The food was fantastic! The selection of meats and veggies to cook is great. We had amazing service Jae was our server and he was so fun and really took care of us. The atmosphere was really fun for a Friday night, the whole restaurant was buzzing. A great experience all around.
New check-in station in the lobby - digital waitlist - was a great way to check in and you get notified when your table is ready on your phone. In terms of food; Cajun pork was my favorite. All you can eat is pricey but totally worth it if your group is hungry and looking to try lots of new things without worrying about racking up the bill. Great double date experience as long as someone in the group has some knowledge of cooking. Spent about $40-$50 per person including sodas, taxes, tips.
I think I finally found the best Korean barbecue here in Utah. The experience at this restaurant from start to finish was incredible.
We came here after a strenuous hike and tennis session, so we were extremely hungry and ready for some food.
You can join the waitlist on yelp on the day of your visit, so make sure you do that when you are close to here! We were quickly seated within five minutes of arriving.
One part that I really appreciated was that the staff continually checked on us throughout our meal so that we could order more dishes. They also kept our waters full to the brim at all times! Customer service was perfect.
Now for the appetizers and side dishes. As soon as you sit down, you have a small variety of banchan (sides). You get a sweet soy sauce, a spicy Sambal sauce, and salt. You also get kimchi, spicy cucumber, and pickled radishes.
The dipping sauces were all perfect and exactly what I needed. Make sure to ask for a bottle of sesame oil! The real trick is pouring the sesame oil in the dipping container that has just salt. The sesame oil and salt combination is unbelievable.
The kimchi was great. Not too fermented, and the balance of sweet and spicy and tartness was in exact proportions. The spicy cucumber was fine and what we expected. My favorite however, was the pickled radishes. These were sweet and crunchy, and we ordered an extra bowl of those during our meal.
We ordered some other appetizers of plain rice, japchae (sweet potato noodles), garlic and japenos, lettuce wraps, and Korean fried chicken. The japchae was very flavorful and warm and filled with thinly sliced veggies. The Korean fried chicken was nicely fried pieces of dark meat covered in a sweet and spicy sauce. The freshly sliced garlic and jalapeños are excellent to throw on the grill throughout your meal to have a strong bite of flavor whenever you want to change it up.
We then get to the meats.
We started off with the prime boneless beef steak. This steak was pretty fast to cook after we cut it up, and it was so tender, fatty, and juicy. It didn’t need any dipping sauces, however we were able to nicely enjoy the different sauces with it.
Next came the beef brisket. This is a staple of any Korean barbecue experience. The beef brisket also had a good balance of fat and meat, and the way it cooks allows for a lot of sauce to cling to it when you dip it. It was excellent in a lettuce wrap with some pickled veggies and rice.
Next we ordered beef belly and pork belly. The pork belly was really fatty and melted in your mouth as you ate it. However, the real star of the entire meal was the beef belly. It had the same flavor as beef brisket, however this was much fattier and much more juicy! It barely requires any effort to eat it! I would order this on its own and be so happy.
We finished off our meats by ordering galbi (marinated short ribs) and beef bulgogi. Galbi was excellent - super tender and so much flavor from the marinade. The bulgogi also really nice, as the marinade denatured all of the proteins of the meat, allowing it to break apart with just the slightest touch.
The last item on their menu is called papico, which is like a chocolate ice cream that is inside a plastic container. It was really fun trying something I had never tried before, and this Korean chocolate ice cream was a fun experience. You have to try to bite the plastic container to get the ice cream.
The all you can eat option at this place is $31.99, or you can order items à la carte. Personally, the all you can eat option is the best value since you can have the most variety.
I absolutely love this Korean barbecue place, and it easily takes the number one spot for the several places I’ve been to here in Utah. Yes, this is not technically in Salt Lake City, rather in Midvale, however it is a short 15 minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City, and it is worth it.
Love me some Korean BBQ! Tried this place for lunch and was not disappointed.
The meats were marinated perfectly and the quality was rich for the beef. The sides Chop Chai, Kimchi, sprouts, etc. were all very fresh along with the lettuce wraps.
The 4 star is that they have a limited menu, not your full bore Korean restaurant. This is one of those where you "all you can eat" or do A la carte. We did a la carte and everything was fine just missing some of my favorites.
Also note portions like rice and lettuce wraps are huge!!
Service was excellent and with a smile. Our waiter knew everything about the food and made great suggestions.
Would I go back? Yes, the food and service was excellent!
I love this place! The meat tastes really good and other side dishes are yummy too. I would say that this is the best Korean BBQ in Utah. The only downside is that they don't have lettuce to eat with the meat. 쌈 없는 것 빼곤 다 좋아요 고기도 맛있어요
This is the best Korean BBQ in Utah so far, huge meat options to choose. It was kind of cool grilling your own food, staffs were so friendly and helpful, kept checking on customers multiple times. I meant all staffs, not only our own server.
All marinated meats were well seasoned without too salty or too sweet, only the ram-don was a bit of soggy. Overall, well worthy to experience the BBQ indoor, delicious and mouth watering.
Don’t forget to ask for a cup of lettuce which I used to wrap up my grilled meats. There will be more meat options coming soon, just check their website, price will be little bit higher.
Tip: always reserve a table on Yelp before coming, the waiting list was long, especially on weekend.
The door opens at 11:00am, the price is still slightly expensive, you can choose all you can eat or just order a few dishes, the taste is very good, basically it is authentic Korean barbecue, I recommend tasting No. 43 and No. 1, mine is the best Love
Well my review isn't going to be any different than everybody else's reviews. I didn't even take more than 2 pictures because I was too busy eating all the food. You can order an unlimited amount of meat but my favorite is the signature steak and the brisket! The brisket melts in your mouth and the signature steak eats like butter... it's so soft and juicy! Do yourself a favor and ask for lettuce wraps for your meat. That will help you get some veggies in but in reality you are there for the meat! Don't deny it! GET THERE AND EAT YOUR HEART OUT!
