      2 hr max to dine on Sunday noon or any other day ? I am having 2nd thoughts. Your patrons need to chew, digest and savor your food. You are for real? Oh please!

      A:

      17.00 bucks for all you can eat korean bbq. Try honeypig2.0 in Monterey Park! Won't regret it :) it's just as good as gen if not better because of the lower price!

      Terrible service. Honestly, i have been to sooo many kbbqs. Im a regular at Wi next block down but i wanted to try something new. The lady practically would forget us and leave for 20+ mins. You only get a 90 min time limit. She kept forgetting sides. We went multiple times without sides. Im not a big person by all means but this is the first time i leave not full! Who leaves a kbbq not about to pass out!
      Do not come here. Its one of the pricier kbbqs with basic food. $350+ for a large party and we were unsatisfied.

      Pictures with us waiting on side... we never got...

      DO NOT EAT HERE!! They are infested with cocroaches. Gross! Yuck!! I complained, and the lady still charged us $50 automatic tip on our receipt. $50 tip for what?? I hope I don't get food poisoning.

      This place is a rip-off. You have been warned.

      I want to start off by saying that the actual price for a person $25.95 is not bad at all. Where they get you is with the fountain drinks, it costs $5.55. They also add this "dine-in service charge" which never seen in other places but assumed that's like a way to get a guaranteed tip. I just added an extra $5 for tip. The dinner for two & a drink was $74.23. The food was very delicious, the younger worker at times seemed like she didn't want to be there or seem annoyed when you would ask for stuff various time & from other reviews of this place it seems like she does that often. The parking situation can be very try as well but overall great place to get KBBQ as a last minute idea.

      Food was mediocre for the price but service was awful. When you just came in, they will welcome you and pay attention whenever you order. However, just after 45 mins, they started to ignore your call for more food even though we raised our hand and asked politely. We got kicked out after 1h30min because they said there's a time limit even though there are many empty tables and was very rude when we asked for just an extra portion of brisket before leaving. Never seen a place that automatically charged 18% service fee for a table of 4 and provided awful service. This was the first time we ever left an AYCE KBBQ with hungry stomach. We should have trusted other reviewers when they mention bad service. Not recommend and will never come back here

      Beware of the daughter. Always so rude and gets pissed if you ask for anything. Then takes 20 mins to bring anything. The fact that i drop so far for this B.s is very upsetting. Be aware of the service charge. So it won't be a surprise. Worse experience. If that place goes down it will be the daughter's fault.

      Been coming here for years and to be honest was a very good and affordable place, but the ambiance was very loud for the kids that were running around the general service has gone down, waitress seem annoyed to be asked for anything found myself apologizing for asking for a basic side ,the food was nothing to rave about very bland could literally name other place that I can go for better taste, but I could've gone all past that if wasn't for the "dine-in charges " that are apply to the bill at the end. No where is it advertise and just gives a bad taste aside from the bland meat.

      Located in Korea Town on Olympic. Serving you Korean bbq style cook it yourself. With many places I've tried, I left disappointed with the quality of the meat and service. The quality felt a bit on the low end. On the cheaper side if I have to be honest. The marinated meats felt to be lacking in flavor but the portion was bigger than others resturant. The sides basic, nothing special. The one thing I was very disappointed was the cheese corn. A small side that seemed mediocre. Hot corn with just melted cheese. Okay, not as special as you think. Huge selection of meats and a few seafood option but nowhere as good as other kbq restaurants.

      The service was quick however, the Latin man seemed to have been annoyed. Never did he check on us or ask us if we wanted more meats. We had to flag him down all the time. Asked for water, never was it brought until I had to repeat myself for the third time. Asked for sides, the body language of "really! Ugh" look came off. I understand few people may not know what tripe is but to question us with a look was not really necessary.

      Overall, 3 stars. Descent at a lower end of the spectrum, service not the best and overall this resturant could work on improving its decor, service and meat quality. If quality is not a problem, you will diffidently hit a bargain with the quantity of meat they give you.

      Came here a few nights ago with a large group and we were seated immediately. The price here is on point - $24.95 for all-you-can-eat. We didn't feel limited at all with the selection and everyone was able to get what they wanted.

      Highly recommend getting the kimchi fried rice - it's cooked traditionally in the stone pot and is super tasty - and the beef brisket. We ordered about 4 rounds of the brisket, it was THAT good (get it!!!). The marinated beef short rib was also a hit for us. The spicy chicken was decent - but beef is where they really shined!

      For sides: the corn cheese and salad are good additions and included with the price. Steamed egg was a unique(ish) side for KBBQ and this one was good, but a little salty. The banchan is OK, pretty standard but the kimchi was good. Definitely would come back!!!

      Been coming to Sanya for years because they were affordable, and today I went with a party of 3 that includes myself. It was $144 in total and we are still trying to figure out why. We made the calculation which was $25.95 each for 3, plus a pitcher that was $25, which totaled to about $102. Then we added a $5 Brisk drink and $3.75 which was a total of about $112. I noticed they automatically charge an 18% service fee, but still figuring out why it totaled to $144. Customer service was mediocre too, as the waitress kept lowering our gas without asking and we kept putting the gas up because the food wasn't cooking! Gotta be careful at these type of spots because they try to charge you extra if you don't notice, especially after we ate everything and didn't leave any leftovers smh it was not worth it!
