I had an incredible time at this Korean BBQ spot! The quality of the meat was top-notch—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The marinades were perfectly balanced, and grilling everything right at the table made the experience even more fun. The side dishes (banchan) were fresh, varied, and constantly refilled, which made the meal feel generous and satisfying. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help with the grill or bring extra sides. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, perfect for both friends and family gatherings. Overall, this place delivers on flavor, service, and experience. Definitely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ!

Best service I've had in a long time. I forgot our server's name but it was a woman. Food was great and the robot was great also. Great selection, everything was good and the sauces and broths were fire!!! I can't wait to go again and take others.

This place was so much fun! The service was fantastic and the food was great. Many many options. Everyone in my group had a great time. I loved watching the little robot deliver drinks.

So so so disappointed... will be going back for a partial refund. This was my first time ordering here and I was excited because of the good reviews. My plate was fine but my partners plate was green? What is this..?? This is too much green.

Visited here for lunch. Tried both bbq and hotpot. Hotpot is $5 more than bbq, they have quite a variety of meat choices for both bbq and hot pot. Service was excellent. We really enjoyed bbq and hotpot.

Server Darren was excellent and helpful. The food was flavorful. The pork bone broth is best choice for hotpot. It’s worth an hour and 20 minute drive from Merced

My husband and I have been here twice, and they were both great experiences! The first time we came for lunch (the price was so worth it!) And the second time we came for dinner ( a little more expensive but we both think it was worth it). We were seated and served really fast both times. Both waitress were attentive but our last waitress Kiminy was amazing and so funny. They also have other foods at the side like fried chicken and onion rings and ofc kimichi and a bunch of other stuff. They even have desserts lol and they make boba drinks so def a plus! by far this is our favorite kbbq spot!

Absolutely loved this place! The quality of the meats was top-notch—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly marbled. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and they were quick to help explain anything we weren’t familiar with. The side dishes were constantly refilled without us even asking, and every single one was delicious. The grill setup was clean, and they changed out the grates often, which made a huge difference. Price felt reasonable for the amount and quality of food we got. Definitely left full and happy. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Korean BBQ and great service. Will absolutely be back!

Family of 4 (2 adults & 2 kids) came in for dinner on a Saturday. We were seated within 5 minutes and it was our first time. The server Kim was super informative and had patience with us as we were figuring out if we wanted to do hot pot, bbq, or both for an extra charge of $5 per person. We chose hot pot. The items came out a lot faster than we expected since we took turns going to the sauce bar and sides bar to retrieve more items. I got the flavor Szechuan spicy, and the other flavors were pork bone broth. Both soups were flavorful. I love that the sauce bar had recommendations of at least 4 sauces to dish up. The only downside was part of the sides bar which included chicken nuggets & fries, you could tell it wasn't as fresh and had been sitting under the lamp since the texture of the nuggets or fries were hard. Parking was spacious. The inside was pretty busy since it was a weekend but the music was upbeat and overall great experience!

K-town Korean barbecue was such a great experience! Even though it's an all you can eat Korean BBQ and hot pot, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! The buffet selections were awesome too. Thankful that I don't need to drive to Bay Area or Sac if I'm craving for kbbq and hotpot. Surprisingly all meat was delicious. Has lot of selection for sauces with recipe!! We will definitely return!

Pretty basic Korean BBQ spot -- nothing special, but it's close by in the valley. I usually go to one in Elk Grove, but decided to try K-Town for my birthday. You can choose between hot pot or grill (hot pot is about $5 more). We stuck with the grill. Meat selection is basic -- the priciest cut is the Galbi short ribs, which I ordered, plus lots of sides. They don't have Korean gochujang paste, but there's a cold/hot food bar, especially for hot pot diners. Honestly, the warm appetizer bar didn't look great -- the only things I grabbed were fresh fries and onion rings. Now, the birthday promo: their website says free meal on your birthday with a party of 4+, but our server only offered 10% off. I had to go back and forth twice, show my ID, and remind them I called ahead. They finally honored the free birthday meal, but my advice -- print the coupon from their website so you don't have to argue. Overall, it's fine for a local BBQ fix, but I'd probably stick to my Elk Grove spot unless I'm in the area.

Very cuuuute spot near the shopping mall. Found myself there for clothes and it was conveniently close by to go. Very open space and room for different size parties. They have all you can eat options for either hot pot or bbq. My family went in for the bbq option. Love that there is a bar for some side dishes or add ons. They even gave ideas for dipping sauces. Our server Alex was very thorough and explained what was for lunch and dinner. Explained that boba, tea, and milk tea drinks were additional (no refills). That way we weren't surprised for the bill. Went in and spent about an hour. Also loved that their bot helped to drop drinks off. Such a cute add on! Just wished they gave probiotic yogurts after having our fill.

Well my first but CERTAINLY Not last time being to a Korean all you can eat BBQ. I was amazed! The meat they had?! INCREDIBLE we had like sooo many different kinds, garlic shrimp, a couple types of steak, garlic chicken, cheese mussels, cheese CORN (which was shockingly delicious) and they had kind of a buffet of things you can add to your dinner! Some were premade and I guess you can also make your own soup at some tables but we definitely wanted to try the meat!! For around 30$ an adult seems like a steal to me! Of course not taking home leftovers I'd always the biggest bummer but hey it's only fair. My favorite was probably the Hawaiian cut of steak as well as the shrimp. I had two helpings!!! I got some of their peanut sauce and teriyaki sauce at their buffet with sides and such and it was SO delicious!!! Oh did I mention they have boba and bubble tea?! Talk about delicious because OMG so many options we got to choose from!! The service was wonderful our server was so nice, professional, and QUICK! I didn't get his name but he had a bunch of really cool tattoos and he was the best!!! I love how they are so on top of it and go out of their way to make sure you're well taken care of! The ambience is extremely nice! It's definitely busy but well put together, the decor of this restaurant is beautiful! I had to take a pic of their grass wall as well as their little things around that made it so nice!! We will absolutely be back and now that I have an idea how it works I will DEFINITELY know what to order and how much!! This place is IT!!

I have visited K-Town Korean BBQ & Hot Pot in Stockton, CA a total of two times so far. I came back to this restaurant recently on Tuesday, 2/18/25, around 12:30 PM. Upon arrival, I was seated immediately. I decided to opt for the AYCE Hot Pot option at the lunch price of $23.99. The price point presented a great deal. For the hot pot soup base, I ordered the Miso Soup. I added the following ingredients: Sliced Pork Belly, Sliced Beef Belly, Sliced Lamb, Crab Meat, Udon Noodles, Broccoli, Shrimp Balls, Lobster Balls, Beef Balls & Bok Choy. The hot pot dish was pleasantly flavorful. I added the K-Town House Sauce to enhance the taste. It was also great for dipping purposes (veggies & meat). In terms of the sides, I got the steamed egg and rice. They were both super good too. For the beverage, I tried the Crazy Fruit Green Tea and added Strawberry Popping Boba. I loved the addition of the fresh fruit. I highly recommend ordering one of the fruit teas, or even trying other selections such as smoothies, lemonades, and milk teas from the menu. All of the choices looked very delicious. The restaurant's ambiance was modern and inviting. I loved the decorations throughout the entire restaurant. The dining area, bar area, and bathroom were all visually clean. Even during lunchtime, the overall environment was quiet and peaceful. My server during the dining experience was Han. He was extremely attentive and kind. He frequently came to the table to ensure that I had everything I needed. His friendly hospitality exceeded expectations. At the end of the meal, I grabbed fresh oranges from the bar area as well as the complimentary ice cream (strawberry flavor). The restaurant permitted customers to take ice cream to go, which was very nice. Since this was my second visit, I was able to try both Korean BBQ & Hot Pot options. Personally, I will come back to this restaurant for the hot pot option only moving forward. Overall, K-Town Korean BBQ & Hot Pot provided excellent food and impeccable customer service.

We were told to wait for 30mins to be seated, but we only waited for 20mins. Fast and good service. We enjoyed the BBQ and the food choices at the bar. Will definitely recommend. Just be ready because you'll surely smell like bbq afterwards. =) 23.99 for lunch buffet and 34.99 for dinner

We came here during lunch. Great location. Lots of parking. Lots of seating. Everything looked very nice and clean. Can't beat the prices for lunch for a buffet. There are certain items on the menu that aren't included for lunch unless you pay dinner prices which was unfortunate. Otherwise the meat was very fresh, the veggies were constantly refilled. Some of the hot items in the buffet bar weren't as fresh like the jalapeño poppers but their crawfish was delicious. The service was great. Very friendly, very quick and very attentive. Definitely a must go to try

Gave Ktown another shot with a friend who had never been, and I had to update this review. We Went for a late lunch around 2:30pm and the place was pretty full. The service was excellent and everything was just a little better, hence, the additional star. We had bulgogi, regular and spicy, spicy pork and pork belly, hawaiian beef, finger beef and even spam. We were thoroughly full and satisfied. I still prefer the gas grills over the electric pan they have. The grill chars the meat better. With that said, for the price, this is not a bad spot.

New Korean bbq spot. This place opened up at the beginning of the month. My dad has been waiting and wanting to try this place out. We came here on a Saturday around 11:30am. This place was busy. There was no wait at the time we arrived. We beat the lunch rush because after 30 min there were so many people waiting. If you like both hot pot and bbq then this is the spot for you. They let you do both at the table. If one person in your group just wants hot pot, they won't let you. Everyone at your table has to do the same thing and they charge $5 more per person to do both options. Weekend price here is at $33.99. Weekday price is $23.99. The ambiance of the place was nice. They have a self service bar where you get some side dishes such as Japchae, french fries, crawfish, chicken and etc. They also have the all the add ons for your hot pot dishes and even sauces too. The food here was good. Just getting some side dishes before the hot pot and bbq kind of made my mom full. It did take long to get the meats and hot pot started. It was kind of a waste for me to do the hot pot option because this doesn't satisfy my hunger. I also tried one of their boba drinks. It was neat that they have robot that delivers your drinks. My mom almost collided with it but it stops when people are walking near it. Overall, the food was good but also overwhelming because there was so much to eat. Service here was good and attentive. Will come back here again.

We went on a Tuesday at 4 PM and we were seated right away. Our server was attentive and kept checking on us which was great. The food on the other hand was a bit lacking. Their "buffett" and "sides" didn't have as much variety as the ones in Elk Grove/Sac/Bay Area. The brisket didn't have as much fat to it and as soon as we cooked it, it became super dry and rough to chew. If they served more mid grade or higher grade meats it would be a nice improvement. The Total before tips for Dinner was $98 for 2 people with 2 sodas.

I have been waiting months for KTown to open and was excited to hear they had their soft opening during labor weekend. Love how clean, open and bright the restaurant is. It also did not smell like kbbq inside. We loved the sides and sauce bar as well. We waited about 20 minutes for our table, we got seated right away. Our waitress Priscilla was also very attentive and checked in on us frequently. We did not love it as much as hoped, but since its grand opening I will definitely be back and hopefully update to 5 stars because I want to love it for being a hot pot and kbbq spot! Meat: was very mediocre, didn't wow us at all The garlic pork belly had a weird seasoning to it and we sent it back for the regular pork belly. I was excited they had crawfish but it was overcooked, we didn't get to enjoy it. Chicken wings and japchae was decent; nothing to wow us. The kimchee was very good!!! All 3 choices was five stars! Sauce bar had tons of options to choose from. But the hot chili oil was not spicy or didn't have a kick at all. I do love how they have udon and ramen noodles and all the fixings for hot pot! I will have to go back and try that!

I have been waiting for months for this restaurant, excited to have our first (meaning Stockton's first) combo Korean BBQ and Hot Pot and it finally opened on Labor Day! Ambiance was nice, with Kpop songs playing in the background and interior was nicely lit. Our server was wonderful and attentive so definitely 5 stars on service. The food though was underwhelming. The choices for sides were so so. I did see some people pile on the spicy crawfish but we couldn't try it since my companion was allergic. The beef fingers were tough. The beef bulgogi was good and tasty. To give it a fair shake since they just opened, we will try to come back again, this time for the hotpot and dinner and maybe the korean bbq selections for dinner will be better. Crossing my fingers.

Really clean and delicious AYCE KBBQ and hot pot. Win win win. The portions for meat are large and the fact that you get to serve yourself all the veggies, appetizers, and dessert you want is the best. Also love the individual hot pots and how everyone can choose their own flavor. My only complaint would be that I wish you could choose your portion size for meat. Like if one person at the table wants chicken they just give you a serving the size of the table instead of individually. But that's just a nitpick.

I've been here twice so far, and the K-Town on Pacific isn't too bad. There was a short wait for a table, which was a good sign that it was busy for Sunday lunch. Once seated, we were given a menu with a wide variety of options to choose from. The food tasted good and was reasonably priced for the portions. One thing to note is that there aren't any air vents over the tables to absorb the smoke, so it can get stuffy inside. Additionally, the stovetop had strict settings that made cooking our food a hassle since it didn't get very hot. We asked twice for staff to turn up the heat. Overall, we might return to try more.

Decided to take a drive to Stockton to enjoy some hot pot and this restaurant popped up when I searched for an AYCE spot. Everything was fantastic at this restaurant. They had delicious Japche noodles in the buffet area. My husband enjoyed the chicken wings and the cucumber salad they have is amazing, Nice and spicy. We also added on the Korean bbq for an additional $5 for each person in our party. I ordered a mojito fruit drink and I really didn't care for the drink. But other than that all the food was delicious. Great broths, the tom yum was terrific. The miso was also very tasty. Our waitress did a great job at taking care of all our questions regarding the menu. Definitely will be back when the weather gets cooler.

I personally think this place is pretty good for the price compared to other Korean bbq spots around. The only other spot I know of that's been around before this is Oz which is all the way in Elk Grove for starters. So it's nice having a spot to go to that's pretty close in town. The quality of the food is okay and I would consider coming back here. I did really love how you can make your own sauce for sure. It's a must try if you live in Stockton. I wouldn't travel for this spot though if I lived out of the area.

NOT A FIRE GRILL!!!!!! The grill is ELECTRIC. A true KBBQ place would have either fire grill or charcoal. Without either, the meat doesn't cook properly and get the smoky flavor. It's just a hot pan or skillet at that point. So you might as well save your money and do KBBQ at home...

ktown korean barbecue was such a great experience! even though it's a self-serve korean bbq spot, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful -- especially since a few of my family members had never done korean barbecue before and weren't familiar with how it works. they took the time to explain everything and made us feel really welcome. the food was delicious. all the meats were super well-marinated and seasoned perfectly. every bite had so much flavor. they also have a hot pot section and a little buffet area with appetizers you can grab before you start grilling, which was a nice touch and made the whole experience even better. the ambience was very clean, modern, and felt a bit upscale -- but the prices were actually really reasonable for what you get. definitely recommend this place if you're looking for great korean barbecue with excellent service and a comfortable atmosphere. i'll be back for sure!

I was excited to see a Kbbq spot with hot pot here in town. Others were clearly excited too, because this place was packed! The four of us waited about an hour and a half on Sunday night. The food was just okay to me. The marinades weren't as flavorful as other places I've had. I do love that there is a salad bar and how all the ban chans were there to self grab. The service was great and all of the workers were working very hard. Will try to come back at a later time and hopefully not wait as long. And hopefully it'll be better!

Great Food, but Some Room for Improvement Came here for lunch with my husband and son to check out this new spot, and overall, we had a good experience! The interior is really nice and works well for a Korean BBQ place in Stockton. Plus, they also offer hot pot, which is my favorite! The food came out pretty quickly, and I loved that all the sides were available as much as we wanted. A big plus was that I didn't get charged extra for lettuce, which I like to wrap my meat in (trying to cut back on rice to make the AYCE worth it!). A couple of things we ordered were forgotten, but honestly, that was probably for the best since we were already pretty stuffed. My husband ordered a coconut smoothie, but it tasted a bit watered down--just a light hint of coconut flavor. Service-wise, it felt a little rushed, especially since it was our first time here. We didn't catch the server's name, but hopefully, next time will feel a bit more relaxed. Overall, I'd still recommend it and hope the experience improves on our next visit!

Checking out the newest Korean bbq in town. Needs some things fixed. The rice was NOT cooked properly. The rice was undercooked. I don't care for Korean bbq places that you have to serve yourself all the sides. Although they have nuggets, crawdads, fries,shrimp,fries,fruit,cakes and a couple other items. That makes this a little better than other places. The meat that we ordered was good. The place is bright with overhead lighting. Didn't care for the electric grill, it took forever to heat up. Definitely prefer gas grills. Server was nice. Over needs some fixes but not terrible

New place in town and on a Friday night, there was an hour++ wait! It was packed and completely understandable. They have kbb and hot pot and you can opt to do one or both, but everyone at the table has to do the same thing. They have electric grills which usually I'm not a fan of but this one got pretty hot and was able to give a good sear! The self service bar has the usual banchan and it was all decent. The jap Chae was disappointing but I liked the banchan. The chicken wings, crawfish and hot bar were a nice added bonus and I liked their sauce bar as well. They had a good selection for hot pot including instant noodles! The bar was kept clean and any spills were cleaned up quickly, Our waitress, Priscilla was very good and kept our grill full! We did the pork belly, short rib, finger steaks, Hawaiian steak, and of course the bulgogi. The pork belly and bulgogi were our faves! The cheese corn is smaller than most places but the steam egg was excellent! The free icecream is a perfect way to finish the meal! Cant wait to come back when it's a little colder to try hot pot too!

Han was a very attentive server and made sure to accommodate our needs for grilling! The food was very good. Our favorites was the short rib (10/10!!!!!) and the hawaiann steak. The beef belly and corn cheese are also amazing. The ambiance was very pleasing. I was very impressed with the pretty and scenic atmosphere with the robots and nice music going on. It set the mood for the delicious food that was awaiting us!!

Went to the first day soft opening Sept 1st, so all notes should be taken with the understanding it was the first day. FOOD Menu was great! We ordered the lunch menu options with the hotpot for an additional $5. The lunch menus is reasonably priced especially in comparison to the other KBBQ places we have in town. Since we selected the lunch menu, we did not have the opportunity to explore the dinner items which we do plan to come back. I noticed there were some inconsistencies with the naming of the same items on the hotpot vs kbbq menu, so it's important to be clear which meat you are ordering. They also have a self service sauce, appetizer, and desert bar. My only negative comment is that they need to be aware of which items have peanuts. Although labeled that some items contain peanuts, in asking if a sauce had it or not, there was uncertainty (again, I understand it was the first day.) DRINKS We did not order any beverages or boba/milk teas. We also noticed this restaurant does not serve alcohol. SERVICE Despite it being the first day and staff was still learning overall 5/5 stars for service. There were only about 5 other parties during the time we dined (11 AM). Our server very attentive and constantly check-in and the table items were cleared as we finished. As we left, we noticed the service robot-cat began to operate so we did not get to experience that. AMBIANCE Very clean and bright. Despite the outside still looking like previous Macaroni Grill, the inside was completely transformed. It was very spacious and not as dark as most KBBQ places we've been to. They had music popular Asian artist/group music playing which makes sense for the KBBQ aesthetic/experience. Bathroom was also very clean. PERSONAL THOUGHTS The workers (cooks/busser) were extremely nice but there were a few miscommunications due to language barriers but we figured it out and we appreciated their efforts! We liked the KBBQ options better than the hotpot. We ordered the Szechuan & Curry. The Szechuan was way too potent to be able to enjoy as a soup/with rice noodles and was use more to cook meats then eat. Best cheese corn I've ever had!!! Overall, this place has great potential and we will be back!

The meat quality was pretty good. The sides weren't bad, though they taste a bit bland, but they have sauces to go with it. Our server angel was great and was attentive to us. All in all, I will be back.

I find it ridiculous that both you and your you guest have to order either Hot Pot, or BBQ. One can not order hot pot, and the other BBQ unless you pay more. Also the meat looks like it is grown in a laboratory rather that real meat. Also from what I was told they charge extra if you don't finish all that you took from the food. And no take home food. I prefer regular restaurants where I can order what I want, and my wife can order what she wants. The help are nice people, my issue is the nonsense rules and the meat. Needless to say I will never go there again.

OVERALL: Your money is better spent at Elk Grove OZ Kbbq (or even Yogi across town) than here. I'm so disappointed with this spot as someone who goes to Kbbq often in Sac, Elk Grove, and the Bay Area. I wanted Stockton to have the same level of quality and service; and I had my fears going into this place because it's Stockton, you kind of expect a level of meh when going into places. Sadly, this place is subpar. 1. SERVICE: 1/5 We were seated 30 mins after waitlisting which is fine. What we didn't like was how when we got to our seat, NO ONE explained the process. No "Is this your first time dining with us?" And so on. Had to figure it out on our own, which is fine but for the price you pay, you expect more. Just sat down at a table with no spoons, no chopsticks, no plates nothing. No prep. Our server was running around, took 10-15 mins to get any utensils and water. He was busy--- but if you've ever been to OZ kbbq, this place is nothinggggg. So I'm wondering what he was so busy with if 1. The ordering system is by QR code (which should be explained to people!!!!!) and 2. Most of the sides are SELF SERVE. 2. Meat selection: 0/5!!!! $30/person for dinner with KBBQ only (no hot pot) and you get 6 meat options there's chicken and squid and etc etc but this review is for people who know ordering chicken & seafood at kbbq is a side eye move. This place has 5-6 beef options and none of it is good. When we go to kbbq, we mostly just order brisket.... This place has THICK briskets--- and it's so lean. It literally tastes like this place just bought the cheapest cut they could find. How do you mess up the easier meat to prep? Just slice it with a machine. 0/5 on the pork belly. See pic attached. That's ONE order of pork belly, rolled up to hide the fact that it's such a thin cut. They probably have their machine settings mixed up bc the pork belly slices were too thin and the brisket was too thick.... My smoked bacon slices from Costco are thicker than this. 0/5 Cheese corn---- SKIP THIS!!..... we ordered 3 and literally didn't eat it (and we always have cheese corn, this was just so nasty) Banchan / side dish selections: 1/5 TRASH..... 1 point for the lettuce being free, no up charge. Everything else was mid and subpar in terms of options/variety you expect at other KBBQ for the price you pay. No fish cakes, no fermented sides. Just bad kimchi and BUFFALO WINGS? Anyways. 0/5 The Japchae I wanna specifically mention this bc they had """Japchae"""" in the self service area---- and that was literally NOT Japchae lmao. That or that was the worst Japchae that doesn't taste like Japchae I've ever had. Consider this just sustenance food DESSERT: 5/5 They had an ice cream fridge where you could take as many as you wanted. This was probably the only decently good thing at this place. Still doesn't make up for the thick briskets. Anyways, overall, I'd rather go to Yogi bc at least their meat options are better, AND their QR system lets you call over your server as well as requests things like grill change and water without having to pray and hope that your server happens to walk by AND remember what you requested. But fr tho, just drive to Oz kbbq lol Special mention: I will say the table bussers were very efficient. They always took plates away quickly, which we appreciated. I never had to flag them down

3 stars for the wait and service 30min wait to get called to the table wasn't bad it was when we got our seats seem like it to forever to order and then being rushed at the same time kind sucked! The sauce bar had pretty good options the hotpot bar didn't have much veggies or sides idk if it was my taste buds but most of the k-bbq meat didn't have much flavor... The ambience was ok nothing screams hotpot and Korean bbq like other places. Will I return? maybe someday was it all bad? not at all

First time here, server was great. He was patient and helpful as we were super lost on what to do. Salad bar was clean and organized which is always a plus. Food was great quality!

This was probably one of the worst Korean BBQ spots I have ever been to. The service was good but the food quality was absolutely terrible. No flavor whatsoever from the side dishes to the raw meat (which some were supposedly marinated) being served and the meat was not fresh at all. I do not recommend anyone wasting their money on way over priced food that is terrible quality. Save yourself the trip and the money. Find yourself a better restaurant. Because this place, is the lowest grade for Korean food. Not to mention that my two children were charged as adults "based off their height" rather than their age. Which was even more of a rip off and completely an age discrimination! I wouldn't be surprised if this location doesn't last much longer with how they're running things.

Sorry this is a no go for me. For the price yeah I'm good. Food is tasteless unable to get a satisfactory out if. The bar is okay not my cup of tea but it does its job. Service is a hit or miss, it's weird because they'll pass you up or just stare at you. Place is okay pretty spacious good view depends on where you sit. Recommend Is a NO
