Chef JK Korean BBQ Master

"Chef JK changed my life. That was the best BBQ I have ever had in my life. I teared up after trying the bulgogi and chicken. The combo they have is an incredible introduction to the food. My girlfriend and I split one and there was an insane amount of food. Literally everything was delicious and we will be back. In the meantime I will be telling everyone I know about the place."

"Oh man what a hidden gem. Me qnd my wife loved the food. Our waitress started off a lil rough but she bounced back and delivered great service. Werold her its our first time here and would like a recommendation. She didn't disappoint when she recommended the group deal option A. All different meats and sides with the option to take your leftovers. We ate like kings and queens. Highly recommend this place. I actually rather this over a regular Korean bbq cause i don't want to cook my own food. They did amazing."

"The food was really good and the staff was friendly. It was a party of 6(4 adults, 2 kids). The variety of meat was great and my little one enjoyed the chicken and corn. I wish there was more room in the restaurant and I feel like the waitress should have informed us prior to ordering our meal that certain meats were not available when the combo stated it was an option. Other than that, everything was great. I did a to go order the very next day and it was just as good. I'd recommend this place."

"A cozy restaurant inside of a strip mall. The food was great and delicious, however it is a little expensive. We paid around $40 USD per person, for a rotating KBBQ platters of 7. Definitely if there were more people than our party of 6 it will be a lot more bang for your buck. Would come again"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this Korean BBQ. When I first arrived and saw it I was sure I was going to be disappointed. It is a Korean BBQ where they cook the food for you, and you can't cook it at your table. I normally don't like these kinds of restaurants, but we decided to stay. The food was very good, and served hot. The service was excellent and friendly, but the place itself is a bit depressing and really lowers your expectations. Overall it's a very good Korean BBQ. Prices seemed to be high, but the portions were plentiful."

"To preface, I'll note that my most recent visit was on Monday, 7/7/2025, around 5 pm. I ate alone, sitting near the back of the restaurant. When I left around 5:45, it was beginning to get just a little busier (there were still a few open tables as well as mine having just been wiped down). It was my choice to draw out my meal, not due to slow service. Overall, I rate this place as a 5-star because we've been going back for quite some time now. I've gone at lunch time to get a nice deal (meat, rice, soup, and a limited range of sides) but we usually go as a couple for a combo plate (several meats, rice, soup, full range of sides) or occasionally the AYCE. The staff has always been pleasant with us, whether they speak English fluently or not. We've never had an issue with seating, or found it unpleasant to sit at any of the tables. Yes, there is sometimes a wait because they can get BUSY and don't have a lot of room to work with -- we often don't bother on weekends (Fri/Sat) because we know they tend to be busier for those evenings -- but it's always been worth it for us. They did use a waiting list for a long time, but that's no longer something they do, so you just have to decide whether you'll wait outside or eat somewhere else. We've rarely chosen to leave. As some have mentioned in their reviews, this is NOT a place to cook your own food. I'm under the impression that this is due to county fire codes, not restaurant choice, but I could be wrong. It's never been an issue for us because the cooks get food out in a timely manner. For anyone considering the AYCE, please understand the listed price is PER PERSON at your table -- so if it says AYCE is $37, and you have 4 people at your table (even if not all will eat from the AYCE, even if some are ordering a different entree), then you will be charged 4x37 for an unlimited supply of meats (which you can order as you finish current portions) and full range of sides, one pot of soup, and unlimited rice... anything that is not included within the description of AYCE will be charged extra, so if you choose to get an appetizer or drinks (not water) or dessert then those will add up. Take time to read the menu, and ask the questions if needed. AYCE can be very worth it under the right circumstances, but we honestly opt for Combo A or B most often because it allows us to take home leftovers (and we do usually have a little left). Again, I say with full confidence that this is a 5-star rating for me. The only reason I give it a 4-star for atmosphere is because there are times when it's just too busy for me and the lack of space to spread out affects my personal enjoyment... that's a me thing, not a them thing, but it still affects my honest rating. My personal favorites are: Boneless Beef Cuts, Chicken Bulgogi, all the sides, Egg Souffle, Japchae, Soybean Paste Stew (with beef or tofu), Ginseng Infused Short Rib Soup... just to name a few. The photos I've attached are from 3 separate visits (one was obviously a take-out)."

"We are pretty familiar with Korean BBQ to the point my husband was stationed in Korea. It was very good, but not your typical idea of Korean BBQ. They cook everything and bring it to your table, no lettuce to wrap your meat in for eating, and the spices on the meat...well they could have used some on the beef and pork. They served cheese corn which neither of us had ever seen at a Korean restaurant before... interesting for sure. It was not bad just not what we were expecting. The kimchi was good although it could have been a bit spicier. That may be hard to do when people are not used to spice, so we get that. The service was excellent and everyone was very nice. Just needed to bring a little more Korea flavor to the table."
