This place clearly prioritizes "Money" over the "customer"experience. I’ve had a lot of KBBQ, but this spot is a coin flip: sometimes you get decent food, sometimes you get food poisoning. I've found small bugs at the self-serve and hair in my food a couple of times, which is proof of the lack of attention to basic hygiene. The consistent issue is the staff (mainly the women). About 7 out of 10 times, they are rude, have a clear attitude problem, and are not customer-oriented at all. It feels like they are actively driving away business. Management needs to invest in customer care training and maybe raise their pay so the staff aren't taking out their frustrations on patrons. I will not be returning until they implement some customer training and better food safety. Even though it profi

I pretty much ate biweekly here. My first time having hot pot which was always great to have during the harsh winters. After the many times that I’ve come here, I’ve always enjoyed having both the hot pot and kbb. There are times when I’m in the mood for one over the other but majority of times having both has always been better. The owners have done a wonderful job maintaining this place and have always been welcoming to my friends and family. The best spot to eat here in Ithaca. Also, if you do get BBQ, here’s a tip: season the meats with the salt & spice rub. Add the oil all over the grill and ensure it’s hot.

Went with a few friends, service and food was amazing! They were always around and making sure we were okay, changing the grill, refilling water, and taking plates away!

This place is amazing and the food is absolutely delicious! I’ve never experienced a restaurant that combines Asian Hot Pot and Korean Style BBQ, and I was curious about how it would work. It turns out, they complement each other perfectly! The quality of the meat and ingredients was top-notch. The restaurant is brand new and looks fantastic. The decor has some really cool touches, like misty flames next to the booths and beautiful lighting. It’s surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seating for large groups and VIP rooms for private events. There was even a cool service robot which brought the meat the tables! The sauce bar is a highlight, offering a variety of options to create your own dip for the BBQ, from spicy to sweet, plus some Asian specialty desserts. The service was excellent.

Delicious and fun hot pot experience! The spicy broth was flavorful, and everything from the seafood to the veggies was super fresh. Loved the individual pots and the sauce bar. Great service and clean space—definitely coming back!
