This longtime, family-run stall at Crossroads’ multicultural food hall serves bulgogi plates, spicy pork, noodle bowls, and soups—fast, affordable, and very local. It’s not a grill-at-table spot, but it’s beloved by regulars and rooted in Bellevue’s everyday Korean flavors.

2 of us on Sunday night at 6:15 and we were seated immediately. The staff was attentive and switched out the grills frequently. We were allowed to pick 4 items at a time. We did request smaller portions so we could taste more items. The squid, marinated pork belly, beef tongue and the spicy pork were the best dishes IMO. All I ribs were decent but a little light on the seasoning. The steak was a full steak but I prefer my steak with some kosher salt for seasoning so wasn’t the best for me. The shrimp too was too plain for my taste as well. We added a steamed egg on the side which we probably could have done without. The banchan was good but we mostly stuck to the fish cake. The probiotic drink at the end was an unexpected treat.

this place is amazing! my sister and i went here to eat and it was only my second time and her first time trying korean barbeque and the waitress was super accommodating and fast with her service and helped us with the process and made us feel so welcome. the quality of the meats and marination on them are fantastic and i had a great time eating the foods and side dishes. of course the meat is satiating so make sure you don’t get overwhelmed and try to eat too much meat because you’ll get fuller than expected. I met the manager Jong as we left and she said bye to us in such a sweet and respectful manner. best restaurant and service ever.🩷

With the Groupon, the price point is about right. Otherwise the prices are just ridiculous. $50 for Korean army stew ramen. 😱 it’s in a casserole so definitely can split it but still not worth the price without the groupon. The meat didn’t smell super fresh (I didn’t order bbq but the table next to us were grilling and it smelled a little like spoiled meat). The teobokki we ordered was too hard so had to save it by putting it in our casserole stew. Though they were busy they still gave us banchan refills which I appreciated. Mashed potato was the best side dish. I would come here again for lunch (not dinner) with a groupon. Otherwise I’d skip this place!

Delicious Food and great service. I've been to all of their locations. Federal Way, Lakewood and now Bellevue and this is one of the better locations. 15 years ago the All You can eat dinner option was only $12.99 but in 2025 its $43.99, Man thats crazy! our buying power has really gone downhill. Brace Yourselves America!

This is an exceptional Korean restaurant renowned for its all-you-can-eat (AYCE) menu, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. I savored their perfectly marinated beef short ribs, tender prime ribeye steak, flavorful marinated sliced beef, and juicy boneless chicken, all expertly prepared and incredibly delicious. The ambiance was inviting and well-crafted, complemented by soothing background music that added to the overall charm. It was an unforgettable dining experience, and I can’t wait to return!

The waitress is not patient and not understandable at all. We ordered two portions of three meats. She reminded us that we have to pay additional charge if we have leftover, which is understandable. Unexpectedly, she served the seasoned meat in super big portion and not our favor. She also rushed us to grill all the big portion at a time. Additionally, she served rice for each person without asking, even though it wasn’t expected or clearly stated as mandatory. Overall, the experience made us uncomfortable and under pressure. We couldn’t enjoy the food properly as everything hurried. I will not recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommended, the seaweed rice rolls are delicious, parking is easy, the pork belly is tender, and their side dishes are my favorite

Excellent food quality. It seems a little expensive at first, once you begin to eat and keep getting cut after cut of meat it suddenly seems more affordable. Generously poured beverages as well. Always friendly staff, they quickly ask if you want more food as soon as you finish. The lighting is a little too dim for my liking, and the cushioned benches have seen better days, worn out and lumpy at times. 4 out 5 stars.

Been going to this place for years. The meat is good quality and its conveniently located near Crossroads Mall in Bellevue. Servers are nice and attentive with getting more meats ordered. I understand the need for increasing prices due to inflated food costs, but this past time I went it seemed pretty expensive. AYCE for an adult costs $43.95 during dinner. The part that was really crazy was that kids are only 4-7yrs old. No way can a kid who is even 12 eat as much as an adult. Seems unfair to charge a 9yr old $43.95.

I'd give 3 stars for the price because I think it's pretty expensive. Also the lady who served us gave us one dinner menu (AYCE) and said this was all they serve, just one option when I asked if they had other menus. Then I told her I know they have a separate dinner and lunch menu. And she said a la carte? It's pretty misleading to just give one menu item to order. Fortunately I did my research and there's a separate dinner menu. We ordered the Korean ramen casserole dish. It was super good and hit the spot. Definitely big enough portion for two people. We ended up with two huge containers to take home so you could stretch it to 4 meals. We ordered an extra side of ramen. But it was super expensive! $50 for spam and ramen! I could easily make this at home and I think I might! I liked the ban Chan. Everything was great - Kim chi fresh, mashed potato's. Wasn't a fan of the fish cakes but it was alright. We also ordered a side of rice cake (teobokki) which honestly I would definitely skip. It was quite chewy still so we had to throw it into the ramen casserole dish. I would skip that one next time. Despite how busy they were, we got seated for two in 10 minutes and the refills for ban Chan was pretty good. I'd come back with a Groupon. But it was definitely super expensive without it!

Meh. AYCE KBBQ, meat quality is alright, decent variety of meats. I'm kind of surprised this spot did not have rice paper, bean sprouts were bland, and no spicy cucumbers. Bus boy was better than the waiter and was always on point changing the grill. Lots of grills open on a Friday night, it costs $46 or somewhere around there.

We went here to get my AYCE fix on after a botched birthday meal that sucked a previous night. I used to love this place and their federal way location. This time it was goofy and rushed and not as good as in the past. The server was nice but WAY too busy juggling the dining room alone on a week night not too busy. Couldn't even get a drink order in before she ran off so we just drank water. The food was ok and banchan pretty standard. I don't eat corn cheese often but wanted ti try theirs. Horrible. It doesn't motivate me to go to either location again but it could have been much worse. Ok is all I can say about Palace these days!

Came here while visiting from Oregon. This place was clean and very nice. The quality of meat was much better then I was expecting. Service was quick and friendly. We eat and eat, and then eat some more. I would be happy and excited to come back here again.

Brought a friend visiting from New Mexico to have some Korean barbecue. Can't beat the price. $38 a person for all you can eat grilled meats -- beef brisket, chicken, pork, octopus, squid...and more. Came with an abundance of side support options including spicy tofu stew, steamed egg, cheesy corn, etc. And that's not even including the "ban chan" or little dishes like pickled daikon, seasoned fishcakes, kimchi, lightly blanched soy beans toast in sesame oil and lightly salted with chopped green onion, as well as mashed potato salad. (It's a Korean thing and it's delicious.) There are some interesting rules: Your limited to an hour and a half which is more than enough for most parties. You can't take anything home. And you can't have leftovers. Because they don't want you wasting food which is more sustainable approach to all you can eat, don't you think? Respect. We were Usher in and sat down at tables that had a grill and leather/final covering in the booths so there was comfortable seating and easy access to all the shared foods. There was a large party with children and everyone was eating well. Plenty of free parking outside in the lot as well.

I give this a 0 star if I could because everything was over price, I use to go to this place way before and I never have a problem but now this place went downhill, the portion of meat is ridiculously thick cut and big and a lot of meat portion. Too much meat for you that you can't even try other meat options. The service was good at first but at the end she ask for a tip, which was not appropriate.

I've been here and other kbbq places numerous times and today was by far the worst experience. Unsure what was going on today but quality of everything was so terrible. 1. The seasoned tendered beef quality was disgusting. After grilled, I took one bite and honestly was grossed out. I asked the server and he was very apologetic and replaced it. Except that replaced meat was not much better. 2. Japchae from AYCE. This was very old and stale. I could tell that this was microwaved over and over as the noodles were very hard (this happens to yam noodles if u microwave for too long). Even the onions were completely dried up. 3. Ttokbokki from AYCE menu was also very disappointing. I ordered it and server brought this out in less than a minute which means this was premade. But one thing about korean rice cakes are that if you cook it, you gotta eat right away or it becomes super soggy, which was this. I am so sad to see my go to Bellevue AYCE Kbbq place going downhill. I probably will not be back again. I will give Federal way place one more chance tho!

Palace was one of the first places I've been to (different locations) for Korean BBQ. Now that there are so many places to compare to, I feel like the meat quality isn't as great as some other places. Some of the beef isn't as tender, and seem kind of dry, even when I'm not cooking it until it's well done. Price is decent, and still not bad. Wish they would bring smaller portions of single meats at a time for smaller groups like two people. Service here is excellent though, which I feel is rare at these AYCE Korean BBQ places.

Huge portions!! we went for the lunch ayce and got three servings of brisket, thinking it'd be the same serving size as most places- it was WAY more!! the only downsides are that the servers weren't very attentive, and the seats are due for some fixes, but still overall a good spot! i will say it's a little pricier than some places in the area, but i feel like the portions make up for it! definitely a good spot to go as a bigger group in my opinion.

I had a reservation for 6 with some friends on a weekday for dinner, though the restaurant was pretty empty, so you could definitely get away with just walking in. They also have plenty of parking, which is also super convenient. Unfortunately, I would say that the overall experience was pretty underwhelming. First off, the pricing was like 50 bucks per person for dinner, which I could have been okay with if the quality of the meat was like Gyu-Kaku, but it falls wayyyyyy short of that. First off, the variety of meat here is pretty limited; they're missing a lot of my favorites like beef belly and pork jowl. Additionally, the cuts on the meat are 1. super inconsistent and 2. randomly super thick, like the brisket was ridiculously thick? You don't even get all the sides with the AYCE pricing - you have to pay extra for basics like lettuce wraps. The singular upside is that service is decently attentive and they changed our grill out without us asking most of the time. Anyways, EXPENSIVE AND NOT GOOD DON'T COME HERE.

Great tofu soup. I go here all the time. The best side dishes of any Korean restaurants around the town. I used to also do AYCE Korean BBQ a lot back in the days but now I just order a la carte items and pay for them instead. Much cheaper this way for my family of 5 as ordering three plates of meat is good enough for us.

I was hesitant at first to try this place because of the mixed reviews however, I was pleasantly surprised by the fast service and tasty food. My party of 7 was sat immediately, our server was helpful and attentive. Without asking, they changed out the grill throughout the meal and even helped cook the meat at times. Food was fire, would definitely come back.

Great place for Korean AYCE BBQ. Service and food have always been exceptional. My son and I go there about once a month. Only thing is that you must have a party of 2 or more for Korean BBQ. Otherwise, you'll be seated with a regular menu.

Palace Korean Bar & Grill is a gem for korean bbq in the Bellevue/greater Seattle area. I've tried several kbbq spots up north (Lynwood) and south (Federal Way) and this restaurant is by far my favorite for AYCE kbbq. The staff Jeong & Benny were super nice to us and helped to answer any questions we had. Jeong gave us several sides to try in portions that allowed us to sample the kimbap, fried rice, japchae and spicy rice cakes. The AYCE is priced at $37.99 per person which is definitely on the higher end, but you're paying for the quality you get. I was born and raised in LA and have had my fair share of good KBBQ. I was super impressed with the meat quality. We ordered the brisket, bulgogi, ribeye steak and tongue. Everything was very tender and did not taste old. It also didn't taste grimey, which I feel like a lot of KBBQ down south tastes. As for sides, our favorites were the spicy rice cake, korean ramens and the banchan was pretty good as well! :) There is plenty of seating and there is also parking, making this restaurant perfect for large groups!!

This is my absolute favorite kbbq spot because it is always the best and kind service and the quality of the food is consistently good. I love that they've added more side dishes to the AYCE menu like ramyun, japchae, tteokbokki. And out of all the ayce spots, their kalbi & bulgogi marinade is perfectly balanced between sweet and salty. I always feel so welcome when I come in and I look forward to every time I get to eat here! I love all the aunties that work here too because they make sure you're taken care of!

Palace was largely disappointing. While the servers were friendly, the restaurant as a whole did not have a very clean vibe to it. The meat wasn't great and not much selection either. The meat had no marbling whatsoever. Also, I'm sure it was fine since we were cooking it anyway, but one of our courses came with pork, shrimp, and beef on the same plate. Everything was touching the pork juice, which didn't look super appetizing.

Service - 2/5. Their wait list was a big mess. When I called, we were told that there was no wait and have plenty of tables. When we got there 5 minutes later, there were some empty tables, but there were 7 parties before us. S we asked a lady and she told us 10 minutes. We went back to the car for a few minutes and found out that they let people who just walked in without letting people on the wait list. Ambience 2/5. There is no ambience. Bunch of tables and chairs and it's smokey and freezing cold. Food 3/5. Meat is tough! Marinades are good, but many of their meat were tough, chewy, and fatty. If you are lucky, you'll get a good cut. It's all you can eat, so make sure you go in starving. We definitely didn't eat the money worth.

These days, I feel like it's difficult to find an All You Can Eat KBQ restaurant without it being expensive or food quality is just decent. Here at Palace, they provide a great deal, $28, and great food. Listed in their all you can eat includes LA ribs (short ribs) and I loved it! I ordered multiple plates of it couldn't get enough. It had so much flavor in the ribs and was savory. Pork belly was great as well. Side dishes are provided. The service here was good. Staff is very friendly and comes around enough to see if you would like to order more food. After asking for more food, they were pretty quick to bring it out. They were good when they noticed when the cooking trays needed to be swapped. The ambiance here was just your general all you can eat BBQ restaurant. Nothing special about this place particularly. I was just mainly focus on my food. I'd definitely be coming here again if I'm craving all you can eat KBQ in Bellevue!

I'm not a KBBQ connoisseur, but the food was okay. Food: 3.5. We had 2 coffee drinks (2/5), vegetable bibimbap (4/5), and KBBQ (4/5). The coffee was weak and watered down, especially since it was iced. Service and atmosphere: 4/5. This depends on whether you value the American restaurant experience. Aunty waiting on our table reminded me of an older, stern schoolteacher. Ordering with her was a little stressful because she was a bit sassy, but we enjoyed this encounter. She would give us an emphatic "good job!" and even patted my friend on the head after we ordered The restaurant is large and looks like it seats a lot of parties!

We did all the you can eat bbq. The food was plentiful although the quality was just good not great. The ribeye was a big cut but the flavor was just fine. The brisket was delicious though. I wish they'd kept the grill slightly lower but they kept turning it up which burnt things, though at least they swapped our grate multiple times. They took a long time to come take our order but once they did they were full of personality and lots of fun, as well as very on top of when we wanted to order more. Overall a fun experience!

10/10 would recommend!! The service and quality is top notch especially for an all you can eat place. Food delivery speed is also amazing, never had to wait for anything. The new menu has a lot of options that can be tailored for everyone. Not to mention, the alcohol variety is great (coming from an unofficial alcoholic) and the price is very reasonable! Would definitely come here over any other kbbq place around Bellevue/Kirkland/Redmond even Seattle area! P.S: The nice lady gave us aprons and even served our ramen for us!

Not only is the food excellent and amazing, but the service is top tier. I am always treated with kindness and respect here, and the food and service is one of a kind. I love it here and will continue to come in the future! The food we had was beef brisket and thin pork belly, and with all the banchan sides its going to fill you up so well!

I must have come on a good day. The reviews are full of warnings, but my experience was great: Great: Steak, pork belly, spicy pork, bulgogi, chicken thigh, sides (sides include classic favorites like rice, eomuk bokkeum & kimchi) Not as great: Shrimp (hard to peel) Sneak attack: Shou. It's $17 per bottle but DELICIOUS. We recommend peach and strawberry Sneak attack: $5 charge for any leftover meat..eat all of it or else! Bonus: All you can eat option!! 6 people was $403 with tip included. We were seated within 2 minutes of entering. Our seating area was comfortable for 6 adults. We showed up while it was quiet and watched the space become full. We did notice that the busier it got, the less prompt service became. That said, no complaints here. Just observing how that likely affects reviews. Service was prompt and attentive. The thing that pleasantly surprised all of us was just how much meat came with each order! Challeng accepted! They switched out the tray we were cooking food on everytime it got burnt, but it almost wasn't fast enough. The spicy pork is SPICY with a capital S and smokes a lot due to the marinade. If you have sensitive lungs or allergies you may get irritated. My friend ended up coughing on the smoke a lot and I started sneezing at the end. Overall, I really enjoyed my first time trying Korean BBQ.

The service was 4.5/5. My wife was going to tip 10% but I made sure she brought it up to 15% and reminded her of how attentive all the staff was. The quality of the food was 4/5. But unfortunately when we got our bill we saw this company has implemented a 'living wage' 4% charge to the gross amount. I firmly believe it's wrong for a business to charge their customers to pay for their employees wages. If they didn't have that on our bill they would get a 4 star review and they wouldn't be losing us as a customer.

I've been to palace a number of times and it's always good. The servers are pretty friendly and quick most of the time. The food is always good and we never have any complaints when we come. I like that it's well lit and it doesn't get really warm like some other places.

Came in late on a Friday night 30 mins before closing and expected to potentially get turned away, but instead we had an amazing experience! Because we came so late, we had a limited amount of time to eat, and the staff here helped us out with that. They gave us two grills for a party of 5 and helped us cook meats so we can focus on eating quicker. They also allowed us to get in a last order after last call. All of this happened with extreme friendliness and sincerity too, and we never got the sense that they didn't want us there. The meats themselves were solid, we really enjoyed the fresh tender beef and the brisket the most. Side dishes were also delicious! Price is a bit steep at $40 a person but it is AYCE so you definitely get what you pay for!

My first experience at Korean bbq and I loved it. Service was lacking and I wasn't asked if I wanted to order a drink. This place could make great money if they offered drinks, came back for refills. We did end up ordering drinks but not asked if I wanted another. My friends with me wanted to order a cocktail off the menu but wasn't offered. It was clean, and the servers kept our grill fresh. Servers were friendly, and made good food recommendations.

We tried this place for the first time and would say that it's a decent spot to pick up some Korean food in the area. They have lots of space for bringing a big group to do Korean barbecue. The restaurant is rather large! People are really friendly, and it is seemingly pretty clean too. Parking is easy for wheelchairs as well if needed. Not the best Korean food I've ever had in my entire life, but certainly hits the spot if you're craving some thing.

Since moving to Lake Stevens, we haven't been able to visit Palace as often as we would like but we made a trip. They continue to elevate their quality of meats and their customer service. We had some incredibly juicy Kalbi, thin pork belly, beef brisket. Our favorite staff brought us a sample of some new side dishes - chapchae, ddokbbokee, and kimbap - all taste super delicious. The dining and bathrooms are clean and we can't wait to make another excuse to come to Bellevue :) I want to note, there are some unfair negative reviews on here - the place has evolved and we highly recommend giving them a try! (Coming from a Korean myself!)

My friends and I visited Korean Palace BBQ for a weekday lunch and were surprised to find the restaurant relatively quiet. Despite the lack of customers, we were pleased with the overall experience. Food: 4/5 The food at Korean Palace BBQ was fresh and tasty, with reasonable prices. However, the basic all-you-can-eat (AYCE) option had limited choices, so we opted for the more expensive AYCE package. Unfortunately, they had run out of beef tongue, which was disappointing. The side dishes were typical of what you'd expect from a Korean restaurant. The spicy tofu soup was good, but it could have been even better with the addition of seafood, as offered by other Korean restaurants. Note: Their scissors are very hard to use. Service: 5/5 The service was good, although understanding the staff's Korean-accented English was a bit challenging at times. Despite this minor issue, the staff was attentive and friendly. Ambiance: 4/5 The ambiance at Korean Palace BBQ was welcoming. The quiet atmosphere during our visit made for a pleasant dining experience, allowing us to enjoy our meal and conversation without any distractions. The whole place is very clean and the ventilation works well so you won't smell much of smoke.

I was so full. So happy, and so full. The staff is very attentive about getting in your first order and getting things rolling, then intermittently either reloading your grill or swapping out the plate... And Then reloading. The raw meats show up in minutes with various little dishes, as expected. I really enjoyed the banchan here, both kimchis were delicious with the meat and the pickled radish was bright and sweet (and pink!). We got more of almost everything except the rather unexpected potato salad. The rice was hot and perfect texture for covering in meat juice and dipping sauce- I'm not sure exactly what went into the bowl of clear brown liquid with onion floating in it, but it was perfect. We went hard on the beef options for the most part. Thin slices, marinated, short rib, and so on. Our forays away from it were 50/50. The shrimp, while large, were not a texture I much enjoyed. The spicy pork was absolutely killer, though and I ate nearly the whole serving of it by myself to end the meal. The veggies were a good foil, as was the dressed lettuce brought alongside, but this is definitely 90% protein as meals go. It's not a fancy place, but you don't want it to be, the hoods over the tables are critical, even if they're not pretty. The constant air movement does make it surprisingly cold, though, and I struggled a little with that. My hot tea wasn't a lot of help, it was large, but delivered in a large paper cup. Not high-end as beverages go, and it went cold pretty quick.

We used a Groupon and still it was not worth it. The price online is lower than the actual price. The rib eye came out frozen and whatever they did to it made it like tough chuck steak. Never had such a bad rib eye. The sides were few and overly sweet. The woman (as someone mentioned) just dumped plates of meat on the grill to hurry us out. It was a largely empty restaurant with no Asian customers, which tells you something. Worst Korean bbq restaurant. Seoul Meat Co and Exit 5 are far far superior

One of my personal favorites for AYCE KBBQ on the Eastside. As soon as you walk in and take a sniff, you'll know you came to the right place. Their marinated meats are so delicious. Especially the beef short ribs. Like for real I can't believe they're giving these short ribs out. As soon as I had one the price of admission was instantly worth it. Their potato salad and spicy fish cakes are two of my favorite sides out of all the KBBQ restaurants I've tried. Especially their potato salad. Easily in the top 3 potato salad for all Eastside KBBQ for me. These elements culminate into a poutpouri of pleasure. Almost nothing beats a perfectly saucy short rib with a scoop of rice and bean sprouts followed by a slice of fish cake and a spoonful of the delectably creamy potato salad. Oh and the smell gets baked into your clothes, so you will remember the meal for many nights to come.

I'm so damn full! The food was great. I ate so much and now I need to go doodoo. The prime rib steak is worth admission. I think I ate 3 on my own. All the options for the all you can eat are delicious. The side dishes are perfect compliment to a big meal. I will be back. PS, soju is a fun drink with friends.

look no further. Palace Korean Bar and Grill is the choice for all you can eat Korean BBQ in the PNW. We can start with how incredible the marinade is. Sweet and savory, with a hint of garlic to add a delectable aroma. My mouth is watering thinking about it still. Portion sizes will satisfy company. Couldn't make it past 6 plates, but I only came with my gf. We got the marinated slices of beef, beef brisket, short ribs and an entire rib eye steak...an entire rib eye steak. Normally I don't think I could make it past a single 8 oz steak with sides, but my stomach made an exception for us today. The restaurant itself is clean, and seems to stay up-to-date in the latest table-top-bbq technology. Nevertheless, Korean BBQ is Korean BBQ and speaking of Korean BBQ, can't really call it Korean BBQ without the inviting service of the waitresses. All approach with the warmth and hospitality of what I can recall from my childhood in Korea. So helpful and patient with all table tops. If you're looking for a Korean bbq restaurant in the PNW, specifically in Bellevue, Palace needs to be your next stop.

Service is very good and attentive. The AYCE price has gone up. So it's a bit pricey. With tax and tip the bill was close to $100.00 for lunch. Food is good and the Ban chan is a good variety . Definitely have to be hungry to eat your $ worth! They have a table time limit of 1-1/2 hours for AYCE meals and there is a minimum of 2 people in your party You can pick up to 4 different items for AYCE We chose, pork belly, beef short ribs, veggies and rib eye steak. I liked the dipping sauce for the meat, I asked what was in it....I could tell there was soy sauce, onion, something sweet, garlic and sesame oil. ...the server wouldn't provide me with the ingredients cause she said it was a secret!

This is my go to kbbq place - I've been coming here for years and the food and service is always good. Lately other kbbq places have been a let down because as a Korean I look for the basics (good soup and sides) and other places started to not add that into their service. However, this place has consistently provided good food and service and all the basics of a good kbbq. Recently they even made changes to the menu by adding a bunch of new sides and now even give a small yogurt drink here at the end now! On top of that, the price has gone down!!! (While other places have been reducing the sides and increasing the prices) Definitely will continue to come here

Everything was perfect! We've been here at least 15 times and none of the experience was bad. The food is fresh, the portions are great, they're not scared to give you enough food like other AYCE. The staffs are very nice and professional! My favorite has to be the beef intestines, such a unique taste that no other restaurant offer. Definitely check this place out. Very good food for the price. Only 37$ for dinner AYCE! They also just added a punch card for customers where if you dine in 9 times you will get your 10th for free! Unbelievable in this economy!

By far the best Korean bbq we've ever been. Great quality, everything was super fresh and amazing variety. And the service was amazing! It was my first time trying Korean bbq and both servers took such great care of us. Princess was so sweet and kind and Kay was so attentive. Will definitely come back!

The good: - Food The bad: - Poor ventilation. The place gets smoky when it's full. The ugly: -Owner charges an additional 4% as living wage. This is a hidden charge that is not communicated ahead of time. These additional fees are going to the owner and not the service staff. Poor business practice.
