    This place was great! Such a fun experience, with amazing food and super friendly people. The service was excellent, we ordered the combos and the pork belly and were not disappointed. Highly recommend this place. We went for a birthday and the atmosphere and experience was one of the best!

    I absolutely loved this spot! The price was great and the food was absolutely phenomenal! The poor server was overwhelmed with a full dining room, but she was doing a great job keeping up with everyone. The drink selection could use a little love, but I couldn’t complain at all. I will be back. Love that they’re open until 2am

    ⭐10 STARS ⭐ My boyfriend and I enjoyed our dinner at Korean Grill House SO much. The hostess was lovely and our server, Korea, was amazing. The staff really goes above and beyond to make your experience incredible by being friendly, fun, informative, and entertaining. Oh and the food, omgggg the food was so good! The whole place is cleaned beautifully (especially the restrooms) and the industrial look makes the atmosphere special. We cannot wait to go back.

    If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would! Everything was absolutely wonderful from the service to the atmosphere to the quality of food! My girlfriend and I decided to try here as we always pass by and love to try new restaurants often! We were SHOCKED at how much of a gem this place is and how long it took us to finally try it! The staff was so friendly and quick with their service that we never had to wait for anything! The quality of the food we ordered was amazing in both flavor and freshness! The biggest shocker to me was their wings! I got the mango habanero wings just for curiosity sake and was BLOWN away with how wonderful they were! My new go to wing place for sure! My girlfriend and I will be returning again and often as we were amazed by everything here! Cannot recommend them enough!

    Had an excellent experience! Highly recommended for late night dining and good vibes. Really awesome kbbq. We got there right at 1230 and we were greeted with smiles and hospitality. It was pretty quiet for a Friday night too. The waiter answered my 20thoudand questions without being condescending or annoyed. He recognized that it was our first visit and made a point to wow us. Our second waitress was just as courteous while cooking our food. She did offer to let us cook but we enjoyed the first time of allowing her to cook. We ended up devouring ALL of the food. We experimented and tried a bit of everything. The sticky rice was delicious. The wings were phenomenal. I will absolutely be back for those Korean fried wings 😋😋

    OH MY GOSH! That was probably the best meal I have ever had! When the pandemic hit, I developed a love for comics, specifically Korean comics. I'd started seeing trends; restaurants the characters ate at, common meals. I'd been wanting to try Korean BBQ but there are none really near our home. For our 13th wedding anniversary, my husband let me pick whatever I wanted to eat. Sadly, the first place we stopped at wasn't seating any longer that night. After a bit of a drive we ended up here. It must have been fate! The food. Is there a word that means better than amazing? If there is, that is what this was. The staff was amazing and wasn't offended when I told them that my only experience with Korean BBQ was thru comics and K-Dramas. We will definitely be back again!

    This place was so fun! I chose this restaurant for a my birthday dinner. I’m a fan of Korean dramas and the inside of this place looked like it came off the streets of Seoul! The food was DELICOUS! We got the spicy pork, thick cut pork, beef short rib and the bougogi for meat. We also ordered army soup, grape soju, Makoli, 10 soy garlic wings and 10 sweet spicy wings. Th e wings were SOOOOOO good! I also loved the spicy pork. The army soup was also amazing (perfectly spicy). We will definitely be back! It’s a little expensive. Our totally came out to $100 per couple with tip (so $50 a person). But it was a ton of food. We also could have run the bill a lot higher but we didn’t drink much. We were exploding by the time we left! I’ll be back for sure.

    If you haven’t been here yet, must try kbbq spot. The layout, atmosphere, you’ll definitely get that street food vibes feel. Ordered was 2 of their pre-fixed meat sets, 20 piece Korean fried chicken, and of course you have to do it right and pair it with soju. The meats cooked fresh on the grill was delicious, the wings, perfect amount of crunch, spicy, all so good. And the best part, you get Korea and his wife to join in for a cheers 🥂😋

    Uniquely decorated Korean BBQ house, It’s not all you can eat but it’s enough to fill your tummy with yummy pork belly, side dishes include kimchi pancake, radish kimchi, fermented bean stew, won bok kimchi, marinated garlic, pepper, fresh lettuce, vegetables salad and corn cheese with vegetables for dessert, fun atmosphere and very friendly and helpful. Cooked all the BBQ items for me, it was delicious!

    I've been going here for a long time now. They've got great quality meats, an authentic Korean atmosphere, and staff that really cares about their business and their customers. Don't be alarmed at the prices on the menu; the portions are meant to be shared and the cost will come out to about $30 per person by the end of the night. The bottom line is that this is the absolute best, most authentic Korean BBQ experience you'll find in the area. (Pro tip: If it seems like it's taking a while to get service, just click the little button hanging from the canopy above you, or just call them over. They're just letting you enjoy your time and will run right over if you give them a yell.)

    The hostess was extremely kind, helpful and provided excellent service. The KBBQ part was great and the fried chicken also felt really authentic. Everything about this place is about one of the best KBBQ experiences you can get.

    When we walked in the decor was awesomely unique and we were seated right away. The music was at a good level and the staff and servers are very friendly and the food was absolutely amazing with all the things that they provided. If you're looking for a good Korean barbecue restaurant that has good food, atmosphere and friendly people then look no further. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely go back again!!!! :)

    First time back at Korean Grill House since the remodel. A lot has changed such as the decor, foods, and style of Korean bbq. If you are looking for a cool place to eat at, this is the spot as they solely do charcoal grill, which adds extra flavor, and an a la carte menu. A lot different from the previous set up. The small dishes are pretty unique including the cheesy corn and scallion salad. They no longer have the japchae(which will be missed) or pork bulgogi. When I went, we ordered beef bulgogi and galbi. The charcoal is kinda scary if it pops up at you, but the flavor is pretty good. The food was going well until a miscommunication caused half the bulgogi to burn due to the temperature being ip too high and the bulgogi not being spread out enough. The decor is a industrial look with lots of metal and open space. I felt kind of exposed. Very different from before with the more private booths. Overall, the meal was alright. I really miss the old style of this place and their other food options that they no longer have. The redo is definitely nice, but very different. I do recommend this spot if you are looking for a unique and uppity experience.

    We went on a week day, there were less people but the experience was AMAZING! It was my second time at a Korean BBQ and the waitress knew this because thank goodness she kept checking up on us and even helped us cook the food. We really appreciated it and enjoyed ourselves. It was really good and will be back soon.

    5 stars all around! Such friendly staff, a fun atmosphere and great food. I had a drink and waited for my take out and was brought this delicious fresh popcorn. I even texted my out of town brother that we had to come next time he was here. Definitely stop by a hidden gem in upper Darby

    Food was amazing, service was phenomenal and atmosphere was quiet and yet hip. The food quality was good, and the waiter was super friendly and attentive. The newly renovated atmosphere makes ur feel like I are i. Nyc hip bar, or pojangmacha in Korea. Totally recommend. They serve alcohol and beef a la cart.

    Korea Kim has always been the most welcoming and nice when we go here; he has been here for 7-8 years. We used to have ayce nights years ago at this same location, with a different name, and haven't been back for four years. We were completely wowed by the experience. The seating section blocked out sunlight and had dining tent setups to transport us to a hypothetical "Pocha Street" in the Korean night life scene. The change to to-order kbbq model had a clear vision and food design that made everything we ate mind-blowingly delicious. Gam Ja Tang was stacked with meats to nibble on and soups to fill up. Corn cheese was a delicious pairing alongside Duk Bok Ki. We ordered the fixed meat set and the meats elevated one after another; the marinated shortribs melted in our mouths. What a wonderful place to spend for a friend's birthday, and so worth the money. We also had chicken feet and it was also a wonderful choice.

    we had a good time when we came here a few weeks ago! we came in on a quiet day and had great service and enjoyed our time even as initially we were the first ones there. the place is cute and has great ambiance and our server was really nice. the only reason why i deducted a star was because comparatively ive been to other korean bbq spots at a lower price point with more side options, but i would still return here.

    Service Was Terrible. My Fiancé & I Walked In & There Were Several Tables Seated But We Only Saw One Server So We Tried To Be Understanding Of The Fact That She Was Working Alone… We Stood There Waiting To Be Acknowledged & It Wasn’t Until A Group Of 3 Or 4 Asian Young Men Entered That An Employee Came From The Back & Acknowledged All Of Us (We Waited About 5-7 Minutes Before They Entered). Once Seated It Took Over 45 Minutes For Our Server To Come Over & Place Coal At Our Table. I Was Extremely Annoyed By This Because The Group Of Young Men Were Eating Their Food Before We Even Got Our Fire Started. & Then Because She Started It So Late We Had To Wait Even Longer For The Coal To Heat Up Enough For Use. To Top It All Off One Of The Servers Offered To Cook The Last Of Our Chicken & Meat For Us To Take Togo (we told her we would take it raw & cook ourselves because we don’t live far but she insisted) & She Burnt All Of It LOL. The Food Was Nothing Special & With The Poor Service We Received We Will Not Be Back. However, I Do Recommend The Black Raspberry Wine.
