   Delicious selections from sushi to burgers and many interesting offerings between. Service was so good I thought I was in a different world. Price not bad either. I’m definitely going back.

   Birthday / Anniversary dinner with my love (@anniessweetstuff )! Annie’s birthday and our 11 yr anniversary was yesterday and we celebrated at Lava Korean Steakhouse (@lavakoreanstakehouse ). Walking in your immediately touched by the simple beauty of this restaurant, elegant but not pretentious. Annie started with a Rum Punch ( and it had a punch to it! ) and I enjoyed a very large Mango Margarita ( excellent taste and mixed nicely) . The tables are set up so you can have your meal cooking at your table or brought out fully prepared, we tried the fully prepared meals this time but will definitely do the table cooking next time . I started with the Fried Calamari with a delicious Thai Chili sauce , calamari fried nicely but the sauce just kicked it up a notch , flavorful and not overly spicy, Annie and I shared an order of “Mandoo” ,5 fried chicken dumplings, these were light with lots of flavor and filled perfectly . Annie’s meal was a chicken and steak Habachi with rice and grilled vegetables, for my meal I had the Mongolian Beef scallions and a house brown sauce . Both our meals were delicious, the meats were tender ( my marinated beef practically melted in my mouth) and plentiful and vegetables cooked beautifully. Kaleb our server was excellent, friendly , personable, and never rushing us but always asking if we had any questions or wants. Everything about Lava was excellent, from the decor the atmosphere the amazing foods , our server and truly reasonably priced . The bar is spacious and an outside dining area adds to the experience. Looking forward to going back again soon, you should definitely give this little gem a try.

   It's a newer restaurant, the ambiance not great - The lighting is way too bright - looks more like a cafeteria rather then a upscale dining destination. The food and service was good, but it's pricey - The room needs a makeover to if you're offering a higher end product, the space should be complementary -

   Nice experience cooking at the table. The food was well prepared and would appeal to most. The spice level was on the mild side, but still balanced. The service was outstanding and delightful, very attentive, thus making the experience exceptional.

   Way overpriced to cook your own food. Description of the restaurant didn’t specify you would be cooking your own food. Definitely will not be going back. Disappointed

    Great Resturant. The dining experience is very interactive. No matter if you BBQ at your in table pit or if you share a kitchen cooked meal the cuisine lends it self to sharing due to the serving style. For those of you that are nervous about experiencing Korean Good for the first time don’t worry. The Lava’s Staff has mixed traditional Korean food tastes while not startling your American Taste buds. Our staff consisted of Andrew, Skyler, Henry & Kyle. They soon become intimate members of your Dinning experience, explaining the dishes and recommending spicing of the food based on your palate. Sharing with those in your party will bring you a night of cooking together and sharing of flavors! Meals in Korea are certainly communal. No one is an observer and everyone belongs and are welcome at the table. Guests, family, strangers, and drop in’s. You can experience these Korean traditions in North Myrtle Beach! Give Lava Korean Steakhouse a try, you will make it a regular!
