    Honestly, I thought this place was pretty fire for post marathon meat eats. Affordable for AYCE, meats were decent, and the ajummas were very nice with their service. One of them was from Upland, shoutout to the IE.

    To begin, prior to coming I have seen some iffy reviews about the service here and after trying this place out I can now see why. My theory is that on busy nights/weekends the turnovers for the next seating are extremely overwhelming on the staff due to limited seating which in return causes the priority to be getting ppl in and out asap rather than focusing on the actual "service" if ykwim. SO if you come please be patient with the aunties here who are trying their best. I suggest on coming on a slow/week day if anything for those who appreciate more attention. The food is good esp for the price. This Korean bbq definitely screams hole in the wall.

    Fast service, good panchan variety, quality meat... and the price isn't bad for ayce. This is a staple in our restaurant rotation.

    Soondaeguk. This is what I crave when I want Korean food.

    I realize folks come to Sik Do Rak for the Korean bbq and AYCE option. Not me. I come for the soondaeguk on the lunch special menu. Most of the menu items are pretty standard for local Korean restaurants, but soondaeguk (blood sausage soup) is hard to find and I love the way they do it here. A ton of perilla flavor in the broth and just the right portion for a hearty meal, the soup comes with rice and banchan. Sik Do Rak isn't the shiniest place ever, but the restaurant is pretty clean, the service is decent and while parking is tight, it is available. I've been coming for over 10 years and it has my Korean mother's stamp of approval.

    Sikdorak is one of the OG KBBQ spots that may not be the most refined or have the best service- but it always hits right. First things first, it's open until 4 am and its BYOB. Bet. I always end up being the DD whenever my friends want to drink at Sikdorak but it's still always ends up being a good time. If you bring your own alcohol, don't forget to bring your ID- they will check! The AYCE Korean BBQ option is $30 per person. My biggest bone to pick with the AYCE here is that it does not include lettuce. Lettuce is an extra $5 and we ended up getting two orders of lettuce the last time we came in. We also ordered their green onion salad for $6. Usually both of these items would be included in their complimentary banchan. We also asked for some raw garlic and soybean paste - although it's not on the menu or automatically given with banchan. Whether if it's a water refill, grill change, or putting in meat orders --you'll have to be more assertive when asking for something you may need. Just a note, they give huge portions of meat for your first order and smaller portions for the other rounds of meat. Also, you can only order 4 meats at a time. You do have to pay to park in this lot. Don't forget to get your ticket validated!

    Sikdorak is one of those old school, no frills ayce kbbq spots where you go when you're craving a lot of meat for a great price. The value here is hard to beat the per person cost gets you a solid selection, and while the meat quality is just decent, it's the quantity that makes this place worth it. One thing to note is that the first round of meat they bring out is huge, so it's best to pace yourself when ordering. My go to choices are the brisket, pork belly, and marinated short ribs, the short ribs alone justify the price. Service is surprisingly good for an ayce spot, they check in often to see if you need more meat, and once, a server even brought us a bucket of ice for our beers. Speaking of beers, it's byob, which is always a plus. If you're looking for a fancy kbbq experience, this isn't it, but if you want to eat a ton of meat without breaking the bank, Sikdorak is the move. I'll definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in the mood for an unlimited meat feast.

    So this is not my first time here - it's maybe 4th or so. But let me tell you all about it. Sik Do Rak is that classic no-frills Korean BBQ spot that's all about the meat and the vibes -- and honestly, I'm here for it. We came in hungry and left full and happy, thanks in large part to the auntys who run the floor like pros. From the moment we sat down, they made sure we had everything we needed -- showing us their own technique for grilling the meats, checking in constantly, and making sure nothing was missing. We ordered brisket, beef steak, galbi, and more -- solid quality across the board. The brisket was especially good, thin and perfect for a quick sear. The sides were tasty, though the bean sprouts were just okay (a little bland compared to the others). Our grill fire went out a few times -- kind of a buzzkill in the moment -- but the staff handled it quickly every time, so no complaints there. The ambience is what you'd expect: a little smoky, a little loud, and very straightforward. No fluff, no fusion, just good food and casual energy. Their kitchen wasn't running when we went, so it was all meats and sides -- but to be honest, that's all we needed. Will definitely be back when we're in the mood for that good old-school KBBQ fix. Parking is tough to find. You really gotta get lucky. The restaurant validates parking though so that's nice. Other than that, I'll definitely be back (again!)

    Today I got to try their soft tofu stew and it was only $11.95 and great. The side dishes also tasted great. The lady working there is so friendly and helpful.

    Walk in available for 6 on a Thursday night at 6:30 pm. It's BYOB so be sure to ice your fave alcoholic beverage to bring with you. If you need cups, bring your own. LOL. Dinner is $29.99 per person. They allow you to order 4 items from the menu at a time. Banchan serving is small but you can ask for more. They prob don't desire waste. If you need hot sauce, gochujung or ssamjang sauces, you'll need to ask for them. Items like corn cheese and lettuce leaves ($5 for 6 pieces) for wraps are additional. I suggest sticking to the marinated/spicy meats as they are softer. The short ribs & beef steak are chewy so you need to cut them diagonally. The pork belly (not the thin sliced pork belly) was thin and was dry when cooked. Be careful when grilling the spicy squid so you don't overcook it. I prefer squid steaks.

    I used to frequent Sikdorak, especially when I used to indulge in the night car scene, it was often the spot for folks to visit. My experience has always been just alright. The place felt like a hole in the wall but it is always popping around midnight. Unfortunately, after a few very negative experiences with the older lady servers, I decided to not give it another go. Here's a notable negative experience: I visited after starving all day, it was super busy so we had to wait a long time, around 30-50minutes but I was pretty much tweaking out by then. We were eventually seated and I was very excited only to be very let down by my entire experience. The lady continuously ignored us, it was very difficult for us to wave her down which felt weirdly intentional. I initially brushed it off but after several times of having nothing cooking because we weren't able to put an order in, we were very frustrated to say the least. This is petty but we decided that a tip was not deserved as we were barely given a service. After we paid and walked the lady chased one of us down and demanded a tip which is pretty crazy. I wasn't RIGHT there for it but I witnessed it happen in the car. Recently, I visited again, after not visiting for MONTHS. I just felt that I would rather go somewhere else that doesn't have such shaky service (I luv Sura btw). However, my experience was much better this time around. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful. The meat quality here is better than Suras in my opinion. However you just get the meats, rice, and banchan, the sides would be extra cost. We ordered lettuce wraps for an additional $5 but they forgot about it. I honestly just didn't want to bother the waiter as it felt like he was already doing his best. He realized 3/4th through my meal and asked if I still wanted it, I said that it was fine and to not worry about it. However he was still nice enough to bring it out on the house. Meats I ordered: - Beef Brisket, always a must order at kbbq places imo - Top Blade (Super tender, better than beef brisket surprisingly) - Short Ribs, flavorful and tender - (NEW) Octopus, sweet and spicy, my partner said it was too spicy for him but it was perfect for me and super good. - Pork belly: too fatty for me but it's pork belly so that's expected Personally, my opinion of sikdorak is still up in the air (which is better than before)... I am just concerned with the consistency of their service and that all of the sides are extra charge.

    Brisket and short ribs
    Cara M.

    Sikdorak is the perfect casual kbbq spot. It's no frills and a small menu but the service is quick and gets you in and out. The interior is casual and the menu is all over the walls with pictures which makes it easier to order. My favorites are the brisket, bulgogi, and spicy pork. The bulgogi and spicy pork is super flavorful and tender although it can take some time to cook. For the price I would definitely recommend! However if you're looking for a nicer night out there are probably other options.

The chicken was okay, but not something I'd order again. The spicy sauce was drenched all over the chicken and was very spicy.

We have also left two previous positive reviews because we've genuinely enjoyed the food and wanted to support this small business. Earlier this week, we ordered the bulgogi for our kids, but the meat was too chewy and tough making it inedible. Wanting to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt, we ordered the bulgogi again the following day and even requested it be cooked well done. Unfortunately, it had the same too chewy and tough texture, and again, could not be eaten. After feeding the kids something else, bathing them, and putting them to bed, I called the restaurant around 10:00 p.m., but they had already closed. I called the next day, and the owner (a lady with glasses) returned my call. Instead of listening to my concerns, she repeatedly interrupted me and spoke in a passive-aggressive, dismissive manner. I was on speakerphone with four other adults in the car, and everyone commented on how unhelpful and condescending the conversation felt. I explained that I wasn't calling simply to complain - I wanted to share feedback because we genuinely care about the restaurant and have supported it for a long time. I even mentioned that I had previously provided constructive feedback about the takeout bowls, which the restaurant later improved. Before I could finish, she cut me off and said, "We're not talking about the to-go bowls right now, are we? We're talking about your bulgogi." She insisted that if I wanted a refund, I needed to return to the restaurant in person, and that if something was wrong in the future, I should come back immediately so they could remake it. Unfortunately, that's simply not realistic for us. We're staying in a hotel with two young children, and the restaurant is about 40 minutes away. By the time we discovered the problem, got the kids settled, and called, making another round trip would have meant roughly 80 minutes of additional driving with tired, hungry children. I understand that mistakes happen, and I wasn't expecting perfection. What disappointed me most was how the concern was handled. This business does not value customer feedback and will never first listen respectfully, even from repeat customers who have consistently supported and recommended them. Sadly, based on this experience with both the food quality and the customer service, we won't be returning.
