Clean, fast and friendly service, and definitely delicious. All the meats were very well marinated and tasted super fresh. The kalbi ribs were meaty, tender, and nicely marinated. Probably the best cut kalbi I've had and...that's says alot since most of my fav ayce places are In Cali and Vegas. They got a nice appetizer/dessert area...great for kids cuz you know they ain't interested in the hot pot and kbbq. Surprisingly the milk tea was very good...idk it had a nice light refreshing yet floral flavor...I'm not usually a milk tea person but i could definitely see my self ordering it every time if I do visit. Staff was so friendly gave our 2yr old a keychain bear since she was throwing a small fit. A revisit for sure.

This place is packed! And from what I was being told, it's always packed. But please don't let that steer you away from here! Check in on yelp before you leave, and see how long it takes. If you check in before you leave, you might get to the right on time, that's what we did! $30 for the grill and an extra $5 for the added hotpot. Although they are very busy, it felt like a party in there. The vibes were so awesome. They had K-POP going, the lights were unique but still very bright so you could see your food! The servers seem to all be very well trained. It was a great atmosphere. They offer a sauce bar, and there is also some sweets and random things there. Make sure to check that out. The hot pot was great! I got the spice tofu seafood. It was DELISH!!! It was not overly spicy, but enough to provide flavor. If you're a seafood lover like me, I def recommend that broth. The grill part was actually amazing. The meats and everything were so delish, perfectly cut, and never too much fat! They changed our grill out every 30 min. The food comes out VERY quickly! I got a painkiller for a drink, and it was okay. Not strong, but still tasty! Overall: this place is so worth the time, money, and the patient. Great experiences, plenty of food options, and very entertaining.

As for my first time here i can say everything was great food and friendly staff although it would be nice they would communicate better I told them it was my first time going and never had an experience with that kind of buffet before and I had to keep asking everyone how everything works anyways they had instructions on the wall I didn't even notice after I asked the third time I should had doing my research beforehand Anyways food is fresh and u can add your sauces of choice and condiments I love Taro tea and they had a big size for only like $10 which I think is super cheap Affordable prices They don't have many options for desserts I saw only like a cake/pastry and somehow chocolate balls I forgot to ask what they call it but I didn't like the flavor was just not traditional chocolate the people who was with me they didn't like it either They have a thing going on that they give away a beautiful stuffed bear on your birthday I heard the first shout and they sang a special song it was a fun experience

Our server Wes was super attentive and friendly! He explained the menu to as it was our first time here. He also checked on us often and made sure everything was good. This is one of the only Kbbq and Shabu places here in San Antonio besides Wild. It was $22 per person for the lunch menu and a $5 extra charge to do both shabu and kbbq. The quality of the meat was great and there was so much to choose from. Starting with the shabu, they had so many broths to choose from. I had the Korean spicy seafood. They have a good variety of meat and vegetables. The KBBQ meat was also well marinated and good quality! I also really enjoyed the sauce station! They also have fried foods and deserts to choose from. I had a great time here and I would recommend it to anyone visiting.

The food is really good and the sides/sauce bar are also really good. I think there is a good variety for both food and sauces which is nice. I would prefer the hot pot to the barbecue but that's just a personal preference. The reason for 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because sometimes I think the service is a hit or miss. Sometimes the workers are really nice and come around often to take orders while other times, we are left waiting for a while to order more or to get more water. The inside is very bright and loud and I love the bear mascot that comes out during birthdays.

Went here with friends total 8 adults and 3 little kids. We had the BBQ and hotpot dinner. The food was great compared to other Korean BBQ restaurant but the service we got is poor. Our server Mel and her assistant cant seem to handle big groups. They would take orders on one side of the table and not take orders on the other side which led the other side waiting. There is a 2 hour allotted time each table. Other side of the table got a better service and the other side didn't . The price of food is worth it when you get a good service.

Maybe I shouldn't be allowed here. I tend to burn everything to a crisp at home, and sure enough, our waitress brought out several new grills for me. But it was an amazing experience. Wonderful and patient waitress that explained the first time, amazing portions, variety like none other. The vibe is cool. My kpop fan kid was enjoying the scene and getting to explain things to me, such as the music videos and what a pot really is or what desserts I was eating. It's all you can eat, so order as you finish, otherwise you'll be stuffed and trying to finish that last piece before you leave.

One of the few places where you can get kbbq and hot pot in San Antonio. It's not the best, but enough to fulfill your bbq and hot pot craving. If you're planning to visit during peak times, try joining the yelp wait list while driving here to save some wait time. The restaurant is pretty loud with a great kpop Playlist and people there for special occasions or groups. Birthdays get special recognition and they'll come out to sing to you. My main reason to come is because I wanted hotpot and there's only 3 spots in San Antonio to go to. As this was my second time, I knew to strategies my meal by focusing on meats and veggies so I'm not getting full off of anything else. Afterwards, finishing off with some Shumai and noodles is the perfect recipe! I ordered the kpot special broth which is Mushroom based. It was kind of bland and I enjoyed the miso base or szechuan better. For bbq, I ordered a ribeye then different styles of pork belly and short Rib. A good spot to share cultural experiences with friends! Plus, they have really cute kpot bears through out the restaurant and on the employees.
