Good food and good service but sort of pricy. The ambiance was lacking as you can see the duct work above you. The servers were attentive and like other Korean BBQ places they serve ban chan( side dishes).

Came here mainly to try the beef tartare, and ordered the standard Korean BBQ. Interior design is nice, the booth setup gives you plenty of space and privacy. Service was really good, the BBQ is cooked for you, and dishes arrived quickly. The BBQ was typical Korean BBQ good - I can't say it's better than the half a dozen BBQ places in the area, but it wasn't bad. Biggest disappointment was the beef tartare: it was still near frozen and the texture was not great, it was also cut into very long strings like noodles and I did not love it the way I loved Korean beef tartare when I had them in LA's K-town. Overall a good experience but I would not order the beef tartare again.

We didn't go for the bbq this time, but got the seafood jeongol, assorted jeon, and jokbal & noodles (only remembered to take a pic of the seafood jeongol :/). The seafood jeongol was really good, especially the broth, although I wish it had more seafood (a bulk was mostly crabs). The jokbal is really thinly sliced which my family liked, but the noodles that came with it lacked a bit of flavor. We had 5 people and it was more than enough food. We will have to come back to try the bbq!

High quality meats and big enough menu for all of the kbbq staples. Got the Combo A for a party of 3 with some appretizers and was plenty enough for us. Servers were attentive, no complaints. Place seems new and clean. Theres even a handwashing station nearby and they give you a Yakult (probiotic drink) for dessert. Highly recommend this place. I'd likely go back for a special occasion.

New Korean BBQ that opened up a little over a month ago. Nestled at the end of an already busy shopping center. Be careful of tight spaces and the multitude of cars. The space is a lot bigger than expected and looks like some.parts are still being worked on. Otherwise, all is still very new and shiny. The bbq is fine. The cuts of meat, especially for the price, could be better quality. We were a little underwhelmed, but still came out full and satisfied. We came back a second time to try out other dishes like the galbijjim (I think it was labeled as beef steam galbi). Beef was tender and fell off the bones, but we all agreed that the sauce was very sweet. Service is excellent. Friendly and attentive. Shout-out to Cris for being an amazing server.

4.5 stars! Came here a couple weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised! We got the beef brisket and the pork belly which came with complimentary silky egg and soup. The soup was a little salty for our preference and the egg was a more omelette texture but loved that it came with the meats. The meats were so delicious and filling and the dipping sauces that it came with were choices ive never had before but absolutely loved. Our waitress also got us some lettuce to go with our meal which we were so happy to be provided with. Another star of the show was the fried dumplings. They were so flavorful and delicious that I would come back just for that. The side dishes were also all super yummy and I overall loved everything and the experience!

This place is right next to Tous Les Jours Korean bakery. It usually doesn't open on Sundays but they open for special occasions like Mother's Day and Father's Day. We made reservation but arrived about 10 minutes early and was seated right away. The place looked very spacy and clean. We ordered Combo A meal which comes with marinated beef, steak, unmarinated beef and brisket. Also ordered cold noodles (물냉면), spicy mixed cold noodles (비빈냉면), short rib soup (갈비탕), and seafood pancake (해물파전). Everything tasted delicious and the service was fantastic! Couple complaint about this place for us was that the seating was too far away from the table and was uncomfortable to be seating edge of the seat too long. Table and the seats couldn't be moved where we were sitting. They have their own brisket sauce which is green (spicy, sweet and tangy). It was good but I prefer typical brown sweet and tangy one most Korean bbq places serve. Lastly, parking is crowded and have to park a bit away from the restaurant but not that much of big deal. This place is definitely a good Korean BBQ option in the area.

New K bbq - excellent and tasty! It's mom's day today so place was super busy! Server Miki was very fast and peppy! Liked because we didn't reek of smoky meat afterwards! Hoods and fans powerful. Huge space with booths and not too noisy or chaotic Got beef combo A- melt in your mouth in each cut- served with teriyaki blanched onions- different but tasty. Got rice and lettuce leaves super quick to go with meat Bonchon a little different from other places nearby but all fresh and always free refills Can't wait to come back! Great addition to "Korean Way" on route 40!
