Okay, folks, listen up. I'm in a committed relationship. And no, it's not with another person (sorry, humanity). It's with food. And let me tell you, this love affair is intense. The kind of love that makes you want to write love letters... or at least tweet about it.You ever bite into something so good that it feels like a warm hug for your soul? That's the level of love I'm talking about. It's the kind of food that makes you look at your plate and say, "I don't deserve you, but I'll eat you anyway." I'm talking about the crispy, golden fries that are so perfect, they deserve a standing ovation. Or the sandwich that's so stacked, it might need its own zip code.But let's be real, this relationship is not always glamorous. Sometimes, I stare at the pizza like, "Are we in this for the long haul? Or is this just a one-night-stand kind of deal?" Spoiler alert: It's always the long haul. Because food knows how to treat me right. It's like, "You want extra cheese? You got it. Extra sauce? No problem." Food gets me.And don't even get me started on dessert. When that chocolate cake arrives at the table, it's like Cupid himself shot an arrow right through my heart. Is it too much to say that I want to marry a slice of cheesecake? Probably. But that's how good it is.In conclusion, food and I are in a deep, unshakeable bond. I may not have all the answers in life, but I know one thing for sure: food is my true love, and I'm 100% here for it. We're going steady, and I'm never breaking up with it.

I'm wavering between 3.5 and 4 stars. The food is good! Really satisfies the desire for Korean food. But the all-you-can-eat is a bit confusing. Each person orders it, which is fine, but then we're offered 4oz or 8oz portions of the meats. After almost being charged extra for not eating all of our food, I guess you should only order 4oz portions at a time especially if it's a small party. The extra charge thing is a turn-off. It was nice that our server didn't end up charging us, but that was only after saying he'd have to if we didn't eat more. Then I'm sitting there trying to eat more and he comes back and says he won't force that on us. Why can't we just take home our table leftovers??! We paid for it, and you don't want waste.So, just know this about it before you go in so expectations are set.

Decided to come here for early Valentine's Day dinner since everybody has a busy schedule this week and trying to avoid the busy crowds on Friday. Parking was perfect and plentiful. Stopped by my favorite Boba place next-door at Mrs Suki's. Had an enjoyable conversation and was seated immediately with no wait. It was Super Bowl Sunday We really love the original Sa ri on Cypress for Korean dishes. For some reason, I thought this place had hot pot as well , but it only has Korean barbecue. There are two pricing packages $25 or $35. Which ever package one person at the table chooses ,the rest are required to purchase. KIND of makes sense to avoid food sharing however as we upgraded to the more expensive package one of the meats was not available. I believe it was steak. Yet we didn't ask for a discount. The salad bar was subpar . Offerings are oranges watermelon cold shrimp fried rice, some salads and some soups . To be honest, I find this Korean barbecue place unsatisfactory and ordinary. The good meats they only bring out in tiny portions. But for example, the meat that had a ton of fat and tasted horrible. We got a mound of, so of course we couldn't finish the plate as nobody enjoyed it . They won't let you try more than three meets at a time, even if you have a table of four. And when we left, he said he was supposed to charge us for any unfinished food. in short, I think we will stick to our usual hot pot places with a handful on Fowler Ave., which offers more of a selection on the salad bar. The quality of the meat here is sub standard and the service was just OK. Lastly, I honestly feel bad for disclosing this, but I take my health very seriously . We know that this neighborhood flooded during the hurricanes and nothing was remodeled or replaced including the wooden booths. I have Town & Country homes that flooded and we have had to rip out drywall in kitchens because they will grow mold once exposed to standing water . There is no way to remediate it correctly with chemicals or air filters . I have terrible mold allergies and have had a massive headache and horrible runny nose since visiting this establishment. Yet I somehow avoided all colds and flu during the winter, even with sick kids in the home.

We came here multiple times in the past and it was always decent. It's hard to find a good Korean place in Tampa, so it used to be ok for some Korean cravings. We haven't been here for a few months and we were extremely disappointed this time. I would never come back again. Service was absolutely terrible. It was never great but this time was horrendous. And it's ok to have not amazing service if you don't charge much for your food but their prices are not cheap at all, so if you charge this amount of money, you should have a decent service. Also the receipt when you get has an option for tip 18% or 20% or 25% like in some upscale restaurant. Not sure who will give 25% for this service, it's laughable. Ambience is decent, nothing special as it used to be. However in the past, bad service and semi decent ambience was tolerable because the food was good. About food: they changed the menu, so the items that we used to order are no longer there. The only hot pot they have is with beef, so if you don't eat beef, you cannot get a hot pot. At least that's what I understood from the waitress. Menu is super confusing. I ordered squid with vegetables and received a huge plate with onions and a few tiny pieces of a squid for $20+ for one portion. I was very confused why it is called "vegetables" and they just give you a pound of undercooked onions ... not sure who can eat that. Waitress came to ask if I need a to go box and I said "no, because it is just onions, I am not sure what this meal is about". She told "squid is very expensive, so we cannot give much of it". And she left. So basically I paid $20+ dollars for a pound of onions. I am honestly confused why they put squid in the menu if they give a tiny piece of it, that's just a rip off. Overall terrible experience, will not come back again. They need to make a decent menu, hire new service staff or maybe pay current staff more, so they are nicer.

Really cute place! It's very easy to find in the plaza and the food tastes really well! The only thing I was not happy with is that the service was extremely soon and the restroom was gross

As of May 24, 2024 this place now has all you can eat kbbq as an option. They just started it up again. It's not worth it. It's $40 for their premium menu and it still doesn't have LA Galbi. Don't forget the mandatory 18% for service. The kimchi side dishes you have to get yourself and aren't really all that good. The chicken cuts of meat are... The weird cuts of chicken and they taste weird even through all their marinade.The more I think about it the more annoyed I get at this sub par kbbq spot. Sure, there are sides and a salad bar but they're not even average for the most part. They had a section for chicken tempura which was more like soggy doughy chicken? Shrimp fried rice but no white rice? I ordered things from the menu and some were marinated and when I ordered it again, then they weren't marinated.Some of the menu items were good but for what you're paying, this place is not up to a good quality standard.

This place is a fantastic experience! I've been here twice. Once on a first date and once with my lady and my kids and both experiences were unforgettable!The place itself has nice decor and the atmosphere is always pleasant. The staff has always been friendly and very helpful. I've never had to go wait to be sat down.The food is phenomenal and the experience of grilling it yourself and eating it in multiple ways and combinations is straight up FUN! This second time, we ordered seafood noodles and a rice dish for the table. Also got some dumplings. Can't think of any part of it that wasn't perfectly seasoned and flavored. Just a hit across the board!I will 100% be returning to this place. It's an experience I want to introduce anyone I can to.

Best Korean food I've ever had. My mother in law is Korean and she picked this place and enjoyed it also! I picked up my food to go but the inside was very busy & nice decor. The hostess was very friendly. Great service!

Good service, our waitress was patient and knowledgeable, answered all our questions and helped us select a good soup dish. We got the Yook Gae Yang (S2), comes with with noodles, veggies, beef and egg, we were warned it was spicy but we asked for mild, end up not spicy at all and was very good. Also got the Bul Go Ki Beef dish, it was delicious, I always enjoy this dish and they make it good here. I recommend the beef skewer, smoky flavor and the mean is lean, not fatty at all and very good, also got the chicken skewer but the beef tasted much better. Comes with rice and 8 side dishes, seems more side dishes than offered at other korean restaurants. Came on a Saturday night, place was busy but no full, we were able to get a table right away and fast service throughout.
