PLEASE READ: Good food, depending on timing wait can be long for dinner. Its a good atmosphere, even with kids. Been here several times before. Here is my issue. The management is greedy. These places where YOU cook the food yourself are also at higher price points to start with. Having dinner with my two little kids. My daughter had to go to the bathroom, so for safety reasons I cannot leave the younger one unattended. I tell the wait staff that we are not leaving, just using the restroom. I come back out and they have cleaned up more than half of my table. So at that point I dont know what they have or have not touched so they must clean it all up. They try to bring a whole new selection of small plates and out of respect I tell them there is no need, we already ate that it would be a waste. Please bring my daughters drinks and the meat dishes that that we had not finished. Then we spend the next 30 minutes to keep requesting missing items, napkins, utensils, tongs, basically after the incident the entire experience was just not good. The waiter says that they will take care of it. Then I get the bill and they charged us for EVERYTHING. No credit for any major inconvenience. I ask what about the fiasco that we just went through and they come back with 10% discount. 7 bucks, which is about the cost of a soda. Ah got it. So the management feels that in order to save 7 dollars they are willing to alienate a customer that typically spends over $100 there each time. Not only is that just bad math as a business owner. That is just poor people skills. GREEDY. Do Not reward a restaurant that treats families like this. There are other Korean BBQ restaurants. Choose them instead. Signed......Disgusted

There are two levels of AYCE: Level A ($25), which include a large variety of meats and appetizers, and B ($32), which includes the A level items plus some nice cuts of meat like steak. There is also a weekdays before 4pm special that is $18 and seems to include most of the level A items. Tried a bunch of different things: the cheese corn is a hot skillet with a single layer of canned corn and melted cheese on top, an interesting idea but I didnt find it that great, although I love melted cheese. The spicy ramen wasnt that far off from an instant ramen with a soy broth and some veggies thrown in. The kal bi short ribs are cut really thick and is really meaty. Great quality of meat but it is completely un-marinated, so the flavor is not really there. We tried a lot of the other meats but they are hard to distinguish so its hard to describe specifically here. There was one that was rolls of super-thinly sliced meat that cooked super fast, so fast that it was hard to get it off before it was dried to a crisp. Overall, I found that the marinated meats were tastier than the un-marinated ones (which seems to be the default unless an item says spicy) but thats my preference. I also love gochujang saunce and asked for it. Most other korean places have it in a squirt bottle they leave at your table. Here, it seemed like an unusual request. I had to ask 3 times before they could find some and they only brought a tiny sauce dish of it and another brown sauce, some sort of worchestershire sauce based mix. I wish they could bring a bottle, because I love sauces. The brown sauce was super good though. Overall, I enjoyed the meal at Blue House, but I think the kal bi should be marinated or give us a choice.

Ive never been to a Korean BBQ place, so I didnt know what to expect. What I found is phenomenal place to have a great meal. Our waiter asked us if it was our first time, and then proceeded to walk us through the all-you-can-eat menu, describing and recommending things for starting out. The food and drinks showed up very quickly and our waiter showed us how to grill the various types of meat and shrimp. The food is excellent, the place is very clean, and the service was top notch. It was great to hear the adult alternative playlist while eating. I guess I would have expected some plinky oriental style muzak like in a cheap chinese restaurant, but the tunes here set a great vibe and the volume was perfect, allowing you to have a normal conversation with your table, but loud enough it doesnt disappear into the background. Youll find yourself singing along while eating. We went on a Tuesday, which seemed perfect, not too dead, but not packed either. I could see this place gaining popularity and becoming very busy on the weekends. The hosts and waiters were very friendly and if you guys are reading this, you guys really knocked it out of the park with Blue House Korean BBQ. Something to be proud of...

I went with my mom and sister to the place, all was going well at first. The part that really upset me was my mom paid using her credit card and we tipped with cash 10 bucks, but they charged my mom an extra 20 bucks for a tip on the card. First and last time we will eat there, so if you still want to go pay only in cash. Also, my mom is allergic to shellfish and I let our waiter know. They give you like a whole bunch of appetizers and said there wasnt any shellfish in it , my mom tried a little bit and her tongue stared swelling someone, but thank God it wasnt enough to send her in a hospital, after my mom let them know our waiter, was like oh yeah the sauce is made with shrimp. When we asked her the first time she said of made sure, cause obviously she didnt know.

So good! Sarah comes up and checks on everyone during their meal and is so nice! I love the call buttons too because it takes less pressure off the waiters to come around as much but they still do! I never had an empty glass and they always made sure we had our orders in when the previous round was all on the grill. The kimchi is amazing as well. The best Ive had. My husband says its the best kimchi he has had stateside as well. I definitely reccomend the corn cheese if you like buttery sweet corn. We ordered it out of curiosity and ended up ordering another one before our meal was over. love this place!

맛 : ★★★★☆ 양 : ★★★★★ 친절도 : ★★★★★ 매움 : ★★★★★ 분위기 : ★★★★☆ 양이 많고 친절해서 좋았다. 밥을 아주 적당하게 물을 맞춰서 밥을 추가하게 된다. 그러나 육계장과 순두부찌개는 매워서 물 엄청 마셔야한다. 한식당과 바의 느낌을 섞어놓아 분위기도 굿!

Was going out for some fast food, and saw this place. My brain kicked in .... and a few u-turns later I was able to make the correct turn for the restaurant. I walked in not sure what I had gotten myself into and the waitress made sure I was comfortable. The waitress gave me some ideas of what she liked on the all-you-can-eat and kept the food coming at me letting me try different dishes. I was comfortable, enjoyed the food and had a great time. Totally worth the detour!
