"Not recommended. Not the same quality as the Korean BBQ there before. Receipt shows BBQ 21. Listed on the various “Dining for Miles” sites at BBQ21. How we signage shows Mardang outside.Ordered Calamari Dumpling appetizers. Both were awful. Calamari was supposed to be in tempura batter but didn’t seem like it was. Not crispy. Dumplings weren’t good or crispy (they were fried, not steamed).They were out of Galbi. Ordered the spicy pork, bulgogi, and pork belly.Pork belly had no flavor bland. Bulgogi was good spicy pork was oily a but good.Reason for 1 star? Service was beyond awful and they weren’t even full.We were 4 adults 2 small children. Asked for a table with grill they said only available for 4 people. We pointed out that there was a Korean family with 6 at one of the tables they let us finally have it.As for all the accompaniments that come with Korean BBQ, small dishes of cabbage radish kimchi and when asked for more (there was literally 1 piece of radish left in the dish) the server said “you already have kimchi” yes, 1 piece of the 4 pieces that were brought out for 6 people.Asked for other items things weren’t brought out. For having 3 meat dishes 6 people, only 5 pieces of lettuce were brought out. Had to ask multiple times for more lettuce as they didn’t seem to want to bring it out. Never got the Diet Coke I ordered 2 times.When the bill came, they added a 20% gratuity when I argued about it, they said since we have 6 people, it’s automatic. I asked them to show me where it says that on the menu she said it’s there. I asked to be shown (if it was there, fine, I would have paid it). It wasn’t there. So I told her I’m not paying it. I still tipped (only about 10% as the service was just so bad in retrospect, I feel like they didn’t deserve a tip at all but I get that tips usually get shared amongst other staff).This restaurant might be under different management than before but it’s truly one of the worst Korean BBQ experiences I’ve had.The old place in this location was SO much better."

The restaurant boasts a lovely location and inviting atmosphere. The food is decent and would be a great choice for those new to Korean cuisine. Overall, I would rate the food 4 out of 5.

We had lunch here and absolutely loved it! I ordered the mul naengmyeon, while my partner got the galbi lunchbox. Both dishes exceeded our expectations, and the service was outstanding! We will definitely return!

All of their side dishes truly feel like proper dishes and not something they threw together just to make your table look more filled. The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is very befitting for a nice family dinner. The quality of the sushi has been too notch, as well as the BBQ.

The Korean food here is quite good, with a variety of options available. The atmosphere is pleasant as well. However, we had a bit of a problem when we called one evening to inquire about closing time; we were told they close at 10 PM. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 9:30, the restaurant was already closed. View menu

I've visited this restaurant a few times and have tried something different each time. From the bulgogi to daegoo mae un tang, daegu mom tong jjim, and bullak jeongol, every dish has been incredibly flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The atmosphere is inviting, the service is excellent, and the food is served quickly. Every dish has been consistently fresh and authentic. I would rate it a perfect 11 out of 10!

Wow… what a let down in quality of food served here. As it has been a while since i visited this place last, I had high hope when i visited for lunch. But the portion of food downsized significantly and quality declined. It seem the restaurant downsize the portion to save the cost, but the quality suffered. The typical side dishes smelled fishy and unable to eat if you know when they are. Not worth the money.

I was really disappointed with the quality of food during my recent visit. It had been a while since I last dined here, and I had high hopes for my lunch. However, I noticed that the portion sizes have decreased significantly, and the quality has declined as well. It seems like the restaurant is cutting back on portion sizes to save costs, but unfortunately, the quality has suffered. The typical side dishes had a fishy smell and were inedible. Overall, it just wasn't worth the money. View menu

I cannot recommend this place. The quality is not the same as it was when it was a Korean BBQ. The receipt reads BBQ 21, and it’s listed on various "Dining for Miles" sites under BBQ21, yet the signage outside says Mardang. We ordered the Calamari Dumplings as appetizers, and both were disappointing. The calamari, which was supposed to be in tempura batter, didn’t seem crispy at all. The dumplings were also unappetizing and not crispy either—they were fried instead of steamed. To add to our disappointment, they were out of Galbi. We ended up ordering spicy pork, bulgogi, and pork.

the only thing good about this restaurant is the servers were nice. My family and I eat Korean BBQ all the time. We ordered bulgogi and were asked if it be cooked in back or at the table we said at the table. The server brought it out already cooked (seems like it was old and cooked the day prior) and put it on the grill still infront of us for about 2 minutes which shocked us. The egg soup was disgusting and that is usually my favorite it was not even soup it was basically just a cold egg. They gave us a tiny bit of kimchi and sides that come with the bulgogi when we ordered a lot of food. The only good item I would say was the dumplings but everything else was cold and dry. Not a good expe...
