Excellent quality meats for Korean bbq. It's just that simple. Service was also very good which is a big plus as the servers are quite proactive about ensuring the meats are cooked to your liking. It's a place for authentic Korean bbq lovers. Can get a tad smoky inside but not overwhelming and just shows the popularity of the place. The place has its own parking lot which is a plus, although it does fill up during peak times.

Oh my goodness. I was the only Caucasian in the place, which is always a vote of confidence. Every dish was magnificently prepared, and superb, from the radish pickles to the several kinds of meat, grilled at the table by a very skilled staff member to the many so tasty side dishes. Your wallet may be in a state of shock, but the rest of you will be delighted.

Great experience and has drive-in parking lot. If you get here after 6 on a weekend, expect a bit of a wait - you get a buzzer to sit in your car with. Favorite of the 3x visits is the large intestine / daechang and pork platters. While beef is as good as any other kbbq spots, the Wooga servers really like to char and crisp every piece of pork belly or jowl to a wonderful degree. The fermented kimchi thrown on the grill is also a nice touch you don't see much at other kbbq spots. Ban chan is good, the soups are tasty, have no complaints from multiple visits.

One of the best KBBQs in the area. Good portions and great service. Made the 40 minute wait well worthwhile. The staff are so efficient and attentive with refilling the banchan. We will be putting this place in our rotation for sure!

I give this a 3.5. We have been before, and I do feel like the quality of the meat is decreasing. Maybe they were having an off day. I would have easily given this place a 5 for our first visit over a year ago. Our second visit earlier this year, a 4-star and when we dined recently, I was let down and would rate this at 3.5 out of 5. Since that's not an option on that, I am rounding up for the good of the restaurant. Starting with the good. It's always quick to get a seat during the week. The team is very attentive to get your orders in and get you fed quickly, which I greatly appreciate. they are also very generous with their sides, and they are really delicious. We also love their cheese and corn appetizer, delicious! For the beef, we split a combo for two, and were disappointed with the New York strip. Was dry, lacked flavor, and had hard muscle that didn't make the meat the most pleasant bites. If we hadn't paid $100 for the meat combo, I would have left it there. The short rib and the skirt steak were better. Hanger was ok, not as good as I remember. After dinner, I was in the mood for something sweet. I asked for the pineapple sorbet. When they brought it, I tried a small bite and it was not edible. It did not have the consistency of sorbet and tasted like cardboard (sorry to say). No pineapple flavor at all. I left the entire dessert there. When I asked for that to be taken off of the bill (sorbet is $9, the rest of our bill was $120 pre-tip), the server kindly asked the manager and they said no. That feels really wrong and was a very disappointing response from the establishment after spending $120 on our meal. You can't spare $9 to address food quality not being up to par? On the receipt, I asked them to try the sorbet themselves, so they can see what I was talking about. My advice to you is, go get your dessert somewhere else. Aside from that, the rest of the experience was good. I would recommend people to give it a try and try different cuts of meat.

Food was pretty good, we got the combo for three and that was enough to try out everything. The pork jowl and pork belly were especially good. The beef was also amazing, definitely recommend on choosing a combo to get more bang for your buck and to try out more. Service was amazing, they were fast with every request. Overall it was a good experience, but the price point is definitely higher. The restaurant is beautiful and clean, very simple. For me, it's not worth for the price since there are cheaper places with larger quantities of meat and equal quality. Still good to try!

Great Korean BBQ! I think they changed their name from 1080. Excellent meats and Pam Chan side dishes. Tender beef. Great pork. Excellent crab. Well worth the money - takes about 80 minutes to feast!

I came here on a Friday evening at 6:30PM and wasn't surprised to see the restaurant already hustling and bustling! My party of four had to wait around 15 mins before getting seated. We ordered the WOOGA special for five which included the prime rib eye, short rib, hanger steak, rib finger, pork shoulder, belly, and jowl. This also included four sides total, so we opted for the kimchi soup and the steamed eggs. The bonchon was also tasty and had plenty of variety! The service was great as they cooked the meat for us and were very attentive. If your group has an appetite like mine, the special for five is actually perfect for four people. The pork towards the end was also very fatty which wasn't our taste, but that's just nitpicking at this point. The price point is on the higher end, but for the quality of meat, it's worth it once in awhile. I'd love to come back!

Be prepared to wait for a table on the weekend. It gets packed and the wait time usually is 40 mins but you'll likely get seated before then. I was worried I'd smell like kbbq leaving since you cook right on the table and there isn't really a filtration. Needless to say I left my sweater in the car. We skipped the kbbq and went for entrees instead tonight and it was good but could be better. We got 3 entrees. Hot stone octopus - really lacking on the octopus. There was barely any. For $25 you'd expect some more but there's only sliced cabbage and onions and carrots mostly. The spicy red paste was the kicker and saving grace. Spicy rice cake- great! This has 2 dumplings, 2 onion rings, lots of fish cakes, lots of Tteok-bokki, and loads and loads of cheese. I'd reorder this one. Kimchi fried rice- this was too mushy. The egg at the bottom was alright and wasn't too flavorful. I'd prefer the egg soufflé instead. Pass. Next time I'll just order the small beef for two.
