The fresh meats were delicious, especially the thin beef slices. The beef alone is already value for your money if you get a significant amount. Their ssamjang tasted really good. The vegetables were fresh. The buffet selection was very small and the food was cold, they did not keep the serving trays warm. The spicy squid did not taste fresh, the chicken wings and chicken fillet were just too cold to enjoy. The beef bulgogi was delicious albeit cold, the vegetable pancake was delicious but hard. We did not try the shabu shabu, so I have no feedback about it. To set expectations, it's best to focus on the samgyupsal part (or the shabu shabu if you're into that), bec their buffet spread just seems like an after thought. Nonetheless, the fresh meats were really good. Caution: The floor is very slippery so walk cautiously. They do clean it often, but be careful nonetheless.

Above average meal. All dishes were fresh. Buffet items were mostly cold though. The veggies were very fresh. They didn’t replace the sushi quickly enough. Staff was excellent. Very courteous, professional and hard working. They were usually quick to help us. Overall, I think the price point was higher than it should be for the quality of food. But we will keep coming back. Location in Korea Town is excellent.

Good food and service. The staff and the korean owners (i think) treated us well. Just hoping that they could refill the buffet table faster. But overall, it's a must try.
