"I love coming here! The food is great, and the staff is always so friendly and attentive. My favorite KBBQ place! They get busy on weekends though so I recommend going during the week."

"Upon entering the restaurant, the unique style intrigued me, but the lack of service information added an unnecessary layer of confusion. The staff failed to explain how things worked, leaving customers to figure it out on their own. Despite the decent food quality and a pleasant ambiance, the frustrating service overshadowed the positive aspects. When I approached the staff about the confusion, their response was a nonchalant shrug and a smirk, displaying a lack of concern for customer satisfaction. While the establishment has potential, the overall experience was marred by poor service, making it a less-than-ideal choice for those seeking a genuinely enjoyable evening out."

"The food at halves is wonderful: high quality meats, fresh veggies. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired for the price though. I would like to go back again, but it’s date night menu prices, but doesn’t have a nice restaurant feel. I wish they would make it more comfortable, with comfortable seating, etc. we spent $120 (including tip) on 2 people, with the halves menu, and 1 drink each."

"We went to this place for dinner on a week night and they were pretty busy. I love the hot pot and grill combination. The miso and spicy miso broth were very tasty. The meat and seafood were fresh. We ordered the Angus' beef, beef short rib and the seafood platter. The seafood comes with a lobster tail, salmon, shrimp and mussel. Each order comes with a both of vegetable, Udon white rice or brown rice. The dipping sauces were very good as well. Overall, we had a great meal and will definitely be back."
