1. You are seated and given the spiel. You then choose seasoned, raw meats and veggies which you will cook yourself over your tables personal wok. Dont panic! the muse of k-pop knows all and soon your confidence is bolstered by the upbeat hits that embody the spirit of one nation a world away from you. 2. The incredibly attentive staff keeps bringing you platter after platter. (literally like the Turkish delight scene in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) 3. If you become unnerved by the unusually friendly treatment, prompt service, and wizard fast drink refills, sit back and snack on the kimchi and pickled veggies which you have been ignoring until now. Dont worry! the staff is too polite to point out that they have been waiting to cleanse your palate since you sat down. 4. Ask for two orders of pork belly strips (Korean seasoned bacon sliced so thin it is transparent) 5. Speaking of transparency. Preemptively order another round of pork belly, and forgetting your former race, creed, or color; accept the wild thing you have become. Whos the good boy? Youre the good boy. 6. You will want to tip the server all of your money. Money has lost all relevance to you. What do the teachings of Adam Smith really amount to? Your first kiss, the smell of rain, popping bubble wrap as a youth... You have more than likely just finished your first perfect dining experience and must now resist internet stalking your server. Add overgenerous gratuity to the bill instead. Hyperbole aside. I sincerely thank the two guys serving the front room on Sunday 2/5/17. I hate that I cannot remember their names, but their efforts together with the owners brilliant idea of what a meal should be, have restored the faith of a very jaded diner (and long time restaurant employee) I cannot wait to be back.

Delicious place! The name may sound off-putting when you have no idea what Korean BBQ is..but this place it great! Essentially its a Korean buffet set up with the same idea of a fondue restaurant where you cook the food at your table. Dinner costs around $22 per person, you can order AS MUCH FOOD AS YOU WANT. Four items at a time, as soon as the food hits the table you can order up to four more items. Great for groups of 2-4. 6+ people kinds pushes it. Tables fit better for smaller groups. No dessert options. Fairly priced drinks. They have options for people who enjoy spicy food or not. Not a good choice for vegan/vegetarians.

Happy to see more variety in the area! I have always liked Korean BBQ and Im happy this place allows you to have the experience of cooking your own food like other authentic Korean BBQ places Ive been to. This place has good ventilation as I didnt come out smelling like what I ate! The staff are helpful and friendly, they try to answer and explain everything to you which is good as this is the first place like this Ive seen in this area. Only thing I saw was that they have many varieties of meat but its really just the same meats in different marinades. But they have a really good soju martini! Im hoping to go again soon!

Service wasnt very good. Servers seemed unsure of the menu/specials. Also, if youre here for a special that ends at 9, a good server would come by the table right before 9 and ask if you would like another bottle of wine, since the special is ending soon. We tried to order a bottle at 9:10 and were rudely told that the special was over (our original server had not even told us that it ended at 9). The food was decent, overall a cool experience if you havent done it before, you should try it. But maybe wait until this place has been open a little longer.

Its a fun place to go if you are hungry and want to waste a couple hours. Dont go with people you dont like. Or if you feel the person/people that are with you cant cook, just take the utensils before anyone else grabs them. The food is good and for less than twenty-five bucks, you cant beat it. If you dont know what youre doing, the waiter/waitresses are super helpful and friendly. If you are an alcoholic, they do have a bar. You may have to wait 10-15 minutes for a table. Thats not unreasonable. Its a fun atmosphere. Go try it out.

Awesome food and ambiance. Very nice take on Korean BBQ. As a All You Can Eat Buffet, food is delivered in groups of 4 different pieces of your choice at a time and you cook it yourself on a grill in the middle of the table. Great meats, delicious marinades and excellent sides. Try it and dont get discouraged by the "Korean" thing. Everybody will find something theyll like. Very unique experience. Staff is very nice and will assist you any way you need to make sure you get great experience.

Other than extreme potential for cross contamination...it was a great experience and the food was good, too! There is a lot of sharing, so dont go with anyone you dont know well, care for or whose personal hygiene is suspect! That being said... Would definitely recommend and go again!!! (Please take this review with a grain of salt, as I am a huge germaphobe...just pray over your food first!!!) Lol

The selection of food is great as well as the quality of meat. I would prefer to be given a knife to cut the raw meat before cooking instead of just a pair of scissors. I also feel that the staff were hovering a bit too much which made enjoying my company difficult. Overall, it was a good experience, but it will be saved for special occasions.

Killer killer killer Korean bbq experience for a relatively small town, let alone anywhere in the US honestly. This is on par with somewhere fancy in Korea. Bottomless ban-chan, like 30 different meats/soups on the menu (bottomless as well). Dinner/weekend is kinda pricey, but the quality and service make up for it. Loved it!

5 yrs living in Korea and eating Korean food in different cities in the US. This is among my top 3 I have had stateside. Very good cuts of meat. Professional courteous service and very knowledgeable about the foods. The menu is outrageous almost overwhelming with choices. Prices are reasonable for good authentic Korean food.

Paid $20 for chicken that I had to cook myself... meat came out raw. I have never experienced anything so strange. If I go to a restaurant its because I dont want to have to cook myself dinner. The spices on the meat were not even good. I couldve done a better job at home. Portion size is very skimpy.

First time at 167 and it rocked! My friends and I came in not knowing what to do at all, but our amazing waiter Thomas helped us! He was so polite, and SO COOL! We will definitely be coming back regularly thanks to him and his wonderful service!

The food was marinated perfectly, and if you have trouble cooking it, the wait staff is happy to help. At 9.99 for the basic option, its fairly affordable, too. We had a great time, and anytime we go to Auburn, well be sure to stop in.

The food and service were very good. The menu set up gives plenty of options. You can choose the basic buffet, medium, or premium, but it is a buffet, whatever you choose, and the quality is good.
