Koreantown never disappoints when I have a craving for Korean food. I appreciate that I get to choose my experience (left side: dining room, right side: self serve BBQ). I only had an hour for dinner, so I picked the left side. The server was very patient my questions and helped me with my final decisions. I ordered a seafood pancake, tofu stew with beef, and bibimbap with pork. All are so flavorful. The beef was a bit tough for my mom, but I was okay with it. The side dishes were all too pretty to touch haha! Tips: go with clothes you are willing to wash right away after you get home and on your hair wash day. Although I wasn’t seated at the BBQ side, I left smelling greasy and with bbq aroma.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. It was an unexpected happy surprise! The food is delicious and the service is great. They are very attentive and prompt. We especially enjoyed the chicken and bulgogi beef. They also brought the table a variety of condiments that complement the meal. Overall an excellent experience, we’ll be returning and highly recommended it !

After watching so many K drama I wanted to have a nice Korean food and found this Koreatown Restaurant. The atmosphere was inviting with a lively yet comfortable vibe. The service was friendly and attentive. Since it was my first time here, the server was so helpful by explaining the menu items. The standout was the bulgogi which was perfectly seasoned and tender. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu.

Stopped by here for food by chance. It had 4.5 stars on Google and was close. Love me some Korean BBQ after living in The Republic of Korea previously. ???????? First off....yikes...food has become expensive! This is probably just normal, but i had a bit of sticker price shock. Very likely just a normal thing these days. Atmosphere was great! The staff was SUPER NICE and helpful! We ordered the Beef Combo. We got the ribeye, brisket, and Kalbi. I did not expect a small, thin ribeye steak to show up...but it did. The Kalbi came pre-cooked and we cooked our brisket and ribeye. It was good, but definitely not like i remembered from my time in the ROK. It came with the normal sides. In Korea, the sides were included. They are included in the combo here.....but like I said...yikes! If you get just the meat, sides are around $8 each......... In the end, it was filling and a good walk down memory lane. Wish I was able to get a CASS and Soju...but had to drive so I went with a soda. I think this place would be some good times with friends...as long as you have some extra cash. For me, I think I'll look for other places to compare before returning. This place is worth a try at least if you want some Korean BBQ. Grilled Kimchi is a must! And yes, the food was tasty!

The food was great! We ordered from the appetizer menu- kimchee pancakes, corn, and tteokbokki. For the main course we ordered bibimpap in hot stone, spicy pork belly, and kalbi. It would have been nice if we were served the appetizers first. Instead, everything was served at the same time after waiting for over 20 minutes. Overall it was a great experience, friendly staff and clean restaurant.

This restaurant is my 11 year old son's favorite. He loves their fried chicken, beef Bulgogi,dumplings among other food. We go there like every week or sometimes twice. Food is always delicious, service is excellent, ambiance is great. We highly recommend them.

Came here a few times, and i can say i did enjoy coming here. The portions are big and the food is always tasty, they also have alcohol and offer the fishbowl drinks but make sure you have enough people to share cause they are huge!
