Such a cute vibe from the moment you walk in, def very K-Pop inspired and I loved it! The tteoboki was sooooo tasty, inhaled it. Got the H1 hot pot and it was pretty good overall, my only gripe was the broth was a little sweet - I could’ve used some savor. Overall worth the visit the staff is super friendly and accommodating!

I enjoyed the aesthetic of the place upon walking in. Very cute decorations and vibes. The food was excellent, I tried the H1 hot pot, which was delicious. The service was great, our server checked up on us often and helped us navigate the menu. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here!

This place ROCKS! First time here and won't be the last. Such a fun social experience. The bulgogi is so exciting to share with friends. And the fried chicken was a shocker! Incredible.
Great food!
Loved the Bibimbap plate, it was filling.
The meat was very tender & juicy along with a great portion of veggies and soft rice.
The banana milk was rich & creamy.
Would definitely come back again!

Bibimbap
Tteok bokki my wife had. She said it was ok. I tasted it. it was sweet tasting maybe from the elongatedrice patties. My beef ramyeon was good. Just enough spice. Tiny bits of shaved beef. Waiter forgot appetizer gogi mandu(dumplings). They were ok. He brought them when we were half way finished with our meal. Never asked about a refill.

So, I should have done more research before coming to this place… I don’t think I’ll be back. Just personal preference. Here’s why…
1. When ever they asked us if this was our first time, we said “yes.” But they still didn’t walk us through what to do- the enormous scissors were a puzzle until I realized there were no knives on the table.🤨
2. The place is very echoey, and the table behind us was loud (and the place was half empty on a Tuesday night). So if you are looking for a quiet intimate spot - the wood benches and the cement floors do not create quiet.
3. My wood bench had sticky sauce all over it that I did not discover until my jeans stuck to it. I asked for a wet towel to clean the seat, and they sent a boy over to wipe it down.
4. We split the combo meal (almost $100) because we were not familiar with anything on the menu. Don’t get the brisket… go to Mission BBQ for amazing brisket!
So like I said, it just wasn’t for us. But you might love it, so please give it a try! 😊

My favorite restaurant in the Rockford/Loves Park area. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. Everyone is personable and you can choose between making the food yourself at the table or having it made for you. The marinades are amazing and I am absolutely obsessed with the secret Gochujang sauce. I order extra every time. Go visit KBQ. It’ll be worth it!

This place was AMAZING. It far exceeded our expectations. We've tried several Korean BBQ places in Chicago and Schaumberg, and this place far outdid them all! My husband and I both had the bulgogi and it was the most tender piece of meat we've ever had. My husband is Korean and said this place was absolutely phenomenal. We'll be taking his Korean mom here SOON!

There was only two of us, so combo 1 was more than enough. The side dishes were delightful, and the meat was excellent. Unique experience and very chill atmosphere. The wait staff was very helpful and polite. Korean Sake is the best!

Cook your own or they have many prepared dishes too. We absolutely loved the shrimp pancake, it was massive and delicious. The different meats that come with the bbq were awesome, we got combo#1 and would definitely recommend it. They have pepsi products including Starry! Great decor and very polite and helpful staff.
