This place is STILL the best Korean restaurant in all of Madison. I’ve been to all of them and none of them can still hold a candle food wise and it has the best price point. Every time I come in they top themselves. Best comfort food ever. Giving them their 5 stars bc I know they deserve it and you’ll see everything I say easier but don’t be fooled— when an Asian restaurant has lower stars esp for service and atmosphere you know it’s the real deal. Compared to places that give you free appetizers for their 5 stars lol.

Certainly a Madison MUST try spot! We got the Bul Go Ki Beef (Marinated in soybean savory sauce and grilled) along with their Korean fried chicken wings - crispy fried/wet! Yummers! Both dishes were amazing and we cannot wait to come back to try a lot more! I loved their service style as well. Service sits you down and takes your order and when you’re ready to pay you just go up to the counter. We’ll be back for more!

It is all in the name, "5 Star Korean BBQ", definitely worth the visit! Everything about this establishment is a 5 star. The owner/server, excellent! Food, amazing! I travel a lot and am always looking for my favorite Korean restaurants. This one, by far, makes the best beef bulgogi. I can't wait to visit again when I am back in Madison, WI.

I absolutely loved this place! We ordered the Korean fried chicken and pork bulgogi (hope I spelled that right!), and both dishes were amazing. The flavors were rich, and the spice level was just perfect, especially for my Nepali taste buds. It really hit the spot! The service was equally impressive. Our server was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. This place has definitely become one of my favorite Korean spots, and I 100% recommend it. Can’t wait to go back!

The food was great and the staff was friendly. The owners son drove up from Chicago to help because they were short staffed! Really enjoyed the seaweed rolls! Even if you don't think you like seaweed, you should try these! All of the other dishes were tasty. Service was timely and we will definitely go back!

I've been driving by this restaurant So so curiously. We finally stopped in and didn't regret it. I ordered, in simple terms, C1( Bul Go Ki beef) our server Justin was very knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly. Upon paying for our meal, Justin suggested the BBQ room. We're certainly coming back to do just that. The portions were generous and visually appealing. Certainly not "fine" dining. But, if you want to feel at ease this is the spot!
