    The food is great and also the service. The staff there named Sang Hee is super nice and we like her so much! She served us with a smile and so welcoming vibes. She also
    Made sure that our drinks is refilled and we are satisfied with the food. And if we need something she's always happy to help.

    This used to be a nice AYCE Korean barbecue place...However, their quality has dropped over the years while raising their prices...

    We came here recently for a delicious Korean BBQ dinner. I was really impressed by how the staff set us at ease, it being the very first time that we visited this location. Sure the decor was dated, but the food was absolutely delicious: the meat that was marinated was great and was easy to cook on the grill. The sides were fabulous as well and I really loved the seaweed soup. The tofu made a great appetizer while we cooked our meat and veggies. As always I loved the bean sprouts.

    Staff changed our grill often. When I requested additional napkins, they were quickly offered. We sat and chatted and drank tea for hours after our meal and never felt unwelcomed in the mostly empty restaurant. We'll definitely return. This was absolutely wonderful. I'm rather pleased that we discovered this location: we'll certainly be back. It may cost a bit more than a regular meal out, but the price is worth it for the food and the service. Additionally, fruit is available for dessert, and a couple of hours of free karaoke is an option after your meal (we didn't take advantage of this but we certainly could in the future.

    The food was incredible and there was so much to choose from!  I loved that it was setup Buffett style so we didn't have to keep ordering food to the table. Its a great place to go with a big group or just 1 or 2 people. The staff were also very friendly.

    If you can eat a lot, it's worth it. It was $36 per head for all you can eat and unlimited drinks. The place isn't fancy, it's a little outdated but it is clean. So no problem with that. No boiling pot for you to make soup but they have soup ready if you do want one.

    There was quiet a selection, raw meat, raw seafood, pre-cooked mussels, vegetables, soups, plain steamed rice or fried rice and more. We were given hot sauce and ginseng sauce as dipping sauce but I wish there was an option to customize your dipping sauce (reason why I rated it 4 star).

    The grill top was changed frequently and if you do feel like it's getting too dark then you can just ask to get it changed. The servers had no problem with that. They all cooked pretty fast as most of them are thinly sliced so you're not going to starve if you're already hungry haha
