   Food was amazing! So many incredible flavors and options. Tables were large to accommodate all the dishes and we didn’t feel like we were crammed into a booth. Server described each of the items and provided just the right level of attention throughout the meal. Prices were bit high for the area but matched the quality and quantity of the food and ambiance. This restaurant is a great addition to our community and I hope it continues to succeed.

   10/10 experience. Cannot wait to go back. Food was excellent. We did the dinner for two and it was waaaay too much food but worth it for the try! Priced very well and I’m looking forward to bringing friends but also great for a date night.

   They charge too much for the portion size. Most korean restaurants give you twice the amount of food for what you got here

   Very good experience. Joy was very helpful guiding us through the menu and explaining the various dishes we ordered. She checked on us regularly to be sure everything was satisfactory. It was a very good experience and we enjoyed the food very much.

   Eating here was an experience! The presentation was very good. The hot food was hot and the cold dishes were cold We had a reservation for 1:30, the last lunch reservation offered. We were the only customers so needless to say we had excellent service.

   We enjoyed our experience at Mother's Apron Korean BBQ. Service : We were a little disappointed in our waiter.; not overly friendly or attentive, nothing bad but not great. Food: We enjoyed our appetizers of potstickers and Truffle steak. Loved the Truffle Steak presentation, but wished it had more steak and slices vs what appeared to be shredded steak. The flavors were great on the Truffle steak (maybe hit it with a little more truffle oil...?). Potstickers were solid, but could have used a different sauce to stand out vs soy sauce in a dish that made it difficult to dip. My wife had the appetizer Spicy Squid with Korean Angel Hair for her entree. It is a lot of food for an appetizer, let alone for an entree. Please cut back on the amount of pasta and make the spicy squid the star. Great flavors, but way too much pasta. I had Pork Bulgogi. It was delicious. Fantastic flavors and oh so tender. It was definitely the star of the meal! Our friends had the Beef for 2. The Beef for 2, the Beef Bulgogi and the Short Rib were over cooked, a little tough and dry as well, especially the short rib, but the flavor was good. This came with a huge assortment of side dishes that were not explained adequately. Please cut back on the side accompaniments.Not all of them are needed and a lot of food went to waste as a result. You can eliminate the crab legs. Too hard to get any crab out of the leg, very messy and the flavor was very fishy. Some of the other sides could use improvements as well. Not sure if I would go back (more because not a huge fan of Korean Cuisine), but we loved the ambiance of the restaurant. I would suggest you order the entrees for one as it is the right amount of sides (still a lot), and easier to enjoy. I would definitely recommend people to try it and support our local ethnic restaurant cuisine!

    The best Korean cuisine I’ve had. My husband and I shared the beef HANJEONGSIK, and it did not disappoint. So fun to try all of the different kimchis and side dishes. And the service was lovely. Our waitress was so attentive and really took time to explain all of the dishes to us. Will definitely be a return customer!
