We had the ultimate all you can eat, food taste good as always. The garlic fried rice is good. The beef tone has a very unique taste, in a good way, meat is fresh. The dessert option (mochi) in the ultimate option is nothing special. The senior discount is very reasonable. Only thing is we have 10 people and are separated to two adjacent table. When we order each meat we had it double, but instead of bringing two plates with same thing to two table, the double order were combined in one plate. As a result each table end up with one type of meat double amount, instead of able to try two meat. Maybe this can be improved

Pretty great food. Beyond great service. This was our first visit. This was a unique concept. Each table has a built-in gas grill. They bring out plate after plate of raw beef, pork, chicken and shrimp. The server tells you what each plate is and how long to cook it. Then you cook it on the grill at your table. Delicious AND fun. Plus they served a delicious salad, some fantastic starters and a delicious noodle dish (like Pad Thai). For dessert, they brought out s'mores. We roasted the marshmallows on the grill at the table. All and all, a GREAT experience. My only suggestion would be to have some type of written/printed list of what all was on the table and how long to grill each item. It was WAY too much to keep track of. I really enjoyed the experience and the food.

We love bbq 🤤 We got "Meat Lovers" with a prime kalbi $5 upgrade. I don't think I've ever had short ribs that melt like butter in my mouth 🤯. Everything was so delicious!! 💯

This location is becoming a regular date night spot & our go to for bringing visitors from out of town. Not only is the food amazing, the service is great, and the experience is so fun! Highly recommend coming during happy hours (2-5 i think?) because the food is so much cheaper! We loveeeee this place!

Fist of all, read this before u go there! Park in the garage at P5 level of the Kenwood Collection or in the parking lot behind Macys. Take an elevator/escalator to R2! MY EXPERIENCE. I think this restaurant caters to an American audience that enjoys burgers and caesar salad. The portions are American big! And the Chef's Choice (90$ for 2) course has some weird combinations - Caesar salad with different meats and pork doesn't work well together. Unfortunately, I thought that the Chef's Choice would be something unique and special, but it was just a name and marketing ploy. The dishes didn't match well and doesn't taste well together! FOOD We made an unlucky choice with the combo- Chef's Choice (90$ for 2) course. The Korean beef bibimbap didn't match well with the Caesar salad. And it was just rice with some pieces of meat, and plain white rice would have been a better choice for Asian BBQ. Overall, it was okay. TIP: DONT BUY COURSES! JUST BUY SINGLE ITEMS! I might give it another chance and try ordering à la carte, particularly the fine meat: WAGUE, KOBE (will update this list next as im nor sure what they have)! And yes, no sushi with meat! The restaurant tried to be creative, but sushi is sushi! So far 6/10. SERVICE In terms of service, our waiter wasn't very attentive. However, the cleaning lady was helpful in removing empty plates. When she brought us our dessert and bill, she didn't clean the mess and we were left with ice cream on a full table with empty dishes. It wasn't a pleasant experience. That being said, I saw some other waiters, such as Leo and a guy with short hair, who were very professional and welcoming. They served their tables well. INTERIOR & CLEANECE As for the interior of the restaurant was like any normal Asian restaurant, nothing special. However, since we're not in Asia, it felt authentic. Everything was clean, including the tables, fire stations, and toilets. I would give it a 9/10 for cleanliness.

Great experiences and love the taste of the food! The all you can eat option is apparently only available during the weekdays. Reserve your table ahead of time especially if you're coming on a weekend! The assortments are usually what my friends and I go for to try everything and the cards at the table really help to know how long to cook items off the menu.

I was very surprised about everything at this place. The quality of the meet is great, the idea is unique the portions are great and price is good for the quality and the experience, this is definitely the best Japanese bbq I’ve been to. My only negative point is the service, our waitress wasn’t very rude and she obviously didn’t want to be there. She barely interacted with us and when she did she didn’t know enough to answer any questions. All in all I would still highly recommend trying this place out if u are in the area.
