Korean Barbecue & Sushi Bar

I want everyone to know that I eat here once a week and I order the same thing every time. I’ll murder the spelling if I try right now but fortunately that doesn’t affect the taste. I am getting ready to pick up a take out right now and I’m already salivating.

Food was good. Try the dolsot bibimbap. Was nervous about the waiter (male) because we didn’t get the appetizers/​korean small dishes first, however after repeated initiation of conversations; things turned out better. Concern was our party was gonna get sub par service. Would’ve liked for the waiter to check on us for drinks as I finished my water and my family member finished his Sprite before we were asked for a refill. Moreover, I finished my food by then and didn’t care about the refill anymore since we were about to leave. Overall, the food was good. They did add a $ 15 tip which reminded me of pre-​Obama /​IRS rule change where they added the automatic gratuity vs the rule change where they started counting tips as earned income. I may go back some day if in the mood for Korean food.

Really bad service, the food is not worth the price. Also, service is not good, not friendly, really dispointted, will not return again.

The Spicy Kalbi here is the best anywhere. Not the cheapest by any means, but it comes out with a fantastic glaze on it, and it is generally thick cut. It’s not spicy in terms of heat, just melt-​in-​your-​mouth bites with loads of flavor.
If anyone knows the secret recipe here, I need to know!

This was our first time at this restaurant. We used to go to a restaurant in New Jersey when we lived there. The food here was decent, the service was excellent, prices were fair, portion sizes were appropriate and the ambience was casual. The servers were friendly and checked up on us periodically. The Korean wings were excellent but we were not too thrilled with the bulgogi dolsot. It wasn’t what we expected. I would come back for the wings.

Not really a fan. Being a New Yorker and an Asian food lover, I’ve had better Korean food. The price for the portion of meal you get was a little too expensive. Everything on the menu from the appetizers to the dinner menu started out $ 15 and up and not even including drinks. Definitely felt like we were duped. Other than that the only thing good about this place was the service.

We have been coming here faithfully for probably 10 years — friendly service, usually delicious food, it is a family favorite. I hope to be able to switch back to 5 stars asap because we normally adore this place. Tonight we got takeout, something we do often. This time… it was bad. Our normal favorite, the beloved spicy chicken yaki, was pretty much unrecognizable. Usually a hot flavorful juicy dish with lots of colorful vegetables and tender chicken in a spicy thin red sauce… today it was cold chicken pieces and raw onions in a bland brown sauce. No other veggies, barely any sauce, slapped in a container. Um, WHAT HAPPENED??? This is like a life tragedy, (ok, maybe not THAT bad, but seriously seriously disappointing.) We also specifically asked for fish cakes as a side as our children love them, get the order all the way home. no fish cakes. Deeeeeeep Sigh. Korean BBQ & Sushi Bar, please hear our cries… come back to us. We want to love you, we can forgive, just fix it please.

I used to frequent this place solely for their Korean BBQ (specifically the bulgogi). The price was always a bit higher than I thought it could be previously, but I justified it with the selection of sides that came with it. However, since they have raised their prices on their BBQ dishes (and pretty significantly, was around $ 16 if I recall correctly and now is around $ 25), I have had to stop going there. It is a shame as the Bulgogi was excellent, and the sides were all relatively enjoyable.
My only other issue was that the service left a lot to be desired. The few waitresses seemed apathetic most of the time, and we’re usually pretty slow to get refills and such. On a face level, they seemed fairly friendly most of the time, so I never really cared too much, but was never really impressed. I conclusion, I used to overlook the flaws for the good food, but now with steep prices, I can no longer justify returning :(

I’ve been coming here for years and almost always for their soups. I love the Jambong here! I’ve been to a few other Korean BBQ and they either don’t sell it or it’s not very good.
The other stuff on the menu is tasty too and worth a try.

Food was great. However, the cleaness of the plates was questionable.

This was my second visit here. My first visit I had the Bulgogi which was very good and was highly recommended. This visit I had the Spicy Pork Yaki. I really liked the combination of spicy yet sweet tastes of the sauce along with the smokey taste of the pork. I would definitely have the Yaki again. I like the fact that they give you an assortment of sides along with your meal. The venue itself is nothing special at all but don’t let that stop you from getting some great Korean food.

I’ve been hittin this place up for the last five years so I think it’s time to give back. Every once in a while I get a craving for some jaeyuk bokkum, and this little place delivers. Their bulgogi bibimbap is awesome too. My girlfriend really loves the bento boxes and she frequents the chicken teriyaki. It’s tasty. The only meal that I was disappointed with was the shrimp fried rice. I didn’t order it but a friend did and it definitely wasn’t worth the price. It was basically a 14 dollar mound of fried rice with baby shrimp in it. That being said, their prices are a little high, but when I get the craving, I tell my wallet to shut the hell up cuz we’re about to pound some jaeyuk dapbab, ya dig?
The staff is really friendly and they recently got new tables with table top grills. It’s always a pleasure walking in and walking out full of delicious pork bbq. I’ll be sad to leave this place behind.

The food is delicious and it’s authentic. However, for a place that doesn’t have heat or air conditioning, that doesn’t have a soda machine and gives you overpriced canned sodas, the prices are way too high. Lower them. It’s cool that you get unlimited sides (I think, although I’ve only asked for more two times) but it’s too expensive. Also, the service is awful. It’s almost like they ignore their customers just so they don’t have to give them more sides. Last time I went was a month ago and they «ran out of potatoes and kimchi» um? That’s kind of why I went.

For the half dozen or so times I’ve been here in the last two years, this place has been pretty okay. Try to keep in mind that it’s going to be a challenge to find 100% perfect Korean food in DE. Their prices have gone up about $ 5 for their meats. A little disappointing considering the portions seem smaller too? The women are usually friendly to tolerable. My friend loves their seafood stew! The meat is good, though maybe sweeter than traditional Korean BBQ? The décor and bathroom are pretty lame so you’re not really coming here for atmosphere. I’ll probably be back within the next six months or so.

Im getting rather familiar with the restaurant placement style here in Delaware. Great places in odd locations. Maybe I’m jaded by large urban centers and fancy structures.
The interior of this place isn’t too exciting, seems a bit lackluster. It has a poor attempt at being authentic. The off colored walls with only a couple photos on the wall and some wall decorations make you question if you have made a right choice for your meal. But, don’t judge a book by its cover.
The service was fantastic, I felt the staff was very excited to be serving you and preparing your meal. They were quick, friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable about each dish and proved helpful when ordering a new type of food.
The food was great! The bulgogi isn’t the best I’ve had, it was a bit more sweet than spiced but it was cooked well. There were about 6 side dishes to accompany your meal and the Romaine lettuce was fresh and crisp. These side dishes were presented nicely in individual mini dishes and were plentiful. The kimchi I thought was OK, and maybe needed some more kick to them. The waitress was kind enough to show you how to build your lettuce wrap to get you started on your glutenous journey. I wish there was more lettuce, I ran out too quickly. Thank goodness for silverware. They do have a limited drink selection and you’re best off going somewhere else to drink.
Overall, this place has its good side and bad side. An entire dish isn’t built delicious but each component is either hit or miss. I will come back, I need to try other items on their menu.

It was my second time to have dinner here. It seemed to be a Korean-​Japanese restaurant. I ordered marinated prime ribs. Maybe because I had too much ribs in that week, I didn’t feel the ribs was very good. I doubted a little bit about the meat I had. It seemed not to be the rib because they served it as chipped meat. Absolutely, it was pork, but I knew many ways to cook other parts of pork like rib.
The decoration here was not very coordinate, perhaps because they removed the BBQ stove on the some desks.

Since I found this listing, a couple weeks ago, I’ve wanted to check this place out and I finally did tonight.
What is authentic anymore? With so many people in the world, we’ve mixed cultures for years, sharing our meals and creating new ones. Even if you went to a country, people are still going to have their interpretations on the food. I say, if it’s good food, it’s good food. With good food, you taste the time someone put into creating it, that’s why it tastes good! Since I cook for myself, a lot, I know the effect it takes to make something good.
So this place gets 4 stars from me. It doesn’t seem like that have working «table grills»; they did not use them while I was there but you can see them in a couple of tables.
Based on a review here, and a quick online search, I ordered Jeyuk Bokkeum (which in the menu, they spell — Jaeyuk Bokkum, which they list it as «pan fried pork loin with special sauce.») The meat was good, nice flavor; although the menu has it listed as «hot», to me, it really wasn’t; had a spice «kick» but not hot. The meat was tender; I was a little disappointed with the lack of vegetables. Although they did serve 6 little bowls of complementary food items (served all together) before our food arrived. Out of those items, only the broccoli was cold which was not that good, compared to everything else. We were given complementary tea which was really nice. It had a mild, non-​sugary, simplicity; I wish I had some of this on the snowy days at home. I need to find out what it was.
I knew I was not going to pronounce Jeyuk Bokkeum correctly, so before I went, I typed it into my phone’s note app. When ordering, I showed the waitress what it said, asking if they had it and she directed me to it on the menu. It wasn’t with Kimchi though, it just had some peppers and onions with it.
I tasted the «Shrimp Yaki» (shrimp grilled with teriaki sauce) and I liked that they left the shrimp tails on. I also tasted the «O-​Jinguh Bokkum» (pan fried spicy squid with vegetables) and the squid was just, not rubbery, but tough, a little over cooked, perhaps and there it lacked flavor.
The staff were nice and tried their best to communicate; the waitress took care of us and when she saw that I brought my own chop sticks she was almost amazed. It was cute. I took a take out menu (uploaded pictures of it) and will most likely come back here again to try other stuff. The place was clean and I loved their bowls and place settings.

So far, I’ve had the opportunity to eat both dinner and lunch at this restaurant. The food is good and the price is very reasonable. Recently, I had lunch here and I definitely enjoyed it. I order the shrimp teriyaki bento box. I highly encourage the bento box for lunch. You get so much food for $ 9. I don’t recall every single item, but my bento box came with two pieces of sushi (California), rice, shrimp teriyaki, a small salad and a few other items.

I have gone here for years and the service was never anything to write home about but after my experience with their poor customer service this evening nothing will take me back. I’d rather cook bulgogi at home.
This time I went as a party of four. Three adults and one child. We ordered two bulgogi’s and were given sides for only one standard bulgog (among other items) i. Being reasonable we figured since we ordered two and were also given only 3 small bowls of rice (I guess they felt the child didn’t need to eat rice?) that there would be no problem when we request additional fishcakes. Our waitress immediately told us «No. We do not have any more fishcakes today!»
While we ordered yet a 3^rd order of shrimp and waited for things like spoons and offers for refills I notice a couple that has come in after us, and was waited on well after us, is being served bulgogi with a healthy sized side dish of fishcakes which we were told they did not have.
When I asked the waitress she said that it was because they have the bulgogi’s pre-​prepped which I understand but why not give us the both the bulgogi’s we ordered or how about being honest and not lying in the first place about the dish being gone for the day?
Asked to speak to the manager who was entirely unapologetic. Offered no alternate dish or acknowledgement that they are falsely advertising by not providing patrons with the quantity of food items they order.
I’ve had better Korean BBQ all over the country. I wouldn’t recommend anyone go here.

I was very excited to hear that I was going to try Korean BBQ in Delaware.
Ironically, this was the most work I’ve had to do in a long time. Seriously, the waitress dropped off the meat and left us alone. I cut the galbi short ribs off the bone, cooked it and cut it with scissors. Waitress never came back. In terms of taste, the bbq was ok. I was a bit nervous when I noticed the lettuce wraps were browning and wilting. No thanks on the Ssam. The banchan spread was fine.
In addition, we were the only table to cook our own meat. Everyone else at other tables were either lazy or they saw me toiling and decided otherwise.
Still, if I lived in the area, I would return. Good but far from great.
