Zip Korean BBQ

Place is usually open with tables and been a few times! The prices are but more than average but I'd say worth the value! Went with the Premium because how can you not get Ribeye steak! So good and great options! The Kalbi Ribs were also a MUST choice! Most of the meat does need some salt with each bite for more flavor but still really good! Don't get the shrimp - just trust. Service was not the best tonight but usually they are pretty quick, busy night for sure! As far as side options - they don't have too many which is definitely a downside and you do have to be mindful of time since it's 1hr 30min. Great location as well for dessert options afterwards!What to get - Ribeye steak, Kalbi Ribs, Teriyaki Chicken, Cheese Corn, Dumplings, EXTRA SAUCEDefinitely still recommend! Great meat choices!

Great experience. Won't break the bank but still delivers on quality. The menu's got all the essentials--no beef tongue or super fancy cuts, but they nail the basics like pork belly, brisket, and chicken. Shoutout to Jack, the manager, who was super friendly and accommodating. Will return.

Came in on a Saturday and it was decently busy, understandable. . . However, food took long to come out and service was even slower. Took almost half an hour for my drink to be refilled, and almost another to get the check. Food was decent, but I would rather go somewhere cheaper and get my money's worth. Would come back here eventually, but hopefully under a different server.

We got the premium package and the selection was pretty good. Meat quality was good and some that were marinated were good as well. Only reason I gave this a 3 star is because of the service. Our server didn't seem inviting or even , forgot a lot of the things we asked for, gave us the wrong thing, 2/5 silverware+ sauce sets were given til we asked, forgot our water and tea, etc. I wouldn't want to come back

It's a pretty basic KBBQ AYCE restaurant. I like that it's conveniently located at The District. I'd give the server a shout out, he was the only one waiting on tables and was pretty efficient. The quality and price aren't quite there...even the higher end meats were just okay. There weren't very many options on the menu which was kind of surprising. We had 90 minutes to eat and cook our food.

Can confirm they have brought back AYCE! However, the AYCE option is now limited to a single "Premium" tier which comes with a few caveats.As explained by our server, there is a 90 minute time limit. They will let you know when your time is almost up so you can make a last call order.You can only order up to 3 plates of meat at a time per round. You have to finish all 3 plates before you can order more. I'm sure this is to avoid waste. However, in my experience they did let us order more meat while we were still working on the previous order. With respect to the premium meats, you can only order 1 of each type per person. So for example, if you have 2 people in your party, you can order up to 2 plates of boneless short rib. I don't mind this as I mostly found myself wanting more brisket than anything else which is not considered a premium option. Their brisket is very good quality and consistent. Not too fatty and not too lean.Overall, I'm okay with the new changes if it means AYCE is back. I think Zip's AYCE menu is the best in the area when considering cost and meat quality. Banchan options still leaves much to be desired though.

Alright Zip after making a terrible business decision to get rid of AYCE, I'm happy to say it's back on the menu! It is now a much more limited ayce option but your staples like beef tongue and marinated boneless short rib are on there. Crazy to see there was only two waiters working and running the food but I think the place is still trying to figure how to cut costs. Overall though I will gladly revert my review back to four stars and give props to where it's due for bringing back the ayce options. Check this place out if you need a good kbbq fix!

Hmmm Zip is okay. 6.8/10, not quite a 7I wanted to like it more because it's by the AMC we're always going to. I feel like it's a bit over priced, but everything tasted decent! I wasn't a fan of the corn cheese, and the ribeye quality was just average. The garlic sirloin was not the best quality either. TBH I miss when it was ayce. I think we should go back to ayce, Zip! Or at least let us have the option.

I came, I ate... and I think I just did myself in.

Decent! And I was surprised! First of all, the price for AYCE is great. The quality of meats are above average, however the sides choices are meager but still tasty. The place is a little small, and understaffed, but they all did so well servicing us and it's quite busy last night. We did all the beef cuts, and it was delicious. Again the quality is very very good. Will definitely come back!
