Saturday night. Not very busy. At least 12 empty tables. Service was HORRENDOUS. When you charge full fare for an 8 year old to eat, your service should be full fare also. I can get past the fact that the server was, apparently, a trainee. But, when 3 different people pass my table and cant see that there are 3 empty water glasses, Im wondering what the problem is. And when the woman, that passed my table 3 times while the glasses were empty, and only stopped to turn down the fire (which only made for longer cook times), kept glaring at us, it only served to exacerbate the situation. The only time anyone showed a real urgency in getting to our table was when my son got fed up with waiting for water and went and got 2 pitchers and brought them to the table. Suddenly we had 3 people eager to see about us. And so all is clear, just 1 week earlier, we went to another restaurant 35 miles away, and spent $80 for 4 people. After a 2 hour wait Boiling Crab was stupendous. Phenomenal service and great food. For which we happily tipped 25%. Bottom line... $68 for crap service and marginally decent food. Last time Ill ever go there. I guess thats what I get for trying to patronize businesses in my neighborhood. Next time Ill just go to the place I like in Cerritos. Less expensive. Better service. And a FAR better experience. And Ive already told at least 5 people about the crappy experience. I will be telling more people. And if you are Belllko, you know exactly which 3 people were at your restaurant on Saturday night, 2/21/15. And you know why there was no tip left. Keep your preformed notions to yourself. YOU are the reason there was no tip. I FORGOT TO MENTION... The shears for cutting the meat were FILTHY!!!!! And when I asked for another pair, from the glaring broad, she came back with another pair that was even nastier. I guess dish water is in as short supply as drinking water.

Parking: There is a small lot on the side adjacent to Bellko, but when I went on a Thursday night at 7:30 PM the small lot was already really full. Me and my friend got really lucky cause we both found street parking right across. (Make sure to read the signs!) Food: (Had the following) Chicken Salad : Flavors were good, its just cooked chicken on top of a salad with sauce/dressing. Pork Tang Soo Yook: This was crispy and delicious. It came in a nice and plentiful tangy pineapple-y tart sauce that you mix and dip the dish with. Make your own KBBQ Tacos: One of my favorite parts of dining here! I freaking love tacos, and having the opportunity to make "brisket" tacos was incredibly delicious. It comes with a side of tortillas, salsas, sour cream, and shredded cabbage. (Highly recommend if you are a taco lover!) Cajun Shrimp with Chips: This was my most favorite dish out of all the things I tried here. The cajun spice had such a delicious kick! Make sure you can handle spicy food before you order this one. It went really well with the nacho chips that they give you on the side. Service: There is a "ding-dong" service bell here (like most korean restaurants) so, just push it when you need a server and they come to you asap. The location was easy to find and also it was pretty big inside, so it would be good for groups as well.

The guy was really nice but the lady had a terrible attitude, terrrrrible. She was annoyed when we asked her for stuff like more banchan, she didnt even take the salad or any plates to refill when she saw they were empty. The nice dude came over and told us it was last call for meat (first time Ive encountered that) we only had 1 round and were on our 2nd of meat. Also the sign says they close at 10:30 but it was 9:40 and we already felt rushed. At the end we found a bug in the macaroni salad, all she said was sorry. My friend asked if we had to pay the full price and she hesitated then said they would take the drink charge off....22$ was way too much for our experience.

I usually have a great experience here, but tonight was different. The server was nice, but she kept coming up to the table and saying "so no more meat right?". The first 2 times I politely said, "Ill let you know when we are ready". And she left with a little chuckle. When she came back a 3rd time with the same question, I felt rushed and the smirk on her face made us feel like we were eating too much at an "all you can eat" kbbq grill. We just wanted a few minutes to let the food settle to decide if we wanted more, but being pestered 3 times was highly annoying. I will change my rating, of course, if my next visit proves otherwise.

I went here with my mom. She is usually very picky about what she eats, so i was a little nervous if she would like it or not. Cindy, the lady who served us, was super nice and understanding. She spoiled my mom, letting her try several different things. My mom loved it so much, she made me promise to take her back. The food was amazing. The service was top notch, and we will definately be going back for more.

I like this place. Its a nice quiet atmosphere so you can actually enjoy your meal. If you need something you just gesture one of the waiters/waitress and they come right over. I like the fact that its close to home and there is no loud annoying music. We asked for more sides and no problem they were brought right over. Going there again ....

I really enjoyed this place, very clean and has a nice presentation. Staff was on point and quick to fulfill our requests. The only issue I had was that the pork belly had cartilage in it and it was a little tough to eat, everything else was great.

The food kept coming, and it is good quality for the neighborhood. Just wish the atmosphere was more lively. Thats about my only complaint.

I know these folks were trying but they were seriously understaffed. Service was so slow. Took a long time to get our order taken.

Their lunch deal is a bit weak and their dinner prices are a bit pricy.
