Kim's Restaurant

Its definitely a cozy family restaurant type of vibe and atmosphere. But the food is ok at best. The fried dumplings were in my personal opinion good but a little too oily if you can more than 4ish. The meat was decent. The little dishes they give you felt a little bit worse than last year but still good to pass the time. Service was decent to say the least.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and we finally did! It was even better than I expected. The freshness of the meat, combined with the delicious sauce and a hint of charcoal smoke, was heavenly. The staff were very friendly and their service was amazing. They made sure to refill all the side dishes as soon as they were empty. We spent about $120 for two people. While the price might seem high, the preparation for the charcoal and the excellent service justify the cost. As someone who eats smaller portions, it was perfect for us. However, the portions might be a little small for those with big tummies lol. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I would definitely go back!

This is my new favorite Korean bbq spot. The food is on the pricier end but it was so worth it. They use charcoal grill so the meats have a smoky flavor and it’s delicious. Food also comes with a bunch of side dishes that pairs so well with the meat. Service is also great, they will cook for you if you ask. Highly recommend this spot, can’t wait to go back!

Great great food! Hands down the best Korean bbq. The charcoal grill adds rich flavor and the servers cook the food for you. And they give a huge variety of bonchon dishes.

Kim's is definitely the best Korean BBQ restaurant in the US! I am not exaggerating. I just came back from the West coast and no restaurant could be as good as this one! And I like Sarah, who is helping us roast the meat! really good. she is very helpful and always with a cute smile

Very traditional style kbbq with a charcoal grill. Been here twice now and the service was excellent both times. First time came and got a combo platter. They had a good amount of food and definitely enough for 2 people for the combo. The texture of the meat as well as the marinade was amazing. Perfectly seasons and they would cook it right there for you. Using charcoal instead of the standard grill you’ll see everywhere else have it a smoky flavour.

The exterior of Kim’s Restaurant is about as unassuming as one can get. As soon as you step inside, you’re hit with that unmistakable smell of charcoal grilled meat. It takes me back to my first experience with a bbq restaurant back in Seoul in the late 1960s. Service is very English language friendly. Unlike some Korean places where surly and blank stares are the rule rather than the exception when English is spoken, the servers at Kim’s are friendly and accommodating. The food…that’s why you come to Kim’s! The banchan selection isn’t the most numerous, but they’re tasty. The menu is blessedly small…granted, not so friendly to vegetarians/vegans, but that tight menu shows in the quality of the dishes. I don’t think you can fault the meat selection and its preparation. One can skip the long drive to Fort Lee for really good Korean bbq now without a falloff in quality. Naeungmyun, both mul and bibim, are personal favorites, so when I see them on the menu, it’s a must try. I would say that the mul naeungmyun is better than the bibim one here. The noodle portion sizes are also small. Their regular is probably about a small portion just about everywhere else I’ve been. All in all, I’m very happy with Kim’s and it’ll be a regular spot for us.

Delicious! Best Korean bbq I've had. The server is also your chef as he perfectly grills the the meats. We started with soup and fried dumplings. Both were very good. Our server recommended the B4 hanger steak and B5 short rib fingers. Loved both, but if I had to choose I'd lean towards the short rib fingers. Just a little more yummy flavor. And they use a charcoal grill that really enhances the flavor. The meat is not cheap, but not expensive. You get what you pay for lol. Definitely come here.

I've been here at least 5-6 times and it kills me to do this review because I want to continue to be able to get a table. But the secret seems to be out... and honestly, after 20+ years of Philly restaurants the truth is that this is in my current top 5. The food is consistently delicious, full of flavor, with a wonderful warm atmosphere. Not for vegetarians by any stretch or even for non-adventurous eaters. Get whatever they tell you to and then add the lamb. Oh and the spicy noodles, and extra helpings of the world's best salad. Please don't ever change, Kim's. The authenticity is everything.

10/10 RECOMMEND RECOMMEND!!!! In my opinion the food was amazing this place exceeded my expectations. The kimchi pancakes were good with a nice touch of spice. The skirt steak was so tender and well seasoned, we also had beef tips but the skirt steak stole the show. Service was very good, staff were nice and patient we didn't feel like we were being rushed or anything. I have nothing bad to say, I can't wait to go back. Ambiance was nice and traditional, I felt like I was in another country and I absolutely loved it! Thank you guys for having us. If ever in the area I recommend trying this spot out, you won't regret it! Just a heads up it's a bit pricey but I believe it's worth it.. If ever in the area, you should def give it a try.

As soon as we got out from the parking lot, we could smell the barbecue. What makes this place special is that they use charcoal instead of gas. The waiter cooks the meat for you. The cooked meat was put on the side so that it wasn't overcooked. I picked beef tongue. Very short cook time because they were thinly sliced. I dipped them in the sauce that came with the order. Rich in umami flavor. The marinated beef and pork was well seasoned and not overly saturated salty soy sauce. They provide several side dishes but the portion was very small. The lettuce was fresh and big, perfect to wrap the meat. I ordered hot Korean tea. Unfortunately, they served the piping hot tea in a plastic jar. High risk of chemical leeching. It's not a BYOB , you can buy beer there

This might have become my favorite kbbq place I have ever tried! Came here wanting a feast and they certainly delivered. Three of us came and we ended up ordering the combo meal with an extra meat, which was what the server recommended for three people and this was the perfect amount for us as we were able to finish almost everything without feeling too stuffed. The selection of banchan was impressive and every single one was delectable! The meat was good quality and flavorful and the server was amazing and super sweet! Overall, it felt like a well run family restaurant with authentic Asian restaurant vibes. If you're looking for food coma inducing bliss, look no further!

3.7. The charcoal smoke flavor is very nice. The Special combo is a good deal to get a variety of tastes. Side dishes were all good and the pork was my favorite, as it was tasty and tender, the mushrooms were also very good. The sliced beef was not as tender or flavorful as I would have liked. They also offer galbi (short ribs) which I was told is excellent. Staff (wo)man's the grill for you. Not too much interaction Ambiance =bbq place with area for beer sale. It was kind of difficult to converse with the entire table when the grill was going-due to the vent being pulled down in the middle of the table. All in all a good choice for that unique smoked flavored grilled meat taste

This place serves such hearty meals! I really enjoyed the marinade on the marinated ribs, and the portions were plentiful. I think we ordered Set A and since they provide plenty of side dishes, stew, and steamed egg alongside several cuts of meat, our large table left very full! I love how the meat is grilled on a charcoal grill as this adds to the flavor, and this may be the best authentic-tasting kbbq place in Philly! Definitely far out but still worth the taste and cost! The interior is a bit small and the ambiance is very brightly lit. Service speed was fine and they quickly grill the meat for you. Overall, will return! (There is also parking).

3rd time eating here. 1st time on a Friday/weekend dinner. This review mainly reflects that. I don't recommend coming here when it's busy. They have limited seating with a long wait list: the result? You'd wait a while (30 mins) and the meat is only cooked enough; not charred (which is the essence of BBQ). Thus the charcoal-charred flavor that we love at Kim's didn't have enough time to develop during this visit. We'd also wish we were given the option to cook for our selves if this was the case. We also weren't given the option to choose which meats to eat first, for those who'd like to know. So yes, it's nice they cook for you... but even better when it's not busy. If the busy times are the only times that work for you, I'd highly recommend reserving. As for service: we had to ask for everything while our server mainly focused / prioritized cooking our food... and not being proactive about service... we asked for extra lettuce to water to more banchan. Other than that, this is the place to go for high quality KBBQ. I believe it's because they: 1) their meats aren't frozen (at least when it comes out?) 2) they use charcoal 3) they have a huge variety of ban chan (like 7-9?), which are refillable free of charge. We averaged about $42/ person. They don't automatically charge for a party of 6. No Apple Pay. But accepts credit cards. They have a parking lot included for customers.

Very attentive female server! As she guided us that you can hold the lamp chops with tissues! And all our needs were met! Came on a Thursday right around them opening and there was no wait. Since it wasn't busy, the servers had time to help you cook grill meats and portion it out straight to your plates. It also isn't as bustling and thus wasn't as loud as they usually gets when busy thus enabling us to have quality group conversation. This Korean place serves the most variety of banchan in Philadelphia: from lots of veggies to vegan options such as tofu! We loved the watercress salad, potato salad, tofu, seafood pancake, and pickled carrot & radish so much we asked for complimentary refills! Now accepts Apple Pay. Gave us Milkis on the house: loved the yogurt original (blue) and strawberry flavor! Always love Kim's as it is the best Korean BBQ spot in Philly because meat is grilled on charcoal!

Came here for a chill and delicious New Year's Eve dinner with friends and it was the perfect way to end the old year and ring in the new. This is a very special meal and experience at a fair price. Unlike other KBBQ spots, this is not all you can eat. You're getting prime cuts of meat and there is a server who will cook your meat to perfection in front of you. We got the special combo and a couple of other additional meats, dumplings, and kimchi pancakes for $53 pp for 5 people and were full and happy. Our server/cook was so sweet, dynamic, and plated our meat for us. All of the small sides and two soups also come with the combo, and we especially loved the dried squid and pickled radish and the egg soup. While we were celebrating an occasion and this restaurant is so special, I would literally go here every day if I could. Can't wait to return!

Servers - professional and attentive. Service - speedy. Food - delicious. Straightforward, no-frills Korean BBQ. The decor isn't fancy but that doesn't bother me. We came here on a Tuesday night around 7pm. I am not exaggerating when I say our food started coming out to our table in less than 5 minutes from the time we ordered it. The hanger steak was so tender and flavorful. The doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) had a nice spicy kick without being overwhelming. There was a great variety of banchan. Can't wait to come back here again!

If you enjoy KBBQ, Kim's is a must visit. It's near impossible to find a place that uses charcoal grills. The charcoal grills gives the food a different depth of flavor that other KBBQ restaurants cannot provide. The food here is fresh, and the service is extremely attentive. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Amazing. This is the best place to visit when trying out Korean food. This place has been in business since 1982 so you know it's pretty legit. The place uses charcoal grill which was really good. The place also sells beer and soju if you want something to drink. The service is pretty quick. Our waiter brought the small dishes first with our meal then also brought out the meats and grilled it quickly. It was pretty cool to be able to eat the meats immediately.

The food is amazing! All their meat is cooked on real charcoals right in front of you. Everywhere I've been, it's always has. The meat is super fresh and amazing salads. But don't expect beautiful decor. Just a great place to eat amazing Korean.

Kim's Restaurant is now one of my favorite kbbq spots I have tried so far in Philly. Everything about this place was exceptional -- the food, the vibe, and the service. My friends and I got the Special Combo, which included 4 different cuts of meat, doenjang-jiigae (soybean paste soup) and steamed egg. We also got the kimchi Korean pancake. All the meats were good quality and packed with delicious flavor, and the banchan was amazing, probably the best I've had. The woman who cooked our meat was super kind and funny and made sure we always had enough of everything. This was my first time at a kbbq restaurant that used a charcoal grill, and it definitely elevated the taste of everything. I definitely will be back!!

This was the best Korean bbq I have had in the states. Great service with an amazing flavor burst in every bite. We had five different meat choices cooking on the open pit. Marinated chicken, spicy marinated chicken, marinated pork, spicy marinated pork, tomahawk steak for two. We had fried dumplings with nice crunchy outside with yummy flavorful inside. Washed all this down with hot Saki as well as cold plum flavored saki. I cannot get over how good this meal was. Again awesome folks running this place and quick as well!!!

Don't be fooled by its small square footage. The food is well cooked by the staff and is attentive to all request. The atmosphere feels casual and yet it can be a great dinner date!

CHARCOAL!! I will never ever visit another k-bbq place besides Kim's. That's how good it is. It's a Friday night, party of 7PM. It definitely feels as I was at those local spots in Korea when I walked in. We ordered 2 combos, a secret menu meat, pancake, dumplings, cold noodles and a punch of alcohol. Meat was well seasoned without overpowering. The sauce and meat were harmonized and with the charcoal grill, no words can be explained. Service was great, my favourite bite is definitely the secret meat - skirt steak, tender bite, charred corner, juicy, well seasoned, 80% meat flavour, 20% seasoning. We order the cold noodles after finished up with the combo, just to freshen ourselves up. 10/10, recommended!

Original Mom and Pop business. I love this place! Soooooo delicious and worth spending to satisfy my stomach! Their Watercress Salad is out of this World! Those of you who have not tried this place; I recommend that you do and I am 100% sure that you will not be disappointed. Their menu is usually made for two people or more. It is a nice way to take your date out to experience all the flavors that they offer.

Came back again for dinner and was still blown away by the quality of the food & the warmth of service here! TLDR: Soooo gooooooood. Def my fav Korean restaurant in Philly and possibly my fav Philly restaurant overall. The service here is exceptional! They really treat their customers like family. Came on a Friday night ~7pm and only had to wait 10 minutes for seating. (side note: parking is a different story though - their parking lot is a little small, but there are plenty of spaces to street park a few blocks down the restaurant) The staff was so kind and kept updating us with the time (haha I think they could tell I was hungry). I think one of the owners or managers was running tables the day we came in and he gave us cold noodles on the house for waiting- this was so kind and I even felt bad because we didn't even wait that long! The banchan (side dishes) came out a few minutes after we were seated and the meat we ordered shortly followed. The galbi is sooo good and I love the taste that the charcoal gives it. Wrapping the meat in lettuce with some kimchi/other banchan is so refreshing! You are also given dipping sauces, garlic, and hot peppers on the side. There is a lot of variety here! The cold noodles were also SO DELICIOUS!!! I absolutely love naengmyun and eating naengmyun WITH galbi was a new experience. Safe to say that I will definitely be back again. :)

Kim's Restaurant provides a nice representation to what you would find at a traditional Korean barbecue restaurant in the suburban areas of Korea with a slight 포차 (Pocha) atmosphere making anyone want to down some of their food with a bottle of soju on hand. The service was very attentive with staff asking how everything was every now and then, as well as their attentiveness in grilling all four types of meat (both marinated and not marinated) provided in the best ways for consumption. The banchan (side dishes) are plentiful and when asked nicely are replenish-able so you can enjoy more of your favorites if you ever run out, and for the price we paid for the Special Combo (the later half of the $90 range) it was worth every penny.

So so want to gatekeep, but definitely my favorite kbbq in town. When I walked through the door, I felt like I walked through a portal and was transported to Korea instantly - the vibe, the people, the soju conversations, the imonim and the ajussi - even down to the water bottles. If you are missing Korea, this place is chef's kiss. It is definitely a no frill restaurant, no over the top services, but very intimate and friendly. Food was good. We missed out on the bulgogi (they were sold out by 7pm!), but all the other cuts of meats were good. Portion was generous - must do the combo set if you are indecisive. Highly recommend!

I was here with my friends last time and everything was good. Food: 9/10 Service: 7/10 ( service was great and fast , but there only problem is the server cooked our food really fast which we were kinda eating it in the rush. ) Ambiance : 10/10

Been coming to Kim's for years and am just now getting around to writing a review. In my opinion, best Korean bbq hands down! It's very hard to find a spot that's consistent, but Kim's has been consistently DELICIOUS. Everything from banchan to stews to meat...all delicious. It feels like you've come home to good home cooking. You definitely leave feeling satisfied, and now the staff cooks the meat for you too, so you really just sit back and focus on eating. Come hungry!!!

Love kim restaurant, their meat quality and service is always great. Meat so tender, flavorful, come with generous amount of side dish, food come out fast and they cook the meat for you. Little pricey but very worth it. I tried all their appetizers and they all tasted great. Recommend the spicy rice cake and fried dumplings, their special combo is goos too. Came back twice and both time was great.

Absolutely delicious! If you want to get an authentic kbbq, please come to this place; so worth it. The servers are so polite and they grill the meat for you. Everything was so good, every banchan was flavorful. Will def come back! BYOB? Don't think so since they have drinks in there.

Have been here several times and brought others as well. This locally owned business is unique among KBBQ in the Philly area as they use charcoal to cook the food as opposed to gas like most places do. This gives the meat a smoky flavor. We usually go with the special combo which is ~100 for several cuts of meat including marinated beef and chicken, as well as pork belly and non-marinated beef, soup, and steamed egg. One is enough for 2 people. Would probably get 2 special combos for 4 people. The service is prompt and the food is delicious. No frills, just good food. They cook the meat for you and switch out the coals as needed. The only thing about this business is they can never remember to bring out rice, regardless of whether you ask for it or they offer it. You will 9/10 not get it. But arguably, you're there for the meat. They have a good selection of drinks, so not BYOB. Canned soda, soju, makgeolli that you grab out of the fridge. One perk of this business is that it has a parking lot. If that is full, there is often ample street parking around.

My boyfriend, our friend, and I came here and were sad to say that we were very disappointed by most of the staff. We came to to eat because our friends strongly recommended this place and it has pretty good reviews. We had a large party with no reservations, we stepped in expecting to be split up into two tables but when we asked for a table for 11 people, we were told that the party was too large and they couldnt not seat us. We told them that it would be okay even if its split into two tables and still were told that they didnt have any seating available for the rest of the night and so we accepted it and left, they said you can try to make a reservation for next week or tomorrow... The staff didnt really understand what were were asking and just kept telling the 3 of us that there would be no tables. Our other friend who was meeting us there walked into the restaurant a bit after we left and instantly got a table for all 11 of us and told our friend that they would be seating us as a table of 8 and a table of 3 which was fine. We then drove back to the restaurant and the staff didnt seem very happy. When we went to go sit down we were instantly approached and was told that we were not allowed to split tables. There was a lot of miscommunication and misunderstandings from the staff and the owners. When we were finally allowed to sit, one of the older ladies that told us we were not allowed to sit gave us looks the entire time we were there and was agruing with another one of the old ladies and point at our table in korean. The same lady that was giving us looks and pointing then came over and told us that we werent allowed to order only one combo for 3 people which we were not aware of as our server didnt say anything but fine, understandable. I explained to her that we will be ordering more food and she gave me the most annoyed face and walked away. We then ordered 2 more appetizers (large portions), an order of fried dumplings and tteokbokki, which is a lot for 3 people. The whole dining experience was just unsettling and the 3 of us just didnt want to be there. As we ate we noticed that our friends at the table of 8 received more portions in their combo (they ordered 3 combos for 8 people) than our combo which was also not great as this restaurant is pretty pricey because they use coal to cook the food. All combos are supposed to be the same size which is why they make you order more than one combo. The meats were good and smokey but I personally wont be dining there again. 3 people ordered one combo, one combo order feeds 2 8 people ordered 3 combos, 3 combos feeds 6 not 8 people, yet nothing was said to them.

We hadn't been to Kim's in a long time. We decided to try it tonight. Where it was always good food, it used to be very smoky. They have solved that problem, and I have to say , it was a great experience. The food was excellent-the kimchee assortment delish, as was the watercress salad and the meat. But best of all was Sara, our server. She was fun, friendly and helpful. What a nice evening. My brother deemed it an adventure! Like Arnold, we'll be back.

Just moved to south jersey and have been looking for a quality kbbq spot! This restaurant is 40 mins from me but so worth the drive. It's a small mom and pop restaurant with great quality meats. We got the marinated galbi, skirt steak, and pork belly. I wished the pork belly was thicker but I still enjoyed it. Galbi and steak just melted in your mouth. The variety of side dishes were yummy and endless. You could be full just from that! Staff cooks the meats for you and were very quick and attentive! Owner gave us free milkis drinks on the way out too. I'll definitely be returning!

Yesterday me and my wife stop by Kim's restaurant. Cannot taste the food, because waiter did not accept our order. We would like to order Kimchi Jeuk soup for me, cold thin noodle soup for my wife and rice pancake to share, plus Macali and soda. Waiter said: "You have to order 2 BBQ meats, otherwise we don't want your order..." First, I don't think it is a good idea to meet customers with the YOU HAVE TO... The service as I described is rude and poor. Ambiance was neither good or bad, in restaurant we see only 1 table with 4 people.

The best around by a lot. Parkings a pain, I don't care. It's pricier than other places, I don't care. It's not really around anywhere else I want to be, I don't care. Service is great and the owner is always making sure the place is running on point. Everything you can order is awesome quality. If you get the special combo and share it it's more than enough and to be honest reasonable in price. This place is it.

Top 3 all time. Place is always packed and the waiters are very attentive. Food: 10 Ambiance: 10 Owner: 10 Soju: 4 bottles

Kim's is epic. Best Korean food I've had on east coast as someone coming from LA. super nice people. Great quality meat. Can't recommend enough to anyone in the area

There's a well reviewed Korean restaurant a block from my apartment, but I only go if I'm desperate because it's not very good. Kim's is a 30 minute drive away, but I'll go back again and again. Everything was spot on: meat quality, vibe and the service were exceptional. Philadelphia Magazine got it right when they put Kim's on their Top 50 list. Endorse without hesitation.

Excellent service! Great food! Traditional KBBQ with charcoal. Great for a date or family dinner!

The kalbi melts in your mouth. Definitely a stop coming home from NY. So, so good. Cold buckwheat noodles was delicious too. The egg soufflé and dangchang jigae were also yummy. This review will be short because it's so good.

My friends took me here on my visit to Philly and OH MY GOSH. First Korean Barbecue experience and I am so glad it was here!! Side dishes were EXCELLENT. We ordered the special combo and the short rib fingers. All of the meat was incredible and the ladies working and serving were very kind. The lady that cooked for us was so sweet to my friend's daughter! I wish I was closer so I could come back sooner.

Everything here is good and service is wonderful, they also make the best kimchi jigae in my opinion

Kim's Restaurant is amazing for KBBQ! They are certainly a lot pricier than your typical AYCE places that charge $30/per person but the quality here is unmatched. The meats are all marinated with tons of flavor and the charcoal grill definitely adds to your taste buds. The staff helps cook the meat for you as well, which makes the experience much more enjoyable - your only focus is eating the freshly grilled meats. Every meat option goes for about $45.99, and I'd recommend 2 meat options if you're a party of 2. My boyfriend and I ordered the combo which came with 4 different meat options, steamed egg and 1 spicy soybean soup. Super delicious and worthwhile! We also ordered 2 rice bowls and the total came to $100 overall. There's also a decent selection of beers and soju in the fridge. The seating here is long tables that can accommodate 6 people per table. They also have some bigger rooms in the back it seem. There's a small parking lot in the front of the restaurant that can get a little tight. Highly recommend Kim's Restaurant if you're in the area!

Best Korean BBQ Ever! Excellent service! Waiters help cook your meats and you just sit and enjoy the delicious food!

Great Korean bbq. We got the tomohawk steak for two and beef tongue. They were both grilled by the host to perfection, and the bonchon were all great as well. I really recommend using all the sauces, and getting rice! Everything was so good!!

Best BBQ around. Amazing homemade banchan. They cook your meat on the charcoal grill at the table and it tastes so delicious.

There's a lot to park in right outside! Adequate seating, not very busy on a lunch weekend but I'll take that as a pro on my side. We opted for the special combo that Included four cuts of meats and banchans. Also ordered tteokbokki. I would say it is on the pricier side but we did demolish this for two people-we left rather uncomfortably full (in a good way) so I'd say depending on how hungry this could serve between 2-4 people. One of the guys did the cooking which I didn't mind. He was so pleasant. You can tell this is family owned. People might complain about the price but if we had eaten this amongst 3 people, id say it's rather comparable to other kbbq spots. As far as banchans go, there's a lot of variety including kimchi, pickled daikon, tofu, fish cake, and some more pictured.

I regret not coming here earlier! Have heard good stuff about Kim's from a few friends and finally tried it out before I leave Philly. We got Galbi jumuluk and the outside skirt steak - both meat are of excellent quality and cooked on the charcoal grill to perfection by the host! Love the ambience and it's definitely the most authentic KBBQ place around Philly, highly recommend:))

Our first Korean bbq restaurant in Philly. All the staff were really nice and friendly, very attentive with great service. We got the pork belly, rib fingers, and unmarinated galbi. The pork belly was our least favorite, too thin and it got burnt too fast so it was hard and chewy. The beef rib fingers and unmarinated galbi were good quality and was very delicious. The side dishes were great, kimchi was my favorite (and usually I don't like kimchi at kbbq restaurants because they are mild and bland but the one here was very sour and yummy). We also got the soy bean paste stew, which I was surprised that they put pepper flakes into it, my first time trying it spicy, still delicious though. We also ordered the steam egg but they forgot about it and we were so full and realized it at the end. We got complementary Milkis (sweet carbonated drink) at the end of dinner too, which was a nice gesture from the staff. Will definitely be back!

The food was very tasty! The service was excellent. Would recommend this BBQ place to anyone looking for good eats.

NONE OF YOU WERE LYING!!! This place is everything you could ever want and more. Very authentic and if you are not Korean, they are very helpful with answering questions and refilling banchan (opposed to some places I've been to around the States that usually ignore you if you aren't) We went during a less packed hour on a random weekday so parking and seating wasn't as large of an issue as some other reviews highlight. - Combo set is now $95 - Meats are fresh and tender. Excellent quality - The grill is charcoal flame and copper. The best for retaining heat. They also hold the suction thing pretty close. I would not recommend sitting directly in front of the grill. You will be cramped. -the ONLY complaint I have is that I had one seasoned tofu banchan that was made with stale tofu. But because I didn't pay for it, I will not dock a point off. Worth the drive!

Excellent spot for Korean Barbecue with a low key, simple vibe. Unique charcoal grills as the restaurant was established around 40 years ago. Great service by staff who check in but don't impose. Excellent meat quality, variety of side dishes and speed of service. Would definitely recommend and come again.

Pretty authentic feeling Korean BBQ joint. The food is pretty good and I thought the price was also really good for the amount of food you can order. We had the pancake, fried dumplings, dukbokki, and a bbq package that came with a bunch of ban chan and side dishes. It's a little bit of a trek from center city but if you have a car it's worth it for your Korean fix!
