“Love the food, always. Staff is attentive and friendly. The photo service is fun and the three pokestops make this a great place to hang out and play pokemon go.”

“Food was amazing and flavorful. I had the tom yum soup and my husband had the herb flavored soup. I loved the Kalov, brisket, and steak meat. This place is amazing and service is also just as good. Stop in to try it. They have a party room too.”

“It was great to get a 3 in 1 (bbq, hot pot, sushi buffet) deal for a great price! Food was fresh! On top of that, we had great framed pics provided for friends visiting from Montreal!”

“We love this place, the buffet is amaizing and the people is very nice, I definitely recommended it!!”

“Muy delicioso todo y muy buena atención un saludo para el personal que estuvieron muy atentos a nuestro cervicio”

“I am absolutely thrilled with this place! 10/10! I highly recommend it to everyone! I had wanted to visit much earlier, but for some reason, I kept changing my mind. Now, for my birthday, we suddenly decided to come here for dinner. Saying I was impressed is an understatement. First of all – the place is huge! It’s interestingly designed in a galaxy style, very modern. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Everyone is quick and efficient, no time wasted. The food is excellent! I mean… I’m a huge fan of Korean BBQ, so for me, this was heaven on earth. There are plenty of appetizers, sauces, desserts… and everything is included in the price of lunch or dinner, depending on when you come. All in all – I can’t wait to come back again!”

“Great variety of meat options! Broths were delicious as well. Friendly staff and quick service. One of my favorite experiences so far this year!”

“Great experience! Thanks Daniel for taking the photo for us on Valentine’s Day :) will be coming back!! Great staff”

“Honestly the place is amazing food and staff are very friendly and on point with their service. Met a guy named Daniel and he’s an amazing photographer and gave me and my friend our own pictures of the place. A blast to eat at.”

“I went on a Monday evening and had great service and low wait times. This was my third time dining in and I noticed some of the meat portions were significantly smaller. One of our dishes we had to order 3+ times as it arrived with two small pieces at a time. The meat and food quality remains high. However I would not recommend if you are gluten free. The base provided is hot water. Attached is the gluten free menu. Additionally, after reviewing the bill I noticed that the pre suggested tip amounts were including the tax. After bringing this up to management there was no solution provided or concern voiced. I feel that this is dishonest to the consumer.”
