select 4 meats at a time and then your sides. And of course the complimentary items like Kimchi, Radish, their own style of Mashed Potaotes. My favorites: - Pork belly (all different flavors) - for the plain pork belly dip it in the sesame sauce and salt so yum - Bulgogi - Shrimp with the heads Sides: - Japchae - Corn Cheese - make sure to heat it up on the grill before eating - don't make my mistake lol - I love steamed egg and they didn't have it so that's why they didn't get 5 stars from me - Of course white rice Dessert was the Hotteok - really good! Note: You cook your meats (not like Cast Iron which I prefer who cook it for you) and each time our 4 meats are done they would give us a new pan to grill. Be careful with the carbs... you easily can get full. Enjoy your meal ours was yummy and hit the spot.

I came here after a full day of skiing from sun up to sundown so this was right what I needed. They also give you a side of kimchi which was also pretty good. The place is small with little parking, which I would say would be a very bad con. The restaurant itself is very homey and the waiter was very nice!

Arriving at noon, we were seated right away. After ordering, we noticed the kitchen does get quite busy with a lot of take out orders. Always a good sign when this happens to signify good food! The jajang-myun is so tasty with bits of seafood and onions. Sauce has just the right amount of flavoring and the noodles with just the right amount of chewiness and bounce. Loved the beef intestine stew! Not overly spicy and warmed me up on a cold winter's day. The ox bone soup came with spices and salt so you could taylor to your liking. Last new item we tried was the tang-su-yuk, which was flavorful but was more breading than pork. It is deep fried with a side of sweet and sour sauce. I liked having the sauce on the side instead of already dipped so you could add as much or as little as you'd like.

I've come here a few times over the years, and I have repeatedly had problems. I typically ask for the meat on the side, and there's about a 50/50 chance it comes on top. They also messed up my order several times, and there's a chance they refuse to replace it (even if the receipt item doesn't match with what they gave me). I do not blame the cashiers or workers for this because I've ordered with several of them and had the exact same issues. This is a management-level problem. Most recently, they charged me for something I didn't order and said they were unable to do a partial refund. I told them that I didn't order the item and didn't want it, and they told me that a refund wasn't possible, so they gave me the item and a bonus soda. I appreciate the attempt to make up for it, but it just isn't enough. Why am I forced to buy something I didn't want? It also didn't even taste good. I can understand making a mistake every once in a while, but this is excessive. I won't be coming back to eat here again, and I can't recommend this place to anyone.

We ordered the spicy pork dumplings and sautéed string beans to start. Both were very good. The broth inside the dumpling is very spicy and absolutely delicious. If you like spicy things, these will warm you up. We also ordered mapo tofu and noodles with pork. The tofu was extremely soft and melts in your mouth. Good flavor in this dish. The noodles were very good too, however they were not as spicy as advertised. The server warned me and I told her I love spicy things (I devoured the dumplings), so I really hope the noodles are spicy too. They weren't, however they were still very good. (I took leftovers home and added my own spice to them.) I've been here twice. I would love to come back and try more things, but like I already stated, it's always extremely busy and the wait can be long. Plan ahead!

I've eaten at Ottoyee for months now, and each experience has been incredibly delicious. However, the only thing is that the wait time can run very long. Not for the food to arrive, but for placing the order. We tried to get the attention of the waiter on staff multiple times, but was either ignored or they were behind the screen attending to something else. The wait time was around 15-20 minutes, but this is likely attributed to the small staff. Otherwise though, they were incredibly kind and knowledgeable of the menu and we still had a delicious experience as usual.

I so wanted to love this place, and was so excited to try it when reading the menu. Otoro? Ramen?…read moreGyudon? It all sounded like the perfect restaurant, but I'm really hesitant to return. Upon entertaining on a weekend evening, there were a few tables with patrons but not too busy. The restaurant did seem a bit understaffed with only one person taking orders / bringing food out, making it difficult to flag down this one person to successfully take our order and ask for anything additional throughout the night. Gyudon: for the price, we were really surprised at how small of a portion this was. It was not only in a small bowl, but the meat was layered on top perfectly deceiving you to think that there was more than there actually was. The majority of this dish was rice, and with limited sauce at that. As displayed on the menu images it was to be served with a runny egg, but unfortunately we got a fully cooked one (disappointing, as we were looking for something to mix with the rice!) Sushi: We got a 3 rolls and they were just alright. They were pretty small in size, with less rice than I'm used to (which is something I do like - I would rather more fish than rice!) With us getting spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy scallop - they all kind of tasted the same, so I wish the fish wasn't as heavily masked with spicy mayo. Ramen: I got the black garlic ramen, and it wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst. I've purchased fresh ramen packages in the supermarket before and it tasted just like that, so it made me disappointed knowing I could achieve the same at home. The soup itself was extremely rich and fatty, and the charsiu had no flavor whatsoever leaving much to be desired. The main reason I'm rating this so low is upon having my last bites of sushi, I could tell something was off. I don't recall which specifically I had but I made a statement that it was extremely fishy and off putting. Fast forward later that night, I was hunched over the toilet vomiting with stomach pain - and I can deduct that the sushi was the culprit. I might consider trying Ottoyee again due to the great deals they have listed on food delivery apps, but the sushi quality (quite literally) put a bad taste in my mouth.
