  I recently went here with a party of six and we ordered two set meals which were meant for four people. I was really excited because any concept of bbq I love. However, I was kind of let down that the portions were really small and not great quality either. (But take into a fact that we ordered for four people but had six so many I was just under fed) A huge plus thought is that unlike most korean bbq places, this place had high ceilings and fans so that I didnt smell when I walked out later on.

  My boyfriend and I have been wanting to go there since it opened. I made reservations last week for today. 6pm to 8pm must be the busiest times because on opentable I only had the choice between 530pm or 830pm. We opted for 530pm.Reservations are highly recommended unless you enjoy waiting in line.Being in Richmond, there was ample parking on the north side of the building. We had artived 15 mintues earlier but was asked to wait til our schedled time. In a split second we were seatef. Service staff were all friendly and attentive. Loved the high ceiling, table seating and atmosphere. We chose one of the platters for 2. Extremely tasty and was surprised how full we were and had room for dessert. We definitely will be back to try the other sharing platters. Way to go!!!

  came here during dinner and ordered what i usually ordered in other gyukaku location, the only reason why my friend love going to this place is the sauce that they marinate the meat with. it’s above average for sure and the food that we tasted is similar to other gyukaku places, definitely likeable but i like to explore new restaurants instead. mangkr.wordpress.com
