I would give this restaurant a 3/5. The food itself was good, and the quality of the meat was enjoyable. However, our overall experience was negatively impacted by both the service and some of the restaurant's policies. When we wanted to share a meal, we were told we couldn't, which forced us to order more food than we actually wanted. The appetizers were also extremely large and could easily serve as a full meal on their own. Service was disappointing throughout our visit. Our first grill was completely charred and difficult to cook on, yet we waited about 20 minutes before it was replaced. We were rarely checked on, and it often felt like we had to wait a long time for assistance. The most uncomfortable part of the experience came when it was time to pay. Because of the poor service, we did not feel that a large tip was deserved. However, we felt pressured by our waitress during checkout. She pointed toward my sister's wallet and appeared to expect cash. After my sister offered a $5 tip, the waitress continued telling us the total and pressured us into giving more. We ultimately added another $5, but we left feeling uncomfortable and dissatisfied with the interaction. The food was good, but the service and the pressure surrounding the tip left a negative impression on our visit. read more

Food? 9/10 Service? 10/10 Ambiance? 9/10 Price? 9/10 I come here at least 4 times per month now. Anna is the BEST and my friends and I literally request/wait for her every time. She's so funny and kind but with a "don't mess with me" attitude. Tough cookie! You come here for great food, lots of it. It's only $32 per person for an AYCE. Most people can spend that much at any restaurant. If you don't know what you're doing, you might have a poor experience figuring out what sauces go with what or creative ways to eat everything. The servers are all happy to help and give suggestions though. PLEASE go and tip well. It's fantastic :) read more

The food here is so good! I recently moved from Cali and needed some kbbq after a long road trip, so let me tell you how relieved I was to eat at a restaurant that was genuinely amazing. Their selections of meats are great and they have three different tiers for decent prices. I usually get the cheaper one because I'm not a fan of seafood but even the cheaper tier has all the meats I'd expect. The servers are very on top of changing the grills and regularly ask if you need any extra sides or drinks. With their welcoming personalities and great selection of music while you dine the vibes of the restaurant is so warm and inviting! read more

I came here again after not coming for a couple years and it is so much better now! We did the AYCE and ordered a variety of beef and pork options! There's also plenty of side dishes and the cheese for the meat was actually so good. We also got a lot of soju and beers and the waiters were lots of fun and really attentive. I also really enjoy getting steamed eggs at kbbq places and this one was really good as well! It's a fun place to eat with friends and family and superrrr filling. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came in with a large group for my birthday and was seated promptly. Anna the server was AMAZING, so efficient and helpful! Prices are very reasonable and the portions are perfectly sized. Unexpected stars were the japchae and the delicious salad vinaigrette. We did the middle AYCE and the selections were very generous. We were checked on constantly.

Stopped here for lunch - all you can eat was only option but at $23 a really good deal! We got brisket, bulgogi, spiced pork belly - which were tasty with the lettuce and salad. Soon doobu was not very flavorful, but mandu and egg rolls (which were more like thin spring rolls which I prefer) were yummy. read more

I highly recommend this Korean bbq restaurant to everyone. Whether you're a local, or out of town or it's just your first time trying Korean bbq/korean food. Please come here I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

Food: very good quality. Service: okay. We put ourselves on a wedding list, but they never texted us. We went to the door and they mentioned we are late so we had to wait more. We sit down in the table eventually, but the server should off after 20 minutes later. Definitely they are very understaffed, but the front girls are just talking to themselves. They're not doing any kind of help to the table. Ambiance: Great. read more

Mr. Kim Korean BBQ - Table before meat - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

The food is delicious, the price is right and the servers are fantastic! Totally a great place to dine!

Went for lunch on a Monday and their pricing is pretty good for their weekday happy hour lunch. The overall AYCE came out to be less than $50 for 2 people. They have a lot of banchan (small Korean side dishes) that's served. I liked their cucumber, kimchi, pickled radish, and japchae. For appetizer, we ordered: Steamed egg Corn cheese Green leaf lettuce For meat, we ordered: Brisket (x1) Beef belly (x3) Boneless pork short rib (x1) The steamed egg was okay. It wasn't as fluffy as it could be. Corn cheese was also extremely oily and I feel like the cheese used wasn't the best. It might have been Mexican 3 cheese? I personally prefer mozzarella. Green leaf lettuce is literally just fresh plain lettuce that you can pair with your cooked meat. They didn't have any rice paper or sliced picked radish that you can eat with your meat which is a shame. They're good rice substitutes so that you can eat more meat and less carbs. They also don't have your typical button at the tables to call for service either. Overall experience was okay. Don't think I would come here to pay full price for dinner but definitely good for lunch since it's cheap. read more

Always a 5 star experience when I go here and it's been nearly 6 years! Staff is outstanding! Great service and don't ever disappoint! The inside is pretty big! They have a hotpot side and a bbq side. It's all you can eat, at a pretty good price! I enjoy coming here solo or with groups! The food is pretty amazing and for those who love boba, they don't have that here unfortunately. The market next door does though, so no need to fret. You can also order from their ala carte menu if you wish, which a picky eater in my group did. Weekdays aren't so busy but on weekends it can get pretty packed. Bring your friends and/or family and enjoy! I highly recommend read more

Our new favorite kbbq spot! We drive up from Colorado Springs. I enjoyed their super quick and friendly service, fresh meats, and variety of side dishes/appetizers included with the AYCE option! Super clean environment and they have rooms for larger parties as well! Free ice cream after? Yes please! We will be back! read more

Decided to come out for some kbbq on a cold night and it was really yummy! We were sat immediately as a party of 4 around 8pm. Because the weather was getting worse, they were trying to close early and were rushing us a bit to order everything but we still enjoyed the meal. We all chose the $38 menu and got one of everything, the bulgogi and the ribeye were the best for me. The banchan sides were yummy but i felt that left a little to be desired, they could have had more options there. The food just kept coming - so many meats! Our server helped us cook a lot of it to save time as well which was nice. Overall it was pretty good and for the price i would definitely come back. read more

I read Mr. Kim had new management and checked out menu and the reviews and was excited to try it. The good: The meat marinates were so good. We really enjoyed the beef bulgogi and the garlic butter shrimp. I always love a variety of bonchon and was happy they had that. The cost was reasonable especially compared to others all you can eat KBBQ places. These pieces earned the 2 stars. The bad: The service was just soo awful. We had a table of 4 adults. Not only did our waitress have to serve the tables, she had to seat people, bring out the bonchon, get their drinks, take their orders AND bring out the meat. I honestly felt bad for her. Our table tried to be proactive in ordering knowing the wait would be long, but she was hesitant to let us order more meat even when we already cooked and ate 2-3 out 4 dishes. Most tables had 2 adults and they were still allowed 4 at a time. I feel the ratio of meat ordering to seated people needs to be looked at. Looking around there were a lot of upset faces including our table. What was so strange was the waitress ALWAYS stopped at a certain table first where the guest took her pick in the items on the cart. This isn't sanitary and was very frustrating because I'm certain the guest took some of our ordered dishes, that required us to have to reorder taking even longer to get. Getting more bonchon was also a struggle and after she brought out our refill, we decided not to even bother asking again. Maybe they typically have more wait staff on Fridays-Sundays? It was a Thursday evening and seemed really busy? But given the seating capacity they should have more than 2-3 servers. We were very appreciative of the other servers that would come to our table when we waved them down for more water. With us just visiting from out of town, I highly doubt my family would ever want to return to give it another try with the fear of it being the same with limited time in town. read more

Food was amazing. Though at the end of our meal the waitress was pressuring me to tip 25%. I went to do a custom tip and she exited out and still pushed for me to tip 25%. That made me very uncomfortable so unfortunately will not be coming back. I think pressuring your guests to tip what you want is very unprofessional. read more

Have been coming every couple of months and very consistent and the quality of the meats are better. Pork belly, pork jowl, and LA galbi are my favorite. Love that the marinated meats are not overly sweet. Service was great last night and the place feels cleaner read more

Our friend was looking for KBBQ for his birthday and we stumbled across Mr. Kim's and it did not disappoint! Their ACYE menu (option B) was perfect for our party. We enjoyed everything we ordered. As a pescatarian, there were plenty of options for me between the side dishes, appetizers, and seafood options! Unfortunately they were out of the octopus, but the shrimp and calamari were plentiful. I am not typically an ACYE person but I do love good KBBQ. The vibes were great and I can imagine they fill up on a Friday or Saturday night! Our server was great -- hilarious and giving us great portions and recommendations as the meal went on. read more

I came here for dinner with friends on a Sunday, and our experience was definitely mixed. Service was not great. We had multiple orders of meat/sides not show up, and I really didn't like that the tables don't have a fan to suck up the smoke. They do have a great range of meat options though, and the main reason I'm giving a 3 star review instead of lower is because they have unlimited LA galbi. I'll definitely visit again to see if the bad service was just a one off experience. read more

Food: We came during happy hour ayce($28 pp) so we had everything on their happy hour menu! I really enjoyed the edamame, corn cheese and egg rolls! Along with the Brisket! The brisket was very good! We honestly ordered that mostly so it was 10/10! Also, the brisket sauce was definitely a must! The only thing is that I wish they had more options on their Happy Hour Menu and their appetizer menu. Service: John was serving us and he was an absolute rockstar! He was super attentive, very accommodating and absolutely personable! He definitely made our experience so fantastic! He asked questions about us and even shared about himself! We appreciated his uplifting spirit for sure! We are definitely coming back with more friends and family because of the hospitality here! Ambiance: It's a large space that can accommodate quite a bit of people! I really enjoyed the music and TVs that played KPop! Definitely a fun and uplifting energy in this restaurant! Definitely felt like the KBBQ restaurants back in Vegas! Overall: Great experience and will definitely come back with friends and family! read more

What a great experience - all the standard Korean BBQ side dishes were delicious. The choice of appetizers all included in AYCe was amazing ( yummy Korean fried chicken). All the meat / pork / seafood choices were fabulous. Well worth a repeat visit read more

Mr Kim's have improved their menu, services and atmosphere! Since the renovation the place feels more upscale and modern. Our server was consistent and so helpful as well. She was very sweet and came to change our grill midway before it started to burn. There were many sides to try from fish cakes, to seaweed, kimchi and other pickled vegetables. I truly enjoyed this Korean bbq experience as it was unlimited to any types of meats and sides we wanted. To top everything off they give a complementary rice/squash drink at the end to help clean off your palette. Truly delightful and sweet! I always want more. read more

Yay for new-ish management and a revamped menu. Price has increased a little bit but their menus have expanded especially in their AYCE options. I've been here twice in the last two weeks and it's fun that there are so many options to choose from that I didn't get to from the last. Well worth the price and their sides/banchan are improved too. read more

Attention KBBQ lovers- there's a new (not really) sheriff in town - Mr. Kim's! We eat KBBQ a minimum of once a month and were pleasantly surprised with our visit. It was recommended by a family member who said they were under new management/ownership and changed their menu and decided to give it a shot. This was our first visit (due to Yelpers NOT recommending previously) and we were very impressed with the most basic menu option A so I can only imagine B & C being even better. Weekday lunch you get $5 off adult pricing until 4pm. We went on a Wednesday at 11am and was the 2nd table. Two hours later (max dining time) we were still the only table. Service at the beginning was kind of rude, but they managed to turn it around. This may be the new household favorite. Will follow up after our next visit which will be soon. read more

What a game changer! After reading on Yelp about the new ownership, I knew we had to give Mr. Kim another chance and super glad we did! Super casual ambiance with plenty of tables.

We've driven by Mr. Kim Korean Barbecue countless times but finally stopped in this weekend--and we're so glad we did! We came in during the afternoon, and while the restaurant was mostly empty, you can tell it's built to handle a solid dinner and weekend crowd. The space is large, clean, and well laid out for groups. The pricing was fair, especially for an AYCE spot. Portions were generous, and everything we ordered came out fresh and full of flavor. The meat quality was great, and the variety of options was seriously impressive--there's something for everyone here. Service was quick and attentive, and the whole experience felt relaxed but well-run. We're already planning to come back soon--and next time, we might bring a few more people to take full advantage of that menu! If you've been driving past like we were--stop in. It's worth it! read more

This place has changed management I believe and so a lot of former complaints have definitely been taken care of. Both the menu items and all you can eat are delicious, the all you can eat is the best option to get your moneys worth, they offer a lot of flavorful side dishes 반찬 both the traditional and some other ones as well. The meats are always well seasoned and they offer sauces as well. The service depends on the day and who you get but I can't say I've ever had a bad experience, they're always attentive and you can ring the bell if you need help. read more

From the beginning, the server pressured us to getting the most expensive menu set, pressuring us to get specific meats, and pressured us to tip 20% or 25% at the end of the meal. Besides the unprofessional marketing tactic, she was annoyed when we asked to order more food, she made up excuses of not wanting to bring us food, she told us she'd be slower because she had a larger party (which she didn't), she forgot many of the foods that we ordered. When we finally got the food to cook, the server was trying to tell a table full of Asian what to cook next on the grill, as if the concept isn't already to cook it ourselves. She also made a racially motivated comment by asking the only Caucasian appearing person in our group if they wanted a fork, but didn't ask anyone else at the table. The food options were limited when it came to vegetables. There was not even a single vegetable option to grill. The Korean fried chicken is just mystery size pieces of chicken that is overfried into oblivion. The server pressured us to order the top tier menu, but we chose the middle tier instead, and yet she was annoyed when we ordered more food. How would she have reacted if we got the top tier with additional food items? The upsale and the customer service were not lining up. Don't upsale if you don't want to commit to the sale. I would suggest to going to other better Korean BBQ places as the quality of food and service here can be much improved to retain patrons. read more
