Not able to make to chubby cattle so came here. The price’s much lower. The restaurant’s new and nice! We chose premium. But all the meat was either so dry, hard to chew or just a whole piece of fat. Ordered some sides, like the noodles, no flavor.

Wonderful meal at a nice Korean restaurant where you have a choice of BBQ or Hor Pot or both! Choices galore for selections and they are nicely marinated. Delicious and good food, served with courteous service staff. Great ventilation so you won't end up smelling like food when you leave! Must try!

I ordered a plate of vegetables with green peppers and zucchini. One slice of green pepper was placed facing upward with the rotten side clearly visible. But when I picked it up and looked closer, I realized the pepper wasn’t even properly washed. There were black and white dust-like particles all over it, and the vegetables looked old and wilted. I called the server over and explained that the vegetables were rotten and unwashed. His response was: “Do you want me to just remove this piece?” I told him I checked the rest and they all looked the same, so I didn’t want the plate anymore. I honestly expected him to notify the kitchen or manager about a possible food safety issue. Instead, he silently dumped the vegetables into the trash and walked away as if nothing had happened. What shocked me most was not the rotten vegetables themselves, but how casually the issue was handled. No apology, no concern, no communication with the kitchen, and no effort to address the problem. Very disappointing experience.

Decent quality, but not much differentiation from other bbq places. The group of 14 opted for premium. We get everything from the menu. I stayed with seafood mostly for the meal. We cooked it ourselves. That in itself was challenging. Overall, a decent place to have dinner. To top off the end of the meal was a choice of ice cream. All included whether you go in or out. As always, being with friends makes the experience memorable.

If you're looking for a KBBQ and Hotpot experience in Livermore that prioritizes quality over quantity, this is the place to be. While it certainly falls on the pricier side of dining options in the area, the exceptional food quality absolutely justifies the cost, making it a great choice for a celebratory meal or a serious craving. The overall quality of the meat is a major highlight. Everything tasted fresh and well-marbled, indicating high standards across the board. The selection truly shines if you opt for the premium cuts, especially the Wagyu options. Having access to such a high-grade beef for grilling and dipping elevates the entire experience far beyond a standard all-you-can-eat spot. The incredible flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture of the premium offerings are truly the reason the higher cost is worth every penny. The hotpot broth and ingredients are equally well-curated, complementing the grilled meats perfectly. The entire meal feels like a cohesive, high-end experience, with excellent flavor profiles from start to finish. In summary: Come prepared to spend a little extra, but leave completely satisfied. If delicious, high-quality meat—including outstanding Wagyu.
