Shinhwa Korean Steakhouse

Are you ready for something amazing? Then look no further. You walk in and are greeted with a smile and some catchy tunes, you then pay first so you don't have to worry about someone bugging about your bill. (We paid $80 for dinner grill and hotpot for 2) Next you are led to where you will be dining where you get 2 hours after they explain how everything works very clearly. You can ask for a menu (I did so you can see just how much they offer) But you place your order on a tablet, and boy does it come out quick. The food is vast and invites you to expand your palette. After you place an order you might be surprised to find a robot (my wife named it Fiji) that brings you your food. You cook, however long or little as you'd like, it's up to you. After all of the excitement is over and you are done with the 2 hours, you'll be treated to a tasty complimentary ice cream and if you order alcohol, you can keep the cute bottle... The wife was excited about that 😂. 5🌟 what a fun experience worth your hard earned money

I used to really enjoy this place when it first opened but now when ordering you have to order three of the same thing to get a decent portion (I know it’s AYCE but you just have to order again and again). My final straw was getting there and getting to a dirty nasty table and grill, then asking to switch and that grill is nasty too. I pointed it out to staff and she didn’t seem to care so we got a refund and left. I literally had to clean the grill with a napkin in front of them to show how dirty it was with grease and old food crumbs. When you guys start cleaning your tables and grills I’ll come back.

Boy the food, service, and atmosphere did not disappoint! Food came out quick. Service was there refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything. Only thing I could complain about is the wait. Food so good we waiting 1 1/2 to get Seated. First timers so we didn't know to show up early to get put on the waiting list then leave and just watch your phone and when it gets closer just come back. But like I said, definitely worth the wait!

I'm very impressed with this place. I love food. The price was great and the selection was wonderful. It was a colder day so we had the hot pot. I had the Sry mushroom flavor and friend had traditional Sichuan flavor which is spicy. We had a blast trying this place out. Will come back and we will try both barbecue and hot pot. :) yum yum. The place was packed. I do NOT think it's a place to bring your kids. Hot items there can cause burns. I thought the crying kid was annoying.

Food here is fun and interactive. I especially like the beef ribs and the mango ice cream for dessert... The sauce table is pretty cool that you can make your own dipping sauces. Quite a variety of dips and sauces to choose from!

so so delish. the bar had many sauces to chose from, and side dishes like kimchi. there was also fruits and desserts, kind of reminded me of a chinese buffet which i loved. My family did the bbq and there was so many options to chose from! loved all the meats my personal fav was the beef bulgogi, and cooking the food was so fun! we were a little confused at first and the waiter was so helpful and understanding. great customer service. also the place had kpop videos all over the screens which we found fun to watch and a robot that serves the food! second we left, we said we couldn’t wait to come back. ate till i couldn’t breathe. thanks for the wonderful meal!

Came here for dinner on a Friday. The place was packed. Was told there was a 30 min wait. No problem. After 20 min we got a table. You have to pay first and tip first before you're seated. We skipped the line! Yes! But we got a smaller table for 6. They brought out two chairs to sit on the end of the booth. Didn't like that too much. There was hardly any room table for the food coming in and to eat. The Galbi short ribs were probably the best meat selection. No complaint there. Everything else was eh okay. I didn't like the Hunan beef. It has a weird taste to it. They lack banchan too. Kimchi has a sour taste to it. The seaweed was okay. I liked the Mix fruit drink. Also, the service was weak. They hardly came around given the small space to pick up the dishes. I had to ask them twice to switch the grill.

I am a huge fan of Korean BBQ and have been to a dozen or so places out on the West Coast. Shinhwa is one of the best dine-in, grill at the table Korean BBQ places I've ever been to yet! I was impressed at the modern layout, friendly staff, and amazing food. The staff were always quick to change out grills, bring out food, and even made some great suggestions from the menu. I also really liked the robot cat servers buzzing around and brining food dishes to the tables, what a neat concept! All in all I would highly recommend this place. Make sure you get there early or prepare to wait for up to an hour for a table, but it's still worth the wait!
