We love this place- close to the house and great selection of meat. The only thing I wish they had was the glass noodles

My boyfriend and I came here for our first Korean BBQ experience, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant had a great selection of meats, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The corn cheese was absolutely delicious--definitely a must-try! This place is perfect for a date night or just a fun dining experience. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend checking it out! The service was really good too. They were attentive and making sure we needed anything and cleaning our plates.

What we ordered: Premium selection w/ Mexican Coke & Sprite PROS: + Price is pretty competitive & by far the best deal for premium meats compared to other KBBQ places. + Meat quality is top notch. + Lettuce wraps. They have it upon request. + Whole garlic pieces. Yes, you can ask for it! + Complimentary mouthwash. Cute addition to the bathroom that makes them unique. + Customer service. Everyone was nice & accommodating. CONS: + Rice wraps were dry & stuck together. + Bathrooms were dirty. For me, I believe a clean bathroom represents the cleanliness of the restaurant. It's just those little things. Hands down, the BEST KBBQ we ever have by far as of 01/25.

Alright, alright alright. This is a regular spot for my family. We've come here so often that I've stopped counting and checking in. S E R V I C E The wait on Saturday can be long, Sunday is manageable (30-45 mins) and Tuesday (no wait). Getting on the Yelp wait list in advance helps, but the hard part is predicting how fast the line will go and getting there on time with a baby. The line is always faster than Yelp thinks it will be. The restaurant was gracious enough to call and we let them know we were already in the car on our way. The servers at this restaurant are mostly on their A game. Super fast service and they always change our bbq plate as soon as it looks ready. Our baby sat at the end of the table, and our servers make sure to cover the plate when they removed it or move our kid to the side, so it didn't hit the baby's head. There's a button at the table if you need to call for anything. F O O D We really like the brisket, short ribs, thin pork belly, and bacon with enoki, so the Deluxe menu works well. We've gotten the marinated meat a couple of time, but haven't enjoyed it more than our regular go to list. They also dropped off multiple plates of rice paper and bigger bowls of the banchan. The rice paper, which should be a staple everywhere, is perfect here. Yum! They have their fair share of sake and beer, but I like their pear juice and they don't serve it with ice. Perfect. A M B I E N C E Depending on where you're sitting, the music can be loud. A lot of people come here for birthday celebrations and family meals, so the place is always bussin'. P A R K I N G There's an abundance of parking in the parking lot. Truly, this place is one of the best in Oceanside and adding another review will only make them busier, but they deserve the patronage.

This was a fun experience. We got the premium all you can eat. I think it was around close to $40 per person. The meat and side dishes were yummy. Kimchi fried rice was good. It seemed like everything we ordered was good and hit the spot. The service was excellent. They kept coming to check on us and changing the grill to a new one. It was my sister's birthday weekend and they gave us free ice cream sandwiches. I would definitely go back when I visit Oceanside again. The ambiance was nice and comfy
