If I could give this place zero stars I would ! Please don't believe the hype The food is just ok however most menu items lack flavor and seasoning . But even worse was the service that was provided by Leo who was unfortunately our server. He was rude and dismissive. You could barely hear what he was saying. Being our first (and last) time here it would have been nice if he would have given us any type of greeting and a brief overview of how their AYCE worked . He seemed bother by our request for more kimchi and water it was 83 degrees inside and we had a flame in the middle of our table so yes we were warm and thirsty. At the end of our meal we asked for more spinach he said as he was walking away that we must be really hungry ....no we were just attempting to find something we liked so we could get our monies worth . There were 3 of us and we all purchased the A.Y.C.E Supreme and 2 beers and a gratuity of 18 percent was automatically added even for a party of 3 he didn't deserve any tip. Our total was $177.00 dollars which was a complete waste of money. He overcooked the beef and kept informing us if we didn't eat our meat we would be charged which we understood and didn't need multiple reminders. He did not even offer us the fried rice and we had to request the soup and egg which all came with the meal . The entire dinning experience was miserable and he made us feel out of place and uncomfortable . Please spend your hard earned money somewhere else, there are much better Korean BBQ restaurants that value customers this one does not. I dine out frequently and I am always happy to reward good service, this was by far the worse service I've ever received , if Leo doesn't want to serve a diverse clientele he should get another job ! Please don't waste your time or money find a place that appreciates all customers and is equipped to provide a pleasant dinning experience.

I'm a bit pork belly fan, this is one of the only spots ill go non-ayce for. I love the quality and variety of flavors you get with the special tasting menu for the pork belly

Exceptional BBQ in Koreantown. Even with smoke in your eyes you can see that Eight is really good Korean BBQ. It’s everything you expected in coming to place like this, good and authentic. They have a wide selection of good quality meats and vegetables. A great spot for groups due to their classic giant beers and flavorful sojus. This is a definite destination place for any foodie wanting to experience Korean BBQ at its finest. Outside of Korea of course. Dos BBQs up ????????

Solid Korean BBQ place in K-Town if you want to like Pork Belly! My favorite flavor was the Red Pepper Paste and the soup was amazing! The wait isn't too long because there are so many Kbbq places in K-Town that goes dumb... But don't sleep on Eight because they're pretty solid too.

Fantastic service, delicious food, generous serving sizes. Four of us split combo C (3-4 people estimated serving size) with plenty still left at the end and we all have decent appetites. I could have the kimchi stew every day, it's so delicious!

This place constantly provides good quality meat and food, and the service is really good. We ordered the Combo A having the signature 8-flavored pork.

There are probably a thousand kbbq spots in ktown but I'd consider Eight to be in my top 5.
The food is consistently good. The quality of the meat is always always great. The side dishes and soups also are delicious. And also the price is really reasonable.
This last time I went, I shared the combo C with 3 others and it was the perfect amount of food. We were actually stuffed at the end! The combo C comes with brisket, bulgogi, thin sliced pork belly, and thick pork belly. It also comes with a stew, which they use to make fried rice at the end. All of the meats and sides were lovely.
Service is always good when I come to eight which is one of the reasons why I love this place. Servers are always attentive, polite and really friendly. The service is what makes me want to keep going back.
They also have a ALL YOU CAN DRINK special right now. It's all you can drink soju and beer for a dollar per person. How amazing is that!! The catch, there's a 45 minute drinking limit and each person has to spend $25 minimum on food. Other than that this is a amazing deal so I'd say go while it lasts.

Really good service, they help you cook the bbq! Love their flavors and uniqueness. Their 3-4 definitely is more on the 4-4.5 side! They have so many flavors and so much to eat. Highly recommended here than an all you can eat.

The specialty or what is famous here is their 8 flavors of Pork. Each has unique flavors and taste. Must try, it is a lot of food, especially for a party of two. The kimchi fried rice they make for you at the end, is good. There wasn't much wait, if you come early, after it was super packed. Lack of customer service, took a while to get seated.

The food & service were awesome! They cook the meat for you at your table. We had the 8 Flavors Of Pork Belly and the meat was very flavorful & tender. I really liked the wine, garlic, miso & red pepper paste flavors. The seafood soup was good as well. The bf & I had the combo and had so much left overs. It definitely feeds 4. We'll definitely be back.
