You know...

This place is the equivalent to saying to Italians "Olive Garden is the most authentic Italian food" The first big red flag starting off was the fact they put parchment paper with BUTTER on top of the burner before even cooking the meat... you don't really put butter cause kbbq meat already is rich and should be delicious. The meat itself is not great. Very, very fatty and not good in quality. The cuts were cheap and they covered it with sugary seasoning. Very sweet in all their options. The best thing honestly was the garlic... and they came out as whole cloves. The sides are not great. None of it was appetizing as it was bland. Kimchi pancake is just pan fried dough. The kimchi is from a store bought jar (again too sweet) that seemed like no one wanted to so it's fermented to the max. The workers were on their phones the entire night and we had to flag them down for simple things like water refill and additional meat orderings. There were a total of 2 parties of 3 in the entire restaurant... at least come check on them frequently and change out brunt pan (parchment paper...) If you're actually looking for kbbq this is not it. If you want to go for their food because you think it's good and like it, no judgement here. Please enjoy. BUT I really do not like it when you claim to be something you're not. It's boarder line fraud...

Being from the Philly area, we honestly don't have a ton of really good, authentic Korean BBQ…read moreoptions around here. I'm so tired of the fake k-pot style bbq....I've eaten authentic Korean BBQ in KOREA, in Vegas, my mom's house ;), NYC Koreatown, Annandale/Northern VA, and plenty of other places over the years, so I'm probably a little harder to impress than most when it comes to Korean food. That said -- this place in Exton is legit. I drive about 40 minutes just to come here, and there are plenty of restaurants much closer to me. That alone probably says enough. The meat is consistently fresh and good quality, the banchan actually tastes like Korean banchan should, and the whole meal just feels authentic rather than some watered-down version of Korean BBQ made for people who have never had the real thing. The flavors, marinades, side dishes and overall experience remind me of the Korean food I grew up eating and the places I've eaten at in Korea. That's hard to find around the Philly suburbs. Open late like good kbbq spots are supposed to, good drinks, not fancy, but authentic. What brings me back to my childhood - stainless steel thin metal bowls, cups, water out of a jug, absolutely nail the combination of quality, authenticity, and price. There is a reason I'll drive 40 minutes each way when I'm craving Korean BBQ instead of just picking somewhere closer. If you know Korean food, you'll appreciate this place. If you don't know Korean food yet, this is a pretty damn good place to start.

I was staying in a nearby hotel and drove by almost every day for a week and decided it was time to try it on my last night in Lancaster. When I got there at about 5:45pm there were just a few tables occupied and it was easy to immediately place an order (you can order at the counter, or on a kiosk). I placed an order for japchae noodles and then a 5pc of drumsticks. It ended up being way more food than I bargained for and so I took most of the japchae to-go. The wings were made-to-order and had the characteristic double fry and then were bathed in a yum yum sauce. It was very good and not overly spicy. The japchae was fine but didn't have quite the same star power that the fried chicken had. The noodles were soft and portion was large though which was good. By the time I left about 30 minutes later, the restaurant was packed and there was a line to order that was nearly out the door. I can understand why this is a popular place!

Literally empty. No customers. A young man greeted us and told us to sit anywhere we'd like. No menus. We sat and waited. A minute later a young woman brought us waters. We waited. And waited. When the young man appeared again we asked if we had to look at the menu on our phone and he said he'd bring us paper menus. He quickly dropped off menus and left. Still no customers in the entire place. A few minutes later another couple came in and the young man sat them and attended to them as you would expect a waiter to attend to guests in a restaurant. A few minutes later he came over to us and dropped off a complimentary tray of "tuna salad" on tortilla chips and disappeared. Gross. After 15 minutes, and a few people coming in to dine, no one came up to us to take our order or answer any questions. We left. We walked right by a woman who I'm assuming was owner and she completely ignored us. Really?? Will never go back there.

Everything was delicious, from the apps to the dishes, and definitely very healthy portions! Service was pretty good as well, with attentive staff despite there not being a whole lot of them. The food is Korean-inspired with some fusion elements, and all of it was nicely executed. Fried chicken bites were a pretty big hit, and the pork buns were good as well - crispier than usual, but still really good. Toppoki was nice too, and have to say that calling it rice gnocchi is pretty smart to make it easier to understand outside the Asian POV. Kimchi paella was essentially kimchi fried rice, but tasty and filling, and the scrape off parts at the bottom, that's rice gold right there. I don't always eat rice, but when I do, I prefer slightly burnt at the bottom of a stone pot. Second visit, I went with fire chicken, which is tasty and has some kick. I did notice that my not Asian colleague was asked if he was sure about the three fire symbols, but I was not :P Space is pretty nice inside too, a nice combination of old and new; the bathroom was nice and clean, and the general feel inside is casual but elegant. I wouldn't be opposed to returning, but would need to know much more about allergy protocols and awareness, which admittedly isn't always a strong point in Asian cuisine.
