This is definitely my favorite place of all times. They closed like a whole year during pandemic and we missed them so much but now they are back and improved. I’ve been coming here since 2015 and just love it. Servers really take care of you but Jose is the best! Jose makes us feel like home ☺️ so much that my son just now was like “I wish I could give them a five star review, if only I had Yelp” 😂 well here is your five star review and you have Dominick to thank for 👌

I've been here about 3 times, I don't like how bright it is so I rarely go but I love their simple menu. Today I visited and I was alone and they gave me no trouble. I sat down around 1130, instantly greeted with service. Throughout my visit, constantly asked do I need something, I had to tell them "gimme a second" once. That is awesome. The guys there were on top of their game, big time. Actually made me feel better after my world cup elimination. The food wasn't the best but if you take your time and season it, it'll get there. Each time I asked for something, they said ok. Not once did they say they didn't have it. Very chill restaurant. When I need a pick me up, I'll be back. Once again, the servers were more than awesome. Edit: Oct 20th 2023 This would be my go to spot if it wasn't so bright but I updated my review and gave it 5 stars. There is nothing to complain about. I go here when I want the basics and that's it. Fair price (I guess), nice staff. A mirror in the men's restroom would be nice, a brother needs to check his hair out at times lol. Keep up the good work. I forgot my server's name but she was awesome. See y'all later

We were so sad when Furusato was closed at the beginning of the pandemic so super excited to find out it reopened! However, the receipt states that the store is "Ko Hyang Gal Bi" so not sure if there's a ownership change but they kept the Furusato name on the store since that's what the locals know it as..? Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 - most of their dishes would benefit from thinner and more consistent slices. Our order of beef brisket had some that were super chewy just because the slice was thicker and required longer cooking time than others. The beef belly was fairly consistent as was the pork belly. The galbi beef tasted mostly of soy sauce and oil but was missing the sweetness from the brown sugar. Both the rice paper and radish paper were oddly thick. The kimchi wasn't marinated enough Ambience: 5/5 - the remodel of the store did wonders and the grills have been updated as well for hotter fires Service: 5/5 - all the servers are really nice and attentive. They stop by to check on us as they walk past Value for price: 1/5 - while the price has almost doubled, the meat quality has not improved. Unfortunately, this was our favorite cheap BBQ place previously but now it doesn't meet the quality nor price expectations anymore :(

My wife and I came to have dinner at 5pm with our 4 kids, waited forever to get first round of meats, then waited forever for 2nd round of meats, all the while still waiting for condiment. Bill came and suggested tip was 15% I circled no tip and gave the waiter $20 tip in cash, we got the receipt and they went ahead and charged me 20% when I circled no tip. That's just crooked and a form of thievery. Will never go here again. California already steals half my pay cheque .

First of all, this restaurant underwent a renovation and change of management which has made this place amazing now. The prior low reviews are all from 4-6 years ago. Come here for an amazing all you can eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ experience. The menu is limited to 6 items (beef brisket, beef belly, pork belly, beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, and spicy pork bulgogi). By having a small menu, they can keep prices very low (only $21.99 for a buffet as of March 2022)! The service was the first thing I noticed was exception. The servers checked on us several times and keep food flowing, banchan (side dishes) replenished, and waters topped off. The side dishes you can get are rice, rice noodle wraps, radish wraps, potato in a sweet sesame sauce, kimchi, spicy cucumber, and salad. We got the beef brisket, pork belly, and beef belly. The beef dishes were excellent. The meat was really tender and fresh, and the 3 dipping sauces of a sweet sauce, a spicy sambar, and a salt and sesame oil paired well with the beef. The meat had a good amount of fat on them as well which made it juicy. The pork belly was thick and so fatty that it melted in your mouth when you would eat it. Overall, this is an excellent, 5-star restaurant that has great service, great food, and a great price.
