  Honestly I'm not sure what anyone has to complain about here. They offer a GREAT All-you-can-eat (AYCE) experience for less than the price of their full price menu.
  
  For anyone complaining about the 2 hour limit, I ask you...what the heck are you doing that you need to eat for more than 2 hours?!
  
  The service was great. The longest we waited was for our order to be taken, which wasn't that long. Our server checked on us several times, bringing us refills of the side dishes, and even helping us monitor the tricky chicken dishes. Although we never used it, there was also a service call button if we needed to flag them down.
  
  I noticed that many of the meats were less marinated than I've had at other KBBQ places, and I was fine with that. It gave us an opportunity to actually taste the difference between the meats without being overwhelmed by the sauce.
  
  The saucier dishes like the bulgogi and the spicy pork were saltier and packed with seasoned flavor. The drier dishes had good flavor in the meat itself. My favorite was probably the mild tripe and the brisket.
  
  I also enjoyed tasting a sample size of the gizzards...I've only ever had fried gizzards before, and these were a little more tender and gamier since they're grilled and not breaded. I might try a half order next time.
  
  We were so curious to know what joomooluk was...basically, in my opinion, a less tender and drier cut of meat than the brisket. Not bad, but I would go for more brisket next time instead.
  
  Although the chicken bulgogi was good, and cooked in foil to avoid cross contamination, I might avoid chicken options in the future just to save myself the anxiety of wondering if it is fully cooked.
  
  My favorite side dishes were the seaweed slaw, which had a great chewy crunch with a creamy flavor, and the kimchi radishes. I was tempted to buy a side of the seaweed slaw to take home! The kimchi had great flavor and was not as pungent as I'm used to, which I actually appreciate.
  
  Two AYCE with water was $60, I felt the service was above and beyond a standard 20% tip, and that's saying a lot for someone as frugal as me. Considering the price, this isnt something I would do on the regular, but I would definitely return for a special occasion.

  I'm not sure if the owner is aware of how the staff treats customers; hopefully he/she isn't involved in this restaurant's culture of treating customers like complete shit.  This was my second and last time coming here.
  
  The whole restaurant was empty, yet the waitress wanted us to sit at a small round table with another chair squeezed in.  We asked to be moved to another empty table and she fought us on it like we were asking for her mother's kidney.  
  
  I came here with my family of 5 adults and two kids and ordered 6 orders of Kalbi and other small dishes. Despite ordering $200 worth of meat, they refused to have both grills on at our table.  I asked the incompetent, lazy waitress how many orders do I need to make to get the second grill going, and her response was that they don't want to clean another grill for us.  She said this was their policy, yet she couldn't tell me what the "policy" was or how they decided whether both grills could be turned on.  So bottom line- we had to have cold, raw meat sit at our table while only one grill cooked enough meat for us to have 3 small pieces each.  We at our three pieces, then cooked for 10 minutes, then repeat; it was frustrating to say the least.
  
  The service included everything from slammed plates on our table to dropping raw meat on the table and putting it back in our dishes.  My wife asked the waitress twice if the sugar cane juice is made fresh, she says yes.  Then we see the other waitress pop open a can of juice and bring it to us.  When we told them to take it back because it wasn't fresh, the waitress that told us it was fresh has amnesia and didn't remember the conversation she just has 3 minutes ago. She angrily took it back and drank it herself. Then, to put insult over injury, comes the 18% mandatory gratuity.  
  
  I'm not sure why this place doesn't seem to understand that maybe, just maybe, their restaurant wouldn't be so empty if they would treat customers with some respect, and perhaps work on the staff's sanitary habits.  To the short, overweight woman who was picking her nose and scratching inside her shirt in open site while we were trying to enjoy our meal, this is definitely unacceptable, even in private (especially the way she was doing it).
  
  My advice is to just find another Korean BBQ place; if you have any dignity, don't ruin your evening/afternoon by coming here. Even if you are thinking how bad could the service be, read the other reviews and know these aren't uptight people that have crazy high expectations; the treatment is just that BAD!

  I have been going here pretty frequently because I feel like this place is a lot better than the other AYCE korean bbq in the suburbs. As I started to go there more, the service started to improve more and more frequently. My friends and I always ordered the brisket, beef bulgogi, steak joomoluk (sorry about my spelling), and pork sirloin. We never got the chicken because chicken is the cheapest meat and if we were spending $27 on AYCE... why get chicken?
  All the ladies that work there are old Korean moms. With that being said, they basically treat you like their kids and "mom" you thinking you can't cook your meat throughly or can cook overall.
  Yesterday, August 10th, 2019, My friends and I went to eat there and the workers we're frequently checking in on us asking if we needed more side dishes or meat.
  Once we got the paycheck, we paid with cards but didn't put any tip. I had cash and decided to hide it under a dish. When we were about to leave, one of the woman workers ran after us asking for a tip. We told them it was on the table. I'm definitely shocked from this experience because why would you run after someone for a tip. Tips are optional, we don't have to give them.
  Also, for AYCE kbbq for $27.... the meat should be more marinated and/or the korean mom's shouldn't be running after you for a tip.

  Found this place after doing some online searching for all you can eat Korean BBQ. This place is pretty easy to get to off the interstate and is worth the drive. The meat selection is a little smaller than others I have been to, but they have the essentials like bulgogi, pork belly and spicy pork and beef. I typically don't venture too far into the meats because I know the ones I like the best. Here the top choices were bulgogi,  brisket, spicy pork, pork belly, and the chicken. The sides were really good and flavorful. The rice was done perfectly. The service was really good as well. There was only two ladies that I saw and the place was half full, but they kept up and we're always friendly. Will definitely be back.

  We visited around 7pm on a Friday night and were swiftly greeted by a hostess. It wasn't really busy for a Friday night. I guess that should've been a sign.
  
  We ended up ordering the House Combo ($60) for a table of two. The Korean banchan (side dishes) were a little off. Maybe I'm not a very good Korean, but I feel like the whole meal would've been better if there was just some more sugar in the meat marinades. The meal was lackluster. I'm going to take the leftovers home and rework it like an episode of Chopped.
  
  The food was edible, service was decent, and the squid wasn't too bad. IMHO, the meal wasn't worth $80 (with tax and tip).
