We had Korean BBQ, cold noodles as well as makgeolli which is korean rice wine. The quality of the food was amazing! All parties have to be there if you want seated. You are allowed to refill the side dishes once.
Good visuals but everything is so blend. Don't get the tofu soup, not salty nor seafood-ie. bbq is somewhat same price as any korean bbq, $30 per plate and 2 plate minimum to start.
We have been here many times over the past ten years. However, in the takeout order we brought back home today, there was a dead beetle (or cockroach?) inside the soup. It was disgusting we all threw up our foods and are reporting this to the division of health inspections. This restaurant has gone down in quality and clearly someone is not maintaining the kitchen in a reasonably clean and healthy manner. We will not be returning here in the foreseeable future. This was unacceptable. We pray that we don’t get sick and that others also stay safe.
Really good service.

Went with a couple friends and split a couple things from the BBQ menu and a couple appetizers. The food was phenomenal, and the BBQ right on your table was pretty great. Pretty much everything we got was delicious. One thing I really liked about this place was the wait staff loaded the grill and flipped it for us, which I am always a huge fan of due to my poor cooking skills. Only downsides are the wait can get pretty long and there's no dedicated parking. Overall a fantastic dining place.
From the moment we entered the store, the skinny waiter served me as if we owed him money.
It doesn't matter if the food is a little more expensive, the important thing is that I drove for more than an hour just to have a good time, but the waiter may not like you to have a good time, he just wants you to order more and pay more.
As an Asian, we actually know how to roast meat, but he put it all in at once, burned some, bloodied some and turned it off the fire for us to eat. If we can't eat, please teach us, but we can, please let me take care of myself and not be like a savage

Reluctant to re-visit Koreana after a subpar dining experience here a few years back despite being minutes walking from home. Second time around, the place is still the same, but food improved. Especially the raw beef sashimi appetizer was very refreshing since it was sliced from frozen meat. Rice cake in my kimchi soup was a pleasant surprise since not many Korean restaurants do that, although I did wish there were more tofu in the soup. Also, the soup bowl with fuel to light up with to keep it hot and boiling was very nice as well. Response from other dining mates of their dishes were positive as well.
I’d say the verdict has definitely changed for the better, and it’s worth trying if you live close by.

Great Korean place.
I was stunned to taste that amazing pork they served - one of the best seasoned pork I've ever had.
Few good highlights: they have a big menu, so lot of choices.
They have great ambience, ideal for corporate as well as personal meals.
The service was quick, we did not need to wait for them to change the burners and the meat cooked in it.
One small thing, which restaurants pay less attention to is, please try to keep restrooms ultra-clean, if not, it adds up to be a reason one might not perfectly like your place.
Apart from that, I found everything was great and I highly recommend this place.
