“This place was sooooo nice and yummy! The servers and owner were very kind and attentive. There is also a button to call the servers over if you need anything which was really convenient. The restaurant is also very clean and nice inside. We got the pork jowl, special cut pork belly, pork shoulder, and thin cut beef brisket which were all super yummy! No issue in quality. It included side dishes and a soup which was also really yummy. To finish everything off we got the spicy cold noodles. Prices were also really reasonable! I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you!”
“The food was absolutely incredible! Easily one of the most authentic and delicious Korean meals I've had in US. The service was just as impressive. The staff grilled everything for us and took the time to explain the dishes, all with a warm and friendly attitude. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“OMG THE BEST KBBQ IN AMERICA. Honestly it’s just like the bbqs in Korea. The quality of food was incredible. The service was incredible quick. They were so attentive, like before we even had to say anything, they were already at our table helping us or getting us something. The variety of banchan was vast and so delicious! Every time we’re in the area we make sure to stop by!! This is our go to spot! 10/10 for everything!! Also in the woman’s restroom they have a bidet so 11/10 actually”
“This is my FAVORITE place! The staff are always so kind, the food is delicious, and most importantly it’s VERY, very clean. They even change my grill without me asking if it gets burnt, and whenever you ask for more side dishes they bring them out right away. I always order the thin sliced pork (Dae Pae Samgyeop). In the last photo is Hangjeongsal (sorry I can’t remember the English name 😅). It usually comes in a pretty flower shape, but I already ate a few pieces before taking the picture lol I really appreciate how clean they keep the wooden boards and dishes. The vegetables are always fresh, which I love. And when you order meat, stew and rice come with it, so it’s just a really nice, satisfying meal🍚🍲🥩 They also always play great music.. so if you live nearby or you have guests visiting(I seriously want to bring my parents here) this is definitely a Korean BBQ spot you have to try!!”
“We finally got a chance to try this place, this has been on my radar for awhile. After reading some recent reviews, I want to clarify that they speak English here, people. Smh. They do have a good amount of parking here. It’s not huge but you should be able to find a spot. The actual restaurant is big so finding a table is not a problem. We got seated almost immediately. They do have a button on the wall to call for service when you are ready. We ordered king kalbi, pork jowl, pork galbi, and seafood pancake. They have vegetable soybean paste stew that comes automatically with your meal. For banchan they have about 10 dishes including lettuce and salad. Yes they are refillable, you just have to ask. Everything tasted good. The seafood pancake was fully cooked. Please see picture. The pork jowl was juicy and a little fatty. It went well with the mushroom and onion. The king kalbi and pork galbi were delicious, you can cook the bone too. There is still meat on there. Service was very attentive, they checked up on us often and got us everything that we needed. I like this one better than Jin Soo.”
“the hosts were really really nice and took great care of us, the food and drinks were served quickly and the pork belly and makgeolli in particular were my favorite!! we got complementary steamed eggs and stew which were amazing, and the music and vibes were very nice. i'd definitely come again, thank you so much!!”
“We had an amazing experience at 336 Korean BBQ! The beef brisket and pork belly were incredibly fresh and flavorful, especially the wet-aged cuts that grilled perfectly at the table. The staff was attentive and fast, helping us BBQ and making sure we had everything we needed. The side dishes and kimchi fried rice were delicious and authentic, and the whole meal felt greasy, tasteful and satisfying. One of the best Korean BBQ spots in the area—highly recommended! ⸻”
“Great service and food. Diverse selection of complimentary sides which was a nice surprise including a soup. We had the marinated beef short rib, and the thin cut pork belly garlic. Bith very flavorful and would definitely get again.”
