My family and I absolutely love this place. They brought back to all-you-can-eat menu and take reservations again. We have been there several times with large parties and the service has been great as well as the food and meat. They have private rooms or if you reserve it with time you get to be with your family without all the outside commotion. On the weekends and in the evenings there is typically a wait list. Although I'm not really big on sake they have a good selection, as well as draft beers. Can forget the sake bombers! The quality of the meats has always been great and they don't mind changing out your grill like some places. I definitely recommend this place if you'd like to spend time having chopstick battles with your family or just enjoying a celebration, it's great! Don't forget a macaroon on your way out
The service / food is always great!
We always come here in group so the pricing is reasonable and we all split. The owner is really kind and always helps around the restaurant.
I love coming here and will always recommend others to give it a try. It’s a savory, welcoming, satisfying environment.
Our waitress was amazing everything was very good quality. Her name was Leslie and she was so sweet (she was a young african american woman). We ordered a lot of plates and definitely got our moneys worth. Would come again, the desert was so cute as well, green tea bing-soo was so delicious. Kudos to our server again for amazing customer service :)
First, if you read any of my other reviews, I am half Korean so I am a bit picky/snooty when it comes to Asian food. I don't live here in Phoenix, but my wife, 2 of my adult kids, and oldest granddaughter were coming in for the weekend, and coming to see Metallica. I know there are some good KBBQ restaurants in the area, so that was most definitely on our agenda for the weekend! There aren't many options in ABQ, so whenever we go out of town, Korean is on the menu! An acquaintance recommended that we try a different KBBQ place, so that was what we were planning on doing. So I Googled the restaurant to find it, and see how far it was from our Airbnb. While doing so, I also read the reviews. They weren't bad, biggest complaint was price (too expensive for what you get), then second was that occasionally service was bad, or staff was giving bad vibes. So I searched for another place, and found this one. This place also had a location in Denver, CO which we tried previously. I must say, this is probably the BEST Korean BBQ I have had, outside of L.A.! My mom and my aunt had always made some serious Korean food (my mother had a Korean restaurant years ago when she was still alive). My uncle was in L.A. in Koreatown, so I was lucky enough to vist 2-3 times a year, for MANY years when he was alive. So, I have eaten a TON of KBBQ in my life! I have said before that Seoul KBBQ and Hot Pot in Denver was the best ever, but this one here in Phoenix IS better, and most definitely the best outside of Los Angeles! We met some friends there, and we reserved a private room (9 of us) and even after everything we ordered, it averaged out to be about $70 per person. We also had 2 rolls of Sushi, probably 10 bottles of Soju, and 5 or 6 draught beers as well, they were all at an additional charge, but included in my average per person. Oh, and we DID do the all you can eat option. Service from Dave was on point, even though the place was packed. The owner also came over to say hello, which we thought was pretty cool. Everyone there was very nice, and helpful. Didn't get too many photos, as we were all pretty excited to be there! Our friends had not had this before, so they were not sure of what to order, and how to do it. They all agreed that it was phenomenal, a truly great time and meal. We had Korean ribs (of course!), spicy pork, bulgogi, and spicy chicken.
All in all, if you are looking for a good dining experience, don't hesitate, just do it!
The food was very good. I was especially a fan of the beef and pork dumplings (gun mandu). There are two options, all you can eat and a pay by item system where the servings are larger. My aunt and I had never done kbbq so we went with the latter. If you’re not a huge fan of meat don’t worry, there are tons of vegetarian options and dishes you can modify to be vegetarian. The menu is not limited to kbbq or even just Korean cuisine either. Japanese dishes like sushi and Korean Chinese fusion dishes are offered. You also get refillable side dishes.
The staff are very welcoming and ready to explain pronunciation and dishes to you and give you plenty of time to decide. I went with my service dog and staff ignored her completely which was great.
I will warn the restaurant is pretty loud and busy so you may want to be prepared should you decide to go.
Delicious BBQ experience... Know about the rules properly and ask questions if you have any doubts. The staff out there is very helpful!!! Reasonable price and good food !!!
Go for it !!!
Great experience! The Mexican rolls were our favorite. All you can eat sushi and a pitcher of beer (Scottsdale Blonde) during our visit kept us full and satisfied. The wait was a little longer than expected but food was awesome. Restaurant is spacious and can accommodate large parties too.
Will be back.
Such a cool experience! It was my first time trying Korean BBQ and my server was so polite and patient walking me through options and recommending items to try. I ended up with a few different rolls from the Korean bbq side (pork belly and I forget what was in the second roll), spicy ramen, gyoza, and then cooked a shaved, marinated ribeye and pork belly on the hot plate. Both meats were fantastic. The pork belly I cut up and put in the spicy ramen and it was the definition of “hurts so good”- a slow burn that had loads of flavor and was absolutely delicious.
I can’t wait to go back and try more.
We ordered take out for dinner. They gave side dishes for guests which was very delicious. My favorite dish was the fried chicken wings (I like how they separated sauce for take out order to prevent sogginess) The batter was very crispy, and the meat was juicy.
The chicken soup stuffed with rice was very soothing. The galbi jim (stew beef ribs) was very savory.
Seafood pancake was the dish that I didn’t like the most because it was soggy and the pancake was a bit too dense for my taste.
The bulgogi and dakbulgi was so fresh and delicious! All the side dishes were tasty, as well. The green tea bingsu is super yummy and refreshing for an after dinner treat. The waiter was super polite, friendly, and attentive. We will definitely go back!
Great all you can eat bbq restaurant in Phoenix! The wait for a late dinner for two was very short (no more than 10 minutes), and the waiters were very quick bringing out food and getting everything set-up. The bulgogi here is very well seasoned, and the banchan is very tasty. The sushi we had was also very delicious, especially the eel roll. I only wish they had more seasoning options for your meat, they had a spicy gochujang-like sauce, and salt and pepper. I would have enjoyed some soybean paste or simply more options of soy sauce or chili flake for the meats that were not pre-marinated. The bing-soo was a bit lackluster, it tasted like they kept it in a freezer until you order one, instead of shaving the ice and adding toppings fresh. It would be nice to see some more chicken or seafood options, but the restaurant has great servers and a beautiful ambience.
Niece surprised us with going to this place and damn wasn't prepared for the price. For 4 kids 2 adults came out to $200 and that was 3 bento boxes 4 rolls of sushi and 4 beers. Not a place for chepos like me. Got the sushi because it was cheaper. But sushi was ok the wow factor is definitely cooking your own food which I wish was better explained to us but that's our fault i didn't ask just saw my wallet getting skinny. I would go again just with the wife tho.
Seoul BBQ and Sushi is an experience. I went with my friends the other day and had one of the best dining experiences ever! It was fun cooking the food on the grills and passing it around as we all made requests on what we wanted cooked.
The food was excellent and in all honesty it was some of the best tasting meat I have ever had!
The staff was very friendly and nice and helped us figuring things out since most of us were beginners.
Overall, I would heavily reccomend this place to anyone who wants a great experience and great food. I am definitely coming back here again soon to try the other meats.
Been here all my life drove pass this place I never knew it was open till now I enjoyed every bite the food was fresh the customer service was great
Second time I have been here and my experience was much better than the first time. We went with the all you can eat option of the meats and sushi and it came out to about $50 per person with drinks. The server was very nice and explained everything we had questions about, got to pick about 5 rolls at a time to give the chef time to prepare and several meats and appetizers and would order more as wanted. Got to grill our own meats which is different than the first time we came so it allowed us to pick the done-ness of our beef. All in all the marinated meats were supreme and the rolls were all good tried about 10 different rolls and they didn't disappoint. The restaurant was very clean and still looks as it did when it opened so it has had great upkeep, the bathroom was beautiful and very clean. They had good music playing in the background not too loud.
This place will be our new spot! It’s so amazing we enjoyed it so much. The spicy ramen is delicious and the meat is perfectly seasoned. Great service and atmosphere!
