We’ve dined here for Christmas Eve and special occasions for years. The Dinner Unlimited lets you choose all the meat you like, cooking at the table is fun and easy, and if you need anything, there’s a fun button to press. We typically don’t need to call because the staff is very attentive. Highly recommend! Also, get the corn cheese! Delicious! They refill the sides over and over if you eat up the kimchi and mac salad!

I am so happy to have lived this Steakhouse. The food was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was fantastic. The food was the best I have ever had and you cook it yourself at your table!!! This restaurant has fulfilled one of my nerd dreams and has given me a new place to bring clients, friends, and family. I will be returning. THANK YOU FOR THE BEST DINING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!

Very tasty and good food. Dinner buffet price all day on Saturday and Sunday. Max unlimited food is only for 2 hours. They do charge you if you waste the food. Sample parking spot. Prepare to go home with smelly clothes.

This Korean BBQ spot never fails to leave me stuffed and satisfied! It’s my favorite Korean restaurant in Knoxville. Also, it’s my top choice for date nights or gatherings with friends. The vibe is fun, the food is fantastic, and the servers are always super friendly and patient. Keep in mind that there is a 2 hour dining limit that starts upon ordering your first dish. In addition, a “gratuity” charge is automatically applied with parties of 6 or more. Also, don’t be intimidated to cook your own meats as the servers will happily cook and keep an eye on the dishes for you. When it comes to the dishes, there are so many delicious entrees and sides flying around, mistakes can happen. Twice now, they forgot the kimchi I requested… but honestly, with the table loaded up with so much food, I almost didn’t notice (and you probably won’t either). When it comes to the meats, you have to explore! My favorites are the beef bulgogi, which is ridiculously juicy, and the ribeye cap for its tenderness. The QK beef steak is another standout because it’s full of flavor. On the other hand, I do wish the shrimp had more seasoning. Now, let’s talk sides. The kimchi is a must for that perfect bit of spice. I also love the sweet pickled radish, pickled jalapeños, cheese corn, miso sauce, and those fluffy eggs. With so many options, there’s always something to please every palate. At around $30+ per adult, it’s definitely a splurge, but the unlimited dishes make it so worth it. If you’re feeling adventurous, the premium sides are also worth trying. My only real gripe is the nonalcoholic drink menu, it’s pretty limited. You’re stuck with soda or water, which feels like a missed opportunity. I suspect it’s because of the walkway to Kung Fu Tea next door, maybe as a way to encourage traffic there? It’s a little inconvenient, but not a dealbreaker. One more thing: their bathrooms deserve a shoutout! Super private and spotless, it’s a small detail, but it really adds to the experience. Overall, this place hits so many high notes, and I’ll keep coming back despite the small hiccups. If you love Korean BBQ, it’s absolutely worth a visit!

The food was great, they just didn’t have salt for the unflavored meat choices. There was plenty of options for the unlimited menu and was a very fun experience.

I spotted the sign from the road and swerved across traffic to finally try Korean BBQ. I see it enjoyed frequently in the endless K-dramas I watch. I wasn't disappointed. Going it alone was a major undertaking as there is a mountain of food and choices. Every side dish was delicious! I had the beef brisket, pork belly, and K-beef. The wait staff were just the right amount of attentive assistance with the grill. I didn't get the names of the sauces, but I'd trade my lovely husband for his weight in the garlicky sauce. I am going to find a place in my hometown to see how it compares. I'm bringing friends this time!

Went for my birthday and absolutely loved it here! The waiter was awesome, he was extremely friendly and very helpful. We all loved the food here, we went with the dinner unlimited and wasn't disappointed.
Sally Hammock
Friendly staff plenty of food. We ordered the dinner buffet we had 2 hours to eat as much as we could eat. They had lots of options from beef, pork, chicken and even squid and shrimp. You cook your food at the table and that was pretty cool.
