Awesome KBBQ. Fresh meats - huge selection. Highly recommend Texas wagyu tongue and LA Galbi. Attentive service and fair prices. Also nice location in the heart of chinatown

Now my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ place to go to in Houston. The quality of the meats is fantastic. Our server was amazing. Such a wonderful selection of meats to choose from and it felt fairly priced to me. Lots of delicious banchan and appetizers. We had such a great time eating and talking here. My only qualm is that the music can get pretty loud so it’s a little hard to talk to people. We did ask to turn the music down and our server did happily accommodate which we appreciate.

I was very uncomfortable and irritated initially. It was my birthday, I’ve waiting for a long time, then another group of guests got table first. This alone would deserve 1 star from customer point of view. Y’all don’t even have reservations (I did called in, and your team said so) - and then other guests get to sit first while other people have to wait? Y’all food is always excellent and to the point. I love the place, but the way I was treated was not fair. I rated 5 stars, as the server David is really good. He took care of the table, noticed that our gas was out, drink was out, brought us the sauce and oil to dip, etc, while he trains the other server. I didn’t have to ask. Impressive guy.

My server Yailyn was awesome! Super helpful in suggesting meats, great cook too! I was greeted promptly and sat down quickly. The food came out in a timely manner and the meat was fresh and delicious. The brisket, beef belly and baby octopus was the food I stuffed my face with. Definitely coming back! I ate most of the food before I took pictures oops
