This place had amazing chicken!!! Usually at places like this we tend to stay away from the chicken as they're boring, but this was completely different. Their marination was so delicious that we asked for a little bit of it on the side to marinate shrimp (it caught them off guard but they accommodated us! . Overall, great food and excellent service.

Visited the Vaughan location for a second time. The food was good and the restaurant was clean. Service has improved since our first visit but there is still room for improvement. Like bringing out the tofu, reddish and other side dishes first like other locations. But once we got rolling everything went smoothly. Food has been consistently good. Staff was friendly and helpful and we see things are progressing for the better. We will definitely be back to visit the same location.

Food was delicious. Atmosphere was really nice, the place itself was beautiful!! The service was good, but I feel like a lot of things were forgotten or very late after they brought some of it. This could definitely be because we had a decent sized party, so no fault to the wait team. Will say though, it was very expensive for a bill for 4 people. TONS of food though, but still pretty pricy..

The decor and atmosphere was nice. However I wouldn't go back because of the time limit on seating. For such a nice place and high end prices, the time limit is a complete turn off. The minute you walk in, the host let's you know that you have 90 minutes for the table! It completely ruined my experience, I was conscious about how much time we had left to cook our food. The grill alone takes like a good 10 minutes to warm up and if you take into consideration how long they take to serve you, it makes the whole experience very stressful. I really don't recommend this place for families or large groups, you have to rush through your meal and to top it all off they never bring you the correct items that you mark down on the sheets.

The meat quality isn't good. Unlike K-Grill there is no dipping sauce that you can dip your meat in after it's cooked, you have to ask for a specific sauce in order to season your meat a bit. The meat options seem to be less post-covid compared to before also the side dishes seemed to be limited.
