Stumbled upon this restaurant on a busy Friday night where all KBBQ restaurants have more than an hour wait.

Amazing KBBQ experience! We ordered Bibimbap and Combo B for 4 people, and it was the perfect amount of food! Service was wonderful, as they helped us grill all the beef. The bulgogi and marinated beef short rib were exceptional, and the soybean paste soup was so comforting!

Hands down one of the best Korean BBQ places. Expensive but worth it. Only place in SD that uses real charcoal. You’ll end up smelling like BBQ but definitely worth it.

Great spot. Korean barbecue over charcoal elevated to a whole another level. Just hits different! It’s nice because they cook for you at your table which means you actually get to eat.

Not a bad place, some tables have charcoal grills and others are just regular tables so I just got the bulgogi bento and dumplings. Pretty tasty. Would come again.

My first time at a Korean style BBQ. Went with a group of 8. The server was amazing, with perfect timing between courses, and providing all the explanation necessary for newbies. The food was delicious and fun (the 8-person meal package). The atmosphere was great: a semi private, well decorated room. I wouldn’t change a thing! Looking forward to bringing another party back there again soon!

The meat was delicious, and you could really taste the quality. Overall, food was delicious, truly. However, the waitress at the end, despite us giving a sizable tip for her ($30), had the AUDACITY to ask for a larger tip. She was being dead serious, too. It left a sour taste in my mouth. Honestly, although delicious, I feel it was overpriced as well. May come again when I feel like throwing away money.

This the the second time we come back. The “ajummas” are super sweet and attentive. They kept an eye on our foods so we didn’t burn it. The meets and all the side dishes are well seasoned and were delicious. The portion is just right for the number of people indicated on the menu. We prefer this to “all you can eat” places where we feel like we have to stuff our face to make it worth it. Will frequent!

Under-staffed, food was meh, sauces were meh, but the sides were good. Haven’t been to SD since 2016 and I used to go to Manna. I’m going to go check them out next. This place was certainly not one of the top 5 Korean BBQ places I’ve been. Not really set up for just one person either. $80 for two meats they could have easily given me half servings of and let me try 4 meats. Kind of just got the feeling they were shoveling people in and out as fast as possible. Sometimes I like the ladies putting the meat on the grill for me but this time I didn’t. I REALLY liked the bell though. That part is authentic. Waiting on my check for 15 min now…
