"Had a nice lunch and according to my son who recently was on Korea he was impressed as it was authentic.I found the staff nice and there was plenty of food."
"hubbie had tried ilsong garden & wanted to take me.we both enjoy korean bbq & have tried several places around town.we were a bit confused about the grill tables. apparently they are only available for all you can eat. some places let you order portions of meat & let you grill it.deciding we werent hungry enough for AYCE ($38), hubbie ordered hot stone pot bibimbap ($15) and i got the beef bulgogi ($24). we started with steamed yaki mandu ($8)- they also offer it deep fried or pan fried. they were very good, and i enjoyed them steamed as we usually get pan fried.muchim is almost more important to me than the meat! i love the radishes & cucumbers the most, followed by potatoes.i liked that the veggies are served as all you care to eat salad bar style. i like some radish or cucumber with each bite of bulgogi. so it was nice to serve myself.hubbie declared his meal delicious and mine was flavorful & tender. portions were very generous, im pretty sure myleftover bulgogi will feed us both! it was 7:00 on a sunday, so not too many people there, but service was fast & friendly.i did notice lunch specials were available during the week."
"I absolutely love the food here. Service was fast, especially when you have multiple servers. The place is a quiet dark little bar, but the food is so good. Drinks from the bar also very good. I will definitely go back and would recommend to anyone."
"Restaurant looks very nice inside. Much nicer than fast food, relaxed but nice enough to take a chill date. The server was immediately ready to help and the friendliness didn't decrease when I was just picking up instead of eating in. It wasn't packed so late at night, but the food was hot and delicious. I had the crispy chicken, both unsauced and with smoky mayo, ddukboki, and all three of the fried dough balls. My favorites were the smoky mayo and the cheesy ball. The regular chicken was still nicely spiced with a little heat but not much.. The ddukboki was delicious, but definitely spicy. I could only eat a little and my friend who is a huge fan of spicy Asian fare was sweating while he ate it. So the dough balls were good. But the real star was the smoky mayo chicken. I know, terrible name, but the smoky spicy hit from the peppers was fantastic and the touch of creaminess added by the "Mayo" was exactly what sent this into possibly the best chicken I've ever had. You don't taste actual mayo, it's just like they substituted mayo for butter in a buffalo wing sauce with better peppers and less vinegar. I do truly appreciate them being open late.. There will be many more trips in my future. Thank you from all the night shift workers. Excellent all over."

Este lugar es donde te dan la carne para que tú la cocines y también puedes obtenerla ya cocinada por el cocinero a tu mesa hay algunas carnes que las puedes repetir las veces que gustes menos las costillas de res esas solo una ronda y te dan como 3 costillas para dos personas, el costo es de 29.99 por persona y mínimo tienen que ser dos para que puedas obtener ese servicio de lo contrario son platos individuales al costo del menú , así que te recomiendo vallas con mucho apetito para que valga la pena el costo, el servicio no es muy bueno y el lugar es como una Market place, así que lo esperes nada elegante, pero el sabor de la comida está bueno, está cerca del centro de Aan Antonio y habrán de las 10 am hasta las 3 pm

A quick to go order for dinner consisting of a Stone Oak Roll, some gyoza, and a chicken yakimeshi.The Japanese rice (yakimeshi) with chicken was solidly made and tasted well beyond what I expected. Not greasy, quite flavorful, properly seasoned. Loved it and the portion was big enough for me to have leftovers.Next up the gyoza. Well prepared and well seasoned. Not too much nor too little.Finally the Stone Oak roll and I will be honest, I don't each sushi but my spouse seemed to enjoy it. She left nothing on her plate.I then asked, we've lived here for seven years now why haven't we eaten here more often? And I think it's because I didn't know that they had non-sushi foods.Now that I know- we will be back!

Great food. Great service. Very tasty and fresh. We will be back! The outside of the restaurant doesn't show the quality of the inside and the food. Please take a chance on it!

The serve yourself banchan is by far the best I've ever had. I usually don't care for kimchi, but there's has a fresh addictive flavor.I wasn't able to do the bbq because I was alone. But, I had the Galbi soup, and it was FANTASTIC! Service was wonderful and kind. The hours are my favorite part. It's hard to find good healthy food after I get off work. I give this place a 10/10.

I was contacted by someone from Pelicana to give them an opportunity to make up for the issues I had with my last order. I'm not one to turn down a free meal and I'm all about second chances. To start with, they get an extra star spending the time and making the effort to reach out and show concern for the reputation of their. business, food and staff. Kudos on that point .The food. I opted for Onion rings instead of the fries this time and they were probably some of the best I've had in a long time. The batter is good and they were perfectly fried and nice and hot (fresh).I ordered another bowl of steamed rice again as that was a major pain point with me the last time. While it still isn't the bealst I've ever had, it was at least hot and fluffy and fresh which I appreciated. Another star added back.I ordered the same chicken and it was fresh and hot like the last time, but I added another spicier flavor as well to try it out ( which I offered to pay for, but they refused and gave it to me with my replacement order. (Classy).The chicken was moist and delicious. I didn't have much of a complaint about the chicken in the last review other than I thought it could have been a little cruncher and spicier. This batch was great all around and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.I have to hand it to the staff, they were very polite and extremely professional. (Thanks Cheng and Mickey).I've include pics of this round of food.You can call it "buying back my loyalty" or "catering to me to change my review" ...So what? It worked. They asked for an opportunity tonshow they're better than what Inwrote the first time and they were right.

Okay, YUM! My sister took us to this Korean BBQ spot and I loved it! We all opted for the all-you-can basic option - but there was a premium option that came with three more meat options. First, the sides that come with everything were delicious; while I am not a huge kimchi fan, I did enjoy the radishes, potatoes, broccoli, and onions. Then, we were able to select up to three meats at a time - and they brought out HUGE portions. I honestly wish they were a bit smaller, so that we could try more of the other meat options (we were a bit scared off my the $20 "excessive leftover" charge listed on the menu). Everything also comes with rice, lettuce and a side salad. Overall, delicious, decently priced and attentive service!

Scrolling through UberEats and found out Cypress Cafe delivered to my area. SCORE! I placed an order for kimbap, kimchi fried rice and oi kimchi. Absolutely did not disappoint. The kimchi was perfectly spiced, the cucumber had that satisfying crunch, everything you look for in kimchi. The kimbap had pork added and it was heavenly. Perfect bite with a slight kick, already brushed with sesame oil and topped with sesame seeds. Kimchi fried rice. It was comforting, spicy, perfectly cooked. The egg was slightly over done but I blame that on the delivery time not the restaurant. Still, delicious. My only complaint is I'd have liked the spam to have been a little crispy. All in all, I'm sad that it took me so long to finally try this place. It was the most comforting Korean meal, like straight from a friend's eomma. I really can't wait to try the other dishes offered, especially the tteokbokki.

"This was my very first and still only KBBQ experience. We went for my birthday back in October. We were a table of 6, our grills were changed out frequently and our servers were friendly and informative.The space is ample and intimate, low key and casual. There's also private rooms for karaoke. We had such a great time, we stayed for almost 3 hours. I really enjoyed the spicy pork bulgogi.My biggest issue was the waitress overhearing our table saying it was my birthday, a couple minutes later she came by with shots for our whole table. It was a kind gesture meant to enhance our celebration but I later noticed they added it to all of our tabs even though no one requested/ordered the shots.Still shocked about that."
"I started frequenting this place when it was tucked into an HEB office on cypress street. It was a great hidden spot, with an awesome sit down lunch, for around $10. Total mom and pop place, where the appetizer pancake was slowly rolled out on a cart. I often wished they were open for dinner.I was a little scared when they moved, and glad to see them reopen.But it's not the same. A meal costs almost double, and the quaint little spot they had is replaced by one of those urban kitchens with 10 restaurants inside. The only option is togo. There's no cart. It's nice, and it's good for food that you take home to eat,, but it's lost some of the magic."
"Visited this place for the first time on a Saturday. I guess the first red flag we should've seen was that the service was going to be really delayed was how long it took them to sit us. We were probably standing by the front door for a good 5 to 7 minutes, just waiting to be seated. Overall, it only appeared that they had two servers and a manager that was walking around helping.Once they finally sat down, it took a good 10 minutes before anyone even approached our table just to give us menus. Finally a couple of minutes later the server came and took our drink order. We ordered two waters and a sweet tea. The waters were given to us immediately. However, the tea took a good 15-20 minutes. Since we saw them were really behind, we decided to order food from the kitchen and I think that in general was a mistake. We waited for our food for a good 45 minutes. Mind you we also had a toddler so this was not the best place to be at with such a long waiting time. Finally leave the server came and told us that the kitchen was really behind, so it was gonna take a little bit longer, but no one ever came to give us an explanation as to why they were taking so long until way later. When the food finally came, it was very delicious. However, the only thing I didn't like about my plate was that some of the meat had a lot of fat. We ordered other food as well, but I honestly did not think about taking pictures because we were already really hungry. I think we got there around 6:15 and did not leave until around 8:45 or so. It's nice how they have the cook your own food style there. However, the smoke can get bothersome so if you have any issues with smoke, I would not recommend this place because there's so much of it. The space is decent however everything is just so tight, but it's very hard to feel comfortable. I think if you do want to give this restaurant a shot I would go during the week when it may not be so busy and hopefully the service is a little bit better."
"A hole in the wall, but don't let that discourage you from trying the food and all its flavors! Small family business so go show your support. We came in and nobody else was there, so pretty quiet. We placed our order, and the food came soon after. I really enjoyed my food! Especially the dumplings ;they were bustting. Super juicy and now on my top 3 choices for dumplings. I really enjoyed my pork cutlet it was crunchy and the sauce on top was perfect! My plate was 10/10 big portions had to take some home! The SPICY nuggets are no joke they got some serious kick! Super good but super hot They have lots of options to drink from and some Korean drinks in the fridge.A very homie space And once we finished our meal and left all the ladies that were there told us goodbye"
"My wife and I really enjoy this restaurant's food. We have stopped in for lunch at least a dozen times. The beef bulgogi is so delicious. Although not on the lunch menu, my wife orders the beef bimbimbap from the dinner menu. Yes, it is a little pricey....but we'll worth it. Yum. Yum. Kam sa ham ni da."
"My girls and I stumbled on this place and were super satisfied. It was 3pm so it wasn't too crowded but the Korean Cowboy (who I recognized from when he was working at a restaurant on broadway) was SO FRIENDLY and made my kids feel extra special. It is under new ownership with a soft opening next month so I encourage everyone to give it a shot! Theyre going to be doing some remodeling but I honestly thought it was fine as is. For me it's about the service and the food & it was top tier. The protein was high quality and we enjoyed the sides. Will go again. My daughter (8yrs old) wants everyone to know that they gave them balloons when we left haha."
"First, our server was fantastic. She did a great job describing the menu and different flavors. Awesome 10/10 service.However, the reason we didn't give them 5 stars was because there was soooooo little meat on the wings. Scrawniest wings ever. The boneless chicken is definitely the way to go. The secret sauce was our favorite flavor, followed by the soy garlic. The Gangnam style tasted a little burnt. If/when we go back, which I want to for different flavors and to try the whole chicken pieces, we won't get bone in wings again.Environment wise, it was just LOUD in there. The music was too loud for the space. It was impossible to carry on a conversation with someone sitting across the table.I was disappointed they were out of both the potstickers and the kimchi fried rice. Maybe next time."
"A number of things I love about this place. The ambience, attentive service and the food! Owner Tommy is fantastic, kind and generous. Food is incredible! This place just opened up and it's guaranteed to be a local hot spot!! You can't go wrong coming here. Google has it at perfect 5 stars with almost 100 reviews. I can verify it earns every single star. My go to for Korean BBQ!"
