Service: the staff is very friendly and they help you grill everything to perfect as well! Food: I went with my girly, and we ordered the combo S Hondae favorite. The portion is enough and with good quality of meats, soup and rice. It was a pity that no lettuce comes with the set as a typical Korean style. The japchae we order on the side is a really huge portion. Ambiance: chic and clean. Never understand why Korean BBQ restaurants never have a range hood, and finally found one here! Good for all sizes of parties, but definitely not suitable to have quality conversations due to the noise.

Been here a few times and overall, it is solid. Just make sure you make reservations ahead of time because it can get really busy here for dinner. We've had the Hodong's favorite combo and the small is plenty of food between me and my husband. One of our favorite items to get is the brisket cast iron fried rice. We usually are too full to finish the fried rice but it's great as leftovers. I would also recommend the beef tartare. It's one of the few places around here that I think makes it well. The two servers we've had that made our last 2 visits enjoyable were Billy and Phat. They were attentive to the food and cooked the meats well. Phat refilled our rice paper and checked on us if we were slowing down our pace with eating. We once had a server who cleared the meat off the grill and threw it away instead of putting the meat to the side. She was distracted with some other customer but that was still a big turn off during my first visit here. The price is a little higher for kbbq but I think its worth it for the quality and quantity for the combo sets, and just having someone else cook for you. Just remember to dip your meat in the salt and sauces.

Good quality meat and banchans. The kimchi stew on the side was also very good. It’s usually pretty busy so try to reserve ahead of time. Pretty pricey for what you get though, especially quantity wise, but a decent alternative if you’re craving kbbq and don’t want to stink up your place.

Great meat quality and extremely friendly service. The unmarinated short rib and brisket were my favorites. Preferred the beef more than the pork in general. Seafood pancake was unique with crispy noodly bits and a strong seafood flavor. The kimchi and soybean stews were also very nice. Large restaurant that was able to accommodate our gathering full of kids/babies. Looking forward to come back.

Traditional non-AYCE KBBQ spot with quality meats. Slightly overpriced meat justified by its richness, fattiness, and tenderness. I was surprised at how fast I was getting full after eating a few bites of meat. The soy sauce that was provided complimented the greasiness of the meat very well. The sides were average in my opinion – nothing stood out. The corn cheese came with more corn than cheese and the egg was slightly salty. The seafood pancake was overcooked and too crispy in my opinion. The japchae was great but would have loved to have more noodles and meat instead of veggies. The service was great – everything is cooked by the staff to the rarity of you choosing. Only caveat is you can’t choose the order of the meats you eat as it is predetermined based on what you order. Ended up waiting for about 20 minutes for dinner time on a Friday which is not too bad of a wait. Would definitely choose to go to AYCE KBBQ instead to eat to my heart’s content.
