“BBQ Garden – Saturday, January 24, 2026 Our party of six had a great time at BBQ Garden, a fantastic spot for Korean BBQ buffet lovers. We went with the Dr. Luxe AYCE menu, which included brisket, beef bulgogi, short ribs, pork belly, and shrimp—all perfectly seasoned and freshly grilled. The side dishes were excellent and plentiful, ranging from seaweed salad, radish and kimchi to bean sprouts and cucumber salad—a real treat for the gut microbiome! We finished with ice cream for dessert, the perfect cool ending to a hearty meal. The ambience was lively yet comfortable, making it ideal for a big group dinner. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended for gatherings or anyone craving good K-BBQ in a fun setting.”
“Perfect spot for a family gathering! The BBQ was delicious, the meat quality was excellent, and all the side dishes were tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our large family visit smooth and enjoyable.”

“price per person 38.99. there is a 2 hour order limit. for four it came out to $201, $17 tax and $28 for service.”
“It was a really bad experience. We found this restaurant online and drove for an hour with high expectations to have a meal. However, the attitude of the service staff was disappointing. A tall waitress didn't allow my one years old daughter to walk underground, that is OK，so her grandparents and I took turns to take her outside to play. Because she too little can't sit still to eat. We only ordered three things at a time, which wasn't much.Before my husband finished eating, they kept reminding him that there would be charge extra， Besides, I was taking care of the child and hadn't eaten yet. The point is there wasn't much left on the table: very little cooked meat, a bowl of noodles, and the pork belly that was being grilled. Each thing was in small quantities, only the pork belly. One portion is thick and consists of three large pieces. We don't eat pork, so my husband has to finish that tree large pieces . Doing business like this is really terrible，that make us feel as if even a small piece of leftover meat would charge you $20.they also insisted on charging a 18% tip.I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there”
“Bad service, forced tips, they took back raw meat and potentially reuse them. Don’t come due to food safety concerns.”
“Great food, staff was super friendly and accommodating for our large group. Everyone had a great experience and we will definitely be going back!”
