Hands down the worst Korean BBQ experience I’ve ever had. The hygiene was atrocious — filthy utensils and plates that looked like they hadn’t been properly washed in days. The meat was shockingly low quality, borderline spoiled with a funky smell and grayish tint that made us question whether it was even safe to eat. The steamed egg? 80% water and tasted like it was cooked in a chemistry lab — a weird, artificial flavor that lingered in the worst way. To top it off, the staff seemed completely uninterested and untrained — more like grumpy students forced into work than actual servers. Rude, inattentive, and borderline hostile. For two people, the bill somehow still came out to $150. The only redeeming factor was that they had parking… which still wasn’t free. Save your money, your appetite, and your stomach. There are way better options out there that won’t make you feel like you need a tetanus shot after dinner.

Wow I was quite impressed with this AYCE kbbq. Their meat quality is pretty top tier. Their beef brisket and beef belly isn’t anything extraordinary but I was so amazed by their rib eye, filet mignon, marinated beef, and other cuts such as pork jowl as well. Their jigaes were great and banchan was solid too. Service was amazing and quick only downside was the floor was super super greasy so very slippery

Oo Kook offers a wide variety of unlimited Korean BBQ options. On weekdays, you can enjoy their Happy Hour special from 5-7 PM at just $30 per person. However, the Happy Hour period tends to be very busy, making parking and securing a table a challenge. Even with valet parking, I had to wait a while to park, and the parking fee is $4. Considering the affordable price for unlimited options, the quality of the meat and food is excellent. Despite the busyness, the staff provided quick and attentive service. In a time of rising prices, their affordable Happy Hour makes this place worth 5 stars!

Came here for friends’s birthday and went for the $38 AYCE. A few thoughts/tips: - Meat quality was good and marinated well. Our favorites are short ribs, bulgogi, filet mignon, beef tongue. - Strong smoke throughout the room which makes dining experience less enjoyable. The vent is set too far away from the grill and so many tables in a closed setting. - You can only order 4 items between each order. We have a party of 6. Not convenient when you have to wait 15 mins in between for meat with a 90 min AYCE limit (although they do not enforce time limit strictly).
