We (2 people) went to here had beef combo small size bbq on labor day 2021. Wow I have to say this is my favorite Korean bbq place so far. I never feel enough satisfied with the meat by it own in most Korean bbq restaurants, I need to eat their eggs or soup or free sides dishes to make up for the whole meal usually. I am surprised of their meat we really enjoyed the 3 kinds of beef equally this time, they are tender and delicious. The women who grilled the meat was doing a great job! we chose seafood soup in the combo, we like it, clams are many. We also added a soup “dry cabbage (Napa) beef ribs soup 14ish and enjoyed it, the soup also come with one rice so we split it which is good. We also like the steamed eggs in the combo, the only thing we don’t like is their kimchi (Napa one) side. But that doesn’t really matter, we are very full already. To be noticed, this is CASH TIP ONLY. We will definitely come back to try their pork combo.

Very good korean bbq, traditional style. The ribeye is excellent. You barbecue at the table. Can get busy on weekends. I came back after almost 2 years. It is, still consistently good. The bbq is with charcoal at the center of the table. BYOB, good table service. The seafood frittata is excellent. Price is moderate, but went up recently. Parking is easy. I added more pics in August 2023.

I love this place! The people are very friendly and the food is fantastic and full of Korean flavors. They cook the meat at your table on hot coals! There are only a few Korean places left that will cook using this method at your table and it makes all the difference in the world! This is a must if you like Korean food! The Resturant is also BYOB! Enjoy!

UPDATED, again: It's still our go-to in the area, and everything has improved from the former transition (below). The atmosphere is: K-Pop... but who cares, the food is delicious, and they work hard at serving you. ------------------------------------ New owners, my review has changed... I'm saddened, this was my favorite k bbq place. Still pretty good, but not what it used to be.

Was driving from Philadelphia to New York City and was so happy to find an authentic Korean restaurant without having to go to Fort Lee. We got the two best cuts of beef and they were both so good. Loved that they’re cooked for us on a charcoal grill, feel that’s rare now. The banchan was plentiful and delicious, especially the kimchi. Would’ve gotten the batches they’re selling if I was going home. Place is run by a lovely Korean couple.

You may surprise to meet robot is delivering your all side dishes, Nice , clean, and friendly restaurant. They are selling handmade variety of kimchi in the container or bottle. Kimchi helps you digest and produce lots of good minerals in the body.

Simple, great food & owners! A ton of yummy banchan as well. We bought samjang and kimchi from this establishment as they were priced well and nothing beats homemade.
