the best cuts of meat i have had at any kbbq in Denver. the pork belly and spicy bulgogis are a must. the hot appetizer bar is also very delicious, but the salad/sauce bar was a bit underwhelming. they also have a giant screen constantly playing kpop music videos which I did enjoy. wait staff was phenomenal. huge shout out to Sebastian!

I would rate 100/10 for this place. The portion is huge so be calm when you order. The large intestine is so delicious. The octopus is fresh. And the service is really great! I shout out for the waiter who gave her hair tie right after I asked since I forgot and was afraid of the smell.

The atmosphere is quiet and vibrant! Perfect for a nice outing with my husband and kids! We've gone a few times when they are playing K-pop which my younger daughter loves. The food is absolutely delicious. They have excellent marinated meats. Their spicy pork bulgogi is so, so good. Their staff is so attentive and kind. I HIGHLY recommend trying it at least once. You'll want to go back asap!

After reading some of the reviews, we went in with some skepticism. The menu looked interesting, and the photos look good. But the negative reviews made us wonder. Our experience was top quality. The service was as good as any we have had anywhere. The server was so friendly and quick and helpful. Every food item was good. We went with Combo A and had plenty of choices for the two of us. If we came with a larger group, we'd try the Combo B. They even bring ice cream at the end. We really enjoyed it and we will definitely be back. Update: We came back with a larger group and tried Combo B. There are so many food options you can't try them all. Everything was so good. We even had a table with 2 grills which made it so much more convenient. Will definitely be back again.

The service was super good! The food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was super clean. My daughter dropped her chopsticks and they did not make her feel embarrassed, they got her new chopsticks as soon as they saw we did not even have to say anything. Great service from all the workers. We will be returning! Keep up the good work.

服务超好 食物超恶心! 烤炉速度超慢! We came here because of all the amazing reviews, but when we came here, we were super disappointed. We had to ask for tongs, and it seemed like they never put our order in. We also had to remind them of our order every single time, and when we got our food, it looked gray and disgusting. The chicken wings were bad, and the meat all tasted the same. The salad bar was almost always empty and they never refilled it. The only good part about this place was the waiters. They had a positive attitude and a smile on their faces. Maybe they were new and that is why they kept forgetting our orders. Good waiters, but food was terrible.

We had tried to come and eat here recently on a Sunday night and there was a 45 minute wait and we were not gonna be able to be seated. So we came back on a Sunday morning right when they open at 11 AM. That was the best decision ever. We had the most amazing waitress ever Viv. She explained the whole process to us and we were so unsure what to have that. She offered to bring items that were popular and she even cooked the food for us. It was such an amazing experience. Her customer service topped the whole experience. The food was fresh and everything tasted so great. I have a very picky, food critic, friend from New York who thinks Colorado’s food is not good at all and this blew her mind our way! We cannot wait to come back. They have a cool little robot that will bring your food to your table if they get busy, but since we had the amazing waitress, we didn’t get a chance to experience that. The decor was super cute and all the staff was friendly. It was a little pricey, and you only get two options for menu. But we recommend doing the most expensive option. That way you can get to take everything on the menu.

Went because we heard great reviews but left within three minutes of being seated. This place needs a serious attitude adjustment. The hostess looked like she hated her life and was rude when seating us. We came at 4 pm on a Saturday and there was only one other party of four. The waitress walked twice by us and didn’t introduce herself or offer any beverages. The waitress and hostess and what appeared to be another waiter were just standing in the back talking. We are not going to be spending money at an establishment that clearly couldn’t be bothered with us.

The meats were good, but everything else...0. The service was decent, not busy but two servers couldnt handle it. The atmosphere was okay...super cold. They had the a/c so high, it was freezing in there even with the grills on. The grills were on high but it didnt heat up very well.

Solid AYCE KBBQ with upbeat music, skip the apps/sides. Dinner is a little more expensive than lunch as you get the addition of LA galbi, boneless galbi, and pork intestine. The most amazing part of this experience is that we all left without smelling like grilled meat, even without having obtrusive vents at each table. KoBA has its own parking lot and generally is pretty easy to get a table, even with a larger group. We've found the staff generally to be pretty friendly and attentive when we've gone, but you may have to gently remind them if you're waiting on water/utensils if it gets busy. The music is loud and constant - the first time we went it was an energetic mix of EDM, most recently, it was an onslaught of K-pop girl groups that did get grating after a while. The main screen is for accompanying music videos, but smaller mounted screens along the side walls play various sports events so you constantly have stimuli. Like drinking? How about a somaek (beer + soju) tower? Appetizers, sauces, banchan, and lettuce are self-serve, while grilled ingredients (meat, veggies, seafood) and other sides can be ordered via the tablet at each table or your server. The meat comes out pretty quickly, even with large orders, which is nice. Once in a while the robot comes around to deliver something, but usually it'll be a human with a cart. The sides (soups, steamed egg, tteokbokki) are pretty disappointing, so save yourself and avoid these - why would you take up precious stomach space at an AYCE anyway? The kimchi is actually pretty decent, so I'll allow you those. Meat quality is good, with a nice variety of classic pork and beef options including pork belly, bulgogi, and sliced brisket, with a few chicken, seafood, and veggie options as well. You get tongs and a giant pair of Korean all-purpose kitchen shears at each table to cut up your own meat, and servers will change out grills at your request. For the price, I think this is a great option to (over)sate yourself with protein and would bring starving friends who are visiting.

Came here with some friends on a Sunday evening and was shocked to see the restaurant was almost completely empty but happy about no wait. There are no longer different level tiers to choose from, everybody pays the same price for AYCE dinner. Ordering is done on the table iPad, banchan and sauces is self-serve at a cold bar near the entrance of the restaurant. The variety and quality is not that great, half the sauces are not even labeled and kimchi was subpar. Surprisingly the chicken wings were pretty good at this station, we were lucky and got a fresh hot batch. Any other hot side dish/appetizer you may want is ordered through the iPad, such as steamed egg, corn, or soup. The serving sizes for each order of meat is massive, they have limits on some items like galbi but I am not sure if it's even possible to reach that limit unless that's the only thing you eat. As a group of 4 we were stuffed with just about 5 orders of meat. I made the mistake of ordering the spicy baby octopus which nobody else at my table wanted so I had a huge portion to eat myself and they were not the tiny ones I am used to. The meat quality was better than I expected for an AYCE, the short rib/galbi especially was pretty well marbled and not too fatty. I also liked the pork jowl and chadol. The veggie order portions are weird, I put in an order of mushrooms and thought it would be a huge amount based on what a portion of meat was - I ended up receiving 2 mushrooms. The service was very minimal, we could put in calls to call a waiter over through the iPad but normally at kbbq I expect someone to come by every once in a while without me asking to change out my grill, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. We also did not receive some items and had to keep ordering them to get it through the system. I thought overall my experience here was just fine, I honestly feel like I am getting too old for AYCE and would rather just pay more for a la carte and better quality. I can imagine maybe it's more fun to come here when it's busier and the kpop is louder, but for us it was just a pretty quiet dinner. No vibes, just beef.

Recently went here and it was in a worse state then when I last came a year prior. The service was mediocre at best as they barely come over unless we got up from our seats and waved at them. There weren't that many people either which makes it worse. The food was less than subpar. The meat was whatever and the rice was dry. After this experience I won't be coming back until I hear good news about it. 1/5

Came here for an early dinner. We found parking right away in their own private parking area. Walking in, we were seated right away. We ordered the beef brisket, which was good. Pork belly was just okay. The large intestine, I normally dont like. But this place, i can stay was very good. It didnt have that odd taste or smell. Beef tongue was pretty good, too. But the LA Galbi was chewy. The bonchon and appetizer buffet was very nice. The garlic chicken wings were very good. meal came with free ice cream in the buffet station. Will come back here again.

I was worried to come based on the reviews and rating, but overall my husband and I enjoyed this place. Perry good size but seems to get busy (or at least on NYE) with couples and groups. We got combo A which comes with the buffet. There wasn't any cheese corn and the Korean fried chicken were disappointing. However, the other buffet foods were delicious. Love the varied kimchi. The meats we got were very good and had great flavor. My husband liked the sirloin and I liked the bulgogi beef. The fish cake kimchi was also good. Service was a bit slow but very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a good experience and we would come back and I recommend it.

My cousin & I tried this place out a few weeks ago. I have very few people that I can do KBBQ with so when my cousin came to visit I took the opportunity. KoBa is your typical AYCE KKBQ spot. We got Combo B but I would personally stick to Combo A. The meats & the chap chae were what drew us to Menu B but unfortunately they didn't have any noodles when we were there. Our favorite meats came mainly from Menu A & the few we wanted from Menu B came out frozen which isn't always my favorite. However I would definitely come again. The ambience is great! They also have quick and friendly service. Don't forget to pair your meal w/ some Soju (:

This place is completely different than what I recalled from back in February. I'm not sure what happened but I was hugely disappointed. Rice was super dry, no radish sheets or lettuce to make wraps with. Got the combo B and felt that it was not worth the 50$ price point. Wine pork belly tasted only like wine, chadol had no fat and was super chewy. The short rib was also more on the sour side as well. Texture was just okay. If you were going I would just get the combo A. Pork belly was probably the best on the menu. The staff was also a bit slow. It would take them awhile to bring mushrooms or rice. In addition we were a group of 3 and they were typically only bring a portion size for 2...so I always had to ask for more everytime. I'm just not sure I would be back again after this experience. I hope other's experience will be better than mine.

New AYCE KBBQ spot in Denver! I loved how there were a variety of meats and sides to choose from. There were 2 price options - we chose the more expensive option, but I feel that the lower tier would be enough. I haven't seen this much variety in terms of sides such as tteokbokki, corn cheese, kimchi jigae and crab ragoon! I just wish they had radish wrappers. I give it 4 stars because the meat quality was just okay - I've had better at other AYCE KBBQ places. I loved the ambiance - Kpop music + large TV screens. The tables were also very clean.

We came in around 5pm and there was no wait. It did take a little while for the host to seat us. Afterwards, we were not greeted for awhile until our whole party arrived. No menu to look at during that time. The service was about 2.5/5. A lot of the serving are done through machines. Food was okay. We chose Combo B ($40.99? Pp) which included all of Combo A ($34.99 pp) as well. The portions for meat are small. Random note but the crab ragoons tasted like water. No flavor at all. The restaurant itself is clean. There is plenty of seating but I'm not sure if there are tables that are big to fit more than 4 parties. They were squeezing people in at a four seater table. I would not come here again for the prizes are outrageous. Options aren't bad but only worth it if you would eat everything.

So far, this has been my favorite Korean BBQ spot! Came on a Wednesday afternoon and we were sat immediately. You can choose between 2 combos for a reasonable price. We chose combo A for a nice price of $35 for all you can eat... careful, they'll charge you for leftover food at regular price! Everything we ordered hit the spot. For the apps, we tried the crab cheese wontons, seaweed salad, corn cheese, edamame and Korean fried chicken. My favorite of the apps was either the corn cheese or wontons! For protein, we ordered: beef belly, bulgogi, sirloin fillet, pork belly, teriyaki chicken, and popcorn shrimp (my favorite was the bulgogi, chicken, and shrimp) I also tried the Kimchi Jjigae soup with spicy sliced kimchi, tofu, and pork soup... Arguably I could've been happy without the soup considering how terribly full I was by the end of lunch, but very tasty! I didn't think it was all too spicy, but my tolerance for spice is pretty high. Highly recommend this place!

I was invited to this establishment for a friends birthday recently. It's highly recommended that you make reservations and ensure you give them the right number in your party or it can cause confusion. That being said the staff accommodated us without batting an eye. They brought our food out in a timely manner and we all had a great time. Though the restaurant was modest it looked very clean.

Loved this place when it first opened. Seems like they decided to cut a lot of corners to make things more efficient. Although the new food bar is nice, the hot appetizers are often overcooked from sitting under a heat lamp too long. The cold food bar has a lot of "choose your own adventure" items. The mac salad and kim chi looked like they had been out all day. The lettuce and salad mix had some discolored lettuce as well. The menu selections are good and there are a lot of options. Our waiter was very attentive. But overall, I think quality of the food has gone down since they first opened. Hopefully, they go back to their roots as its nice to have a Korean BBQ option in West Denver.

First time having KBBQ in Denver and this place is good! The staff here are friendly and great. The atmosphere is on point - large screen playing various Korean artists and music. They have soju and beer. The meat and appetizer selection are amazing and the food is really good. I highly recommend this place. I'd come back when i visit again!

This was our favorite spot and we advocated for this place despite inconsistent meats and service. They have made some positive changes to streamline the process and they now give more meats for every serving you order. The problem is the they now have shady business practices and we will never return. Having sesame oil is integral part of eating Korean BBQ. At the sauce bar, they only have a container called "oil". When I asked the staff and servers multiple times about the oil, they explicitly told me that the oil counter was in fact sesame oil. I tasted and smelled it and it was definitely a vegetable or canola oil. After I confronted the staff, they told me they don't keep sesame oil out because it's too expensive to provide to the customers... ok sounds good. Never coming here again. Not to mention that a lot of the staff aren't the friendliest. They don't know how to greet or welcome customers. Overall, you can play your K-pop and have your appetizer and side dish bar all you want, we are never coming back, and our friends aren't either. We're also no longer advocating for this place in the many foodie groups we are in. By the way, we gave this place more chances AFTER they gave us decaying marinated meat. I'm not joking. It was spoiled and they served it to us. The staff aren't not trained in food safety. If a place constantly disappoints you, then most likely it's not longer a viable establishment. I don't know why we kept coming back. We kept justifying that there's no other KBBQ places in Denver but that couldn't be further from the truth.

2.5 stars. Unimpressed. Was excited to try this new Korean BBQ but left disappointed. They have two price options, I think the lower tier is truly all you need. This was my partner and I'd first time at a KBBQ restaurant so was hoping for a little bit more direction from our server when we had asked for any tips and pointers but he just sort of blew us off. Was inattentive throughout our dining as well. Most of our thinly cut meats were pretty low quality with arteries throughout- not unhealthy by any measure but just disappointing. Large spread of banchan to start! Fun ambiance with K-Pop music videos playing on the screens surrounding the restaurant! Busy which is always exciting for a new restaurant too! Hopefully some of these issues are ironed out as time goes on!

What a gem in Denver!! Like every AYCE KBBQ, there is a wait. Let me tell you, it's worth the wait! The service is superb! We got the Combo B. With this option, there were plenty to choose from. The appetizers were amazing. My faves were chicken karaage and shrimp tempura. The Korean pancakes were decent. But don't fill your tummy with the appetizers! For proteins, my go-tos are the galbi, large intestines, pork jowls and boneless short ribs. Some other fillers they have are noodles - black bean, buldak and ramen. With so much options for anyone and everyone, this is the place to dine!

Best KBBQ in Denver - relatively newer interior, soju options, and good quality meat Several things that I really want to point out about this place: - I like that the meat marinate was not overly sweet or salty, unlike some other places in Denver. - there are two all you can eat price options, both include some appetizers as well - I suggest come here really early to avoid the crowd and wait. There's a parking lot with limited parking spots. - My favorite was the shrimp and the wine pork belly

Yalls, KoBA is definitely a contender for food quality Korean BBQ in Colorado. They offered two menus and both decently priced - 33/40 dollars per person. Staff was very friendly and some are still in training ad they had just opened a few weeks ago. We came on a weekday right when it opened so I can't fully tell how service would be when it is busier. Our server was able to get the food out fairly quickly. We didn't get to experience this but they do have robots to help bring the food to your table! The grill does take a bit of time to heat up but the controls easily accessible for you to turn up or down as desired. Overall, the quality of meat was great and with the pricing, I highly recommend checking it out. Of course, there is room to improve like any new restaurants. A side of me wished they offered radish paper or rice paper to help enhance the flavor but that's just me. Other sides like the kimchi, etc was not terrible. The salad did look a bit sad and the portion would definitely not enough for a table more than 4.

Excellent service, really fun K-pop atmosphere, and delicious food. I especially loved the Korean pancake, marinated boneless short rib, and the teriyaki chicken. Only thing I didn't love was the ramen - the noodles didn't taste fresh, more of a box noodle vibe. Really good, will certainly be back!

The serving sizes here are actually a normal size. We appreciated that. This way you can multiple things and don't feel like you have to overindulge. The robots are a fun concept. It comes to drop off food for you and then you can put dishes on it when it comes to you. I would recommend. I haven't tried any drinks here though. Fun to have the kpop playing in the background

Great service and ambiance. Excellent Korean bbq. They have cute little robot that brings you your food. The kids were extremely fascinated by this. Def would recommend coming here . My new go to spot for Korean bbq.

Strengths of KoBA are all in the food that you have to barbecue yourself. The restaurant prepared items (soups, appetizers) are not Korean... and the bigger issue is that they are not tasty. Items like brisket are not marinated and since they come frozen, the quality is as good as it can reasonably be. Marinated items like Kalbi or intestines are tasty. Very understaffed so despite how busy and engaged the staff is, do expect delays and forgotten orders. Ambiance is warm and festive. There are larger tables towards the corner back wall and are ideal for larger groups. Upgrades on the authenticity or tastiness of the restaurant prepared items can go a long way for this promising place.

Best Korean BBQ Spot so far in Denver that we've come across. When I say the best part of the meal was the Korean Fried Chicken it's true, I can't say enough good things about this fried chicken. Honestly, ordered from BBQ Chicken once and this place knocks that place on it's butt. We got the combo A meal and we thought that was enough. This was a nice and bright restaurant, not like a dark bar or blasting florescent lights. We liked the layout and it wasn't smokey at all. With that being said, the grill got hot enough to cook the meats, but it took a while. We tried almost everything and all the meats were good. The pork belly was thicccck. Our favorites were the beef bulgogi and the spicy pork belly. The garlic pork belly was our least favorite because it had a weird texture and aftertaste. Every item needed the extra salt and ssamjang in my opinion and lacked a lot of flavor, but satisfied our kbbq craving. We also ordered lettuce wraps which was not on the menu but an amazing addition. Our server was awesome and on top of it. If it's not busy, they deploy cat robot servers! But unfortunately when we went they couldn't use them because of how the tables are laid out and how many people were there. Bummer, but you can still pet them to get a different face lit on their face screen.

The hubs and I came with a friend last weekend. We arrived at 5:30 and still had a 30 minute wait so my advice is to come early. Once we were seated, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to order already so we got right down to business. We sampled Korean fried chicken wings (good but not mind blowing) seaweed salad (I love seaweed salad) black bean noodles (quite tasty even for packaged instant noodles) Korean pancake (nice and crispy/borderline greasy) Bulgogi beef (fave of the night) Chicken (nice marinade) Short rib (there was a lot to cook off and I'd go for the bulgogi over this next time) Spam (for my hubs and our friend) Veggies (the potato was ok and didn't cook well) Our server was great and when we said we were done, her response was, "already?" I guess we were light eaters which I've never been accused of being before. Overall, really good, fast service and I'd come back!

Seating enough for large parties and very clean. The food was good, meats were good quality though I was disappointed daikon/pickled radish was not available as a side dish. The server was very short with us during the experience. We were only given 1 menu for 8 people. Food was placed on the table without a word/explanation which led to some confusion. There was a "CALL" button but we felt like using was only making our server more curt in our interactions. Then we continued receiving things that we did not order. We tried asking about confirming items on our order, only to be scoffed at and told "I already gave you that." I'm not sure if they were short staffed or what, but the service has me second-guessing another visit.

High quality meats and great service. The price is really good too for everything that's included. You can get appetizers, veggies, ramen, fried rice all included! I highly recommend trying it if you like AYCE kbbq

So stoked to have a quality K-BBQ place close by! The customer service was top notch. Everyone was so attentive and friendly. The ambiance was that of one I feel like I'd see in a posh bbq place in Korea- bright colors and k-pop music videos playing. My only personal complaint is they don't have a variety of kimchi or rice papers/radish to wrap the bbq. I also crave a typical soy bean paste BUT I can't let that take away a star when everything they do have on the menu is absolutely fantastic. We ordered the basic option and it was all you needed IMO. My favorites included the Korean fried chicken, beef short rib, the salad, and the soy- like pickled radish, onion, and jalapeño. Yum!

I was really hoping I'd love this place, but sadly, it wasn't my favorite! Their AYCE is offered as two tier options. Our party was satisfied with the cheaper tier! It had the options we like: pork belly, brisket, and bulgolgi. You also can order different veggies, appetizers, and soups. The meats were fine, I expected a little more out of the quality, to be honest. We also got kimchi jjigae, tteokbokki, and corn cheese. I was pretty unimpressed by these extra dishes. The corn cheese wasn't cheesy enough and it was too sweet. It was as if the main flavor/base was a sweet cream or something. The tteokbokki was too hard in the center - not chewy. It was as if they used frozen rice cakes and did not heat them up properly so that the center could soften. Also, this isn't a huge deal, but rice doesn't automatically come with the meal we did have to ask for it. Otherwise, the space is fun!! They've got a huge TV screen playing kpop videos, which really makes it a lively atmosphere. Service is also great! They have your standard call buttons to flag a server to your table. I wouldn't necessarily go back on my own, but I would come in a group for a casual dinner!

Got option B so was able to try everything and yes everything was delicious, especially loved the fact that we are able to get up and choose our own toppings and sauces. (They did not have the pickled kimchi cucumber :(( ) Enjoyed the fact that they use stainless steel for everything including the chopsticks. Vibe was fun and really modern throughout the restaurant. However, service was mediocre. Only reason I'm giving this place three stars. We waited more than thirty minutes just for water. (FOR WATER) We would only ask for little things like lettuce, napkins, and yup you guessed it water and it would take our server forever in a day. Other than that food was great!

AYCE KBBQ!!! We were so excited when we heard that we did not have to travel all the way to Aurora for Korean bbq. When we arrived, we were instantly greeted and seated. Our waitress took our orders right away. And the meats generally came out pretty fast. Service is fantastic here! There are two levels of all you can eat- the beginner package priced at $32.95 and the expert package priced at $39.95. I don't believe there is a cost difference between lunch and dinner. We loved that all the basic necessities of kbbq were included in the beginner package; our favorites were brisket, beef belly, short rib, and pork belly. All the appetizers were also really yummy! Like most kbbq joints, KoBa also has its own set of banchan. Those were quite tasty too; unfortunately they don't offer radish or rice paper... but we can totally overlook that for the meat quality that is served! We will be returning to try the expert package!

The service was amazing! The food was so delicious considering it was AYCE! The restaurant was so nice definitely for younger crowds, music is a little loud but overall great experience

Pros: the large selection and quality of food. So much to choose from and the amount of appetizers. Ice cream. The call button. Delivery robots although it only dropped off one of our items. Rest was dropped off by staff. Food is really good. I love that they marinate some of them meats. Cons: The price OUCH! Not enough sides. They only give you the picked zucchini, kimchi, seaweed, salad and the radish. Grill is very small. It's enough for one person and was very tight for 2. Can't eat here all the time but worth it if you can put it away.

Was really good when they first opened, now seem to have fallen off. Grill's don't get as hot, sauce and hot app bar smells rancid, service was fine.

Everything was pretty good but the sides were bare came with 3 versus other spots that have a least 5 options. The protein selection is good and the portions make sense without being wasteful. The ambiance is nice for the area and makes sense. It's not a place for a meeting per day but for a good time and good food. Service was also friendly and communicative. Great addition to South Federal!

Honestly, probably now my favorite KBBQ in Colorado (although kbbq is always best at home). This place is definitely slightly more expensive than other kbbq places, but I would argue that the quality of the meat is better. When the meat came out, it didn't look like it had been in the freezer for a while...I personally wasn't a fan of their wine marinated meats (i'm not a red wine girl). But, I really enjoyed the pork jowl, beef tongue, and the koba strip! I would definitely come back here, but only when I'm willing to spend some money and treat myself. Service was kind, however, they opened a few minutes late, which wasn't a big deal. Going when they open at 11 was definitely the move as there was no wait. As for the ambiance? It's fine, nothing special. I just can't forget about the seafood boil place that used to be in the building, haha. Overall, would recommend!

Ordered Combo B with high hopes that it meets the expectations of best value and quality meat. Appetizers we ordered was the shrimp tempura, it was good and it was a good start but everything fell apart with the meat and banchan served. The chadol, beef belly, rib eye, steak cuts were really dry- straight from the freezer, which makes the meat dry as soon as it hits the hot pan. The instant ramen also tasted bad, who screws up instant ramen. Kimchi jjigae is too salty and sweet. The rice felt like it was left in warm the entire night leaving it with the hard dry brittle texture. The marinated short rib felt like it was marinated with white sugar for tooooo long. The only thing that was good was the shrimp tempura and hot chap chae. 41.99 is not worth going to this place. The service is upto par tho. Really good service. Ambiance reminds me of Gen korean bbq (except its red) from CA And that place also gives hype up kbbq with mediocre meats but more variety. I guess if ur a starter for kbbbq u can go here but if youve had so much experience on kbbq out of state dont go to colorado. lmao

I cannot fully put into words how great of an experience this was. I love how modern and updated the place is without being over the top. It's just a fun atmosphere! Everyone that helped us was incredibly friendly and helpful! The food was fantastic! I was a little hesitant to cook the meat, and one of the employees saw that and came right over to help and chat. Their kimchi is so good! We had an absolute blast, and will be back often!

Food was a hit and miss and the service was not that great. I recommend the beef belly, LA galbi , and beef tongue. These were all so yummy. However, the brisket was super dry and the wine pork belly was not good at all. I don't recommend either. Also the side dishes were slacking, rice wasn't cooked all the way, the Korean pancake was just batter (pic for reference). I, personally, was not impressed. We waited a while to be seated. It seemed like the people working weren't cleaning and seating people in an efficient manner. But once we were seated the service continued to be slow and we had to remind our server a couple times of what we asked because they kept forgetting. I don't know if they didn't have enough staff for the dinner rush or what. The ambiance was modern and lively. I really wanted to like this place but, sadly, I don't know if I'll come back here again.

Meat options are so good, not a bad price! Good environment, good music! Service is pretty good. Im not a huge fan of the self service sides and a few appetizers & they charge kids pretty much full prize which is only frustrating due to my 4 year old that doesn't eat much.. lol but other than that it's a great place.

Great food, ok service. We came here on a Saturday at 11:40am. There was only 1 guy working & he told us someone would come in 20 minutes so it was going to be a wait which we said was fine. At 12 someone came & served us and she was really nice. We ordered combo B. Everything we ordered was so good including the starters. The appetizers we got were gyoza, crab cheese wontons (there's no crab btw), spicy rice cake, fried rice & corn cheese. The meats we got were boneless short rip, beef bulgulgi, spicy pork bulgulgi, brisket, & spam. Everything was so good and flavorful EXCEPT the brisket. I was very disappointed because brisket is my favorite kbbq meat. It was thicker than usual & didn't taste like brisket usually does. Besides the brisket not tasting good, the service was also not that great because they kept forgetting almost everything we ordered. So we were too busy trying to remember what we ordered that we didn't try other things which we wish we did. We got there at 11:40 & didn't leave until 1:45. Two hours....... I would have given this place 5 stars if the service was better and the brisket was thinner.

This place took over the Cajun haus. They literally put a sign over the old place. This is a great place to have a Korean bbq because there aren't many near Denver, and it's all you can eat. So the table has to all decide which combo you want to do. Combo A gives you half the menu to choose from and combo B gives you the whole menu. My biggest tip for you is to order a little at a time and then add on as you go. Once you order, everything comes really quick, esp since they do not have to cook anything at all. And they give huge portions at a time, which I think they should give less esp since it's all you can eat or maybe they do it on purpose. I came here twice, the first time they were crazy busy, our 20 mins wait turned ti over an hour. They weren't cleaning tables or seating tables and just seemed they didn't know how to handle busy yet. The second time made my rating go lower for the poor experience. The meat are all pretty good. But the pork belly is super thick and takes longer to cook. As for for corn cheese, that was horrible, tasted like cream cheese more than anything. The jjigae and the chap char was very bland. The gyoza was not my favorite thing. For the ramen, it was on the expensive combo, because of that I assumed it was actually ramen but instead it was the package ramen that you get from the gas stations. There were some things I told the server I wasn't a fan of and she made me pay extra for wasting food instead.... Thus the low rating. At the end of the meal your suppose to be offered ice cream, our server did not that do that and it wasn't busy. I may just stick to Aurora for Korean bbq honestly.

If you're ever craving Korean food, this place is definitely a real contender for good KBBQ. It's an AYCE KBBQ, so you can order as much meat as you like and also add on appetizers too. Honestly, I was surprised by the quality of the food they served. The meat was of good quality, and the sides were great as well. Everything was delicious and the prices were reasonable to me. The wait staff were pretty attentive and on it, so we got our food pretty quick. I just really enjoyed the variety of meats and sides they had to offer. So if you are ever interested in trying them, come with a group so that you can try as many things as possible!

Tried this place this weekend after seeing it plastered on the internet with influencers. We stopped by for lunch, and were surprised that the lunch menu costs the SAME as the dinner menu! What a rip off. $43 per person for the option B LUNCH. The bonchon sides are all self serve, and lacking variety. The appetizers are also self serve- and are cold to the touch (Korean fried chicken, wontons, eggrolls). All this self serve bs- and still the lowest tip option on the machine is 20%, so the total price per person with tax and tip was $53 with no drink. LA galbi meat is limited one per person, and was tougher than usual, lacking intense flavor. There are 11, yes ELEVEN giant TVs blasting female K pop music videos so it is hard to have conversations with friends while dining. Save yourself the disappointment and go to a REAL KBBQ place like Seoul KBBQ rather than this place.
