Let's Meat Kbbq

Ella was absolutely fantastic of a server. From the very beginning, she made she we had excellent service and recommendations! Honestly this experience was the best service I’ve had in Charlotte in the last 6 years. Food was amazing & priced well. They are open and the service is top notch

This is the first time that we have been to Let’s Meat since they reopened. Everything was absolutely delicious! We are so glad that they are back. Ella was our server and was extremely attentive and helpful. Our food was always delivered extremely fast. She helped with tips on cooking. Our grill plate was always clean. We will be back for sure.

Love their variety of side dishes, meat options, and sauces. I have been waiting for a long time for them to reopen and they didn’t disappoint! Everyone had their own job and we got everything quickly. They just released their tempura squid and it is a must try. It’s a shame that they don’t offer butter with their shrimp no more. So glad they are able to validate your parking now so it’s free. Just remember to ask for voucher/coupon after your meal.

I recently dined at Let’s Meat, hoping for an enjoyable Korean barbecue experience, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. From the outset, the concept seemed promising, but several issues quickly became apparent. One of the most noticeable problems was the inconsistent portion sizes. As more items were ordered throughout the meal, the portion sizes noticeably shrank, which felt both misleading and frustrating, especially given the all-you-can-eat format typically associated with Korean barbecue. The quality of the meat was also disappointing. Cuts lacked freshness and flavor, and the overall quality did not reflect the $40 per person price point. For a restaurant that markets itself as a premium dining spot, the ingredients simply didn’t meet the mark. The most concerning part of the evening, however, was discovering a hair in one of my dishes. When I brought this to the server’s attention, the only response was to replace my chopsticks and metal plate—an insufficient gesture for a clear hygiene issue. No genuine apology or proactive steps were taken until the end of the meal, when a $15 discount was offered after I expressed my dissatisfaction. Even then, it required speaking with a manager, and I was initially offered a gift card toward a future visit—which, after that experience, I have no intention of using. In summary, Let’s Meat failed to deliver on both quality and basic customer service. Between shrinking portions, low-grade meat, and the mishandling of a serious hygiene concern, this was not only a disappointing meal but one that left a lasting negative impression.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and lively. The quality of the meats was top-tier—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. What really made the night unforgettable, though, was our server Carl. He was attentive without being overbearing, super knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure our grill stayed on point the entire time. Carl truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you’re craving Korean BBQ and want excellent service to match, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

The food here was top-notch—tender, flavorful meats and delicious side dishes that kept coming. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly right at the table. What really made the night was our server, Carl. He was friendly, attentive, and super knowledgeable. He gave great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed without missing a beat. Great food, great vibes, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back—and asking for Carl again!

Was one of my favorite locations in Charlotte; but, I will not be back. Brought a group of friends here and drove 3 cars since parking is supposed to be comped. We each set parking meter for 2 hours. Since our grill got turned off before we were done eating and had to wait for it to reheat we left right at 2 hours and our parking expired right as we were entering in the provided codes. The codes didn't work since our meters expired and was just told there was nothing they could do. There is no signage at the entrance about needing to enter codes before they expire.

i’m so happy that let’s met has finally reopened!! i’ve been meaning to come back and was able to today. imo, the best kbbq in town. the banchan was so tasty and the quality of the pork belly and other meats were amazing ! the beef and radish soup was everything i was dreaming of… our server ella did an amazing job and was super attentive and nice! will definitely be back.

I visited a popular all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ spot in Charlotte, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The quality of the meat was top-notch--fresh, tender, and perfect for grilling--and the side dishes (banchan) were delicious and frequently replenished. The restaurant's open-concept layout was clean, organized, and welcoming. While there was a time limit, the staff never made us feel rushed, likely because it wasn't too busy when we went. Instead, they were incredibly attentive, refilling our drinks promptly and ensuring we had everything we needed, from extra meat to fresh banchan. If you're in the Charlotte area and love KBBQ, I would highly recommend this spot for just $40 a person. With excellent food, and great service you will definitely get your moneys worth!

Food was top tier went to celebrate my sons bday we opted in for the regular menu, premium didn't really have much other than lamb, wagu(+12$), and some other stuff you can still get by on high quality with the regular menu. Service was great, the gentleman that served us made my son's day, and was very attentive although it was a busy Friday night. We look forward to dinner here again in the near feature

Last weekend I had an early dinner at Let's Meat. I've been to a few Korean BBQ restaurants. It was a pleasant experience, and although it wasn't my favorite kbbq ever, we were satisfied. Pros: Great service in casual atmosphere. We lucked out with our waitress (the blonde haired lifesaver who helped us tremendously when we struggling to cook the food properly). They give you a coupon code with a $2.00 credit for parking (although the code I received was invalid). Bulgogi was on the menu, and it was easily the best item they offer. The prices listed didn't exceed $30.00 pp like most of the Korean BBQ places I've tried. Cons: Parking may be a smidge of a pain. The menu was pretty limited. Less meat and side options than all of the other similar restaurants I've tried. The helpers weren't too friendly. Our waitress would take our re-up order, and someone else would bring the items to the table. The female runner helping out had a bit of an attitude...she never said one word, even when we acknowledged her. All-in-all, our food was tasty and our waitress couldn't have been any better. It's worth a visit.

I wish I could give this place 1,000 stars. The quality of the food is fantastic. I've tried just about every meat option on the menu, and none of them disappoint. The sides are also delicious! I also can't say enough good things about the service here. The hosts are always on top of their game. And the wait staff are so upbeat and friendly--they seem genuinely happy to take care of you. The restaurant (bathrooms, tables, etc.) is always clean and tidy! I hate that the place burned down!!!! Please come back!!!!!

A few more things to add the list of "must try" Ribeye Chili Shrimp Fatty Brisket Just try not to sit Daniel's section (I think that's his name). Hispanic kid, he wasn't very attentive. An Asian male server with glasses actually was more helpful. He's dope. Thanks...

Thoroughly enjoyed this place! Great service and great food....if you leave hungry shame on you! Will be back!!

Let's Meat Kbbq is an interesting place that I very well could have given a 4 or 5 star had I had been given better information on how the process works. That was a very expensive experience to not know what you are doing as we had never been to a Korean Bbq restaurant before. We didn't know anything about the sauces that were provided to us and how to use and we were given very little detail on how to order and how to complete the experience and how to use what, even after asking our waiter. Our waiter was very disinterested even after asking was this our first time here. So $100 during lunchtime got a meal for two that we didn't get near the experience that we should have or could have. The restaurant was clean and the set up good. There is not a lot of free parking so plan for that and there is no option to not get the buffet so prepare for that. Go hungry and maybe watch a video before you go. I regret not doing that and I regret not letting the manager know how subpar our waiter was. I am willing to try it again because I feel I would enjoy the food and the experience but I won't be so casual about lack luster service which is what caused my experience to be just that.

Second KBBQ I've been to in the charlotte area. First one was Iron Dish. They have more side plate options than Iron Dish. The service was relatively fast and the food was good. Decent pricing for all you can eat too! Downside: I don't think they have their own parking lot (and if they do; it was very small and offered limited space). So be prepared to pay $15 for parking.

The food, food, food...all you can eat and you can grill to each persons desire. They also have a great number of items that are gluten free. The service was quick, and steady, our waiter even recalled all the drink orders and was on top of everything from explaining, recommending, and anticipating.

The first time I came here was during Valentine's day so we had to wait over two hours since they dont have reservations. But this time we went around 2pm and surpirsingly we didnt have to wait at all for a table and the service was super fast! The waiters are always very nice and give you a run-down f it's your first time doing kbbq. The steak and pork belly are my personal favorites! I thought the saffron pork belly tasted better than the lemon garlic but both were really good. Last time they had a rosemary pork belly that I really liked too but looks like they took it off the meny. The banchan are really tasty too, especially the pickled radish. They also give you three different types of sauces which are all pretty unique and is fun to experiment eating different meats and sauces together. Love that they also have pineapple you can order which we threw on the grill and put in our wraps!

I've visited several Korean BBQs in my day, including two in Seoul, Korea. Now that one was awesome. But the hubby and I decided to try Let's Meat since we hadn't been to one together since we visited Korea in 2018. We met on a Saturday afternoon. There was zero wait so we were immediately sat. The booths were roomy for two people and once our waitress let us know how to order we dove in. We started with pork belly and spicy chicken (for the hubby). We were greeted with an array of side dishes which my husband enjoyed a bit more. I did order the bone marrow soup which didn't have a ton of flavor but I ate it. We also ordered bulgogi beef, steak, and brisket. I also had an order of japchae, I just wish it was served hot. I also tried the corn cheese and was not a fan. But I always wanted to try it as I like both cheese and corn but didn't really like it together. I would come back but I do miss the one in Korea. LOL.

This was our first time visiting a KBBQ restaurant and we really enjoyed our lunch. There were a lot of options for meats and sides. Our favorites were the garlic pork belly, both the bulgogi meats, and the green bean side. We preferred the meats that were seasoned. The staff was friendly and made it a great interactive experience!

My husband and I came to visit Charlotte from Wilmington and Korean BBQ was first on our list! They have everything you could ever want. Loads of marinated pork belly, steak, chicken, mushrooms, and much more. We loved how you were able to cook everything the way you wanted and everything was absolutely delicious! Our server provided the best service we've received in a really long time. He was so attentive and carried on an amazing conversation for most of the night. I think his name was Marshall (I'm sorry if I got your name wrong but you know who you are!) and he was wonderful. Loved the super casual environment! You'll be pretty safe in anything you choose to wear. You absolutely get your money's worth here. $38 and all you can eat is a steal--just make sure you have a big appetite. We would absolutely come back next time we're in Charlotte! This was probably one of the most fun restaurants we've been to for a date night in a long time.

Sometimes I'm scared to write bomb ass reviews for bomb ass places because I'm scared the wait for a table will become endless, but that's gatekeeping, and this place is great, so I am gonna write it anyways. I gotta talk about how great Let's Meat KBBQ is. This place is amazing, not just because I love Korean barbecue, but because the ambiance is fun, upbeat, and urban, the quality of the food is top notch (pricing is good value too), and lastly the service and the staff are fantastic!!! If you haven't ever had KBBQ, this should be the first place you ever go to! It should set the standard, because it's SO GOOD, you may make Korean barbecue your new favorite type of cuisine! I've been to plenty of places in LA and other cities, so it wasn't my first, but I knew coming in that the food was legit! You have all your authentic and classic KBBQ grill sides, (kimchi, pickled veggies, radish, greens to wrap your proteins, fluffy eggs, cheesy corn!!! And more) all of your choices of high-quality meat: from chicken, pork, beef, and seafood! ALL OF THIS is part of an buffet (all you can eat) experience. It's incredibly value, and in a very classy, exciting, and wonderful experience. So good for friends and family! So they'll basically bring out your meat (3 max at a time) and you just order and eat for I think 2 hours max. They may charge you if you order a bunch of meat and leave not eating a ton of it, but it's good because it promotes less food waste. Tables set up nicely, nice grills, decent sized tables for all the dishes that you have, it's a good system running there! Maverick was our waiter, and he was really great to remember things and get all the orders in, but also explaining things and coming over to help cook every once in a while! We had a really great time, and I will 100% be coming back multiple times! Love this place! Keep it up y'all! TL;DR: Impressive KBBQ place in Charlotte area that is incredible, worth the wait, great quality meat and ingredients, wonderful service, really cool and industrial/creative decor, super fun dining experience for new and old to the cuisine! Prices are very valuable, especially with all you can eat! Ask your waiter questions if you're not sure of what to eat/how to cook, etc! Recommend this place HIGHLY, and will be coming back!

Expect a long wait when you get here , as it fills quickly for dinner and there's no reservation options. But it is definitely worth the wait! We drove over a hour just for this place! (The 336 area unfortunately doesn't have an all you can eat Korean restaurant) Ive been here a few times and each time was a great experience . Staff is great and constantly checking on us to make sure we don't need any extra refills or meat . I think the most I've gone is 4 rounds of meat and tapped out . The meats pair so well with the small banchans (small side dishes) . You can refill on the banchans by request too. We always get the flavored soju for drinks too. What I love so much about Korean bbq is that it lets you engage with the people you're having dinner with . You're having fun cooking the various meats in front of you and engaging in conversation. It's a fun experience for sure .

I agree! Don't waste your money! Came with a group of 6 and each of us ended up spending $50. We probably order max of 3 rounds bc server took forever and forgot some items. And his breath was kicking. They provided butter but the grill was burnt by the time server brought more food. Beware of the parking lot now. Must pay for the parking, we saw two cars being towed.

Do not waste your money. This place is not worth it. I been to other Korean BBQ place and this is the only place that limits you so much. For example, you can only pick 3 proteins at a time even in a big group. Which I would guess if the portion size made sense but they would bring small pieces of meat for 10 people like it is basically a single serving. Also, it is impossible to get the server to order more. So a lot of the time you are waiting. So basically it all you can eat but small portion and they make sure you don't get your food fast enough. Now about the food taste there literally no flavor and the meat not consistent. Like we order the beef bulgogi multiple times because it the only meat that had some sort of flavor but sometimes it come out completely different. There are also not enough bathrooms in this place. It is always packed and they only have two gender-specific bathrooms. Which is really inconvenient as there always a wait.

Our server was super nice, and everyone was kid-friendly. I loved it. The food prices have gone up, but the quality of the meat was good. They only allowed us to order three types of meat at a time, and we ordered just three rounds before we were satisfied. It cost $40 per person, which is quite expensive. Overall, it was a good one-time experience, but the price is on the higher side.

So yeah it Korean bbq, but I don't think it's good Korean bbq. The food is just ok, the japchea was sad looking, it arrived at the table and I had to ask what that was because it looked unlike anything I had seen. The dumplings are from the grocery (I know because I have the same ones in my freezer) the lettuce I don't think was washed. Also no plates only tiny metal (gets hot when you hold) side dish containers given.

For $36.99/person AYCE, this place is a solid/average KBBQ place. They definitely let us stay a little over 2 hours and did not seem to be rushing us out. We had 8 people and sat at 2 tables next to each other. We arrived at 4:15pm on Friday after Thanksgiving. There were 9 parties ahead of us but by 4:45pm we got notification that they were ready for us to sit down. The service was probably one of the best services we've gotten at a KBBQ place in most cities. I would like to give 1 full star for our server who came around almost every 15-20 minutes to check on our tables. The food itself was alright. I think what really disappointed my family and myself was the bibimbap and cold noodles. It's not your typical bibimbap with different toppings. It was just bed of lettuce, rice on top, some korean seaweed, and then sauce. We added a bunch of our bulgogi and pork belly meat into the "bibimbap" to make it appetizing. Same with the cold noodles. It was just the same sauce with plain noodles. Favorites of the night were: bulgogi (kinda overly sweet but most of us liked it), pork belly (lots of different seasoning types), and butter squid (cook in the foil tin!!). The LA Kalbi is an additional $15 and it was pretty good. I don't think I saw any desserts available on the menu so can't speak for that.

Such an awesome dining experience! It's about $39 but it's all you can eat and drink soft drinks. Lot's of amazing choices for all taste buds. Our servers were great and took good care of us! Try the corn cheese....AMAZING....gonna try to make this at home. Definitely a cool date spot especially with a name like Let's Meat! Bring your stretchy pants y'all!

Loved let's meat! The food was very high quality, I would say you have to try the pork belly and squid . Those two items were delicious. However all the meats and seafood was very tasty on the menu. The price per person is 38.95 so approximately 40 dollars before tip and tax. The service was amazing we had rounds of different things coming to our table all the time. They made sure we got our load up, we probably got around 30 plates before leaving lol. Ambiance was nice too, simple tables in a large room that smelled like beef, as a KKBQ should. :) Definitely recommend coming to celebrate sometime and come hungry

The restaurant: located on the outskirts of Charlotte's uptown on Church St. Restaurant has its own dedicated parking, but it's packed. There's also street parking. The wait: we came on a Sunday at around 5 pm and waited for over 2 hours before we were seated. I do recommend the restaurant gets a Yelp list for people to call in or something. The wait is very discouraging and will hurt your business. The atmosphere: very crowded and cold in the restaurant. Bring a jacket ladies. The service: while we wait inside the restaurant to be seated, we noticed the guy (who we assumed to the the manager cleaning up the table) was working at snail pace! Here you have a gazillion of people waiting and we see you take like half an hour to clean up the table! Additionally, we also noticed the employees who bring out the food did not so enthusiastic. It looks like they were miserable working there. Our server was pretty nice though and attentive though. The AYCE experience: after over 2 hours wait, we were seated with some side dishes and we continue to wait some more for our food. Even though we ordered lots of meats, the non meat stuff were brought out first... it was as if they want us to be full on other stuff first. It takes a very long time for the meat to come out. One other thing I noticed is they don't change out the grill plates here. In California, every kbbq places change grill plates when they become all charred with nasty stuff. Here, they just give you 1 lime.... I'm not sure how sanitary this is and it does not make the food taste good with lime flavor! I recommend the restaurant to have staff changing out grill plates at least 2-3 times! The food: the food was good. Huge portions when they bring the food out. Unfortunately, I had the biggest stomachache and had to go do #3 immediately when I came home. So something in there was not good.... Overall experience: I came from California where there are abundance numbers of kbbq restaurants with reasonable wait time and excellent services. The kbbq price here costs as much as the price in California, so I do expect the food and service to be good. This place, unfortunately, is a disappointment despite the hype. If I ever come back to Charlotte, would I wait over 2 hours at this place again? Most probably not because I look for restaurant with good service.

Our whole dinner was underwhelming. We left full but very dissatisfied. The bonchon was good, the soups are so bland (please add some flavor or at least salt!), the meat selection is small, and the grills are not non stick. Disclaimer: I just moved from Southern California where there are dozens of AYCE kbbq spots; I've eaten at many of them so my expectations for kbbq are high. Maybe it's personal preference, but the shrimp and pork were great. We only liked the beef options which is only 4 options. Cons: -there is no rice paper (that is 100% unacceptable for a kbbq spot! -the bone broth soup and egg soufflé lacked any flavor -limits to 3 proteins per round; if service is slow, you'll digest and won't be able to eat as much -they offer butter (which I'm not used to) but the meat gets stuck and burnt -the grill gets burnt and black fast -the brisket sauce tasted very sour and not sweet as it's supposed to be Pros: -the ventilation for smoke is in the grill, so you won't smell after -they have quite an abundance of bonchon (sides) -they offer different soups (you just need to ask for salt lol) -the restaurant is large so it helps with the wait time

I'm a big fan of KBBQ so I was excited to come here! Came with a group of 6 friends after eating lightly all day so we came hungry! We came on a Monday night so we didn't have to wait to be seated, but since there are no reservations make sure you come early or be prepared to wait. There is some parking next to the restaurant, but if you can't find a spot, there is street parking and paid parking in the adjacent lots as well. Our service was relatively quick and the food was decent: -BANCHAN: The side dishes were ok; we really liked the japchae and kimchi but the other ones we didn't touch as much. -MEAT: For the meat, you can order 3 at a time. We ordered a lot: beef brisket, pork butt, lemon garlic pork belly, curry pork belly, and original pork belly. My personal favorites were the original pork belly and the beef brisket. The meat quality was not as good as other briskets and pork bellies that I've had, and it was more thick/chewy, but they still tasted ok. -RANDOMS: Separately, we also ordered egg souffle, bone marrow broth, dumplings, onions, green leaf lettuce, and corn cheese. These were all very tasty and great pairs with the meat we were devouring. The bone marrow soup was not the most flavorful but it was still soothing and a good way to wash down all the meat. Overall, it was a decent experience with good service.

You can't make reservations so go early or be prepared to wait. We went on a Saturday night and had about a 45 minutes wait. Once instead we were greeted by our server and she was very efficient at taking our order and the food came out relatively quickly. The portions are not big but since it is AYCE, you can just keep ordering. The banchans (sides) are unlimited and when you ask for refills, they give you way more than the initial drop-off. Paid parking available nearby or free street parking.

Absolutely delicious! I have only tried one other KBBQ place but I liked this one better. There are many options for side dishes that come in the fixed price, as well as many meat options to choose from. The steak and beef bulgogi were spectacular. There were also several sauce options! I went at 2 pm on a Saturday and experienced no wait time. Our waitress was very attentive and brought our orders quickly. There is something for everyone here to enjoy. I only wish the corn in the corn cheese was sweeter.

Had a phenomenal time! We are avid kbbq eaters and this spot has Great food and service and vibe!

Sorry I wasn't able to take pictures! We went for my sisters birthday and had so much fun! It was my first time at a Korean bbq place, and I highly recommend Let's Meat! They have so many different items to choose from but I HIGHLY recommend the Bulgogi beef and pineapple. So freaking yummy! There was about a 45minute wait but as soon as they had a table ready we were seated. I didn't realize at the time that they have parking which is a HUGE plus for southend .

Maverick receives 5-stars who was our waiter. I had read reviews of him and when he said his name it was as if I already knew him. He was great! We were a party of 5 and had a really nice time. Our definite favorite of the meets was the bulgogi. The chicken teriyaki was not bad either. You are provided the dipping sauces, but for the most part the meat doesn't have flavor. Maybe you can ask for salt in advance in case you want to sprinkle some on. I love Korean food, and although I have had better, it was a fun time spent. I enjoy all the sides, if you're not into fermented foods you may not be. Generally either you like it or you don't. We will more than likely be back.

Amazing and super fun experience! We came in at 6pm on a Sunday and the wait was an hour and a half. We went to Seoul Food Meat Co. next door and got drinks at the bar while we waited. It went by pretty quick, and I love that they have a waitlist link that they send to your phone to check how many people are in front of you in line. Once we were seated, they brought us our sides and took our orders. You can order 3 proteins at a time. We kept ordering the bulgogi because it was the best thing! The chicken was also very good. I loved being able to cook my own food and add anything I wanted to the grill. I also loved the corn cheese and the veggies. We also got the soju and added pineapple yogo vera to it. It was a lot of soju and 4 of us were able to share it. It was really tasty. Tasted like pineapple vodka. Overall, I loved this experience! The service was great and our server was super friendly! The music was great too! Can't wait to come back!

Expensive, but a great experience. Out of the local Kbbq places this is my personal favorite, the meats are superior.

Such a perfect spot to bring groups of friends! There is a long wait, but if you play it smart and send one person to put their name on the list early, it's a breeze. Highly recommend. Delicious meats and sides!

My partner and waited for an hour and a half to be seated. Seemed long but I heard nothing but great things so I really wanted to try. Let's just say...I think we tried almost everything LOL Our server was really nice. We will be back!

Bulgogi was the best I ever had. Every other meat was also pretty good. Waiter was awesome and service was quick. Overall a good place to satisfy my kbbq crave.

This restaurant will always be a favorite of mine as it was one of the only KBBQ places in the Charlotte when it had first opened. Even still, I come back time and time again and am never disappointed! Yes, the wait can get a bit lengthy but it's WORTH the two hours of all you can eat freedom. ($38ish/per person at the moment) Get some soju while you wait and once you're seated, you'll take a look at the project screen menu to start choosing your goodies! (3 types of meats at a time, and all the yummy bonchon you want) We also ordered the egg soufflé, dumplings, squid, corn cheese, and broth! Don't forget to wear your stretchy pants and if you happen to want a few more drinks, stop by Seoul Food Meat Co next door for a yogurt soju!

This place is catered to people who don't know about Korean bbq. They give you very small portions and you have 2 hours to eat. You are constantly ordering because the portions are so small, and it's awful when they are busy. They have good selections of Korean drinks. The parking is horrible. The parking lot is small and you have to park on the street blocks away and you're hoping no one will break into your vehicle.

Not worth the price. With taxes plus tip you're left with feeling terrible at the end of the day for wasting money. For almost 40$ a person you would think it comes with drinks and premium sides but you still have to pay extra for that.

The meats at this place was amazing and there are a lot of options for side dishes. You cannot make a reservation and the whole party needs to be there before you get seated. The wait can be pretty long but there are different restaurants and bars around where you can get drinks awhile waiting for a table. Highly recommends this place!

All you can eat Korean Barbecue for two hours!!! Did I just die and go to heaven??? I stopped by here while visiting friends that live in the area and this place is impressive. The selection of meat, seafood,, and veggies is quite vast and everything here was absolutely delicious. The sides too are quite plentiful and you should also try the spicy Korean style miso. It was just what the doctor ordered for a cold October night. Can you really drink too much Soju? I say no but my body says, oh yes!!! LOL!!!

The food was tasty and we had a great server taking care of our party. It was a little weird not having the meat and sides available buffet style, but as long as your are strategic about timing your orders you will not go hungry. Our favorites were the garlic pork belly and Korean steak.

My little cousin, home from college and having the day off from her part-time job, wanted to spend time with her fam and took us to this place for lunch last Sunday together. Hearing that it was first come first serve, often accompanied with a long wait with no exception to the everyone-in-party-must-be-present rule, we prepared to arrive early. And by early, I mean 30 minutes after it opened. Surprisingly, we had NO wait and were immediately seated for a party of 5 and a 2-year-old. A friendly young waiter greeted us and was very attentive to our table, checking in on us frequently, answering questions as it was most of our first time doing kbbq, and making sure we were enjoying our experience. It was the little things like stopping by to adjust our grill's heat, replacing the water underneath, and cleaning our grill with the lime provided that I took special notice of. I'd be remiss not to mention the food! For something like $34/person and all you can eat, we most definitely got our fill of meat! At first, I was thinking that was pretty pricy until we got into our meal. We ordered brisket, garlic marinated pork belly, regular pork belly, bulgogi, dumplings, eggs, and cheesy corn. And then we ordered MORE of the same. This was on top of the appetizers, which were already plentiful to start, kept on coming out as they asked if we'd like refills and we kept saying yes! There's an extra 10% or so charge if you over-order food so try and be conservative as you order and then order more if you're still hungry. Your eyes are likely bigger than your stomach and you will get punished for it if they are. Fortunately, this was not a problem for us since they bring the food out SO quickly. I was thoroughly full by the time we finished our meal and cannot remember ever feeling that extremely satisfied. We ended up having to walk it off at the Southpark mall afterwards and if I weren't preggo, would not have ended up needing dinner later that night! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for the experience, the quality of food for the price, and for someone who's got an especially big appetite for meat!

This place is very tasty! It is a bit pricey but not bad for an all-you-can-eat style Kbbq spot! We had the steak, bulgogi, shrimp, beef brisket, garlic pork belly, saffron pork belly, and the wagyu. We also had the egg soufflé and bone marrow broth. You can't go wrong with either of these selections. Had we been more attentive to the menu, we would have tried more of the meats, but there's always another time, right! The service was great. It is a VERY popular spot, so arrive early or be prepared for a wait. They do not offer reservations and all people in your party must be present to be seated. Also, gratuity is included in your bill.

Excellent restaurant. Very clean tables, cooking surface, and service items. Lots of attention from staff. Food was delicious. Well seasoned and plentiful. Lots of small-plate starters brought to the table. Highly recommend. Would definitely eat here again.

Pretty awesome experience! Everything was fresh and tasty! We will definitely be back! Cool experience and great customer service!

This place is a must to try when you are down in Charlotte and you love Korean BBQ. Been here for few times and it's always great to be back. Come very hungry cause they getting more expensive than the last time I was here. Now Adults is $36. and kids 4 - 10 is $11.. And another thing is expected wait time is 1 hr - 1 hr 15 min. They don't take any reservation cause they always full and packed. So just prepare. Again another great experience with them yesterday. Server is very attentive, food is fast, place is clean...even they are super busy but the thing I like it is not noisy and you still be able to enjoy the food. Approximately 1 hr to 1 1/2 hr max 2 hr I bet you already full and done. I highly recommend this place if you haven't try.

First time eating here was yesterday with my son... Lunch with a bottle of Korean Rice Wine was $100... That being said it was awesome!!! You cook your own food and add additional spices if you like.... The Bulgogi was delicious and the squid was very fresh and flavorful... It is all you can eat and $/40 per person with tax.... It is pricey but worth every penny IMO... Jordan was our server and he was very polite and professional. We will be back.... I love this place!!!!

If you have a big appetite you will love it here! There are endless meat and seafood options! I really enjoyed cooking my own meats and mixing the seasonings and sauces to make different tastes! The sides are good but the meat is the best part! Our server was very nice and prompt! He checked on us often but not so much that it was overwhelming or made us feel rushed. The setup for the location is very nice, nice size booths that allow you to feel intimate but not overcrowded! The beer and wine options were nice and on the larger size. Just know you cannot take any food with you so eat up and enjoy!

Usually when I see a place has mostly awesome reviews with just a few bad ones, I ignore the bad ones. I'm asking you guys to not ignore my poor review- and to consider what I have to say before giving this place your service, time, and most importantly- your money. First of let me just say our waiter was absolutely fantastic. I considered giving this place four stars just because of him. He was super attentive and never kept us waiting for more food even as the place got more and more busy. He was super patient and helped us get the hang of cooking our food. Big shoutout to him! The ambience is very cool and fun and casual, so points for that too. So why am I giving it two stars? Unfortunately my poor review has everything to do with what you're all looking for- the food. We tried a variation of shrimp, pork, and beef. The beef bulgolgi was very yummy but there are so many other great places to get beef bulgolgi for a fraction of the price. My boyfriend and I went there just the two of us, and didn't spend a cent extra on drinks or anything like that and after tips it was almost $100. Let's start with the shrimp- we started with the chili shrimp and it was, to put it nicely, really nasty. The shrimp were tiny and they were sooo fishy. I love seafood and I LOVE shrimp, so we decided to get the jumbo shrimp. They came unpeeled which is totally fine but they also came deveined. No one wants to devein their own shrimp before eating them. Super unappetizing. The shrimp were unbelievably mushy. I consider myself to be a shrimp expert and I'm not picky at all about my shrimp. Best $20 I ever spent was at Red Lobster's unlimited shrimp special! The point is, I am by no means a shrimp snob. But I do expect my shrimp to not be disintegrating in my hand as I peel them. My guess is that they were thawed in hot water- which isn't the safest way whatsoever. When they were cooked they were still SO fishy. And not in a good way. It tasted like the way I'd imagine fish tank water to taste. Worst shrimp i've ever had- and I've chosen shrimp at some pretty risky places. On to the pork- it RADIATES MSG. I have a mild intolerance to MSG and after a few pieces of pork belly and a bit of pork butt, I was holding my head in despair, my temples aching from a pretty bad headache. The pork belly wasn't bad, the flavoring was nice but the meat itself was chewy. As I said before, the bulgolgi was really good. However we ordered the steak and cooked it on a new grill top that shrimp had NOT been cooked on and the steak was also incredibly fishy and just all around disturbing. Steak shouldn't taste fishy. The quality of the meat in general was just SO disappointing. The meat is unnecessarily fatty. I can't tell if I feel sick from that or from the meat itself. We left full but pretty sad about the amount of money spent for the quality of food we consumed. Bonus points for this being a super fun experience- but I know if our waiter wasn't so awesome it wouldn't have been very fun at all. Don't waste your money!
