At Kook, we are CRAZY about BBQ and we are here to set a new standard to your Korean BBQ experience. Serving only premium meats, every table is equipped with the Rolls-Royce
of smokeless grills (Shinpo Systems). The restaurant is perfectly air balanced with the best ventilation system to ensure you smell the same way you came in.

We want to ensure that we please your eyes as much as your taste buds. Our interior design is themed around the ancient five core elements (Gold, wood, water, fire, earth). From our golden ring of banchan to the cherry wood bench you are sitting on, you will find this theme throughout our restaurant. Let our energy channel your inner chef to take control and cook, or simply sit back and let our BBQ experts take over.

Our dedicated team is here to serve you with one goal in mind:
“A Korean BBQ dining experience you won’t soon forget!”

We got the meal for 4 and it was plenty of food. Best Korean bbq experience ever. If you go early, the room is pretty quiet with lots of families that don’t talk much. It got much louder later in the evening.

The food was mediocre. The attempt to be authentic was there but the taste was not. the service was mediocre at best. If you are familiar with and like Korean BBQ you are better off going somewhere else.

The service was excellent. The servers first confirmed how much we knew about the bbq process and proceeded to provide both the instructions and the utensils to bbq ourselves, which itself was fun. Another server explained all the side dishes including which were hot and which were not....essential! Good sauces and the marinated meats were very tasty. Next time, we'll mix soju and beer to make Somaek.

Second time there and had a good meal once again. The waiters/waitresses were nice and attentive even though they were super busy so I really appreciate that. We were celebrating my friends birthday and it was his first time at the restaurant. He said he would definitely come back. We ended the night with the delicious korean cinnamon drink that is good for digestion..my favourite! The refill banchan, the waiters starting off the bbqing for us..just reminded me of the best korean bbq I had in LA. Will be back!

Heard about the 15 side dishes and wanted to try this korean bbq as we normally go to Gyu Kaku. Out of the 15 side dishes, you really only eat maybe 5-6 of them and they are OK. The pork belly was not on menu for us to cook as there was a fire last week. The meat were really tasteful. Service was great
