    I ate there last weekend. I’ll start with the (only) bad thing: $15 drinks.

    That said, they were delicious $15 drinks, and Anthony at the bar was super cool.

    I’ve been looking forward to this opening, since I’m tired of driving north for KBBQ, and while good, Gyu Kaku isn’t the same thing.

    First, the meat is fantastic. The ribeye (in the pic) is better marbled than some I’ve been served in steakhouses. The marinated pork was great, and every single type of banchan was freaking delicious, as were all the sauces. The staff was on point (my waiter and I got to spend some time figuring out to pronounce Korean together), the manager Sai came by – after I was already stuffed – and dropped a delicious sampler of the surcharge-added premium meats.

    I forced myself to eat them because science and my momma didn’t raise me to waste food.

    This is by far the best Korean BBQ in town, and that’s discounting the fact that it’s 5 minutes from my house instead of 45 minutes…

    Is it all you can eat, or so they have different menu options? Couldn’t find any prices on their website.

    $50 for all you can eat is robbery. We have the most expensive kbbq prices in the state and the quality isn’t even up to par of Dallas/ Houston. The fact that all these influencers are promoting this as a fair price just makes this worse.

    Please don’t get a giant piece of unseasoned steak at Korean bbq 🙁

    But if you enjoyed it that is all that matters

    I went to check it out. It was very boring. Also the server kept coming over and moving our food around after we requested he just let us do it. Just let it sit and cook!

    Anyways, there was nothing overly bad, but nothing that enticed me to return.

    Everything was awesome when I went. So much space in there I dont think they will ever have a wait line. Wishing the best for them!

    I had this recently.
    It’s all you can eat setup only
    $30 lunch.
    $50 dinner.

    3 meats at a time (good portions)

    Banchan, veggies, noodles can be added as you wish.

    Great atmosphere, amazing services for sure.

    $50 is the breakpoint for me, if I return.
    I see all you can eat and I go straight seafod first.
    Spicy octopus was great. Cajun shrimp was lacking.
    For meats, all were very tasty, especially kalbi/short ribs.
    Pork belly can be skipped.

    I went on a weekday. The environment is better than honey pig but the waiter seemed very stressed. Lots of birthday dinner celebration for some reason.

    My experience was good until on the third round I found some string of plastic wrap mixed in the meat when grilling😣. I let the waiter know. I understand that they just opened for a few weeks and might still have some chaos in the kitchen. But want to put the word here so that people are careful with the meat.
