I really enjoy Korean BBQ and have tried many places, but this one just wasn’t for me. The side dishes were very limited—cucumbers (okay), kimchi that wasn’t great, a potato dish with an unusual taste, rice, and salad. The meat portions were generous, but the flavor didn’t hit the mark. I also tried the noodles but couldn’t eat much. They only had the original soju, no flavors. On the bright side, the server was very nice, and honestly the best part of my meal was the Coke I ordered—it helped wash down the flavors. If you love Korean BBQ and don’t want to ruin the taste for yourself, I wouldn’t recommend this spot.
It used to be an inexpensive all you can eat Korean BBQ place with a small but good menu. Now it's a more expensive ayce k food place with a slightly expanded menu. But to me the quality of the meats have gone down hill. Service was fine only two wait staff. Went for lunch, ate my fill and left. The sides are good, relatively fresh and if you ask, they refill. Overall this place is just ok. For the current price there are better options out there.
The food is pretty delicious. It is also more interesting that you will cook the meat yourself on the built-in table grill. Prices are expensive, you will pay $24 for a serving of barbecue meat. Also, if you sit together at a large table and people sit down to you, then a plastic transparent partition will be placed between you, which does not help at all. The waiter rarely comes to the table. But in general, this place is always crowded, the interior is simple, the food is delicious although expensive. However, you get a lot of free sides as rice, kimchi, salad and many other dishes. I recommend!
This is definitely my favorite place of all times. They closed like a whole year during pandemic and we missed them so much but now they are back and improved. I’ve been coming here since 2015 and just love it. Servers really take care of you but Jose is the best! Jose makes us feel like home ☺️ so much that my son just now was like "I wish I could give them a five star review, if only I had Yelp" 😂 well here is your five star review and you have Dominick to thank for 👌
Great service. Good food. Fun very hands on. Cooking your food is rewarding you can order different meats 🍖. They have soju and Terra as well. Ayce baby!
First of all, this restaurant underwent a renovation and change of management which has made this place amazing now. The prior low reviews are all from 4-6 years ago. Come here for an amazing all you can eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ experience. The menu is limited to 6 items (beef brisket, beef belly, pork belly, beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, and spicy pork bulgogi). By having a small menu, they can keep prices very low (only $21.99 for a buffet as of March 2022)! The service was the first thing I noticed was exception. The servers checked on us several times and keep food flowing, banchan (side dishes) replenished, and waters topped off. The side dishes you can get are rice, rice noodle wraps, radish wraps, potato in a sweet sesame sauce, kimchi, spicy cucumber, and salad. We got the beef brisket, pork belly, and beef belly. The beef dishes were excellent. The meat was really tender and fresh, and the 3 dipping sauces of a sweet sauce, a spicy sambar, and a salt and sesame oil paired well with the beef. The meat had a good amount of fat on them as well which made it juicy. The pork belly was thick and so fatty that it melted in your mouth when you would eat it. Overall, this is an excellent, 5-star restaurant that has great service, great food, and a great price.
We were so sad when Furusato was closed at the beginning of the pandemic so super excited to find out it reopened! However, the receipt states that the store is "Ko Hyang Gal Bi" so not sure if there's a ownership change but they kept the Furusato name on the store since that's what the locals know it as..? Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 - most of their dishes would benefit from thinner and more consistent slices. Our order of beef brisket had some that were super chewy just because the slice was thicker and required longer cooking time than others. The beef belly was fairly consistent as was the pork belly. The galbi beef tasted mostly of soy sauce and oil but was missing the sweetness from the brown sugar. Both the rice paper and radish paper were oddly thick. The kimchi wasn't marinated enough Ambience: 5/5 - the remodel of the store did wonders and the grills have been updated as well for hotter fires Service: 5/5 - all the servers are really nice and attentive. They stop by to check on us as they walk past Value for price: 1/5 - while the price has almost doubled, the meat quality has not improved. Unfortunately, this was our favorite cheap BBQ place previously but now it doesn't meet the quality nor price expectations anymore 🙁
