    The best deal around! I have been here many times for the $14.99 lunch special of AYCE Korean bbq. As my coworker described it, it's like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, because it doesn't look like much but it's a whole new world inside! It's clean, spacious, and has lots of different options for meat and veggies. You cook it yourself and can load up your plate with whatever you want!

    Our server gave us lots of different sauces to try, rice paper, and lettuce to wrap as well. There are also many types of rice, cooked noodles, and a few types of sushi. Everything is delicious and fresh, and what I really appreciated is that they changed out our grates multiple times for fast cooking.

    You can't beat the price, and I think if you try this place you'll be pleasantly surprised! I recommend the sesame oil sauce as an added flavor!

    I've visited this kbbq spot in the past and they are good enough for me to come back. If you are craving kbbq, this spot will satify your craving. I'm giving this a 3 star for the following reasons:

    1. The seat was sticky from all the smoke and grease. I'd recommend not wearing shorts so you don't feel the sticky-ness in your legs. This would be a quick fix - as simple as wiping down the seat booths.

    2. In my opinion, I'd like the grill to be placed a little lower than the table level. I felt awfully close to the grill while eating and I was worried about my eyebrows burning off, lol.

    3. The meat quality isn't the best nor is it the worst.

    I will say that I love this place - as it is a buffet style ayce kbbq spot. As a small girl, I can't always eat the most so it's nice that we are able to grab our own meat to ensure I don't waste food. The buffet style is also great because they offer a variety of side dishes that pair well with kbbq. I'll review a few of the side dishes:

    - fish cake 5/5 I absolutely love fish cakes so I was happy they had this! It tasted great.
    - japchae 2.5/5 I usually love japchae but this was lacking cooked-ness and flavor.
    - spicy tofu soup 2.5/5 Although the soup looked like it was packed with flavor, I wasn't happy with it.
    - bean sprouts 4/5 normal tasting bean sprouts.
    - tamago 2/5 this was a little dry and lacked flavor.
    - cucumber salad 2/5 I like when the cucumbers are a little more crisp and flavorful.
    - rice paper 5/5 can't go wrong.

    The service was really good. All of the workers were really nice and helpful. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to others.

    HANDS DOWN THE BEST KOREAN BBQ IN TOWN !!

    I always recommend this spot to all my family and friends. I try to come here when ever I'm in town weather it be for lunch or dinner.
    Yes, prices are quiet high for dinner but lunch is your best bet to save some $$.

    This place definitely deserves 5 stars! The staff are very helpful and attentive when it comes to switching out your burnt grill and keeping drinks filled. The variety of different selections on the buffet were great as well at a reasonable ayce price. Most of the food I had was flavorful and when eating kbbq I love pairing it with lettuce wraps and rice which they offer both conveniently on the buffet. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in the area

    I love this kbbq place so much, because it's self serve. I don't really mind waiting for a server to bring our meats but with this, it's at your own convenience. They have way more sides than you expect, and even desserts at the end!

    The 'servers' always come by our table to check on drinks or ask for a grill change, and are super sweet and attentive.

    The prices on a weekday and before dinner is like $12/person is well worth your money. The taste is a little above average.
