Thrill Korean Steak and Bar

This is an AYCE type of Korean BBQ. So basically you get a grill at the center of the table and they keep bringing you meat to grill (yourself).The area is in a strip mall and it's free parking. There are a lot of walkable areas so parking and walking around after a dinner would be something that you could do. The vibe at the restaurant is super nice. They have an upstairs area so there is a lot of space inside the establishment. There is a lot of light so even though the decorations are dark wood, it's still bright.On the weekends it's the standard dinner pricing (the Donner and weekend price is $50 a person). Everybody needs to be able to eat the same, so just be aware that everybody at the table has to be on the same page. And also, there's no carry out for all you can. They bring the meat two at a time, and they bring a bunch of different accommodations in the forms of salad and kimchi and wraps and such. The appetizers are coming out hot so you have to think about ordering those. But it's pretty straightforward, order all to meat you want.I like the fact that The waitresses and waiters will want to grill for you between food and help you cook your food for you. I bet you may need it but it's nice that they actually try. That's a really good touch. For the appetizers I tried the Korean fried chicken, spicy, and I tried the chicken dumplings on my first go. The spicy chicken was fried chicken tossed in a spicy sauce and it was pretty tasty and savory with the proper spice. The dumplings didn't come with a sauce but I dipped mine in some yum yum sauce and that made it good. The egg souffle was also pretty good. Very light and airy. For my meat I tried to different cut steak and to be brisket to start off. I also tried the Hawaiian steak and the spicy beef bulgogi. I also dabbled in plenty of peppers /onions/ and mushrooms so they helped accommodate the meal. Aside from the Hawaiian (which may have had a little too much sweet for me), Everything was good. The bulgogi was kind of fatty but had plenty of favor. I ordered a few orders of brisket, they add sesame oil and a salt and pepper blend and it hits every time!This is a solid choice and has a lot of options (as long as you pay attention to the pay points regarding what days are a specific price).

Went here for lunch after the gym and it was amazing!! The service was great! Our waiter was perfect, he made our lunch very special and the inside of the restaurant was very well kept, clean, and pretty! We ordered bulgogi and shrimp, our waiter cooked it for us and kept checking on us to make sure it was ready. The sides were amazing, especially the green onion salad..to die for! Definitely will be coming back!

I used to frequent thrill almost every weekend. Once their price increased, I stopped going. It's a far drive for me and I could no longer justify the cost. We were in the area and figured we'd treat ourselves. With as much competition as there are now, this is just one I wouldn't frequent often. It makes sense for those who live nearby but otherwise meh. The service was terribly slow for not being rush hour. They apparently gave our sides to another table so we had to wait even longer for them and there were many times our grill was empty because the server was no where to be found to order more. I enjoy the variety of items they offer but, if I can't even order them then it's pointless. The bartender and front staff were friendly and quick. It could have been an off night for the server or the kitchen so take what is said with a grain of salt.

Thrill is tucked away, but it's definitely worth searching out. Drinks, Korean BBQ and great friends. You can't beat this combination. The sides could improve. They don't give as many as some other Korean BBQ places, but the meat selections are great. I would come back just for the drinks. Lots of variety and some pretty cool concoctions. Service was friendly and fast.

I visited Thrill Korean BBQ for lunch, arriving around 2:30 pm on a slow Sunday. We were promptly seated and presented with an array of sides listed on the menu, including kimchi, pasta salad, broccoli, pickled onions and jalapenos, radish wraps, house salad, green onion salad, and spicy radish salad. Of all the sides, the green onion salad stood out as my favorite; however, the others lacked flavor and freshness.Curious about others' experiences, I turned to TikTok and Yelp for reviews. Some TikTok users claimed the grills were non-stick, preventing food from burning easily when changing proteins. Contrary to this, my experience differed. When our server placed Spicy Beef Bulgogi on the grill, it instantly smoked, requiring a plate swap. This happened with every item cooked, making the ventilation inadequate and leaving us smelling like we had been by a grill all afternoon.A positive aspect was the attentive server who ensured a steady flow of proteins to our table. Unfortunately, the rice provided was cold, lacking warmth. The $45 price tag, covering appetizers, sides, unlimited protein, and soft drinks, seemed reasonable. However, I was disappointed in the quality of meat, not considering it the best cuts as suggested by TikTok reviews.I ordered the Hawaiian Steak, Thrill Steak Medallions, Marinated Galbi, Teriyaki Chicken, Pork Belly, and Garlic Calamari. The steaks were fatty, and some proteins lacked flavor when cooked. The only exception was the enjoyable Hawaiian Steak. The appetizers, including Cheese Corn, Chicken Dumplings, Rice Cakes, and Spicy Fried Chicken, tasted as if they had been sitting out for a while and were not fresh, contradicting TikTok recommendations.Comparatively, I usually dine at Iron Age, where the food quality surpasses my experience at Thrill. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Trill Korean BBQ as a must-try until they improve their food quality.

Thrill KBBQ is a great KBBQ place that does have a higher price point than other KBBQ joints, but the ambience and meat selection is there! The lack of big projectors playing loud KPOP definitely won't be here!Service for a Sunday night was so great and the servers really were always there when we needed them to cut up meat or flip. I usually do all this for my table, but they did really well and I had no issues.The banchan here and other side dishes are great as well. Love me some Thrill!

Trying new things is such a big treat in the food world. Here are a few fun facts about Thrill Korean steak and bar. Upon arriving to this restaurant, you can enter either on the shopping center side, or there is parking on the front side of the restaurant. As you walk into the restaurant, you will notice a full bar and several tables for seating. Reservations are definitely recommended especially if you have large parties. The establishment was very clean and the staff were friendly. The food presentation was beautiful, but some of the foods tastes could have been better. The cocktails were refreshing and I definitely went back for another. Overall, the restaurant was good. It's in a perfect location and I would recommend it for those who are trying it out for the first time.

My daughter and I had great expectations but while service was good, we did not like the food.We do not eat pork and decided to stick with the beef choices. I hate to say the quality of the different cuts of meat was not there. Beef Brisket had no flavor, Beef Bulgogi was over marinated as well as the short rib and the rib-eye. Every bite was either flavorless or super salty. The small dishes/appetizers are very basic and I did not find them appealing at all. Ate little, spent way too much. $45 a person + drinks + tax + tip......$130 total (2 people).All you can eat when you are not liking anything is almost a torture. The 3 stars are for the host and the wait staff.

There was nothing thrilling about Thrill. While the ambiance is quite modern and their service solid, the food was lackluster. On the positive side, their menu is extensive in terms of appetizers, sides, marinated and unmarinated proteins, desserts, and drinks. Their Korean Fried Chicken, Fried Tofu, and Kimchi Chimps were disappointing. We tried a myriad of their protein options and nothing impressed us. Totally bland. For $50 per person, I expect so much more. I've been to many great Korean steak houses in the US and abroad (including South Korea), and Thrill is at the bottom of the barrel. In summary - overpriced, a bit pretentious, and flavorless.

I really enjoyed eating here. They are super nice and friendly. They also cook for you while you watch. I always burn my food so I'm glad they did. I am used to going to these type of places and come out smelling like smoke but this place airs out pretty good so you don't have to worry about that. The food is pretty good. I really liked the Kal-bi or bone in spareribs. Sides were also plentiful and just as good. Hope that you like like kimchi.
