"Was a bit scared at first! But Monica was lovely it was my first time and I and no idea what I was doing but Monica is so helpful and is so sweet! She helped me so much nothing was too silly to ask. 10/10 would love to come back! You chose what you want to eat then go back to the table and cook the meat and veg to your own liking."

"We had dinner at this Korean BBQ restaurant and overall it was really good. The meat was fresh, the salads were crisp, and there was a great variety of condiments and side dishes to enjoy. One small note — some of the marinated meats were a bit too sweet for our taste. If the marinade were lighter, it would easily be a 5-star experience. It’s a great place for families and kids, with plenty of options for everyone. We’d happily come back again!"

"Pretty good overall. I'd say the cut off meats were somewhat inconsistent with the thickness but as long as you got the timing right with coming then it was great! I'd say they need better air-conditioning in the establishment as it was very humid and warm with the burners going and the number of patrons."

"Fried rice aside which even I can cook better, all the food was good including several types of salads with all the dressings you can think of. There's even Fries there which would keep the young ones happy. One thing though that they don't advertise is that you only have two hours there not from 5-10pm that they are open which I'm sure some people would like to do. You aren't verbally told this but there's signs throughout the restaurant that do. Anyway worth going back to."
