      Really nice environment with the blue lighting. Very nice selection of food. Me and my boyfriend truly enjoyed the experience there. Our waiter was really kind and explained everything to make it simple for us. I've been to Japanese bbq but this was a way better experience and more bang for the buck In our opinion . Also local to where we stay so that always makes it better . Thumbs up :)

      The food here is good and it's buffet style with premium items you can order from the menu which is included with the meal. The price is very reasonable. The service was the best I had at any buffet place I've been to. Very attentive. Only thing is they need better dessert options.

      I have been here when it was Jin Korean BBQ many years ago. Just recently, I noticed name changed to Bon KBBQ. According employee, it was just a name change. No wonder most reviews still carry the old name.

      Either way, same style and same affordable priced buffet meal. I came here today was because I didn't want to fight traffic to eat spicy food at the other side of town.

      One thing I like about Bon KBBQ is the parking and location. All you can eat doesn't attract me. I would rather limit myself to 35 minutes or I'll be full like a potbelly pig.

      Two things I don't like about this restaurant are the ventilation and thickness of cuts. My shirt stunk like I worked in the kitchen cooking for hours.

      I normally like to cook my own food at the table. But this time, I worried about eating half cooked pork and chicken. Because I overcooked my meats, they were tough. Yikes.

      But, I do like the prepared food section. Bulgogi beef and kimchi fried rice were my favorite. I would go back to eat just those and skip raw meat section.

      I've been thinking about ice cream all day

      AYCE, so save your appetite for this! They have a buffet with lots of side options- and it is actually really good. Lots of option on the meats - the buffet has some and they have sliced meats on the menu too. We made rsvp for a party of 7 and we got seated quickly with it. I wouldn't recommend walking in with a big group. Overall we had a good experience and we would be back!

      The selections here are great. You have a buffet style line of options for your raw and some marinated meats, cooked items such as jap chae noodles, fried rice, fried chicken, pickled vegetables, and desert.

      Once seated, the waiter took our drink order and gave us a menu. La Galbi, shrimp, and chicken wings are on this menu. I highly recommend ordering galbi and the wings. The wings are so big and really flavorful, you can get the sauce on side or tossed - I've tried both options before and you can't go wrong with either. The sauce is spicy but sweet and tangy! These aren't an extra cost! So make sure you get this :)

      We stuck to the La galbi, wings, white rice, japchae, and marinated bulgogi for most of our dinner and were more than satisfied.

      I know it's gnat season and all, but I did see a couple gnats near our table and flying around the food, which is always a turn off for me, hence the 3 stars.

      Ok, this all you can eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ establishment is so unique from any other place I've been to. They have a plethora of items in a buffet style area that you can take as well as a few other meats that you can order.

      The buffet area allows you to get your dipping sauces, banchan, side dishes, and several raw and prepared meats. This is great as you can try small amounts of many things.

      Then, when you get to your table you can order more meats such as brisket, pork belly, beef belly, and LA galbi. To signal the staff to assist you, simply turn on your light at your table.

      Speaking of staff, I've never had better staff being so attentive and friendly. The main host personally took us around the buffet area to show us how it worked and what the layout was like. Servers at our table kept our drinks topped off and the meats coming.

      Now the food itself was incredible. For the price of $28 per person for dinner, it's a great value. The beef brisket and belly is so soft and juicy and fatty. The LA galbi is an absolute must if you want some of the tastiest meat out there. And all the bulgogi at the buffet area is excellent.

      I love how dude dishes are prepared and available for you to take such as soups, different fried rices, prepared bulgogi, and at least several dozen sauce options. It's a winter wonderland for Korean bbq lovers.

      All in all, this is the spot to go to if you are wanting to have one of the best AYCE KBBQ experiences you may ever have.

      I love the variety of this Korean bbq spot. My favorites are the bulgogi and beef belly. I really enjoyed the various sides and other options in the buffet section. Definitely get some samjang and salt with sesame oil to dip your meats in. The kimchi radish and potato salad are really tasty. I also liked the japchae, bean sprouts, and of course a big bowl of rice with my meat. You'll definitely have the meat sweats after this meal. The restaurant is large with plenty of tables and booths. The service is good and the regularly switch out the grills for you. Can't wait to come again.

      This is my first time here. Service staff was very kind to explain how the buffet works. Food is divided into sections of cooked food, raw marinated meats, and salad bar. They have soups, pumpkin porridge, white rice, and ice cream too. Food is mainly self-service but they have other thin sliced meats which can be ordered from the menu. They also have alcohols if you like.
      The meat quality was so-so. The marinated beef bulgogi especially, reminded me of the one I could get from Costco. The cooked food reminded me of food I could get from Costco or food that came out of big cans or containers. For the buffet price, I would say it was worth it.
      I ordered the lychee soju cocktail thinking that it would just be in a small glass. I was shocked to be served a carafe. The soju cocktail tasted more of soda than soju, and not much lychee taste.
      Restaurant could lower down the volume of the background music more so that I didn't have to keep shouting to my friend who was just sitting opposite me. However, the service staff was very attentive. Changing of grills was prompt, and service staff was always around to help. Thumbs up.

      I hadn't been back to Jin in over a year, so I decided stop by for dinner on a week day last week. They have a new name now, but the interior decorations still have the Jin name, and everything was pretty much the same as before.
      There were a few new items on section buffet (both cooked and raw) from the last time I was here.
      Overall, it was decent. For the price and availability , I would say it's only worth it to go during lunch, but I wouldn't mind stopping by if I couldn't decide on anywhere else to eat

      Food was great but would of been better with Oscar. Oscar did not show up to Joel's gender reveal so the food probably would have been better if he showed up here to eat with us, but he didn't. Dang it Oscar.
