Food quality keeps diners returning: meat is tender and well-cooked over charcoal, portions fill you up, and side dishes arrive fresh. Yet service is a landmine. Staff range from genuinely friendly (Leo earns specific praise) to dismissive and impatient. Multiple guests report being made to feel like burdens, questioned on large tips despite minimal service, and left waiting even in a quiet restaurant. The core product is solid; customer experience depends entirely on who serves you. Recent months show a cluster of service complaints and a few exceptional praise reviews. The split suggests either inconsistent training, high turnover, or particular staff members driving guest frustration. Charcoal grilling is noted as their edge over other Orlando Korean BBQ restaurants.
