    Nice friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Average noise level for kbbq. Meats was cooked nicely, flavors came together well. Seafood pancake was less flour and more seafood but it was good. Overall one of the better kbbq locations in phily area - 45 mins drive from downtown philly but if i am in the area i woud stop by again.. Its a plus that they cook the meat for you so you can enjoy the company you are with and eat the food while its still hot.

    Dish was crispy, warm and so flavorful. Large portions and great value, even had lunch for the following day. Inside was so bright, open, and service was very attentive.

    This is one of the nicer Korean bbq I have been to. The restaurant is in a convenient location with plenty of parking. The interior is very clean, looks new, very spacious, and looks like a fancy restaurant. Service is fantastic very fast, accommodating, and friendly. I do find it a little funny that the waiters wear LED name tags. The food is very fresh, cooked very well, very tasty and delicious. I love the addition of the different kinds of salt they give it out. It almost my go to over the sauces. My Absolutely favorite cut of meat was the pork belly. Side note: most Korean bbq spots you leave smelling like it but here the vents are very strong and you don't leave smelling like it. I will be back again soon.

    The service was amazing. They kept refilling the side dishes, sauces, drinks, lettuce, napkins, etc. that we wanted promptly. The food was cooked perfectly to how we wanted it. There's no other way I would want to do KBBQ. When deciding whether to order a la carte (which is what we normally do) vs ordering from their premade menu, you can ask yourself if you want the soup that it comes with. Otherwise ordering a la carte with a couple meats comes out to almost the same price.

    Once again, we were not disappointed. I had to read my previous review to remember that last time we ordered the salt premium and it was plenty for 5 adults, we just had more kids with us this time (5 kids). I would say the Wagyu was a little chewier this time. The other meats were actually more tender like the kalbi and sirloin. We ordered everything marinated and non spicy since we had kids. The pork belly was still cut too thick for my taste. The service was a little slower this time in getting our order, but everything else was fine. All side dishes and lettuce are unlimited. They can keep refilling. We got cheese corn in the house again. They were able to seat our party of 10 with no reservation within 5 mins. We came on a rainy Sunday around 5 PM. Once again, we left without smelling like we ate BBQ at all. Their ventilation is truly amazing. Will be making the hour drive to come back at some point.

    Great consistent spot, food is always fresh and the waiters usually fairly attentive. Don't love their Korean chicken as it's a bit too oily for my taste but the Korean bbq and its sides are pretty good

    10/0 definitely recommend this place, my family and I came here for lunch right when they opened so it was perfect! All I can say is this is one of the best Korean BBQ I've ever had. Food was delicious and so was my drink! We got the $200 package and it fed our family of four and we even bought back some leftovers back home. Friendly service, the place isn't as big as I thought it would be. We came early so we got seated right away, but I suggest making reservations if coming for dinner or on the weekend! Would definitely come back again if we're near by! We're from South Jersey so it was a drive for us but we happened to be around and always wanted to try.

    Visited Salt BBQ after various recommendations. We didn't order the k-bbq but will need to stop by to try it. The vibe was relax, clean restaurant and the service was fine. Started with the Cheese Fried Chicken and Salmon Sashimi Salad. The fried chicken was really great and aesthetically pleasing presentation. I loved the fried sweet potato garnish. The salad was also really refreshing and delicious with slices of pear and lemon to compliment the salmon sashimi. Decent portion of salmon sashimi. The Galbi Soondubu was a little disappointing. A lot of steamed egg at the bottom of the bowl and I would've preferred more of the galbi instead. Overall we had a really nice lunch. Will have to stop by again and try the k-bbq instead but had great appetizers.

    It's always an amazing experience at Salt! I made reservations for 6pm and the place got packed fast. We ordered marinated galbi, prime bottom sirloin and prime ribeye.

    Meat seasoned well and cooked for you, good sides, just a bit pricy. Service was quick.

    I'm always on the hunt for better and more Korean food options in the PA and NJ area so when I heard about this new spot I had to make the 1 hour hike there from South Jersey Ample seating and lots of bbq tables. We started with a mojito, spicy rice cakes and some side dishes. The mojito was way too much sour mix but cute presentation. The spicy rice cakes were actually spicy and the rice cakes had a great texture! 6.75/10 The side dishes were OK, the kimchi was awful. It was way too ripe and way too sour for my taste but I dug the kimchi radish Then we got the galbi and prime rib. The galbi was way better. SO tender but the quantity was ehhh but I get it it's good quality. If you're debating what meats you should get probably just stick with the galbi and then pork belly if you must. The soybean paste soup was good! I would have wanted a slightly deeper flavor but not terribile and ample seafood. The naengmyun was great! WAy too much ice though but noodles and broth were decent Overall, I had a good experience but it wasn't like the ones in Korea and Fort Lee. I needed a better kimchi, deeper flavors but the galbi was good!

    This is our go to lunch after grocery shopping at Assi Plaza. Plenty filling with always changing banchan.

    Came here with a group of 12 and it was great! This was our first time here and definitely not our last! We ordered a lot of food but our favorite was the Marinated galbi and the pork. The sides were also really tasty we enjoyed the kimchi radish and salad. We also enjoyed the soups, the kimchi soup was spicy and the soy bean soup was very tasty. Service was great we had a few servers help us cook the food and made sure it was made to our liking and once cooked they moved it to a bowl so the meat did not over cook. Parking was just okay, the close parking spots had a 2 hr limit and it's just a little walk to the other parking spots.

Plus the portions are very generous and the prices extremely reasonable. Be sure to grab a pancake, the gamtang or army stew, a classic dolsot bibimbap and a galbi. While the cooking is done in the kitchen, the galbi quality and flavoring cannot be beat - and the portion is quite generous especially given it is less than $30! The team here is absolutely wonderful and incredibly kind. We had 2 babies with us and they were welcoming, accommodating, and even helped to keep them entertained. It has been quite a number of years for me and I no longer live in the area but we will be back every time we come to visit my family. This is a true gem and you can see that this is a go-to for locals as the patrons are all on a first name basis with the team. If you are craving Korean, this needs to be your first stop!

If you've been to an Hmart, BornGa is basically the Hmart food court but its own independent restaurant, and that's not a bad thing. The menu is mostly made up of Korean soups and noodles, and I got myself a seolleongtang (ox bone soup). Really good among the seolleongtangs I've had, with a soothing beef flavor, a good amount of boneless meat that was easy to eat, and surprisingly some noodles in the soup along with the usual cup of rice. You do have to add salt as is usual for this dish, and there is a jar on every table. The highlight though was perhaps the only non-soup/noodle dish, the tonkatsu. My partner got it and it was HUGE, literally the size of your face. Perfectly crispy with a really nice sauce, no notes on the katsu itself. We did wish it came with more rice and the side salad, as the portions of those felt too small compared to the enormous katsu. However, there is complimentary and UNLIMITED kimchi (both the usual cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi) that you can serve yourself from a fridge, which is a great accompaniment to any meal. Just be reasonable and considerate with it, I'd hate for them to take it away because someone ruins it for the rest of us. Both dishes along with plenty of kimchi were incredibly filling, and every dish on the menu is a flat $16.99 (plus since it's counter-serve, no pressure to tip). All in all, BornGa is not the kind of Korean place that gives you a whole royal spread of banchan or piles of meat from the grill. But it's a great spot if you know what you're getting into - casual but affordable Korean comfort food.

Love that this place was very home-styled, comfy, and more dimly lit for a more intimate dining experience. We came here for BBQ, and the meat didn't disappoint. Some of the thicker meat cuts hadn't thawed yet though, so it took a little more time to cook. The staff attending us were very attentive, and helped us cut our food and manage the grill. Note: It's BYOB, so no alcohol is sold here. So if you want soju or makgeolli or some other 21+ beverage, make sure to bring your own. There is dessert if you want to have it there or to-go!
