This food is spectacular, the waiters are marvelous and always attentive, they always know how to make you laugh. This place is authentic and classy. Visit zen if you want to have a good dinner.

Diner Review №2

Disaster of a restaurant!Came here for dinner, but instead of decent service, I got total chaos. The waitstaff is completely incompetent—either they forget orders, bring the wrong dish, or just act like you don’t exist. One of them dropped a fork on the table, picked it up, and placed it back like nothing happened! Another one just ignored my table until I had to get up and find him myself.For these prices, you’d expect at least some basic respect for customers, but they clearly don’t care. Never coming back and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

Diner Review №3

Terrible service and a complete mess!
This restaurant is a nightmare. The waitstaff is lazy, slow, and rude. I waited over 40 minutes for my order, even though the place was almost empty. When the food finally arrived, it wasn’t even what I ordered. When I asked the waiter to fix it, he just sighed in annoyance and walked away. My water had some kind of debris in it, and the utensils were dirty.It feels like the staff couldn’t care less about their customers. If you don’t want to ruin your evening, stay far away from this place!

Diner Review №4

Terrible service! I’ve been here twice, and both times the same waitress (dark-skinned with braids, short, barely speaks English) was rude, disrespectful, and completely ruined the experience. This kind of attitude towards customers is unacceptable! The food is decent, but no meal is worth such awful service. Never coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

Diner Review №5

Wow, the food here was really, really awesome - I had Thai green curry w tofu and my wife had waygu and lobster roll - everything was so so great. And nice casual atmosphere not too fancy. Definitely coming back.

One of our favorite places to eat.

Update: It had been a while since our last visit. We were disappointed with the food we ordered as it was clear that their standards have changed.

Diner Review №11

No wait, large menu, Korean table BBQ, service was prompt, kind, very helpful!! The food was not AYCE but super tasty and enough to fill up. It made for a super pleasant evening.

Diner Review №12

Excellent Sushi at affordable prices. Friendly staff in a cozy environment. We had the AYCE at $30. Wish it had a few non sushi items.

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

The food was so fresh and the waitress was so great about handling my daughter’s food allergy. Will visit again for sure!

Diner Review №15

Service was great. Our waiter was very nice and quick. The food was delicious so this may be my new favorite. Atmosphere was nice. Overall a must try!

Diner Review №16

While Zen Asian BBQ doesn't look like much and located in a questionably looking strip mall, the food was surprisingly very good. We had various appetizers (dumplings, wagyu beef, etc.) and they were all very tasty. We also had a number of rolls (most of which were pretty good) and some sushi and sashimi (fish was fresh and of better quality than many other places we visited in Naples). Crispy duck was exceptional. So, overall, it was a solid dinner for a reasonable price. Service was decent as well. I am fairly sure we will return.

Diner Review №17

super cozy & underground restaurant, food was spectacular, really captures the spirit of asian bbq, the meats were tender & the sushi was immaculate. i highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №18

Do yourself a favor and go to Ember in Fort Myers. It’s 1000 times better. Portion size, atmosphere and service all 1000 times better.

Diner Review №19

Very good food,thank you

Diner Review №20

A pretty cosy restaurant, however, I have a few complaints:
1) The boba was really just a milkshake with very mid tapioca pearls
2) It took SUPER long to get our food
3) The ramen tasted kind of weird

Diner Review №21

The worst kbbq/"asian" restaurant I've ever been to. My table ordered a few appetizers to start which were all overpriced for what was served, a bland, unseasoned mess of ingredients and repurposed frozen foods, The potstickers where soggy and slimey, the crab ragoons had no crab and generic off the shelf chili sauce, the rock shrimp were not even rock shrimp, and the takoyaki had a ketchup based sauce and a gross almost tartar sauce "mayo?" and it set just a horrid standard that didn't get any better.

Our table ordered the wagyu board for our main course, and I ordered the drunken ramen, both of which had many clear issues. To start, the drunken ramen I guess lives up to its name because the kitchen must have been multiple bottles in to serve such an abysmal dish. The noodles were clearly straight out of a package, extremely greasy and sticky in the worst way possible, with zero flavor to be found and accompanied by raw onions, uncooked green bell peppers, which are bitter and once again, not seasoned, and sprinkled throughout is overcooked little leather scraps of beef.

The wagyu corse was fine, very overpriced at 169$ for a board of what I can guess was previously frozen meat, as it was extreamly dry with obvious discoloration allong all of the edges, and the accutramon that accompanied was all store bought already made pickeled veggies and watermelon for some odd reason?

The service gets a pass as it was very busy and a holiday, but they were still very inattentive.

oh, and the boba was horrible and basically water with more ice than anything else.

I honestly don't feel like writing anything more than this as I feel I've already given this place more of my time and money than they ever deserved. yikes.

It’s very nice place! Meat is so fresh!!

Diner Review №26

Great ramen

Diner Review №27

Great place, great food and great service.

Diner Review №28

By far our favorite Ramen place in SWFL. We have been going at least once a month for the last 3 or 4 years.

Our whole family enjoys it and we've celebrated special events and the staff has always been welcoming and attentive.

We recommend to anyone that will listen.

Diner Review №29

Good curry we will return extra charge for additional rice unnecessary .

Diner Review №30

Very nice place to take the wife out on a date.

Diner Review №31

Love the place. Great menu, awesome location, and ambiance.

Diner Review №32

Was very happy with everything we had at Zen! Great flavors, portions, and variety of options.

The bao buns were not the best I have had, but the duck filling was tasty!

Diner Review №33

Great cooked and raw Japanese. Good korean. Have not tried thai. Been here many times and will continue.

Diner Review №36

My family and I LOVE this place! Service is always friendly and staff make excellent recommendations. We love the BBQ (get the bulgogi!!), Kobe beef fried rice, spicy tuna crispy rice and brussel sprouts. My kids (7 & 10) enjoy cooking their own food on the grill. Also great for a date night away from the kids : )

Diner Review №37

I have worst experience in this restaurant. When we came in, the person set in front area left side, he didn't care we were inside restaurant. I was not sure he was a manager or not. After sitting, We ordered foods, it was terrible tuna tataki and some other foods. I have been working long time as a sushi chef. I didn't know why I visited this restaurant. Of course, i did regret. Normally, I didn't wrote the reviews but this was serious not right. I do want to pay right cost and they must make right foods. I won't be this restaurant again.

Diner Review №38

Had been coming here for years but this most recent time getting seafood ramen delivered, it came with 2 medium shrimps, 1 scallop and 2 squid ring, how’s this what advertised, where is the crab, it’s definitely not worth the price, not recommended

Diner Review №42

Service was slow but good.

Diner Review №43

Always a pleasure going! My favorite dish is the Drunken Ramen! Very cozy atmosphere and a great place to hang out! The boba is also very good! Also highly recommend the brussel sprout appetizer as I gobble it up every time lol

Diner Review №44

Absolutely amazing! Our favorite place to eat and bring family and friends to! The service is top notch, and the food is incredible!

Diner Review №45

This is our favorite place to go for date night! The food is phenomenal and the service is outstanding. Small business, quaint atmosphere. Bee is always great!

Diner Review №46

This is not a Korean BBQ! I was excited to go there as I am Korean and live in Korea part of the year. This is some Thai restaurant. It tastes nothing like Korean BBQ. It was not good.

I don’t know what their Thai food is like but I was disappointed with the BBQ

Korean food is gaining popularity and so many restaurants try to pass.themselves as a Korean restaurant. This is not a Korean restaurant

Diner Review №47

Terrible service, unclean, frozen waygu. Do not waste your money or time!

Diner Review №48

I love the Korean Bibimbap. I usually order for takeout but it is better at a table. Service is excellent from the owner to the wait staff

Diner Review №49

Very good service, with food that’s ridiculously good. Loved having a sake bomb for the first time too.
I had a really nice dinner with my girlfriend that came from out of town.

We got there around 7:45ish, we took a little longer than usual because we did get the bbq option. We had the ribeye and bulgogi (both delicious options) and the sides that came along, most notably the kimchi and the beansprouts were really good pairings. The Japanese beer [Asahi] i had was refreshing and hit the spot. My girlfriend had a glass of sauvignon blanc and she really enjoyed it too. It was a great evening until we got to about 20 mins til close, we were wrapping up and had a few sliced of bulgogi to go, one of the staff came up to us reminding us that they close at 9. No problem there because like i said we were finishing up. I was cooking the last of what we had with time to spare, and we got our grill turned off by the kitchen, I know this because I overheard it. So we thanked them, paid and left. That last part of the dinner service was a little upsetting.
10/10 Food, 20/10 service tho.
We will be back to this gem of a place.

Diner Review №50

Was not a fan of the dim sum flavors but the beef bulgogi entree was great. The meat was well marinated, sliced thin with little to no fat. Service was friendly and prompt

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

Great service and great food! Everything is always fresh and hot. Our personal favorites are the tropical dragon roll and the beef drunken noodles, but you really can't go wrong with any dish here. Highly recommend!

Muy bonito lugar agradable para pasar en familia

Diner Review №62

Perhaps they were having an off day but it was enough for us to never return. We were excited to try their dim sum menu and more after seeing their restaurant featured on an Instagram. We were the 4th table to walk-in after opening at noon. We were greeted in Spanish and seated right away. Water was brought out. It took 20 minutes to order and another 20 minutes to see food start to come through. Some of the shrimp dim sums tasted off. One of the entrees were wrong and we were pretty much blamed for ordering the wrong thing (husband is a chef and attentive--we did not order the wrong thing). They put in the right order for the wrong entrée and instead of prioritizing this mistake, they waited until everyone else in the restaurant received their food. Therefore, I ate (and shared) while we waited for the proper meal for my partner. The bulgogi fried rice is to avoid. Paper thin "beef" that even jerky would have been better on the plate. An hour and a half from when we sat down, we were still waiting for the second meal and the check. The check came out with the wrong entrée still on there. Finally, we left with my partner's meal to go. Other tables got up and left without eating while we were there. Maybe they weren't staffed accordingly or did not expect to be as busy as they were. To top it off, we all have very, very upset stomachs as of late afternoon and through the next day.

Diner Review №63

When we arrived, we were seated and given water. We had to ask for menus and then we waited 30 minutes to place our order (we ordered several different dim sum items). It took another hour to get any type of food item. After waiting for another 20 minutes (it has now been over an hour and a half since we placed the order) we were brought our soup dumplings and they were raw in the middle. We received an apology and no other mention of the food item. After close to two hours of being in the restaurant we still did not have all of our food and we were unable to even finish the meal due to fear of undercooked foods. Several tables left before they placed their order. We left cash and left. So disappointed.

Diner Review №64

Great place to go for a mix of Asian food. Love that we can all get what we want. Consistent, and tasty.

Diner Review №65

Very great service and an extremely friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoyes japonese or korean style food.

Diner Review №66

It is a very small place but it is always busy. I haven’t tried their Korean/Japanese BBQ for a while but their ramen is the best from the area. Loved their gyoza, tempura veggie, sushi rolls and more.

Diner Review №67

Excellent spot for a sit down meal in a good atmosphere

Diner Review №68

First time eating here. The inside atmosphere was not that good at the beginning they need to do some renovations but the food was very good 👍

Diner Review №69

So according to them those bean sprouts are good and not spoiled. Claim to have 2 jumbo shrimps but my take out only has 1 for 30$ you expect more quality and at least the actual 2 shrimps. Only reason i give them 2 stars is because inhave dinned in before and never had an issue like this. Also cant return my food according to them because i already picked it up also am to sick with the cold to go back to get my refund denied so be aware to look at your food before you leave broth was a bit salty but good but those bean sprouts are deffinitly spoiled. Not sure if i will be back, if i do i will dine in. Hokaido is overpriced yet i still tipped 15% for coming out of my house sick to come home to this thanks a lot.

Diner Review №70

Great food. Very authentic. good portions and fair value.

Great place to eat Korean BBQ. Large selection of meat and seafood for the grill. Super friendly service, and you can try many different Sake and Asian beers. The only missing items are lettuce leaves to wrap the grilled meat.

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №82

Amazing ramen

Diner Review №83

First time eating Korean bbq— it was so good! The place had a nice vibe and great service. We also tried the gochujang wings and sushi. All fresh and super good.

For k bbq, we chose the ribeye and spicy chicken. The sides were included and tasty. 10/10 recommend!

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

We did Korean BBQ and it was fantastic!

Diner Review №86

Great service and the food was amazing!! We had the ribeye, waygu short rib and pork bulgogi. Will definitely be back soon.

Diner Review №87

I ordered a crab fried rice with shrimp and the food was delicious, however it was full of tiny pieces of crab shell. Everybite I took I had to spit some of it out. I gave up after about 5 bites. Fortunately grubhub refunded my order. It's my first time ordering this dish and I am disappointed and hungry watching everyone else eat dinner. First time getting a bad meal from here. I will order this again next time to give them a second chance, however if it's the same problem we will never order from here again and we spend a lot of money here regularly.

Diner Review №88

I was surprised about this hidden gem. The food was deliciously rich in flavor and the service was rich in attentiveness. I would give it a shot and taste for yourselves.

Diner Review №89

Excellent, excellent!! One of our favorites. Dependable service, friendly atmosphere and delicious food. And enough can’t be said about our favorite waitress, Bea. Have been many times, and never been disappointed.

Diner Review №92

Can’t speak to their in restaurant dining, but would not recommend for carry out. The last two orders we’ve placed, via their website, have been messed up. The last time they gave us someone else’s order and we didn’t realize it till we got home. The customer service we received in trying to get our actual order was sub-par at best.

Update** i havent tried something that isnt delicious here. The sushi and wagyu is amazing.** Update* I just found out you can order from them directly now for delivery!* The experience was great. They were very attentive and caring. We had the bok choy and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back just for that. The #1 Ramen was also amazing. The spicy edamame was spicy and flavorful!!! We also had the demon slayer sake which was recommended, and very smooth, not sweet. We had the drunken watermelon for dessert lol it was refreshing. 😀 we went around 730pm. Pho caught my eye. Great energy and amazing art. Looks very clean. They did a great job. Thank you 😊

I wish I could give 6 stars! The service with smiles is unmatched. And the food is heavenly.

Diner Review №101

Everything dirty. Poor higiene and terrible customer service. The grills very greasy asked waiter to change and they refuse to provide a clean one. Healthy wise is a big No.

Diner Review №102

Just a note that BBQ is not all you can eat because we thought it was before we came, which is fine as long as the food is good. Food is good overall! I think you will want to skip the boba if you wanna try, we tried and it might be the worst boba we’ve ever had..and i had tons of gallons of boba in my life.

Diner Review №103

Food wasn’t bad . Tad pricey but a good time. Although, was a tad annoyed that it is not posted that gratuity is included anywhere. Many ppl may not even think twice about it and Double tip. So just an FYI. 70 dollars extra to a bill was a bit much. Again just an FYI. .

Diner Review №104

A real friendly staff

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Absolutely everything on their menu is phenomenal, my favorite spot for date nights!

Diner Review №107

Everything was Outstanding

Diner Review №108

Great food and service. Interesting art displayed throughout the restaurant most of it if not all of it for sale.

Diner Review №109

Sushi was amazing but grilled octopus was a disappointment, barely any octopus in the dish and flavor was missing. Not worth the price.

Diner Review №110

Good food but when they are busy they cannot keep up with the service.

Diner Review №111

Food and service were both good 👍

Diner Review №112

One of these best places for Koren Bbq around SWFL in my opinion.. although it is a bit pricey but what Koren Bbq place isn’t.. Their Bulgogi, Wagyu short ribs and definitely the Wagyu fried rice was AMAZING!! The grills were very nice.

Diner Review №113

Wonderful and delicious 😋

Diner Review №114

This place is amazing, been to so many Asian fusion/ BBQ, but this place takes the cake… the food, the service, the drinks, the ambiance - everything here is top tier and I highly recommend it

From sushi to Korean bbq to sake and soju, everything here needs to be tried at least once 🤣

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

10/10 hole in the wall type place for some ramen noodles

Diner Review №117

Found new favorite foods and had such a good time

Diner Review №118

We had the hokkaido and it was GREAT, came by from Silva's bakery and decided to try their ramen, and man, it won't dissappoint you. Our favorite was the Spicy tuna, best place for sushi, ramen and korean bbq in naples, please come check it out

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №120

Ordered online through what was supposedly their app instead of DoorDash or Uber. Still added an additional 2 plus bucks to the bill, but that was hidden in the 'Taxes and Fees' subtotal (which can only be seen online). The receipt you are given will not match the online bill. There seems to be a little bait-and-switch with regard to item prices, which allows them to hide hidden fees for ordering online and picking up your own food. The online receipt was about 3.50 less than what I was charged by my credit card.

The food is good. But the prices are exhorbitant. The standard "Fried Rice" is 14 dollars. If you want a protein, chicken is an additional 3 dollars. Shrimp takes it to 21 dollars. A handful of edemame will run you 10 dollars. Compared to my favorite Chinese place down the road that is roughly a 100% markup.

Didn't order any sushi or sashimi, or drinks because that would have put this casual dinner for two over a hundred bucks. As it is, this takeout meal ended up costing over 70 bucks.

Way too pricey for such a place. Basically you can get everything for half the price somewhere else.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

The food at this place is vile. I’m convinced the reviews are purchased. We ordered all higher ticket items. Oh toro, chutoro, big eye, hamachi, some special rolls, almost all wagyu offerings and fish on fire which was supposed to be shrimp and mixed fish sautéed in spicy sauce. Chutoro and oh toro were sold out so we replaced them. I would imagine this is something they never actually have in stock but meant to convince prospective customers that this place is high end. Fish on fire came as a whole deep fried red snapper or something with ginger sauce. Not what we ordered at all. Everything that had wagyu tasted like the beef was rancid. Grey, smelly rancid beef. The sushi (bigeye and hamachi) the fish was old inedible and fishy. My husband took one bite and spit it out. We literally tried one bite of everything wrapped it all up and sent it down the garbage shoot. Jalapeño poppers tasted like half cooked peppers stuffed with dog food. This is the worst restaurant I’ve ever eaten at down here. Food quality can be subjective but when I say rancid I mean there is a safety issue here. 140+ for a small dinner that was Absolutely inedible. Overpriced garbage tourist trap. Stay far away

Diner Review №123

Best ramen in Naples. Hospitality is unbelievable with a awesome atmosphere. I’ve been coming since day one and have to say the owner Michael makes you feel like family when you visit. This is a must do if you’re visiting the North Naples area. .

Diner Review №124

We went with friends. It was very noisy and difficult for conversation. The food was fine, but seemed expensive for basic meat you had to cook yourself. Order sushi!

Diner Review №125

Good food, sushi was excellent. The grill on the table was fine but I probably won’t go back for that again.

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

Hokkaido Ramen super super overpriced and not very good. Broth tasted ok and the seafood was great

Diner Review №128

Love the spicy tuna chips, good basic sushi too, didn't order any specialty rolls, whole place is improving, though, which is very nice to see

Diner Review №129

Amazing food. Would've never stopped here if not for a friend's suggestion. Service was ok but could've been better with no added effort.

Diner Review №130

The menu is great, but it is expensive, especially if you want to do KBBQ. Some dishes were great, and others were not. The lychee martini was very good. We left full but the bill was definitely higher than anticipated.

Diner Review №131

I've been going here for almost 4 years, and I've never had a bad experience. The food is great and the customer service is also great. The food comes in great too! Over all, I love this place.

Diner Review №132

This is by far our favorite place to eat in SWFL. Food and service has always been excellent.

Diner Review №133

Zen BBQ is an amazing place to eat! I am a longtime customer, and I can say with absolute certainty that the wait staff is extremely hospitable, the food is delicious, and the owner, Mike, always greets me with a smile and treats us remarkably well. No matter if its sushi, pad thai, thai sweet tea, or barbecue, the food never disappoints. Great food and great service. Definitely one of, if not the, best Korean barbecue places in the area! I highly recommend this restaurant, for I can't stop myself from coming back.

Diner Review №134

We have been long time customers, my wife went to pick up take out. They wouldn’t honor the coupon saying it was only for dine in. Despite the fact that no where on the coupon or flyer does it say “dine in only”. In fact, a year or 2 ago I used the same coupon for take out. When I called to complain no one cared, in fact they talked badly about me in a foreign language (they think we don’t know know, we know, you’re not sly, it happened once when dining in too). When I said this instance would lose a loyal customer permanently, the response was just “ok bye”. I wonder if the owners know that their employees are fine with losing loyal customers to a local business or with employees bad mouthing in a foreign language every person who comes in. I tip very well and spend $100+ every dine in visit. I will now be taking my business elsewhere permanently when I want sushi.

Diner Review №135

Nice little spot. I eat Ramen and sushi in every city I travel to, since I travel for work...
I got the pork ramen. The broth was mid, kinda bland, but the pork was flavored well and you could taste the grilled taste. The egg was also excellent

The sashimi was excellent and I loved how it was seved. I also got the warm sake and it was great. Service was great as well

I would like to try the other ramen spots in Naoles before I circle the block back to Nen Asian BBQ.

Diner Review №136

The pork belly on the bbq was so good :) good choices.

Diner Review №137

I’ve come here for years now. My mother showed me the spot and ever since i’ve been hooked. Sushi is fresh waygu never disappoints. The owner is highly personable and super friendly. service is impeccable!!! If you haven’t been you need to go! better than most new york bbqs!

Diner Review №138

The best in Naples!

Diner Review №139

The food was good I had seafood ramen

Diner Review №140

From a local....This restaurant has better food than any restaurant in Naples. We'd take this over any fifth avenue or third st dinner any day of the week. Don't be deceived by this strip mall restaurant. The reviews speak for themselves. The food is without a doubt some of the best we've ever had. The owner, Mike, is wonderful and has many times, so generously introduced us to new dishes that have become staples for us now. The quality of the sushi is unmatched as are the beef and vegetables in the dishes. Every meal is something unique, but there is something for even the pickiest eater here. Some favorites for us are the Crispy Rice appetizer, the Dolsot Bibimbap, Japchae, Bok Choi, Steak Tataki, and the list goes on. I also cannot forget to mention, Bee, our wonderful server who we adore. She's attentive and knows the menu well. Favorite/best restaurant in Naples.

Diner Review №141

Great food,great service. Great experience all around 😀

Great Food!

Diner Review №143

Would recommend good food friendly service

Diner Review №144

Just had one of the best meals ever here. work has been difficult to say the least, and I haven’t felt too good, so I figured maybe some #ramen would be good. And it was. Good for my soul. The gelatinous, salty, sweet, umami flavor was incredible. Like comforting blanket. With just enough heat to make you sweat a little. And the sushi was incredible too. This little gem in a strip mall in Naples Park is awesome. Cannot recommend it enough

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Went here with my husband for a date night. Ordered the grilled octopus appetizer, which was delicious. Then for dinner I got the sunset roll & the spicy yellowtail roll. Husband got the Japchae with chicken. All very tasty! Would definitely come back! Also the interior is decorated with some very interesting art. Overall a really nice experience.

Diner Review №147

If you enjoy different types of Asian cuisine and beverages, look no further. The menu was extensive and the staff was extremely hospitable and efficient. My group was delighted to find that everything we ordered was outstanding, from the flaming sushi and massaman curry, to the pad Thai and crispy brussel sprouts (to name a few). We washed it all down with a variety of imported and fresh beverages, including soju and Thai tea. The next time I visit Naples I will look forward to coming back again!

Diner Review №148

Went here based on the reviews being so good. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. Do not ever eat here. Wasted nearly 70$. My photo doesn’t even do my whole experience justice. This was the WORST sushi I have ever had in my life. Talk about “fishy” and talk about sloppy.

My husband and I got 3 rolls each. He didn’t eat more than 2 pieces of his spicy salmon rolls and his tuna roll.

I got a California roll that was HORRIFIC and disgusting. Couldn’t eat it. I also asked for a Philly Roll and to substitute the salmon for crab. They gave me freaking salmon (as pictured), not even did they mess up my order, they didn’t even put cream cheese in it??!!!

Also, my husband is allergic to crab, so I specifically asked them to separate each so as to avoid contamination. Well, they didn’t do that right either. It was mixed in with mine and he started to get an allergic reaction.

Being FLORIDA touches the ocean, I expected at least decent sushi. Instead this was horrific and I will never go back.

Complete waste.

Diner Review №149

Amazing food. Fun atmosphere. Great service. And Mike the owner is always there with a smile on his face. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was looking for a Korean Barbecue place in Naples to bring my friends, who had never had it. This was one of the only places in the area that offered it so we came. It's sort of an Asian fusion place with Thai, Japanese, Korean, etc. All of the food we had was pretty good, but the prices for the Korean Barbecue were pretty steep given the quantity given. The atmosphere was a bit lacking, but that may be because Maryland has really fun Korean Barbecue places where it feels like an experience more than just a dinner out. The place was clean, service was good (although we waited for a long time for our check after we finished) and it had a small, quaint feel that was nice. It wasn't very busy. Korean BBQ cooktops are in one row of tables, and the rest are standard tables.

I really liked the variety of food. Got some Korean bbq, ramen, and pad thai. All of it was delicious.

Diner Review №152

The bun is not soft. The beef is smelly. The chicken wing are not juicy.

Diner Review №153

There was food that was way too salty and others that had no type of taste and they gave the wrong order.

Diner Review №154

Overall great food. 4 stars cause it is a little over priced for not being all you can eat korean bbq like most cities and the NY strip was mediocre quality. The staff was great and the atmosphere as well

Their A5 Wagyu appetizer was incredible, as was the Yakisoba (perfect balance of fresh/light/flavorful). Brother ordered the Hokkaido ramen, and you can tell the broth is a labor of love. Add to that an Incredible atmosphere and super friendly staff, and this place is hands down my new favorite spot in Naples for Japanese fare (and that’s no small feat!).

This is our favorite Asian restaurant in North Naples and Bonita. Everything here is top shelf. Sushi, hot pot Ramen, tabletop barbecue and individual dishes are all fantastic. Excellent wait staff.

Diner Review №174

Delicious! We got so much food and everything was delicious. Not too salty, not too breaded, perfect amount of spice! Nice combination of flavors.

I forgot when was the last time I had dessert at a restaurant, but we had to have it here!

Wagyu Short Rib Steamed Buns were good but it only had one sliver of meat on each.
The Spring rolls were mostly mushy breading and did not taste well.
Shrimp fried rice did not taste good and had 4 shrimp in it. Too pricy for 4 shrimp and it wasn't good.

Diner Review №191

If you decide to sit at table with bbq expect High prices. Small portions. Extra rice additional charge.
Service was good. Food was ok. Not worth the price.
