K-Town Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

K‑Town Korean BBQ & Hot Pot delivers the classic all‑you‑can‑eat experience with a lively atmosphere and a steady flow of meats and sides. The quality stays consistent throughout the meal, and the staff moves with a rhythm that keeps everything feeling smooth even when the restaurant is packed. There’s an energy in the room that makes the dinner feel more social and fun, especially when you’re there with friends or family. It’s the kind of place where you settle in, talk, grill, and let the meal unfold at its own pace. The whole experience feels casual but satisfying in a way that fits a relaxed night out. The space itself is comfortable, with booths that give a bit of privacy and enough room to stay for a longer dinner without feeling cramped. Even though parking can take a moment, it’s a small trade‑off once you’re seated and the grill starts heating up. Trying different cuts and rotating between meats, sides, and hot dishes keeps the meal interesting from start to finish. The atmosphere stays upbeat without being overwhelming, which makes it easy to enjoy the food and conversation at the same time. Overall, it’s a solid choice when you want something filling, social, and dependable.

Just for reference, It was definitely a let's just go in and try it kind of thing because we have not tried anything like this before. So to begin with, the lady at the front greeted us nicely and explained how it works and how they measure kids to charge them accordingly. So we had the lunch beef "buffet" for $24.99 per adult and for two of my kids since they went over the 40inch mark they were charged $14.99 (i think that was the price) and my little one was free since he was below the charging mark (forgot the measurement at which it starts). So you pick either soup "buffet" or meat "buffet" but if you want both you just pay $5 more and you'll have both available. During our lunch hour it wasn't crazy busy so we enjoyed our time there. Interior including the women's restroom was clean and stocked. The "food bar" area was clean, organized and had different selections of food. It was definitely a hit because the kids were able to enjoy fries, nuggets, breaded shrimp and cheese sticks. There was sushi rolls if im not mistaken and toppings for the soups as well as some desserts and fruit. Once at the table the server turns on the grill and every time the grill is dirty/black, usually after each cooking, the server will come by and swap it for a new clean one and also oil it so you'll start the next cooking batch clean. He told us that the "robot" brings out only special drinks that have boba so to see it in action we ordered lemonades with boba and we were amazed when we saw the robot thingy come by with them. I think that was our kids favorite part! We were definitely satisfied with the marinade the meats had. We enjoyed the cajun chicken and the beef bulgogi the most. White rice was delicious and had some stickiness to it and we also had shrimp but it wasn't what we expected. I saw later that they had a garlic shrimp but didn't get a chance to order it since we were getting to that point of fullness. I would love to go back and this time try out the soup buffet part. Overall we were happy we ate there and as a family enjoyed the food! We did our best to not waste food and at the end we enjoyed an ice cream cup, which they have in a freezer in the "food bar" area with 3 available flavors. The rating on Google really matches the dining and food experience so don't hesitate and try it out!

This place is okay. The staff all talked so quite and we could not understand them. We told them it was our first time and we needed help. Also told them to talk louder because the music was too loud. But the waiter still talked too low for us to hear. The sushi rice and the rice bowl we got was hard, like it wasn't fully cooked before they started making the sushi with it. The marinaded beef and shrimp were very tasty though. Over $200 for 4 people is too much though.

I didn't see the usual dips like gochujang. And other than the meat and rice, everything is mostly self served. But their selections are pretty good! Their side dishes are yummy too! Our server Han was very attentive and offered great friendly customer service. My niece loved him. And we got free ice ice cream 🤤🥰 Place is clean and plenty parking. Overall a great experience! I highly recommend! 😉👍

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!

We love this place. My daughter and I are here pretty much every week. Our favorite server is Shuting. She always gives amazing service with a great smile 😁.

This place was so fun!! We went here for my son's birthday and they had this cute robot that would serve our drinks When we told our (human) server that it was my son's bday, the robot came to his table and sang the happy birthday song! AND the food was delicious. I recommend the spicy pork belly and the japchae was so good!

My son and his lady brought me here for my birthday. I had never been here before, so it was a new experience for me. First of all, the service was amazing. We quickly had questions answered, checked out the food selections, and were served our meat selections. We cooked a number of meats and veges to try them out. Our host often changed our cooking plate, so we always had a clean cooking service. The restaurant was packed, yet we only had to wait a few minutes to be served. We definitely will be better prepared for our next visit. We liked the ribs & shrimp best, but choosing the right flavor and marinate adds to the dish as well. I really did not know what to expect, but now I'm ready for our next visit.

Parking is huge, it shares with other business. Went for a Saturday dinner and waited for 25 minutes. 3 options to choose from: hotpot, kbbq or both. We chose kbbq option. It comes with a salad bar type for sides, appetizer, and some sushi. Sushi is okay for a non Sushi establishment. Limited meat options. Bulgogi is marinated great. After dinner, we got green Thai Iced Tea to finish off. It's actually pretty good. Great customer service. Quick service. Attentive to grill change. Great music choice. Great atmosphere. Can get loud though. Would definitely go back here if we're in the area.

The seafood boil in the buffet though.... My family and I were originally supposed to go to another kbbq spot an hour away but came across this spot and let me just say, we were so happy that we went to this place instead. There's a small buffet that is included with your meal (what!?!) I've never been to a kbbq that had this option. The seafood boil was DELICIOUS. They have a ramen section, and many different types of sauces. Our waitress was so sweet, kind & attentive. Perfect for any type of outing whether family/friends or even an intimate date night. The beef bulgogi was delicious! Marinated to perfection **chefs kiss* we got Korean short ribs (only available for the dinner menu, but you could still choose the dinner menu for lunch which I thought was cool) beef bulgogi, Hawaiian chicken & pork belly .. So satisfying, I will definitely be back!

came here 1pm on a Saturday. it was $33.99 per person (all-day dinner price). our table of 9 had to be split into 4,2,3 amongst 3 tables to be immediately seated. all customers must be present. our server was efficient, but not much communication outside ordering. i didn't drink the tap water which tasted strange, so i ended the meal feeling severely dehydrated. the seaweed salad at the side dish bar was so green it almost seemed radioactive. the radish/kimchi all had a weird overly sweet aftertaste to them. all the sauces were THICKK, almost like syrup. the bar had all sorts of fried items (fries, nuggets, mozzarella, sesame balls). then for dessert there was ur usual asian buffet tarts/cakes, cantaloupe + pineapple that were actually good, and mini ice cream cups that they'd serve u in elementary school lunch (limit 1 per person). AYCE KBBQ: the beef prime brisket was so rough and dry, felt like i was eating a rug. beef rib plate came with 2 strips which were 50% fat. color was not vibrant, it was jiggly/less firm and didn't charcoal all the way. i felt like all the meats had the same marinade undertone bc of how much SUGAR was in it. they somehow made the chicken bulgogi taste very similar to the beef ribs. this one was juicy and heavily sauced up. the garlic chicken was fair. the spicy octopus was just doused in sauce, visually we thought it was kimchi the entire time. OTHERS: clean bathrooms. electric kitty machine delivers drinks and sings happy birthday to you upon request. pretty cool overall, a great social hangout. location is conveniently close to a shopping center. i would not come again. i don't expect too much from AYCE meat but ive had better quality meat and even side dishes from other places.

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.

Terrible service. Walked in at 9 PM with a party of four and little girls in the front told me that I couldn't be seated even though they close at 10 that makes totally no sense will not be coming here ever again ! So rude

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!

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.

Sunday August 31st 2025, my family went here for brunch, Darren was our server he was very good and on top of his table and customer needs. The food was good. The restaurant is always clean and nice. Darren if you're reading this my mother in law wants you to serve us next time you did a great job and we are happy with your service keep up the good work. Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Would I recommend: Yes I would

Food was bland mainly the $60 seafood boil, straight horrible. The crayfish and shrimp was over cooked like it was cooked days ago with very little sauce and NO seasoning. The combo plates was mediocre, ono hawaiian bbq is way better as far as the meat and rice plates. Never again .

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

K-Town was clean and well lit. Tables spread out and nice accents. Laney was amazing , extremely helpful and answered our questions. We ordered the hot pot and Korean bbq combo. Was only $5 more for both. We had the miso base and tom yum base! lots of flavor. lots of selections of meats for hot pot and bbq ! corn cheese so good !!! little pricey but def will be back !

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

I came only for the hot pot and it was so good! I recommend the Thai Tom Yum broth if you like spicy. The seafood protein options are good and there's plenty of veggie options offered at the buffet. I also like how they have appetizers and desserts offered at the buffet, and free ice cream cups on your way out. If you can't handle eating boiling soup, I recommend you turn the burner off while eating. It is expensive but worth it from time to time. The service was good, no complaints. Restaurant appeared clean. **The only thing I didn't like, was the workers cleaning, sweeping, and clearing the buffet 45min before closing time at 10pm; I definitely didn't appreciate that.

Love the ambiance & service at this location. Super cleanly and has amazing servers. Kimmy is our regular server & always goes above and beyond for us! Other servers do as well & are always welcoming. We come here so often, its become such a staple.

If you live in the tracy, modesto, manteca area, come to this place. Its worth the drive. Great food at a good price Ask for Shuting . She is the best.

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.

Thankful that I dont need to drive to Bay Area of Im craving for kbbq and hotpot. Surprisingly all meat was delicious. Right amount of serving. Has lot of selection for sauces with recipe!! We'll definitely not the last time to eat here.

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.

One of the best hot pot place I've been too And I've been to hot pot places all over the world!!!

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.

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!

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.

Stop by for dinner in weekday. Little busy around 6PM. Great service and clean. They also have sushi and saseme. Will come back and bring friend for party. My service table is Darren

Food and service was premium as expected. Went there twice with my coworkers and both times we came out happy and satisfied.

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.

Absolute wonderful service, food was delectable. Definitely coming back again. The vibe and the music was a delightful setting that made me enjoy while I dined in. Thank you K-Town!!!

It's ok for a buffet. Hotpot was good. All the premade foods were cold (chicken, shrimp, clams all cold).. the rice is old and dry, even soaking it in soup could not soften it. Avoid ice water, something was floating in it .. Customer service was good.

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!

It's our first time here and we going back again. We have both the buffet for grilled and soup. What we really amazed us is the bar with different options of appetizers for kids and the vegetables for soup and there dipping sauce. Really recommended! Forgot to mention they have crawfish.

Honestly, the food was so good!! The service was so fast. The staff were so friendly. The staff continuously checked up on us to make sure we were okay because it was our first time there. We felt so welcomed and not judged! The place is really neat. We will be coming back and bringing more people. It is pricey but it's yummy. 10/10!!!!!!!

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!

Love the hot pot and grill options.. variety of mushrooms for your hotpot! They have crawdads too, almost everyday!

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!

Love coming her so often for the hot pot, 10/10. The ambiance is always amazing and everyone makes you feel welcomed. Shout out to kimmy and the other hosts who always make it feel like home!!

Food and vibes were amazing! :) AJ was great, on top of everything! I love the drink serving robot! Lotta good food and flavors to explore. We will definitely be coming back at some point.

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.

The service here is amazing! Super attentive and friendly. For AYCE HOT POT AND BBQ it's such a good deal and their broth is flavorful and food is delicious. I love it here

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

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...

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

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!!
