This place is just the best! You can either cook yourself or have them cook! Their meat and soups are delicious! Their cooking and their service is top notch! I definitely recommend their tofu soup, short ribs, and pot stickers. This is the BEST bbq place to come to! I just love this place!!!
Most people come by for the KBBQ but everyone should come during the summer for their cold noodles. They're perfectly chilled, flavorful, and tender. The service is great. The owner is always there and super funny. They make you feel like family when you eat there. I will always recommend this place to any of my family who come to town.
I’ve ordered from here once and attempted to order pick-up another time. The food is not the issue, it’s the customer service. Whoever is answering the phone needs to find another job. He is very rude and dismissive. If a customer wants to customize their order and it is allowed why laugh at them for doing so? I usually try to give a place a chance after a first bad impression. The second time though I choose not to continue my order.
Hands down, the best Korean restaurant in Norcal! If you're from Modesto like me, don't be fooled by the false misrepresentation of Korean food there. I commute to Seoul Soondubu to get my Korean fix. Bay area and Sacramento are the only other options for K-food but luckily Stockton has the best.
I wanted to come see what the trend was all about with this location…. so you KNOW i made the 30 minute drive in traffic from Tracy to try some AYCE Korean BBQ — in the middle of all this bustle! We were greeted by the family who ran the business some time after 6:00pm. It wasn’t too busy, so it was actually quite welcoming. He gave us the option to do regular Korean dining, or do the all-you-can-eat style. We opted for the all-you-can-eat, so we had to wait a teeny bit… but the wait wasn’t much of a wait to be quite fair. We were escorted to our tables, where they gave us the first few options to choose from… this is where the experience begins. Food: 5/5 They actually had quite a selection of meats and kitchen items! I love how they had English and Korean on their menu together… it made it feel like home. What stood out to me was the fact that the side dishes were already prepared for us and ready for us to dig in while we were waiting for our dishes to be served. I loved how you had the option to order three meats, alongside three kitchen items. Though not pictured, the portions of the meat weren’t actually a lot — they were enough to fill up our palate for each round they asked us for. The japchae and steamed eggs were probably by far the ones that really hit the spot, in terms of kitchen items. Meat wise, I’d recommend the pork jowl if you really want that CRISPINESS and bulgogi for that flavorful yet juicy tender texture of meat. 🥩 Service: 3/5 Okay, here’s what I didn’t like about the restaurant… so sit tight for this one. I had to dock two stars due to the following reasons: (1) We were rushed through the whole process. Though welcoming, the owner was quite dismissive — which it really lacked unprofessionalism. We were also told that we only had 90 minutes once we were sat… and they put immense pressure on the waitress who ONLY had been on the job for two days to take our order…. like GURL, give her a break first, she’s doing her best! (2) The prices were outrageous… almost $39 a person was enough to break my bank. On top of that, an 18% automatic gratuity was added on that…. I know that it’s easier on the people serving us since they should get more money, but seriously…. I almost ended up paying $98 out the door. No tip cuz y’all already did, smh 😒 Atmosphere: 4/5 I really liked how big the table was honestly — like it was enough to serve at least 6 people. It was only me and my partner, though, so that was a different kind of sight. I had to take a star off for the people that came in — it made it just feel like other groups of people are staring you down very occasionally. I’d come back again — their food is quite good. Just be prepared for the upcosts tsk tsk 🥱
