Wow! The delicious smells hit you coming in the door. This will be a regular stop when I visit Greenville. My server was helpful making choices and you would not believe the quality and quantity of food. Just go.
Get the Japchae! Glass noodles, sliced beef and veggies in a soy based sauce is enough for 2 or for lunch, dinner the next day. It's on the appetizer menu and it's only $12!
Wow! If you love Korean bbq, this is your place. Service is great, very attentive and quickly take your order. Came with two other families and they were able to accommodate all 12 of us easily. Food is delicious and I would definitely one back again.
This was our first time here and it did not disappoint. We got the lunch deal for all you can eat and everything was so flavorful. We definitely left full and satisfied.
Get the lunch special! You get to pick an entree and a meat for $16-$18, which I think is worth it. Good portion sizes and complimentary banchan. I wish the side dishes were more flavorful/spicy. The chimichurri sauce was really good.
The food was amazing. I got the all you can eat and it was at more then I could eat. I will come back next time I'm in Greenville.
I'm originally from south Florida where there's a plethora of great Korean food so I was hesitant to go here. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and there was only one other table. This restaurant is different from other kbbq, you order your meat and they cook it for you which is great for those who don't like having to cook your own food. A typical Korean bbq restaurant there's a grill on every table and you cook your own meat. With the all you can eat option you eat unlimited meat, side dishes, rice, cheesy corn and soup! Everything came out piping hot and fast. The side dishes were super tasty my favorite was the bean sprouts. Service was super fast. Restaurant is very clean has nice kpop music playing in the back. It ended up being around $50 a person with a soft a drink. I can't wait to come back here!
Happy to report that a legit K-BBQ option finally landed here in GVL. This is a place you'll see actual Koreans come and frequent, because it's closer in flavor and quality you'll find in an ATL establishment. Ambiance: First thing you'll notice after you find the place, is that the interior is thoughtful, cozy and noticeably more polished than your standard GVL korean place. The KPOP music in the background sets a youthful vibe to an otherwise firmly traditional korean fare. An up-to-date playlist was playing, if that's your thing. Service: Service was great at our time there, which was during lunch. The Korean lady that sat us down was nice and the server who attended to our table was super nice. They were smart to skip the cook it yourself model you'll find in most places. People in the know what to do, but, more often than not in a city like GVL, cooking your own food wont lead to the best experience nor taste. Our lunch time experience only had 5 tables filled and our food came out fast. Food: We ate the lunch All you can eat for $30/person. As with most Korean places, you are presented with your Banchan (side dishes). We were pleasantly surprised that the Sweet cheesy corn was included. We selected a set of three meats (all beef to start) to the server and in a few minutes, a sizzling plate of meat came to us with a pleasant waft of BBQ goodness. As great as it smelled, most of the time, Korean places are either too mom and pop and not very good... or too over the top in their assumption that a more American audience will like things sweeter (which TBH, they do), and overdo the sweetness. This place manages to keep the flavors close what authentic K-BBQ should taste like: quality meat with the flair of a big city joint, and without overdoing things that would turn off Korean traditionalists. It was so good that... it made me think, oh, this place needs to do well so it's around as a staple in the GVL community. Value: This is the best part. My wife and I left FULL after two rounds. The food was quality, the experience was big city good and the bill came in under $70 bucks! Just a couple months ago, we spent over $200 at Texas de Brazil across the street and while we enjoyed it, we ultimately left thinking "well, it was good but was it $220 good?" We left JK feeling as satisfied as TDB, but without crying wallet. Ya'll, we finally got a legit one here in GVL. Let's keep it here!
