What makes it special: All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ with a deep cut list and fast pacing.
Who should go: Hungry groups wanting lots of meat for a fixed price.
When to visit: Late lunch or early dinner to dodge peak wait times.
What to order: Brisket, Berkshire pork belly, marinated pork short rib rounds.
Insider tip: Upgrade to the fuller meat tier if you want seafood and offal.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is available but very limited after 6pm; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option during peak hours.
Dress code: Casual and comfortable — jeans, sneakers, and relaxed night-out attire all fit right in.
Noise level: Loud and energetic — expect constant grill noise, music, and group chatter.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Typically little to no wait during early afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — a few grilled vegetables, rice, and banchan, but the experience is very meat-centric.
Vegan options: Very limited — mostly side dishes and lettuce wraps; not ideal for a full meal.
Gluten-free options: Partial — many meat cuts are naturally gluten-free, but marinades and sauces may contain gluten.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, high-energy first dates than intimate ones — it’s fun and interactive, but loud and smoky.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect long waits on weekends; weekday lunches and early dinners are your best bet for walk-ins.
Is it kid-friendly? Okay for older kids who enjoy grilled meats, but the noise, smoke, and late-night crowd make it less ideal for toddlers.
Best For
Better for: All-you-can-eat volume, fast table turnover, late-night dining, and feeding large groups on a predictable budget.
Skip if: You want premium wagyu, quiet conversation, or a curated, chef-driven Korean BBQ experience instead of rapid-fire grilling.
