    Grill
    Chloe N.

    Lively atmosphere even late at night. In terms of the meats/ seafood, the seafood options were pretty limited and the meats tasted average. The portions were on the small side so you would have to keep ordering multiple times to get a decent portion. They also had a limit on the ny strip steak (1 per person and it was quite small). However, they do have a good variety of sides that includes soups. That being said, this place has greay service! The server was attentive and was able to get the food and grill up and running quickly when I told her I was starving. She also changed our grill regularly. This place has good value and offers discounts if you dine a few hours close to closing. They also give you a voucher for free karaoke next door! Just your average kbbq place.

    Hey Yelp!

    The food was 4 stars. My server, EJ was 6 stars. All together it's 5 stars for me. I didn't come here to eat. It was 3:30. I was stopping in the parking lot to get some tea from Mama Chai's. I decided to stick my head in to see what Mr. Kim's was about. I looked around and before I knew it they had me seated with a menu. Boy! They're good! I always just get a seafood tofu soup when I eat at Korean restaurants maybe with a side or two. Here you get AYCE so you might as well have the BBQ. And for the first time ever I grilled at my table. And it was fun! I thought it would be hot with the grill there. It wasn't. The ventilation sucked the heat downward I supposed. I got the classic level, which was the cheapest at like $27. I wasn't hungry, so I wasn't going crazy. I asked for the octopus and squid to start. The meats and fish were really good. The sides were really mediocre. I was informed there was no squid and was offered shrimp. That ended up being the best thing I ate. I've never cooked at my table before and I've never cooked octopus before, so this was a totally new experience. EJ was amazing. She was tall and thin and could easily have been a model. Today she was teaching me how to cook octopus. She cut up the octopus for me and showed me how it turned from translucent to white. She spent a lot of time with me and made me feel special. She really is an amazing person. I ordered tofu soup, spicy tuna roll, edamame and jalapeno appetizer. The edamame was good. The tofu soup tasted like tomato soup. It was mild. That was weird. No egg in the soup either. The jalapeno appetizer was mostly cream cheese. The tuna was sparse. I normally would love these. This one missed the mark. The spicy tuna roll was covered in teriyaki sauce and that made it a 4/10 for me. The rice was overcooked and the sauce was yucky on spicy tuna. The first thing to be done were my shrimp, which had a good char. I removed the heads and shell and my fingers were sticky after. It was SO good. They give you 4 shrimp. I wish I would have gotten 12 shrimp and the octopus and stopped there. The octopus was finished next. It was spicy but not hot. It was very manageable. The tentacles were tender and fresh. It was quite lovely. This place is trendy and rap music played. It was pretty full for 3:30 pm. The colorful squares glowed and rings of light illuminated the dining area. EJ came back to check on me and recommended the teriyaki chicken. I was getting full but did it anyways. I got it with the jalapeno side and vegetable side. It looked done to me until EJ came and chopped it up. It was still pink in the middle. She brought me a sauce that I poured over the chicken and veggies as they cooked. I have no clue what it was. It looked like a broth. I sprinkled salt and pepper over everything. And then I got so full. I did drink a lot of water. I couldn't finish my chicken and EJ didn't make me. It says there is a charge if you don't eat it all. I was grateful she was so kind. She offered ice cream and I said I could not. She brought me the bill and shook my hand introducing herself. I would come back again just for EJ. Thank you for making my first time so much fun, EJ!

    Let me start by saying the customer service was great and the wait for food was never long. I see they're under new management so maybe there's been some improvements. The price point for this place for their regular tier of Korean bbq is great. The bulgogi was on point and the veggies were fresh. I like to see more of a variety of sushi on the list but this was a great option for a late lunch . We went around 4-5pm so it was actually empty (and on a weekday) . I was told to come back because the nighttime weekend vibe is a lot different. Overall, I'd revisit this place and hope to see items added to the menu .

    Came in without any expectations, but we had a great experience! The staff was super friendly, the restaurant was clean and welcoming, and the service was excellent. They have a great variety of menu options, so it's perfect for families with kids. The meat quality was also really good. We'll definitely be back!

    Make no mistake! Double check your reservation. This is NOT Master Kim's down the street! We made this simple mistake, but since table was ready, we gave Mister an honest try. Of all the meats and sides ordered, just the potato salad arrived long before the meats. Men hungry. Quality not great. Offered grill change often but when took off grill, kid taking time chatting up other tables before returning to our table with clean grill! Men hungry! Inedible Steamed Egg arrived last after 3rd round, even though it was ordered with first round. The birthday parade with stadium horn and matraca was annoying and made one wonder where we were? Hey, we tried. GM626 say: Nah! Nevamind!

    I was looking forward to finally trying Mr. Kim's and enjoyed the food but service timing could have been better. I took my niece and her two friends who were in town. We made reservations for an early dinner at 4:30pm on a Saturday. We arrived on time and no one else was waiting but it still took them about 15 minutes to seat us. It took awhile to even be acknowledged. Once seated we had a super friendly server, Elena. We went with the middle tier of the AYCE, the Premium. The proteins were all great. We especially enjoyed the Ribeye and the Pork Belly. They have lots of sides to choose from. A soup is also included. I had the Spicy Tofu which was delicious, not too spicy for me. The Shrimp Tempura and Gyoza was a hit with us. The Jalapeño Bomb, not so much, dry and bland if that makes sense. The let down was the sides took so long to bring out. A couple of times we had to ask if one of them was still coming because they wouldn't bring out a complete order. Since they would bring out a side one at a time, apparently when it was ready, they would lose track of what they brought out. They need a little more organization in that respect. The restaurant is the bright with natural light as well as colored lighting through. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. A scoop of ice cream is also included for dessert, the Green Tea Ice Cream was good. Food is great but service timing just ok. Not the servers fault, she was wonderful; so the kitchen and bussers could improve. So many AYCE Korean BBQ places even just in that area they need to get their food out more timely.

    Steamed egg. No flavor

    So on our recent trip to Vegas, we wanted to try a local KBBQ. We got there around 5pm and it was pretty empty. We got water and service right away. Prices are pretty decent for all you can eat. Sides are ordered as needed. To start, my hubby and I ordered green tea. Menu says hot. The water was barely warm. Not sure if the water being just warm made the green tea taste terrible? It was the worst! I asked them for another one but hot. I never got it. Not mad about that because it tasted bad anyways. When they brought the little dipping trays with sauce and salt, the waiter dropped one and it spilled all over my daughter's leg and seat. We barely got an apology or anything to clean up with! We used all our table napkins and eventually they brought us more napkins, which were the tiny cocktail size. I ordered the steamed egg. Which was terrible. No umami flavor! Like it literally was just plain egg steamed...barely. The rice paper wraps were cut into strips and very very hard to pull apart! I just cut the strips into quarters and ate it that way. The salad was tasty but too much dressing. I know petty, but it had a LOT of dressing. I don't like kimchi so no info on that. The fish cakes were good. My review would be less stars but the meat was pretty decent! The brisket was flavorful. The NY steak was tender. The beef tongue was tasty and not gamey. You can't go wrong with pork belly. The Kalbi was very fatty. Like...very. The shrimp was firm and not too fishy smelling. They serve it tail, head, shell on so it's not very flavored. They put the marinade right on top of the shell so it never really touches the meat. The stand out was the marinated boneless short rib. So tender and full of flavor. So, to sum up. The service was meh, they kept forgetting stuff. Twice the young man serving our table dropped things. The smoke from grilling really lingers since there is not direct vent above grill. Some of the sides were not good. The green tea was bad. Def not on repeat for us.

Ribs were very tender and paired nicely with the sauces. My favorite sauce was the sweet bbq. The cornbread was warm and had a cake like consistency which I loved. There were a few things we ordered that had potential like the brisket, baked beans, and koolaid. We asked for a leaner cut of brisket and while it was lean, it was not tender at all. If it were, I'd be willing to order again. The baked beans were a little too spicy for my preference and the koolaid barely had any sugar. I was not a fan of the greens, yams, loaded or mashed potatoes. The greens had an interesting flavor that none of us cared for, the yams still had skin pieces and outside of sugar didn't hold any flavor, and the mashed potatoes were bland. The restaurant itself is spacious. And the lady who rang up our order was really sweet and helpful. I also noticed they had an AYCE deal that sounded like a good price if all guests in your group are willing to commit.

I grew up eating KC BBQ and and lived in TX for several years and had plenty of TX BBQ- this to me is decent BBQ but if you know and like phenomenal BBQ this isn't going to compete with that. Read so many great reviews so I had really high expectations. Again, kudos to the pit master. The tenderness of the brisket, pastrami and beef rib was the saving grace. The woman who worked the counter taking orders was also one of the only reasons this isn't a 1 star review for me. She was a bit of sunshine in that place.

The pork ribs are wonderfully juicy and packed with deep flavor, pairing nicely with the complimentary sweet BBQ sauce even though they do not strictly need it. Unlike most places where the pulled pork dries out, this one stays remarkably moist and savory throughout. Chili (4/5): A very unique side that is much thinner and more watery than a traditional chili, holding a texture closer to a thin spaghetti sauce. Despite the looser consistency, it is absolutely packed with a variety of delicious smoked meats in every single bite. Mac and Cheese (5/5): An exceptional side dish and a clear favorite of the meal. It's incredibly rich, creamy, and distinctively flavored with sharp cheddar, which gives it a much bolder and more satisfying punch than standard restaurant mac and cheese. Corn Bread (5/5): This side functions almost like a dessert, boasting an incredibly sweet, vanilla cake like taste. The high level of sweetness provides a nice contrast to the intense salt, smoke, and savory flavors of the massive meat plate. Logistics Tip: Parking is limited but manageable between the two adjacent lots, and there is a clean restroom on site. To help beat the intense heat, they generously provide complimentary bottles of ice cold water. Keep in mind that they hosted live music on the late Saturday morning that we went. While it adds a fun, energetic backyard vibe, it can get incredibly loud and makes chatting with friends difficult, so you may want to bring ear protection or plan your arrival time accordingly.
