  This place left a lot to be desired. Some of the cuts like the regular beef were really bland and not really flavorful. The pork was decent. The short rib which is only available during dinner was also pretty good. It helped that the short rib was marinated compared to the regular beef. The ventilation is horrible the entire place is filled with enough smoke to make your eyes water. You will reek of smoke after you leave. The service was okay, although getting the attention of the staff could sometimes be a challenge.

  I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The food is definitely the best part of this restaurant, as is appropriate for any restaurant. Everything else could be perfect but, if the food is terrible, no one would ever go back. I came on a Friday night, so I had the widest selection of AYCE possible. The white fish and the salmon were my favourites, along with the lamb, but their beef, steak, chicken, etc. were very good as well. The service wasn't too bad. Specific people were assigned specific tasks, so you can't ask the wrong person for more food or more tea, or it'll take a lot longer to get it. Some people are only there to make sure your barbecue is still going, so there's no point in trying to order from them at all. The location is loud and the air quality isn't that great. After dinner was over, I reeked of barbecue. Ventilation could definitely be better, since I've come out of other Korean barbecue locations and not reeked of barbecue for hours. Of all the places I've been to, I believe this is the worse for ventilation. As ever, parking is atrocious. This plaza has the worst parking possible. I was lucky because I pulled in as someone was pulling out and managed to park right in front. However, most of the time, parking could mean several restaurants away or even at a different lot. I'm not really sure why, but there is definitely not enough parking available in this plaza.
