Kingkong Korean BBQ

The food is always magnificent. I go back time after time after time simply because I'm l craving it!Luckily there have been the same few servers there, they recognize everyone that comes consistently. They're friendly, efficient and really good about noticing if a sake bottle is empty or all the raw meat has been cleared.It's warm, but everyone is cooking at their table. Pretty loud, not a lot of privacy. Family friendly. Well lit, and their bathrooms are always clean!

We didn't go for AYCE, with two teenage girls, a grandma and spouse, no chance AYCE will have much value although variety of choice would be nice.We instead ordered some staples, walked out paying about $80 and had leftovers.On an early quiet Friday afternoon they weren't busy and food came out fairly fast.I'd come back not for the AYCE and just order a entrees again. Although with same male friends I'm sure we can eat back a decent amount of the buffet price :)The owner even came out, greeted us and asked how things were. RARE for a K establishment...

If you plan on going on a Saturday, come before 5 pm. By the time we left 5:30 ish there was a line for tables. Let me set the scene. We got there and there was one other table waiting for the rest of their party and 2 tables leaving. We placed our drink and food order at the same time. As the waiter left the table across from us got sat. He disappeared for a bit, took the order of those across from us, and gone again. It wasn't long when he came back with food, but it was not what had ordered. He had dropped it and ran before we could say anything. Then tables started to fill up and he pretty much ignored us. The second waiter was very sweet and helped us to get those drinks that never got, a fork that was asked for in the beginning as well, and our second order of meat later. She was amazing!The sides were all great, though a bit small servicings. The salad was good and fresh. We found all unmarinated red meats were very good. Nice cuts, good flavor. The bulgogi wasn't bad, just that same flavor as you'd get from a store bought marinate. One of the meats we didn't order, a marinated, I think pork loin soaked in some sort of alcohol was interesting. Cooked it tasted like bread. Lastly, the teriyaki chicken was very good. The food is good, and the place is clean with the standard Korean BBQ vibe. I will say there are no fans for the smoke, and I did smell like a campfire after. It's not my new bbq spot, but it's still good.

Just love this place. The service was great. They were attentive, quick, and didn't give hassle about anything. Also the quality of the food was good for AYCE. The place was busy but not too busy so it was lively even for a Wednesday night. Will come back for sure!

30 bucks for the standard bbq. Meat was mediocre. Salad banchan and soup were decent. Left full but unsatisfied

Used to be our go to place for KBBQ, went yesterday around 4:30pm. It took over 15 mins to cook thin sliced beef due to heat too low. Heat was turned up, only to have it turned back down by the staff. We ordered twice before we decided to leave due to the meat taking forever to cook (1 hour).I felt a little disappointed, I noticed that the other tables got all the side dishes including their salad. We didn't get any salad so I asked for one (while the other tables were asked if they wanted extra)...I'm still waiting.

My go-to AYCE Kbbq. Simply because the price is affordable for how much you can get out of it. The owner is super nice and friendly. The waitresses are always patience and try their best to help you when you need. They always give you a good portion of meats. Although some meats are really fatty for me like the briskets. Personally, I think Kingkong has the best marination and flavors compared to other Ayce Kbbq. Definitely worth it for the bucks!

I am updating my review after dining here again recently a few days ago. Family member had a craving for Kbbq and we came here as it is very local and pricing is affordable and competitive to other nearby AYCE kbbq or just Kbbq places.No changes in pricing or menu compared to last month. Staff deserves so much more appraisal than they are receiving. The ladies that serves the tables and register are fantastic. Younger female with short brown hair and blonde highlights - super patient and very nice and excellent customer care when she takes your order and brings items to you and even when you forget and ask her right there and then, she smiles and answers in a very gentle voice! She thanks you in return each time, just makes your dinning experience so WHOLESOME and feel homely. The lady that runs the register - we didn't encounter much until the end, I had a freak accident where a piece of the jalapeño fresh off the grill fell off my chopsticks and onto my thighs and danced between the two before falling on the ground - yes i might have screamed a bit out of pain and shock. She came right over to me to ask if I was ok, she didn't see right away that it was something from the grill that I dropped, she thought it was oil splatter from the meat cooking. I asked for ice but she came back with burning relief gel!! SUPER ATTENTIVE AND OBSERVANT. She waited until I applied the gel and then even when she walked away she was still concern about me and watched over her shoulder a few times in case i need something else. Again made me feel so homely and I was so well taken care of even though it was my own fault. 3rd lady, I really think she's awesome and we've seen her before and I know her only by her face mask- it's one of those homemade fabric pink ones. She's the only one that wore a pink mask. She never rushed us to get food off the grill when we have to change and she was super nice and told us to eat slowly and take our time, we have a lot of time before closing. Super nice and speaks gently, again made me feel so homely. Pricing here - very competitive and affordable. Side dishes always can ask for refill and our table of 4, we asked for two sets of ban chan - server lady said no problem. We asked for 4 sets of extra sesame oil, ssamjang and garlic and jalapeño peppers, she came and returned and got us extra too! Refilled our waters and salads (first bowl the kitchen forgot to add dressing but the second bowl was chilled and tasted very fresh and yummy). Quality of meat is good and portion size is plenty for 4 people and all the staff are so helpful and attentive. Granted we came on an evening around 8pm and not on a weekend, still they have excellent customer service. All in all those 3 ladies are pearls to keeping this place running smoothly and making your dining experience worth near 100%.

DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE!Worst service ever!!!Coming to this place we were excited and hungry!They did not explain to us why they weren't serving us, did not let us use one of the 2 table top grills, did not let us order the items we wanted on our table. Refused to get the owner on the phone so I could talk to them about their customer service.The other boy rudely walked way when trying to talk to him.Our family has been to many Korean bbq restaurants as we love and enjoy this type of restaurant. Never ever had we encountered any type of service as this!This place should be shut down.

The food is good but the place is understaffed. They were trying their best to make everyone happy though. The bulgogi was on point but the thin slice chadot was different than other sauce places I would go again
