The food is good but there is not a lot of choice of meat. The service was very quick. Unexpectedly at the end after we paid (we all left a tip) the server looked mad & threw away angrily our receipt. Like im sorry but you went once to refill water & you did not effort to communicate with us, don't expect a 20% tip for that. Anyhow overall it was good
I come here often because the food is delicious & the service is quick. I visited again yesterday, the food was as good as ever, but I was very disappointed with the service of the female staff member. She was visibly annoyed when I asked about the salad I ordered on the app. I waited 30 minutes & didn't see the salad & kimchi that came with my order, so I asked the staff. She looked irritated even though I explained very normally that I knew vegetables were expensive in winter, so we had to pay $1 for each salad, which wasn't a problem for me. Because for me, eating grilled food without vegetables loses 50% of its deliciousness. The service yesterday was very poor & I had a bad meal. I apologize for not tipping, but I was unhappy with the service yesterday. They gave me an incomplete order even though the restaurant wasn't as busy as usual. If it were busy, I would understand. But the staff were still chatting amongst themselves. There were missing orders, & not a single staff member cleared the empty plates. I was very disappointed with the female staff member yesterday. Normally I'm not very picky, but the attitude of that girl yesterday made me feel dissatisfied. I hope the team will improve. Thank you.
Our experience at Sota BBQ was incredibly disappointing. We were a large group with a reservation, but when we arrived, they sent us to the basement & split us into three separate tables far apart from each other-not ideal for a birthday dinner. To make matters worse, the basement was unbearably hot, leaving everyone sweating like we were in a sauna.
We arrived at 9:30 PM, a full 1.5 hours before closing, but they rushed us to order everything immediately because they claimed the kitchen was closing. For a Korean BBQ, this completely ruins the experience since the whole point is to order gradually as you eat. Instead, we were forced to make a massive order upfront, which was hard to gauge. Naturally, we ended up with too much food, & they quickly informed us we'd have to pay for any leftovers. It honestly felt like a setup to overcharge customers.
On top of that, they didn't bring many of the items we ordered, brought too much of others, & the food quality was mediocre at best. The chicken was questionable-neither looking nor tasting like chicken-& the sushi was on par with gas station sushi. They also never replaced the grill, even when it was full of burnt scraps, which every other Korean BBQ we've been to does automatically.
To make matters worse, they automatically added tips to our bills, which was not only unexpected but also felt inappropriate given the poor service. I'm not even sure if this is legal, but it was definitely not appreciated.
It was absolutely not worth $57. For that price, you'd expect much better food, service, & an overall experience. Instead, it felt like a complete ripoff.
I went yesterday night, it was a super busy night, but I still got my order very quickly. Good food & good service. Recommended✨
After reading the many negative reviews I was skeptical. Gave it a try anyway. Pros: Insanely quick service. We ordered by phone & items came within the minute at the fastest. Some of the items were pretty good such as the beef steak cuts & salmon pieces, hence we kept going back to them. Drinks are included. You get choices between sprite, ginger ale, coke … which is typically extra cost at separate places. Cons: the soup that was offered only came in small bowls rather than stone bowls as advertised on pictures. There is variety but the sushi has more rice than filling. I would really only stick with the meats & vegetables. Overall the standards for a good BBQ experience was met. I would recommend you give it a try.
Too distracted by eating to take good pics Service was super quick, but they missed a lot of our items. 40 minute wait time to get seated, a lot of people wait longer around dinner time. Sushi is done to order, & was surprised really great. Super solid meat, big recommend on the lamb & pork belly. Don't like how busy & loud this place is, & you're pretty squished in but I assume that's just what happens with popular places. That plus the missing items is what made me choose this rating.
Horrible. If you are used to good KBBQs, this isn't one you should try. The food was subpar, the sushi was honestly the worst i've ever had. The waiter reeked of sweat & every time he would come to my table i would get nauseous. Cant say the service was bad tho. Everything arrives very quickly to the table. The beef ribs were my favourite part! Still do not recommend going here.
Delicious food, all you can drink soda & the service is friendly & very quick, especially after switching to ordering through your phone!
Amazing Service, So quick, & so delicious. I will be back! good prices as well.
Food is Ok, normally I do not complain about what I eat, there are millions have no food to eat, but honest service is something I should mention. We went to that restaurant for my son birthday with 2 families of my friends (total 12 persons, 5kids & 7adults food is good, service is Ok, the servers are quick, but the toilet is very bad condition. You can make a small assumption on how good of a restaurant by looking how they manage their toilets, since you can only see the toilet not the cooking place. 😬😬😬 I asked for the bill, they quickly gave me the bill with service fees of 15%, which was added directly to my bill before tax is something not right. I added 15% of tip as a thankful for the servers who normally work with low payments (Normally I gave 20% for them, but this time service fee is something I do not like, mostly get by owner instead of workers). Then the lady seems to be the boss of restaurant said to me that I can have coupons for eating next times if I open my Google account & rates them 5 stars for all services. Then I said sorry, I do not need coupons anymore. You can play this tricks for other but not me. Btw, this is the second times I with my friends go to this restaurant, last time was December, & there were 5 families of 20 persons. I did not rate because I do not want to give lower stars. But this time, I am not happy with the coupons boosting for 5 stars service. I saw that the lady boss went around & traded other customers for 5 stars service. No, you can not buy my rate with that. They saw that I was not happy with coupons trade, then brought a small gift for my boy as a compensation , 3 coups of ice-cream in a special glass with a candle for him. It makes him happy. What a smart way. 👍👍👍. (These ice-cream are free in the menu anyway). Normally I do not rate, but I have to rate this time to give an honest opinion, rather than seeing a faked 5 stars all services. Then you can not trust the recommendation from Google anymore.
We were a groupe of 7 & we had a wonderful time. The food was great & plentiful. The service was quick & the waiters were kind.
