Food: Borderline flavorful yet forgettable

The Rib Eye Beef Bulgogi, Beef Tongue, and Pork Jowl are highlights of Bullgogi Korean Bbq’s menu – agreed by most to be flavorful, fresh, and generous in servings. Yet, these pleasantries are forgotten amidst the almost sour taste, the plastic-like texture of some foods. The variety and value for money provide some redemption, though food is not this establishment's saving grace.

  • Great Value

    Great value for money with quality meat and affordable pricing.

  • Okay Taste

    Meats were hit or miss, marinated meats sweet, decent food quality.

Vibe: Overbearing cacophony with drab decor

Instead of a place for comfortable conversation and relaxation, Bullgogi Korean Bbq feels uncomfortably club-like at worst and uninvitingly sketchy at best. Loud music and outdated aesthetic overwhelm, making even a simple weekend date seem strenuous while the questionable buzz surrounding the locale does little to improve perception.

  • Negative Buzz

    Interior looks dated and the location feels sketchy, uninviting to guests.

Perks: Tumultuous trouble and unaccommodating for tykes

While it is noteworthy that parking is not an issue and large groups can be accommodated, the overarching noise from the loud music drastically reduces dining comfort. Maybe you can overlook the slower service, however, children may leave with less than radiant reviews. Add in the long wait times on weekends for reservation, and Bullgogi Korean Bbq offers little in the way of desirable perks.

  • Easy To Park

    Spacious, ample, no problem finding parking, easy access constantly noted

  • Bad Service

    Service slow, unattentive, causing overwhelming and negative experiences.
