Additional Information
TL:DR Lukewarm sake, slow service, food coming out in awkward order, middle of the road flavor. Large family get-together. We... sampled quite a bit of their appetizers, family style BBQ, and drinks. The sake came out barely warm, the average price of anappetizer was $10 but it's usually 4 pieces of small morsels. That $2.50 for a bite sized food. It was all a hit or miss. TheirBBQ was decent, but it's distinctly a Korean BBQ recipe. For that, I'd rather go to a real Korean BBQ house. Their soup was abit too salty, and they clearly didn't understand that it's not a standalone soup, but was mean to be eaten with rice.Management needs to understand what some of these dishes are in context to the origin. Overall, it was an OK experience. Theservice was slow but friendly. There were some decent dishes mixed in, but didn't stand out. It wasn't a fusion of Japanese andKorean cuisine, but just a set of jumbled dishes with no new flavors from these two powerhouse nations. Price certainly didn'tmeet expectation. Read more
Food is nice. The restaurant is clean and service is good. Not too busy on Saturday afternoon. We had meat lover course. The... meat quality is as good as expected and it’s worth to upgrade to Prime Kalbi Short Rib! Overall experience is great but notreally enough in terms of quality for two men. Read more
It was my first experience at a Japanese BBQ spot and it was fun. The menu is large and the value is amazing because it's all... you can eat in a 90 minute time-frame. I went with my best friend and we had a great time. Our server was so sweet and gave usrecommendations on the different meats options and how they differ. Read more
Came here for lunch and had a great time. Our server Marcus regularly came by to check up on us. The food came quickly and the... meat is definitely high quality compared to Korea. BBQ. Great place to get a quality meal in downtown Oakland! Read more

We chose the Premium all-you-can-eat on a Wednesday evening. The meats and most side dishes were very good but the salads were... not fresh and the lettuce on the salad was pretty much gone bad. The garlic shio cabbage had a horrible aftertaste and thegarlic was bitter. The service was horrible. Our waiter was very slow and he seem to be avoiding us most of the time. The GM wasuseless as if he wasn’t there. We asked for the bill and 30min later, we still did not get it, we asked for the bills a coupleof times and we ended standing and walking to the counter to ask for it again. And even then they took another 10min, apparentlythere was a mixed up with the bill. I felt like just walking away without paying but We are honest people and we were superpatient waiting for the service and the bill. The service was very slow in everything from bringing the food, ordering the food,getting the attention of the waiter, etc. The sauce bottles were very sticky, they should be cleaning the bottles each time aparty finishes their meal and before the new customers sit on that table. We wish the staff was trained better and can providebetter service. Read more
