The barbecue tastes very good, and the waiters will help with the barbecue. If you like Korean barbecue, this is undoubtedly the best place to go.
If you want Korean BBQ you need to try this place out! Must try!! Honestly this place isn't a fancy place but it's like one of those places korean people would go after having a rough day and destress. I've been coming back to this place for countless times already. Try their galmegi sal (갈매기살) and makchang (막창)
Oh so good food, fresh vegie and meat. Unlimited side dish and the price is just right. We keep coming back here and will never get tired of it.
The vibes and atmosphere is very Korean, not your typical samgyup! The food is authentic, good food!
Not your common korean bbq. The side dishes, sauces and the soup that goes with your bbq are better compared to most korean bbqs around the metro considering prices. The meat are very much fresh, too, not frozen. The place is like your side street place to go to for good drink and a good laugh.
