First time eating at Jin Cook, Korean restaurant. Beautiful…read moreroom, excellent food. We ordered bulgogi and beef kalbi ribs--the ribs were especially tasty. The fried dumplings were out of this world. The banchan was wonderful. Our server, Sam, was professional and friendly. We will return and will recommend to friends.

came here while visiting family. 3 of us arrived around 2pm for a late lunch…read more we only ordered 2 items as we're not that hungry. beef bone soup and a bulgogi bowl. about 5 dishes of banchan (side dishes) were served along with a bowl of rice when the beef bone soup was served. the soup has a lot of beef slices and some noodles so we split it three ways. soup was flavorful, supposed to add your own salt to flavor but my mom and aunt thought it was good enough. beef slices are a little dry. I meant to order bibimbap hot stone with beef, but misunderstood the server and ordered bulgogi hot stone instead. the dish came with a bowl of rice in the middle and stir fried beef with onion around the rice on a hot stone dish. the beef was flavorful with a tinge of sweetness, but the meat was tough to chew on. The portion was big that the three of us can only finish 1/2 the order. the service was good as the server kept checking on us and added extra banchan and hot water on demand. price is average of $20+/dish as Korean food are always more expensive. our bill was ~$50.

Heat KBBQ by MGD Hollywood - From Meh to Must-Visit…read more We weren't impressed when Heat first opened--bland beef, spotty service, and a forgettable experience had us thinking it was a one-and-done. But after giving it a few more chances, we're glad we did. The food has improved dramatically--meats are now well-marinated and flavorful, service is prompt and attentive, and the overall vibe feels polished. It's gone from a shaky newcomer to our go-to KBBQ spot in town. If your first visit left you underwhelmed like ours did, give Heat a second shot. They've stepped it up in all the right ways.

The meats and veggies were very good, as well as the Korean Fried Chicken. Unfortunately, they were understaffed so we waited around 20 minutes for someone to come take our drink order, and it was 40 minutes before any meat arrived. They had one server for the entire restaurant. This affected our meal and we probably won't be coming back. The food was good but was not worth the very long wait. The best meats we tried were the flat iron steak and the beef brisket. The Korean Fried chicken was also great. We also had the mango soju pouch, which was very yummy as well. Overall, the service is what is lacking here, especially on major holidays. This would greatly improve the experience.

In the area, needing a bit of caffeine... so I decided on stopping by 118 Cafe…read more Menu here is so extensive that it was hard to choose on what to try. I decided on a fried ube snack and a milk tea with boba. My milk tea had a good amount of sweetness and quenched my craving for a little sweet, caffeinated beverage. The fried ube snack had only a hint of ube flavor and was freshly made to order. Everything here is priced point well, in comparison to other boba shops. Such a cute, kinda cozy local cafe shop with board games for customers and indoor seating. This cafe also sells crafts from local artists as well. Sorry I didn't take a pic of all the various items on sale here -but it's worth you coming out to check it all out. Located in a strip mall, tons of free parking.

I've truly never had a bad roll or a negative experience here. My go-to favorites are the Simi Roll (with goma sauce on the side), the Piano Roll, the Dynamite Roll, and the Spicy Shrimp Hand Rolls. If you're dining in, the complimentary miso soup is such a nice bonus and always hits the spot. Highly recommend if you're looking for some fresh sushi and excellent service!

Now that I'm home, I've realized the entire order is still incorrect-and I paid more than what I actually received. I take responsibility for not checking before leaving, but after that kind of delay, this level of inaccuracy feels careless and unacceptable. It doesn't reflect much attention to detail or care for the customer experience. Really disappointing, especially because I've been wanting to support this place as a local spot.

Came back here a few months later for lunch & boy am I glad that I did…read more First & foremost, I have to shout-out Arllany for being an absolute gem of a human being. From greeting us the moment we walked-in, taking-care of my table throughout the course of the meal, to seeing us on our way out. I never once felt like we were in need of anything as she was always on top to check-in on us & made sure that we were more than comfortable. If the management is reading this, please recognize Arllany for her outstanding contribution to customer service + satisfaction & consider gibing her a raise. She is a definite asset to your team. For having never met her before, her unmatched hospitality will definitely be the reason why I come back. FOOD PREMIUM ALL YOU CAN EAT - LUNCH - $33.95 The interesting thing is that you can more than get by on their base tier (1 of 2). I would make the argument that they have more selections at their base tier than some places have at their highest tier. Salad - 8.9 / 10 *NOTE* You have to ask for this as it is not automatically brought to you. I admit that I salad is never usually my go-to at an AYCE Kbbq spot. That said, we finished this because it absolutely complements the copious amounts of meats. I appreciate that they use high quality mixed greens. To me, the kicker is the salad dressing. It's a classic sweet + sour Asian inspired dressing that reminds me of the place where I first had kbbq as a kid. 100% ask for this salad (comes with all AYCE options). Seasoned Beef Boneless Short Rib - 9.5 / 10 My absolute favorite cut. We ordered multiple. In fact, if I was only allowed 1 cut of kbbq to order, this would be the one. This was so incredibly tender yet hearty. The marinade is not-so-sweet. Bulgogi - 9.0 / 10 You can never go wrong with a bulgogi. The quick-cooking marinaded thin beef. What I love is that there's no gristle or chewy fat. Crispy Fried Calamari - 8.5 / 10 I usually don't order fried appetizers, but this was a welcome addition. The 3 giant rings are a big bigger & hence, chewier than I prefer. But delicious nonetheless. The mayo-based sauce that come with this is suite memorable with just the nice amount of kick. Steamed Egg - 8.8 / 10 Moreso a tribute to a buddy of mine who always orders this, the steamed egg came-out perfectly piping-hot. It was still cooking / steaming as it was brought to our table = this is exactly what I want. The egg was just the right amount of fluffiness from the hot water. It provided such a nice, soft textual contrast to the entire meal. Fried Pork Dumplings - 8.9 / 10 I really appreciate that these come included in the base tier AYCE. It's the welcome pork addition to my meal. The accompanying soy sauce is the salty component that my palate needed. The gyoza were not too chewy & were fried + steamed just right. I'd order more if my stomach would allow. These were done better than other places that serve them. Beef Top Sirloin - 9.0 / 10 Simple. Un-marinated. You get a thick, size-able piece here. The take-away is the quality. Easily a piece that would shelve out a pretty penny for at the grocery store. The trick here is to cook along-side your marinated meats. Decently marbled cut with a nice, thick piece of fat attached on the side. Pro-Tip: Cut off this thick piece of fat & let it render on the cook-top so as to provide a layer of lubrication + beefy flavor to all your other meats as you cook. Sliced Ribeye Beef - 9.0 / 10 Like seasoned boneless short rib but not marinaded. Sometimes it's nice to have your favorite cut offered without marinade just so that it can soak-up the excess marinade from the other cuts. Quality. Meaty. Huge, singular piece. Beef Short Plate (Beef Belly) - 8.9 / 10 A very nice blend of meat + fat. The texture is the most pleasant fatty chew & unique of all the options that we ordered. Banchan You get 3 here. I'm ok with that because I'd rather fill my precious stomach space with delicious meat. Nothing out of the norm but they get the job done. Bean Sprouts - 8.0 / 10 Not overly-watery. Light, crunchy. Picked daikon - 8.2 / 10 Crisp, refreshing. With just the right amount of sour pickle flavor. I like the nice pink color. Kimchi - 8.4 / 10 I do prefer this more cut-up kimchi. This is the spice / heat that I want in my kbbq meal. Rice paper - 8.7 / 10 Not overly oily. Perfectly chewy. Fresh. Bonus points for having rice paper - not all places have it. You do have to ask for it, but that's perfectly fine. Again, I see why this place is so incredibly popular for dinner. But if you want to avoid the crowds, this is such an underated gem of a restaurant for lunch. I will definitely be coming back for the plentiful food choice options of their base tier (especially their appetizers). The service is quite exceptional because of warm, hospitable staff like Arllany + Elizabeth! A++

On 11.1.2025, I had my First Taste/Experience of Traditional Korean BBQ where not only was I the…read moreCustomer, but I was also the Chef. Yeah, by the time we were all done with our All You Can Eat Feast, I had everyone at our table acknowledging me with, Yes Chef! ;) And when it was time to pay the bill... I was also the Bankroller, The Benefactor, The Meal Ticket and my little Citi Bank Costco card took the tab like a champ! Yeah, $257 Big Ones for 4 adults with adult Bevies, including tip for a meal that I literally cooked myself. At first, I was a little taken back, but after doing my research, I completely understood the reasons why K-BBQ costs what it does. So why is Korean Bbq so pricey you ask, especially since you are the one doing the actual cooking? Well according to Google... Premium Quality Meats, Labor Intensive Preparation, Imported Ingredients from the Motherland, aka Korean Spices, etc., and of course the Specialized Cooking Equipment.... All of this contributes to the hefty price per person, not to mention, it is AYCE after all. So I guess $257 isn't really all that crazy when you think about it, as long as you get your moneys worth. Being that it was my wife and I's first time here, and that my wife's sister & husband are regulars, we let them take charge and do all of the ordering. From the Premium All You Can Eat section, we went balls to the wall and ordered everything under the sun. A little Pork Fried Dumpling, some Fried Vegetable Egg Rolls, Marinated Tofu, Kimchi, and what seemed to be endless amounts of Beef, Pork, Chicken and Shrimp kept flowing to our table. Not gonna lie, We definitely did some damage. The presentation of all of the appetizers, sauces and extras was definitely intriguing, especially to a first timer (Me), but it wasn't until all of the proteins started rolling out until I really got excited. Rolled Beef Brisket, Sliced Ribeye, Beef Bulgogi, Chicken Bulgogi, Pork Bulgogi, Shrimp... All cooked by me, right at our table, with no formal Korean BBQ Training... And it actually got me thinking... That I just might be ready to take on Bobby Flay! Haha. Service was good and our server checked in with us regularly making sure to change out the Cooking BBQ Plate a few times over the course of our meal as the high heat and marinade juices on the meat left the Cooking Plate scorched after a few rounds of barbecuing our meats. All in All it was a good experience, and we will for sure come back, but more than likely only for special occasions. For beginners, like myself, I definitely recommend you read their restrictions on the All You Can Eat (AYCE) portion of the menu so you know what to expect. Now Have fun and go get your Janchi on!
