"Had a craving for KBBQ but sadly with KPot taking forever and AYCE KBBQ not being close by in Delaware, decided to check out this spot for our cravings! Stopped into the restaurant that I have drive past for a while now. Walking in you walk right into the dining room of the home looking restaurant. We were quickly sat in a nearby table with grill installed in it as we wanted to cook out meats tableside. There was odd lighting placement making some of the restaurant illuminated while others sat in semi dark spots; it 's not as dark as some candle lit restaurants but could use an update for us to enjoy all the crispy savor meats grilling at our table. We ordered the bulgogi and the samgyupsal our typical order; one with a marinade while the other a nice contrast with us able to enjoy the bean paste that was served with the meal that I hoarded to myself as I assumed my boyfriend wouldn 't want it. I was sadly mistaken as I was fighting over it by the end of the meal. The banchan served was fish cake, sweet potatoes, kimchi and cucumbers. The portions were filling for one person so it was whoever was quicker to grab what they wanted to grab. We didn 't ask for a second serving or even more rice out of the two portions we got with our meats because it was listed that it would be an extra charge. I sometimes get turned off when places limit you to one serving. By having more side dishes to enjoy, you 'll more likely to stay and socialize which leads to more eating and drinking but that 's what I think. We did order a steamed egg dish which is always a nice change up between the savory flavors of the meat and a boyfriend favorite! There was another larger party that was trying to figure out what they wanted to eat and was suggested to order one meat per person and with the portions that were served I can see why. Either find an AYCE or even opt to make it at home. With so many Asian grocery stores in Newark you are better setting up your own grill on a patio and doing it that way. The price to servings don 't fit well!"

"Well u get what u pay for. We decided to go with what was in the area and cheaper to experience some all you can eat Korean. The room is spacious and zagat rated.. they hadzagat for 2006, 2007, 2010-13 I figured it's worth a try.. Saw the three star rating and I knew that I shouldn't be overly excited. But seriously I was hungry. Upon coming it. Everything looked good. I grabbed some appetizer and sushi. The appetizers j tried were the dumplings, noodles and fried rice. They were ok. I am always skeptic of sushi because of freshness but I decided I would try a little. Yep, I had enough after 3 bites and my niece said she had a hair on her sushi. Eeeekkk!!! Not happy. She didn't even complain about it and just put it on the side. Too make matters worse I saw a gnat flying around the sushi bar. Oh my!!! I was so nervous. I figured the Korean BBQ will be ok because u cook it fresh. Once it was cooked I enjoyed it.. with the traditional lettuce wrap and gochujang sauce, bean sauce, and banchan sides. It wasn't bad, but I wish the banchan sides would be fresher. The dessert area had green tea cake, mocha cake, strawberry cake, fruits and cinnamon tea.. The cakes were good and I know the green tea cake had authentic green tea in it. Before I left I realized there was a ice cream machine to the side near the entrance. It isn't very visible to those who walk right pass it. My neice had a little bit before we left. They only had chocolate flavor. The bill wasn't so bad for me with the military discount. 10% discount. $13.99 for lunch..for regulars. but be aware of the drink. 3.25 for coke and 2.25 for kids juice and 7.99 for a 4 year old was a lot for my niece to pay!! I'd say it's ok for a cheapskate lunch and for people who are not particular about their food.. Will I come back again. Probably never."
