Came here with 9 and had a terrible experience. After we sat down and gave in our first order, the manager came and told us that larger parties has a mandatory 25% gratuity. Tipping is fine, not writing the mandatory fee on the menu is just malicious equivocation. Additionally the manager straight up stopped our orders from being processed. On the menu it explicitly says it's one beef short rib per person, we ordered 4 and we're stopped from additional orders. Finally we got kicked out of the reasturant because we asked the hostess why our orders were being cancelled. Our server was great and we ended up tipping 60 to the waiter. Glad to never come back again

I visited Ko Ryo Jung with a group of friends and it was a great experience to try Korean BBQ. It was fun to cook your own meat. They have a large selection and they were all delicious. If you have never tried Korean BBQ I would suggest checking out Ko Ryo Jung.

As a veteran enjoyer of KBBQ, I tend to judge places like this very harshly, especially when they are as expensive as this one! (Almost $30 per person, with a 2 person minimum.) However, Ko Ryo Jung checked all my boxes perfectly. Firstly, the grills are top notch. I think they may be treated cast iron (as opposed to wire, aluminum, or stainless steel). The meat cooked quickly, evenly, and never stuck to the grill. Despite how quickly the meat cooked, my hand never felt hot while cooking, which tells me that heat was not wasted (again, as opposed to wire, aluminum, or stainless steel). The selection of meat is stunning. Even on the limited menu (Menu A), you have exotic/non-standard choices, such as Baby Octopus. The meat is also of obvious quality, looking and tasting fresh from the time it arrives to the time you bite into it. The establishment allows you to order up to 3 plates of meat at a time, reducing wait times between meats drastically. In addition, the waitstaff is incredibly attentive and prompt. I never felt like I was waiting. I only have 2 minor complaints: Selection of sides is limited, compared to other KBBQ establishments. The sides are also self-serve, put out like a buffet line. (This is a negative in my opinion, especially during COVID Times.) Interior of restaurant is LOUD. I couldn't hear the music (Standard KPop fare, with the music videos playing on wall-mounted TVs) and I also couldn't hear my partner. This combined with the width of the tables made it near impossible to hold a conversation with her. All in all, unless you are looking for a venue for a romantic date, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Update:It got so much more expensive, but then new choices of meat are delicious. Ptobably can't come as much but still definitely worth coming! Only Kbbq place I will ever need to go to. My husband and I always love it here. They are so good to us all the time. So happy they opened up again for dine in.
