This was where my god daughter had her confirmation dinner. This was the first time I have eaten at this restaurant. The food was good. I would eat again at this restaurant. It was all you can eat. Anything on the menu you picked. Salad was very fresh and dressing was very light and tasty. The meats that we ordered, were cooked on the grill and very tasty. The only thing I can suggest, I wish the sauce that the meats were marinated in were a bit sweet. We did have dessert. I wish they had pineapple, so we can grill. We did have onions and mushrooms. When we ordered additional sauces, meats and refills. I had to request for the oil and salt refill many times. The workers work hard. And are very pleasant. I would go to this restaurant again. I was not able to take photos of this restaurant, because I was enjoying the food and conversations.

Update since my last review a few months ago... We came on a weekday night, so even though there weren't a lot of guests, it was a bit understaffed. We waited a bit before someone came to the counter to set us up with a clean table. Staff are friendly as always. The seats were oily though, and I had to use a napkin to clean off the surface and remove an old piece of meat sticking to it. It's a little dark inside, so just check your surroundings before putting your stuff down. Overall food was good. Again, banchan is a bit bland and if you want hot tea or water, you have to ask for it. If you expect to compare this to other "more authentic" Korean BBQ places, don't. You won't find hot barley tea or anything here. Just treat this as a nice local experience. Staff here were kind to bring us hot water for older guests who are used to drinking hot beverages. Bring your own tea to steep if you want something other than Lipton. Definitely much more chill on the weekdays! Enjoyed dinner with my family. Thanks for having us :)

We were there not long after they opened (I'm doing some review catch up). Ordinarily this would have been a three star experience, but my issues were due to the newness of the place. The menu is worth some study as I'm not that familiar with Korean cuisine. The food was quite good though -- although I felt it was expensive. They switched servers on us after 20 minutes or so. I don't know why, but our first server continued on shift with other guests. Both servers were fine, it just made us feel like an afterthought. The dining experience was good, but we were a little unclear about what to expect from our server vs doing on our own. My main issue, though, is the price. It was a good but expensive meal.

Excellent. That is all. Oh yea, some details, sorry... So we opted for the shaved brisket, soy chicken, pork steak, pork belly, and bugagi. Yes, yes yes, ALL EXCELLENT. The grilling method provides a nice seer and since you (mostly) do the cooking, you control the level of seer. The accoutrements (condiments) are nice and varied. Con? The water served is room temp, and they don't treat your meat sweats... All in all, yea, excellent, highly recommended. Try it, you'll forget Red Robin was ever here.

Restaurant is empty. Told it's a half hour wait. I literally show him OpenTable and every single slot is open. The guy at the front then says still have to wait. I look into the dining room. No people at all more than half the table are empty. What the heck kind of customer service is this?? Absurd. Let's see how the meal goes Literally made reservation in front of the guy and said ok I have a reservation. He's like no. I can't seat you still. Have to wait.

Did a group dinner to try it out. In general I like the place. I think we allowed ourselves to eat at a little faster pace than I would prefer and I would try a broader range of proteins next time. There was a bit of a language barrier with the server- not bad just a bit harder to communicate effectively. I don't think there is an option for barbecue of this caliber anywhere close to the Exton area. Worth a visit .

To be completely honest I had mentally set a pretty low bar as most ayce korean bbq places are subpar at best but O2 pleasantly surprised me. We went her (koreans) for my mothers birthday and enjoyed most of the flavors and meats. Would be happy to return. Our server was a bit blunt but it did not ruin the experience.

The O2 of PA. One of the better kbbq spots has finally landed in the neighborhood. The food is good as expected. All the cuts of meat from the beef brisket to marinated beef (kalbi) all on point. You can't go wrong with any cuts. The service is still working progress. It's weird to be ordering in English though... I'm used to ordering everything in Korean to the server so my brain fogged up. The place is newly renovated so nice and clean. The air is a bit stifling with smoke; kinda hope they had better ventilation system. Make sure you don't bring anything in that you do not want smelling like meat smoke. The major differences between this location and the other two: The grill is not the signature round black cast iron lid. It's the classic small one so surface area for cooking is a bit smaller The other is the portions that they bring out. I think this is also part of the working progress of understanding how portions work. For example; I am a beef brisket fiend. I asked for like 8 servings from the get go but.. they just looked at me confused. Could be a portion control thing but, my fat butt knows what it wants so kinda hoped they just gave me everything at once so I didn't have to bother them over and over again. I'm actually trying to do them a favor if you think about it... Overall; great. I love that this is within reach now. I am going to be broke and fat(ter)

More like 3.5 stars. I was there for lunch today. Overall, it's a decent dining experience, but nothing makes you "wow". Service is friendly and attentive, restaurant ambience is upbeat, meat choice is okay for the price range. What I don't like is: 1) side soup is nothing like what it says on the menu--I ordered "beef soup" and there's ZERO beef in my soup, only several thin slices of turnip; 2) the side "steamed egg" is too salty; 3) marinated meat and chicken are drowning in the sauce so the flavor is overwhelmingly tangy; 4) ventilation is weak so my clothes smelled "greasy" after I finished lunch. It's worth trying if you're nearby, but I don't think I'll make another trip for it.
