   Great meat quality and the server cooked our food in enormous fashion. The cold noodles were delicious.

   Beef just soso, the place not allow u to sit in and wait for the others even 5 mins early than the booking while the restaurant was half empty at the moment, shows no flexibility to customers just pretending they have their rules to manage the restaurant, won’t go again !

   The big thing I want to note that while the service was mostly pretty good, I marked it at a 3. The reason being was that we ordered everything up front. Our original server never put in our dinner order. So while appetizers and drinks came out, our dinner didn't. Fortunately, we weren't in a hurry. Eventually after an hour, we stopped one of the servers to ask about our dinner. We were informed that no one had put in our dinner order. Afterwards, the service was great. We had a different server, and he really took care of us. I'll chalk it up to one mistake (although if we had somewhere we needed to be, I would probably have been very annoyed). That being said, otherwise, everything was great. The food was fantastic. We had friends in our group who have never had Korean barbeque before, and they loved the food. I would be willing to come here again.

   I’d give it five stars overall: food was excellent, service was very good and friendly, and the vibe was nice. The only downside was that it was quite loud, exacerbated by the table having to be big to accommodate the grill and all the banchan!

   Booth seats are uncomfortable and need replacement. Food was just ok. No vegetable, chicken or seafood options for bbq. Very overpriced for the experience. $100+ pp, w/only 2 drinks. Meh.

   I had an amazing dining experience at Antoya BBQ! The premium platter, japchae, mandoo, and flavorful ban chan, especially the kimchi, were all fantastic. The highlight was the perfectly cooked Galbi—tender and juicy. A big shoutout to Johnny, who went above and beyond, helping us cook and explaining each dish with great care. Antoya BBQ offers incredible food and service, making it totally worth it!

   For one of our first experiences in a Korean BBQ restaurant, I think this was a great place to start. The restaurant is quite cosy and the service was excellent. The waitstaff explained what everything was and how to eat it. The extensive menu is filled with pictures, so no guessing about the food. Everything was really tasty and plentiful (actually, we ordered too much!). The unique cooking elements at every table were very efficient and effective. We will definitely return to enjoy this good value (Michelin recommended) restaurant in Koreatown.
