   Very accommodating service and good food. But the Karaoke is definitely the bomb! Worth every dollar.

   The manger of this place is not helpful and seems rude to his staff and his customers.

   The food was marinated well, but is entirely overpriced. We paid almost $400 for 6 people. The service was non-existent. So while the food tasted good, I will not be back.

   Not a great experience. Pretty expensive, which is to be expected for Korean BBQ. Minimal banchan and a lot of a la carte items, which I'm used to getting included with the meal, to boost the bill. No explanation or inquiry of comfort or familiarity with this type of dining. Not great ambiance and service left something to be desired.

   Bar attendance was flustered and body language was a turn off… Waitress was moving so fast couldn’t get a word in edgewise!! Literally had to complete request in several of her rounds to our table. Reaching over food to grab empty trays without even saying Parton my reach terrible!

    The lighting over the BBQ table made it very hard to see when the meat was done cooking. The food was good but expensive.

    Nice location … food was good but nothing that would blow you away. Service was definitely lacking and they missed /forgot my additional order for drinks. Still might be a place for future dinners, but won’t be the first “go to.”

    Food was very good. We made our reservation assuming the reservation service was for the barbecue table. That was our mistake. We drove an hour for the experience and were told when we got there the reservation was for the main menu. We just didn’t know being out of town. Tried to call to get a more accurate location since our GPS took us to a hotel parking lot. Hostess was very rude on the phone. Probably because it was really busy and we were asking an obvious question. The food we did get was delicious, they even let us get some of the meat that was on the BBQ menu.

    I am glad I tried it. The wings were great. We ordered the Beef Combo for $77. There wasn't much on the platter for the price paid. Overall the service left a lot to be desired. We had to ask for the same thing repeatedly and finally received it after the third ask. If you go, I recommend ordering two drinks at a time given the frequency of seeing your server.

    Showed up for reservation on time. Waited about 5 minutes to talk to someone. Then waited about 15 minutes for table. Manager was yelling across busy restaurant to direct us to our unseen table. Sat down and waited for 5-10 minutes with no service. Got up and left. Very busy and loud. Look to be significantly understaffed. Was looking forward to Korean BBQ.

    If you want delicious food with a different eating atmosphere…Mediocre service and overpriced drinks this is the place for you! The servers were very nice… But need to be able to explain their menu and the options better. It was great for a one time experience.

    Great food but the service was horrible. The visit before this was the same as well. My first time here was greeted with the hostess telling me my reservation was for 1....When I had the open table email showing 7. They got through it after making me sound like I'm lying but anyway, from there the servers didn't know ANYTHING about the menu. Even asked me what the korean name for the pork shoulder was. I said uhh? It says on your menu "pork shoulder". When our meats came out I asked which was which, and none of the servers knew. They had to go ask someone. Food tasted great! However, I asked at least 5 times for refills on drinks and sauce. Nobody ever brought them. Once most of our food was eaten, I asked for a 6th time and someone finally brought them. The main problem, I believe is that nobody is assigned to a table. They all just kind of ask you if you need something randomly and you're lucky if they ever bring what you asked. The first guy i asked for the sauce / refills brought them when our bill was already paid and our food was being boxed up.

    Bbq tables are amazing. Wonderful addition to the Grand Rapids area! The quality of meat is exceptional. Average meal is going to cost about $40+(without the tip) however, it’s totally worth every cent. I’ve gone with family as well as for a girls night out and it’s been an experience every time. Another plus is they take reservations as well! We’ll be trying the Karaoke rooms on our next outing (They are sound proof and reserved for private parties). Try them out! You won’t be disappointed!

    Food and service was great. I would say that we were to blame for the energized atmosphere. Four of us cooked our meals, had a couple of drinks and laughed-enjoying our company. Thank you for putting up with us.

    Service, the area, and the overall noise level was not bad. I think the Korean bbq could have had a bit more flavor. It also would’ve been great if the pan could have gone higher in temperature so that the thicker meets would have been able to cook faster. Overall though, we really enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back again.

    While the ambience was nice I think the karaoke rooms fell short. Not much of a selection and the visuals while singing were an uncomfortable distraction. I was not impressed.

    Overall we had a nice dinner. The portions for the BBQ were great and the wait staff was attentive. We had a reservation at 4 when they opened, we arrived only 10 minutes early and were asked to leave and come back because they weren't open yet, so that was a little off putting. They didn't even ask if we had a reservation or offer to let us sit in and wait, just leave. When we came back it was like they forgot we were here ten minutes ago. We ordered drinks when we were seated, but they came back and said it would be a wait for one of them because they had to run out to the store and get ingredients they ran out of. We may come back again because it is a fun food experience, but it won't be for the service.

    I ordered that dolsot bibimbap, my partner ordered the bulgogi, and we shared fried mandu and kimchi pajun. The dolsot bibimbap did not crisp on the bottom which was a little disappointing, but aside from that the food was amazing. The bulgogi was savory and sweet; the mandu crispy. The ambient music was a little on the loud side, making interactions with the waitstaff a little difficult.

    The private karaoke room was so fun and the drinks were delicious! It was a bummer that we couldn't split the check more than three ways but we made it work. Also I was under the impression that we had the room until 1:45, because its 2 hour minimum reservations and I was able to make a reservation for 11:45, however we had to be put when the building closed at 1. Still recommend for anyone who likes singing and karaoke but doesnt want to be in front of a bar full of strangers, or have to wait to sing again for other people to go.
