Seoul Soondubu - Korean BBQ

I had a good time at this Korean BBQ spot. The concept is fun—90 minutes of all-you-can-eat, and the meat was definitely good quality. Once you finish what’s on your grill, the server brings out the next round for you to cook, which keeps the flow going nicely. That said, I found it to be extremely pricey for what it is. They also charge a waste fee if you don’t finish what you order, so keep that in mind. It’s a cool experience and worth trying, but probably better saved for a special occasion rather than a casual night out. — Kemoshire | Honest reviews. If I visit it, I review it.

I was just walking by again and thinking about going in, I'm so glad this time I did! The service was fast at my table as soon as I set down. The food was amazing, I mean you could get filled up before the main course witch for me was the Beef Bulgogi off the combination menu. Thebmain dish cam out steaming hot and was delicious 😋. I highly recommend trying this gem out you will not be disappointed and leave amazed. With all off the K Pop popularity you can see alot of new Korean fast in and out the door places poping up, but this is the real deal totally authentic food and service. Don't cheat yourself if the first-time eating Korean food. Go authentic go hear.

Wonderful food, excellent and friendly service. I wish I lived near here, I would visit regularly! I was seated immediately, and my order was taken quickly. The food is very traditional. Since I was by myself I didn’t order much, just Pajeon (green onion pancake with seafood). This may be the best pajeon that I’ve ever had! Very full of seafood, cooked to be slightly crispy, served on a small rack to keep it from getting soggy. They also brought out a nice skeleton Banian (small traditional side dishes) and a small bowl of simple japchae. A very filling meal. I enjoyed chatting with the server, who may also be the owner. Great place!

We came on a Friday night and absolutely loved the experience and food. The quality of the meat and sides was exceptional. The servers and host were so helpful and explained the whole process and all the ingredients involved. I would highly recommend doing the grill experience. We loved the short rib and bulgogi the most of every protein we tried.

The place is quite big , divided by 2 section bbq and regular order. The side dishes are good, but the sp8cy pork is a little porky, you can smell it. The service is fast, but the tip of 18% is a mandatory even only for 2 people. The tip ( although they let you know in tge 1st place) and all small added charge like egg for the soup are too tricky. Other than that, the resto is okay.

I wanted to come see what the trend was all about with this location…. so you KNOW i made the 30 minute drive in traffic from Tracy to try some AYCE Korean BBQ — in the middle of all this bustle! We were greeted by the family who ran the business some time after 6:00pm. It wasn’t too busy, so it was actually quite welcoming. He gave us the option to do regular Korean dining, or do the all-you-can-eat style. We opted for the all-you-can-eat, so we had to wait a teeny bit… but the wait wasn’t much of a wait to be quite fair. We were escorted to our tables, where they gave us the first few options to choose from… this is where the experience begins. Food: 5/5 They actually had quite a selection of meats and kitchen items! I love how they had English and Korean on their menu together… it made it feel like home. What stood out to me was the fact that the side dishes were already prepared for us and ready for us to dig in while we were waiting for our dishes to be served. I loved how you had the option to order three meats, alongside three kitchen items. Though not pictured, the portions of the meat weren’t actually a lot — they were enough to fill up our palate for each round they asked us for. The japchae and steamed eggs were probably by far the ones that really hit the spot, in terms of kitchen items. Meat wise, I’d recommend the pork jowl if you really want that CRISPINESS and bulgogi for that flavorful yet juicy tender texture of meat. 🥩 Service: 3/5 Okay, here’s what I didn’t like about the restaurant… so sit tight for this one. I had to dock two stars due to the following reasons: (1) We were rushed through the whole process. Though welcoming, the owner was quite dismissive — which it really lacked unprofessionalism. We were also told that we only had 90 minutes once we were sat… and they put immense pressure on the waitress who ONLY had been on the job for two days to take our order…. like GURL, give her a break first, she’s doing her best! (2) The prices were outrageous… almost $39 a person was enough to break my bank. On top of that, an 18% automatic gratuity was added on that…. I know that it’s easier on the people serving us since they should get more money, but seriously…. I almost ended up paying $98 out the door. No tip cuz y’all already did, smh 😒 Atmosphere: 4/5 I really liked how big the table was honestly — like it was enough to serve at least 6 people. It was only me and my partner, though, so that was a different kind of sight. I had to take a star off for the people that came in — it made it just feel like other groups of people are staring you down very occasionally. I’d come back again — their food is quite good. Just be prepared for the upcosts tsk tsk 🥱

Title: Disappointing Experience My recent visit to this establishment left much to be desired. While the ambiance aims for charm, the mismatched tables and initial odor upon entering detracted significantly from the experience. The quality of food did not justify the high prices, and the unwelcome surprise of an automatically added 18% tip felt disheartening. Despite my outspoken concerns, the overall lack of attention to detail and customer satisfaction led me to give this place just one star. I cannot recommend it, as prices do not equate to the value offered. Choose wisely and seek a brighter dining experience elsewhere.

Everything about this place is a 10/10. I went here for the first time months ago and I still think about this place all the time. The staff and owner were great! I always wanted to try Korean food but there isn't anything like this near me. The food, soju, vibes, basically everything was awesome!!! I will definitely be making my way back more often 😋

First off, don't trip off of tip included in the total. They more than exceed the tip! The Korean Cuisine here is top notch. You will not be disappointed. My family enjoys the Korean Short Ribs, Spice Rice Cakes. My go to is the Bibimbap Hot Pot. Be patient, it arrives at your table sizzling. Trying the Japche tonight! The anticipation to open that pot and begin mixing.... OOI!!! Man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Then there's the bits of rice at the bottom of the pot that get crunchy, only adding to the texture. The egg is icing baby!!! The service at Seoul Soon Dubu exemplary. Hiring that Restaurant manager, the kat with ear gages, Chef's kiss. Love the combination of the old and new. The owners with warm welcoming Korean Jobumo (Grandparents) vibe and the new manager with his Rockabilly vibe does it for us. Glasses never empty, always checking in. And the Banchan, my goodness all the banchan!!! Buckwheat noodles and picked daikons ... YES PLEASE! Check out Seoul Soon Dubu, you won't be disappointed!

Dang one of the worst things is when you do your research and are SO excited to try a restaurant and it kinda lets you down for a few reasons that were not even food related. We'll start with the food it WAS delicious I will say! Better than your typical Korean BBQ restaurant? Not really different besides the size of their cheesy corn was bigger and that was nice! The meat was good but very very limited, quality was an 8/10 I loved the bbq chicken option, as well as the brisket and shrimp so stars for the actual food! Now let's get to the downfall part, we walked in and there were maybe 3 seated tables? We honestly thought the restaurant was closed in the beginning because it looked so empty until they came out outside asking us to come in and they were open..our server I don't know his name but some guy with the gages in his ears proceeded to pull us to the back all while talking 100,000 mph while sweat was dripping off his nose. While disappearing frequently. Now I'm a certified girly yapper myself, and I don't mean to jump to conclusions but it was glaringly obvious I didn't know certain folks like him were having a white christmas in july if you know what I mean lol. Yikes. We were also told in the midst of whatever was said that I could barely keep up with is that they have a speak easy bar which is great but all of that with the strange behavior? I rest my case.. to make matters more outlandish, as we're sitting down he mentions that as it was 39.99 per guest we "didn't have to worry about the tip because it was included so would guaranteed to be 100$." I was always under the understanding that gratuity was usually only included in a party of 6 or more? Did he add his own tip? Also the bill was 106 including a salad and my soft drink. Please take note that there were only two of us. When I politely asked for a refill or a bowl or another helping of anything it seemed like a chore (isn't that the point of Korean bbq given we are on a time limit?) Not to mention was 8/10 forgotten, so I just kept quiet because I felt like I didn't want to be annoying at that point.. He also proceeded to apologize for his overt lack of faster service because he was the only server (again there were little to no tables except for us alone in the back) then oddly rambled about how their restaurant was the best in Stockton, Korean owned, and completely bad mouthed K Town Korean BBQ (which we actually love) saying they were the "McDonalds of Chinese food and trash." Poor professionalism as well as nefarious business wise that was out of nowhere, not very nice and highly uncalled for. With that customer service? Stars were deducted because no one wants to be treated like that especially as a customer paying over 100$. There are plenty of more restaurants and Korean BBQ restaurants not only in Stockton but other areas with proper etiquette, cheaper prices and more options, and the best part? To not get riddled with anxiety. The ambiance was fairly small and had strange decorations in the front. When we were led to the back with one menu it was extremely bright but very empty... I do know it gets hot with the grills and we are in summer, but my friend's face was bright red from all the heat from the grill being so hot in the already hot atmosphere. The vibe was just overall weird and like we were an inconvenience for being there because they were trying to close early, when we paid to be there and they asked us to come in? It's a shame and I had high hopes for this restaurant because I love Korean BBQ and with I do believe this place has SO much potential and I will say everyone else was did say hello to us and was very friendly! I really hope they can address the service situation we encountered and they can grow from it as a team. Also adding more options to their menu would be lovely and very beneficial! Especially at the price they are asking for two customers at the moment. That being said, sadly, we will not be returning.

First time here and everything we had was delicious. We ordered the clay pot bibimbop, short ribs and bulgogi combination. You can tell it's a mom and pop restaurant that has care for their business. Service was great and we'll be sure to return.

We ordered Kalbi combo n spicy pork combo with hot stone bibimbop. Food was good and good amount. Seems very busy n took a while to order and took a little longer food to come out. But our server was running here and there to cover entire floor ( there is older man- possibly owner to walk around as well.) and he was kind We refilled glass noodle n spicy radish banchan. Check came out with 18% gratuity and our server informed us about it.

Came here with my son & girlfriend as we were craving KBBQ coming from SoCal . Great meat quality with excellent & warm service. This restaurant also has a speakeasy bar as well as a karaoke bar too! Owners Kenny & Young were very warm & hospitable. Our server Adam was very attentive & radiated positivity ! Certainly a MUST if you visit Stockton CA

Great service, super attentive and thr food was good the rice cakes and japche were 10/10!

Food was great. Service was whatever. Went on a monday and it was slow. Had all you can eat kbb. Grill was hot so the meats cooked quickly. It was good but in the future will go to ktown instead, their service is better there.

I think we found our favorite spot for Korean food. I had this place bookmarked for a while and we finally got to try this place out on Saturday for lunch. We arrived around 1:20pm so we were able to find street parking. This place offers regular dine in or AYCE Korean bbq experience. Their AYCE I believe is $39.99. It's more expensive compared to other AYCE in the area. We opted for the normal dine in. We ordered 3 dishes to share. We got the stone pot bibimbap, beef bbq combo and beef bulgogi combo. These combo dishes comes with a small assorted (beef, shrimp and clam) tofu soup and rice. While we waited for our order we got to enjoy the banchan side dishes. The wait for our food didn't take long and the food tasted so good. We enjoyed everything we got and we pretty much killed everything. Overall, great Korean spot and great service too! We will definitely be back.

Owner is hands on and always pleasant when people arrive. Not a fancy place but it has good food. We ordered our food which never disappoints. I definitely would highly recommend this place if you like Korean food.

$40 all you can eat per person. They had great appetizer and meat options, ice cream was included as dessert, and 18% gratuity is also included. The staff was friendly and accommodating. No complaints to be had.

I don't understand the low reviews. The owners are really friendly, and the food is very traditional and made with care. My pajeon came out within ten minutes and my dolsot bibimbap didn't lag too far behind after that. Service from their spacey server is hit or miss, but the atmosphere is fun and they serve every kind of Korean alcohol. I would love to come back when I'm in the area and try more of their fare.

What a nice authentic Korean food surprise in Stockton! We got the combinations and they were really good. The bibimbap was excellent and the service was pretty good. The restaurant is like an OG/old school Korean restaurant. Kind of like a LA vibe. I think there might be some communication issues as well ordered a mild soondubu but ended up getting a non spicy one and they didn't seem to interested in fixing that.

Great food but I want to acknowledge the LACK of respect that the two older managers or owners (They're a couple) are so rude to their employees! And it's the fact that they don't even hide it, they'll act an a** in front of their customers. Don't recommend. Went a few weeks ago and it was so awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn't the first time. PLEASE DONT GO! Don't support this place!

We had never been here before and came at the recommendation of our friend. She had been here before and really enjoyed the food and portions. The service was excellent. We actually didn't know that they opened at 12 noon, and showed up a little early. But they let us sit there for a few minutes while they set up to open officially. The front end of the restaurant is a little quieter but both are spacious. Nice decorations, and a smiling staff. Great place! The food did not disappoint. My husband and I both had the beef Bulgogi, which had a monstrous portion of rice, ample beef, and sweet potato noodles. They were all extremely tasty. I had ordered the tempura shrimp appetizer and our friend ordered the potstickers. They were all very good. We thought the place was new, but we were told though they've been here for 15 years and I was a guest. Why hadn't I heard of this place before? I regret forgetting to take pictures of our meals. This is the best I can do, pictures of the leftovers. Well, I'll be going here now. We both loved it and there's a lot of new things to try. We will be back!!

Our takeout lunch wasn't very good. The kimchi which is normally good was not this time. The Japchae was salty and greasy. We decided to try the tofu soup and it simply wasn't edible. It was not an inexpensive lunch either. Very disappointed. Not sure what's going on with the restaurant. The time we ordered prior to this one the food was mediocre at best. Not sure what is going on with this restaurant but the quality of the food has taken a nose dive. Will give them a try in another six months to see if it's better because we love Korean food.

This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants! From the AYCE KBBQ options to the soups, and side dishes! The owners are really friendly and sweet, which is the cherry on top! The price point for the KBBQ is totally worth it, especially with the meat options and quality sides! If you're not feeling that, you can't go wrong with the sides. I can eat the side and leave happy! I don't mind the added tip because I don't have to think about it.

I loved the ramen and Jab chae I might have said that wrong anyways I was already going to leave a five star review but then me and my dad forgot our to go box and we left the building then the server was running to us because we forgot our to go box and she gave us the BOX....... Yeah 1000/1000 STARS I RECOMMEND!!!

Love this place, we go almost weekly. The food is always good, the sides, and especially the service! Love going here because they remember us, the owners take time to great us with a fist bump and a smile. Kenny is great, he knows his stuff and always has recommendations not just for their food but for local shopping. Their automatic tip is only 18%, they deserve more.

The food was good, and I like it how you can order up to three meats, alongside three kitches items. The portion of the meat wasn't much. About service, it wasn't bad, but the owner wife or sister came out of nowhere to help to look out at the meat and cut without asking. $39.99 + tax per person, 18% automatic gratuity was added, and were told that we only had 90 minutes to eat and chill, which is enough for us. But still surprising.

In an attempt to clear our list of places we've always wanted to try but have never had the opportunity to do so, we visited Seoul Soom Dubu this evening. We were quickly attended to and shown to our table. Once our food arrived there was never a waiting moment we were shown the controls and quickly got to eating. The food was delicious and on this extremely hot day it was nice to be able to be someplace cool. We ate our fill and more and we're treated to some delicious ice cream afterwards. Overall it was an excellent dinner and we will be back with more friends.

Been craving for Korean food. Hubby decided to bring me to this place. It did not disappoint me. We ordered for BBQ spare ribs combo and Clay pot bibimbap combo. Good for 3 pax already. The price is not bad. They include the tip on your bill. Everything was flavorful. I'm surprised the bibimbap and tofu soup stayed hot til we finished our meals. Good service as well. Will definitely come back.

I got the bean paste tofu stew. It was delicious. The only thing I wish it had was an egg. Other than that, the stew had a yummy fermented bean flavor. Service was great. Even though I came during a busy time, the staff still came by regularly to check on me. Ambiance was nice. Decorations and neon lights were cute. They also played K-pop on TV lol

If you have been wondering whether or not you should come and check this place out, stop wondering and just get your butt in there. The barbecue side of the house is amazing! They use authentic Korean ingredients, better quality meat than any other Korean barbecue spot in San Joaquin county and they make all of their kimchi in-house. The service here is stellar also! So, if you're still debating on it, I hope I helped you make your decision!

Great food and amazing service! Came in with the family to get all you can eat bbq. There are so many things I liked about this place. My top highlights have to be the quality of the short ribs, the spicy tofu soup, and the service. The short rib cut was good. Not very thin like most all you can eat places. The spicy tofu soup is definitely the best here. I could easily just eat that with rice the whole time. Lastly our server was fast and attentive. Overall this place is really good. You get mom and pop vibes from the inside and the staff are really friendly. This is for sure my go to spot in Central Valley.

Literally the only good food spot in Stockton. Soju drinks are great and meat quality is pretty good. Service was fast!

Just so you guys know, they opened up a speakeasy style bar in the back called BCD (Behind Closed Doors). I went opening night. It's nicely decorated, and gives you a chill vibe. I will say, it's pretty small, so be advised that can feel cramped up. The food, like always is good. I got something new and it was goood.

No matter how good the food is, adding an automatic 18% tip takes away the meaning of a tip--it becomes a fee. A tip should be based on service quality and left to the customer's discretion. At 18%, it's not the minimum either, so it feels forced. If it's mandatory, just call it a service charge, not a tip. I've never seen this kind of practice normalized, and it leaves a bad impression.

Seoul Soon Dubu is my go-to Korean barbecue spot. They offer two options: all-you-can-eat or à la carte. When I'm with a big group, the all-you-can-eat option is perfect. However, if it's just me and another person, I usually opt for the à la carte, which is a bit cheaper. For my birthday, the experience was extra special. I believe the owner herself was barbecuing for me so I could relax and enjoy myself, which was incredibly thoughtful. Even though I ended up getting drunk too quickly and couldn't eat as much as I wanted, it remains a memorable moment. I've always wanted to try their karaoke spot in the back but haven't had the chance yet. As a K-pop fanatic, I'd love to sing something in Korean. Hopefully, I'll get to experience it soon. I guess people might call that being a Koreaboo!

This place has good food and great customer service. They remember their regulars and are attentive to their customers.

The best Korean restaurant in town in my opinion. The pork tofu soup and seafood pancake are my absolute favorite dishes and never disappoints. The sides are always delicious and the staff are the best.

We've been coming here every time we crave Korean food for years now. They're small family owned restaurant, really the only authentic korean restaurant in town. They have regular seating and all you can eat available as well. You'll have to try the food for yourself to see that they're much higher quality compare to the other korean bbq places that opened around town. The service was amazing, the owners were involved and was taking care of the customers too. Some of my favorites and must try: Seafood Tofu Soup Veggie/Seafood Pancake Bbq Short Ribs and bulgogi (You can taste how good they marinate it) And the Jap Chae!! You won't find this flavor anywhere else(Trust me!) ALL YOU CAN EAT is definitely worth the price! Top quality meat and great choices including appetizers!! With free ice cream too!

The first thing I will say is, I wish I had found this place 10 years ago. It was recommended by a friend and my family and I came here on a whim and we literally loved everything we ordered. In addition, the owners and the manager made us feel at home i'm really cared about all of their customers. Everything was fresh tasting, and the choices were immense! We will definitely be back very soon!

One of Stockton's OG Kbbq places. It's cute and cozy in there too which adds to the experience. It's also a karaoke at night! The plate I got was the spicy chicken sizzling one & wow it was delicious especially with the sauce on top. Their Kbbq was good although I wasn't doing it right so the owner came and helped me cook the chicken which was so nice of her I really appreciate that of her. It is a lovely spot on miracle mile so check it out when you can. They also do takeout so order ahead if you don't wanna wait since they can get pretty busy.

Food: 5/5 I'm updating my review because we go to this spot so many times. I know there are newer and other KBBQ spots but the food here is sooooo good and very authentic. The owners are a Korean family, very nice people and they recognize us because of how often we come here haha. Favorites: Pork jowl (typically get larger cuts), pork belly (always my fave), beef brisket (you get good ratios of fat to meat in the cut), ramen (flavor of the broth is good and noodles are al dente), takoyaki is always good. OMG, I do have to talk about the soybean paste or ssamjang (orange red paste you see on your table on the small silver plates), the waiter recommended we try it awhile back and I've been OBSESSED since. It pairs so well with any meat really but my fave is pork belly/jowl, with some white rice... omfg! Please try the paste with meat, you WON'T REGRET IT!! The sauce seems to be home made. Another comment to make, I order the meats a lot and the paste for take out, highly recommend it!! I get brisket for take out because they cut it very thinly and you get great cuts, then you can KBBQ at home. Not a lot of stores will sell brisket like this. I also recently tried their tofu soup and OMFG, so good!! The flavor is really good! Some spots have subpar flavor but the flavor here for the jjigae is bomb! I do wish they would have more cuts of meat but honestly they have the basics down so you can't complain. Service: 4/5 The staff are friendly and they started recognizing us since we do come here often. They are typically good with checking in on you and getting your next order. Atmosphere: 3/5 I think the spot does need to be updated but they do have a cool speak easy bar in the back with cool vibes! I highly recommend going there! They just recently opened and found a new bartender. You can also order food to eat at the bar but ofc not the KBBQ option lol. They also have karaoke but I'm not sure if anyone has been using it.

Always a great experience whenever I come here! It's the only Korean bbq spot here in Stockton so it can fill up pretty quickly. They also have the front part of the restaurant where you can eat if you don't want the AYCE experience. I always order pork belly, bulgogi, short ribs, and multiple rounds of brisket. I also order a spicy tofu soup, steamed egg, jap chae, and pot stickers as well. My daughters love the steamed egg and pot stickers. This is a family owned and ran restaurant. They are very welcoming and very attentive. Sometimes you find them doing rounds making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Their staff are also amazing! Parking can be a little tricky sometimes especially on busy evenings but usually I can find a spot in the back lot. Don't hesitate to try if ever in the area!

Had dinner here at around 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday. The place was pretty busy, but I was lucky to get a table for one right away. The guy at the front said tax is included - it's nice they tell you up front. I got the seafood soon dubu and it was scalding hot when it got to the table. It came with rice and a bunch of banchan that was delicious. The soup had one huge shrimp with the head and shell on, some clams, some peeled shrimp, silky tofu, and I added an egg which is extra. It was a lot of food. I ended up taking some of the banchan home. It came out to $21 including a little extra tip. Not super cheap, but everything was great. Would come back to try the seafood pancake.

THE Korean spot in Stockton! Seoul Soon Dubu is a staple on miracle mile. It's my family's go-to Korean restaurant. Good food and great service! Owners and staff are always friendly and helpful. I've ordered the stone pot bibimbap more times than I can count. I love the meat, veggies, and crispy rice from the sizzling hot pot. And it tastes just as good the next day! I usually switch off between that and the soon dubu (tofu soups) - or If I'm feeling extra hungry, I'll get the combo of both! Great spot that I keep coming back to!

All the food here is delicious, the soup, corn, ice cream, all the kbbq options they had were delicious! The owner was so kind and was telling us what dip to use with what meat. We had kalbi, pork belly, spicy pork belly, pork check, brisket etc! Parking was easy for us.

Best KBBQ in town. Best meat - all prime. Best owners, they take pride. I ate there almost weekly the first year. Always comsistent. Go and grub!

My friends and I dined here before a show and it was just fabulous for a local family restaurant. There was a little wait as it's very popular locally. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We're from out of town and my friend found it on Yelp! Definitely worth another visit on a visit coming through Stockton, even though it's a bit far, as we don't have such authentic Korean cuisine in our hometown. I ordered the Bimbimbap in the hot stone bowl, medium heat, one friend ordered the Bimbimbap combo with the tofu soup, and the other the Kalbi combo with the hot tofu soup. Everything we ordered was fabulous! The hot stone bowl for the Bimbimbap is a must so you can get the crunchy rice, which adds another lovely texture after you mix all the fried egg, yummy beef bulgogi, sprouts, mushrooms, sauce, and carrots together. Just pry that crunchy rice off the stone with your spoon! (You don't even need the chopsticks to eat this!) And when you do, it's just an amazing, warm and comforting meal with great flavor, some heat, nice chewiness from the beef/mushrooms and then starchiness of the rice, the crunchy of the sprouts and carrots along with the crispy blackened rice. I could have sat there eating it for a long time! My friend's short ribs were also so good, nice charbroiled flavor and texture! She's lucky I didn't eat her dinner too! The restaurant enviro itself was super active, very busy with conversations, celebrations, and fun 80s and 90s music in the background. Lots of colorful eclectic Asia/Korean decor along with the usual zoomy food photos you'd expect to find in a neighborhood Korean restaurant. The owners said they are working to expand their seating space as well. Lots of variety of guests and great diversity. If you're heading to Stockton Arena for a show, this is a great find on their Miracle Mile that you won't regret. Call ahead to see if you can get a reservation or expect about a 30 minute wait, longer for parties of more than 4. Enjoy!

Food is always fantastic the japchae chefs kiss I wished they added meat like before. Shorts ribs always tasty would definitely recommend that. Unlimited appetizers you get to choose three at a time and amount that they give is unspeakable. Service fast and efficient can never go wrong with that. Place is very spacious good for throwing parties and they have recently added a bar! Recommendations for this place is a hell yeah!

This is our go to place for Korean food in the Central Valley. We love that they serve banchan and the Combination tofu soup with another meal really satisfies our cravings. Service is great and the ambiance is ok. I definitely would recommend this place.

Again this place always delivers. Our server/manager Adam was so helpful. Recommended a Korean beer Cass and it was delicious. He even let us know that we can purchase the sides to go and 2 small containers was 6 dollars each. They also do that with the meats as well. They have a really nice bar there as well and they also expanded the all you can eat area and I must say it looks really nice. This will always be my go to Korean bbq spot. I've supported them for years and will continue to do so! Give this place a shot you haven't everyone!

The spicy chicken and their teriyaki chicken with house made teriyaki is pretty delicious. The teriyaki sauce isn't too sweet and has a texture of gravy like, which I enjoyed. The chicken was very moist, better than their beef dishes I've had in the past. Tofu soup is good. I got a spice level of spicy, but it's never too spicy for me. The cucumber kim chi style is crunchy and delicious, so is the kimchi. Everything hit the spot for me. Customer service has always been good here. If you're here for the kkbq they have seating in a different area under the vents. They have a parking lot in the back if you can't find any in the front.

Maybe 3.5 stars? Ambiance is okay. Sat at the regular tables for lunch. We were seated as a party of 2 at one table then were changed for another due to a large party reservation. The large party was late and in the end didn't show- they should consider charging a deposit for large parties. They have limited space and to almost send customers away for a party that didn't show up is a little off. My mom ordered the bulgogi and I ordered the spare ribs. She was satisfied and I was content. Could've had more of a wow factor but they were good. They have added Korean bbqs and would be possibly interested in trying that option. They do have friendly service but its really odd that tip is already included. The waiter made a comment that our table was good even though we were waiting to get his attention. I think businesses should charge more if they want their employees to make more. Gratuity should be given at the discretion of the guest. The owner was very kind and attentive when the waiter wasn't.

My family had a great time dining here, everything was delicious. Our favorites were the Korean short ribs, gyoza, kimchi pancake, and tofu soup. Portions were plentiful. Staff were great as well!

Came here cause I really missed the tofu soup lol they make the best soup!! The meats were such nice quality especially the short rib. Service is a good as usual :) everyone is friendly!

I've tried a lot of korean places even in Hawaii but this is by far the BEST KBBQ place among them. The owner too are very nice couple. Very welcoming and friendly. I love them both!
