Came in for a birthday meal for my partner as he loves Korean BBQ! The staff were so amazing - absolutely couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly. They helped us choose a good set menu for the BBQ, and brought over complimentary lettuce to go with it. Everything was super tasty and fresh, and the whole BBQ experience was brilliant. At the end, they brought out a special ice cream sundae for my partner as it was his birthday, and sung Happy Birthday to him! So thoughtful and lovely. Absolutely would recommend!

5/5 ★ Amazing Korean BBQ in York! This place is a hidden gem! The meat is super fresh and the side dishes too. Staff were so friendly—helped us grill perfectly. The vibe is cozy but modern, and no smoky smell after (big plus!). Totally worth it! 🥩🔥

Went to Bulgogi Korean & BBQ yesterday and enjoyed a very lovely Korean dinner with my sister. We ordered a Bibimbap as well, but didn’t remember to take a picture as we racked up quite the appetite! Staff were extremely friendly and made sure we had an amazing time as well. Definitely will be coming back.

This restaurant is simply the best one I've ever eaten at in the entire UK!!!!! The bibimbap is very authentic, neither too salty nor too spicy, and the taste is just right! When the fried chicken is freshly made, taking a bite, it's crispy and fragrant, just amazing!!! The portion size is also very generous! One person simply can't finish it. The boss is very nice, and the attitude of the waiters is much better than that of other restaurants! I suggest that all people living in York and visiting York come to this restaurant to have a taste! You definitely won't be disappointed!!!

Came here for a meal after a reccomendation, shared the £40 set meal between two. Amazing tasting food, and being able to cook your food yourself is very fun and rewarding! The staff were also very friendly and even gave us tips on how best to use the hot plate! Will definitley be here again!

In York for the day and struggling to pick somewhere for lunch, we were very happy with our decision to eat here. We had a bibimbap and crispy chicken udon with a kimchi pancake. The crispy chicken was very good. The bibimbap was tasty and very nicely spiced - not too hot. All the food was freshly prepared and literally sizzling when it arrived at the table. Portions were very generous. Service was wonderful - friendly and attentive.

This place is an absolute hidden gem! Easy to miss as it is just a door and the restaurant is upstairs but it is worth spotting and the climb. The staff are super friendly and helpful, they explained any dish I had questions about and had good recommendations for us. It is certainly a good experience having someone cook for you in the centre of your table. The meats are freshly prepared and you can watch them be cooked to your liking right at your table. The smells are absolutely incredible and you can order as many sides or extras as you can eat. I will definitely be coming here again and making it a regular visit when I travel to York.

Dined at this fantastic restaurant and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The grilled pork was incredibly fresh, and the kimchi fried chicken with a mustard sauce was to die for. I believe the ingredients were of top-notch quality, and the sauces were truly unique. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Visit to York for a long weekend and went in for the Korean BBQ...service was excellent and very attentive/helpful without being too much. Prices were great and food was amazing. Drinks were good too, great variety. Would definitely go again. Make sure you take cash for tipping!

Criminally underrated, I would say the prices are criminally under for what we received too. I went with my boyfriend for our 3 years anniversary. We had never been to a Korean BBQ before but the staff member who served us was amazing. She helped us from start to finish, was polite and I was so genuinely just taken aback by the hospitality we received. The meat was well cut (it was never too fatty, and the fat rendered perfectly) the dips and drinks were great (the house special dry chilli is the way to go!). It was so good that we left a 20% tip (which we never do in the UK) Would I come back? Yes. Would I recommend this place to a friend? Yes. I won't sugar coat it. You won't get better korean food in york (and probably not in the UK either)
