Attentive service, this is a place where they cook everything for you. If you are looking for an experience to do the grilling yourself, this is not it. Good amount of selections and good flavor on the meat. They do a good job cooking for you. I could use more choices on the sauce. Their soju cocktails were pretty good. Overall it was good. They also have a 2 hr time limit which is rare for ayce. A big plus!

We went for lunch and there was no wait. It was our first KBBQ experience and it was delicious. Our waitress helped take our order and cook it for us on the cast iron tabletop grill. She made sure everything was cooked thoroughly and we appreciated that. Recommend everything that is noted as marinated or spicy. Highly recommend the steamed egg and also the limited time crab soup -- absolutely delicious. The plain beef brisket was tasteless and you have to use the provided sauce to manage eating it.

Easily the best k-bbq in queens. They are always very active and cooking for you and the meat like the bulgogi and cast iron steak are heavenly! It is so juicy and tender and clearly seasoned/marinated amazingly. Tried all the beef options (steaks) and the rice was also delicious. Pork belly was also good (recommend spicy pork belly). Ate around 1 4 rounds, (each round 3 meats). Left so full I couldn’t even walk. Easily one of the best foods I ate in a while. Wonderful cook Frank and polite. Definitely coming back soon.

We went for the AYCE lunch and besides them not offering beef Kalbi, I have no complaints. Many places don't even offer beef Bulgogi at AYCE....
The restaurant was pretty empty and quiet at that time and our server was friendly and attentive. 
We ordered the beef brisket, beef bulgogi, spicy pork, and pork ribs. The meats were all marinated so well, so flavorful. The only meat that wasn't marinated was the brisket and it was a delicious pairing dipped in either the truffle salt or bean sauce. I also really enjoyed their house salad. The salad dressing was really good, however, it could've used more acidity since we weren't served any marinated scallion. (I was missing that sour, spicy bite) 
We also ordered the fried dumplings, kimchi fried dumplings, fried tofu (don't bother wasting the stomach space), steamed egg, and crabmeat stew. The crabmeat stew was spectacular!! If only I hadn't ordered two steamed eggs, I would have space for another crab stew. I did ask how big the steamed egg was and our server said not too big and made a circle with his hands...they were regular sized. Oh well, next time. Unfortunately, the menu says it's a seasonal item, so I will definitely call to see if it's on the menu before I go back. And I will definitely be going back. New post- 6/3/25: My only complaint before would’ve been the servings of meat were way too big, making us unable to order multiple meats. However, they have finally reduced the size of the meat plates. This is great! We can order more variety. The service is friendly and efficient and the meats were marinated well. However, I did appreciate the non-marinated brisket since I really enjoy the truffle salt and bean dipping sauce. The best thing there is still that crab stew. I had myself two servings this time. Their house salad is really great as well, love that dressing. We had two servings of that as well. Great lunch!

K-pop demon hunters got us here. It was better than I expected. We ate bulgogi beer and some juicy chicken. And spicy shrimp. Was empty on a Sunday afternoon. I think I should have paced myself better because I was super full in about 30 minutes. Nice music too.
