    I went on a quieter Monday night - so I can imagine this place is much more energetic on the weekends. The meal was absolutely delicious - many options for beef and pork, ala-carte or combo. The service was friendly and professional. Absolutely on the same level of KBBQ I've gone to in NY, LA and Seoul. So glad that there's a spot like this in Boston!

    One of my go to restaurants that I visit frequently and recommend highly to friends but unfortunately will NOT be returning after this most recent visit. Drinks were never brought, rice was ordered and forgotten until our food was getting cold, the special told to us by our waitress was completely wrong than what it actually was, and they were out of stock of several meats (that the waitress explicitly recommended). I get we all have off days, but the waitress was laughing and could not care less - same with the manager who showed little to no concern over our very poor dining experience. With a $250+ bill for 2 people, I think you can find better in the Boston area. Will not be returning

    This is an incredibly authentic K-BBQ! The staff are all Korean. The food is prepared and presented in true Korean fashion. This is absolutely the best K-BBQ outside of K-Town in Manhattan and our favorite mom & pop place in Burlington. Absolutely blows the doors of Gyu-Kaku which is not a Korean establishment and buries Koreana! The setting is fun and edgy but the atmosphere is outrageously loud so don't expect to hold a conversation! Amazing!

    Wonderful food and service. Love that they do all the grilling for you. The beef combo out did the pork combo in my opinion. One piece of feedback is the music can be much lower so that we can have a conversation without yelling.

    Alec and the whole team was super nice, attentive, grilled the food to our liking! Ask for Alec section (but I’m sure everyone is great too). Thanks for another tasty and fun dining experience. 정말 감사합니다.

    Generally good but variety of non BBQ is very limited. Nice decor and very clean. Valet parking is a huge bonus. BBQ price is a bit over the top (quality and quantity). If what you want is ambiance and parking convenience then this is a good option but you'll get much better price performance from other local Korean BBQ restaurants.

    First time here. Ordered the small beef combo. Just enough for two people! Meat was excellent. Sides were delicious. As was the glass noodles with veggies and pork. Service was excellent. Very friendly and super helpful. Was a great experience over all!
