7th Korean BBQ

If you’ve never had Korean BBQ before, 7th St BBQ is the absolute perfect place to start. This was my very first time experiencing KBBQ, and to say I was blown away is an understatement—it was amazing from start to finish! Right from the moment we walked in, the energy was incredible. Since it was my first time, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but the setup made it so fun and interactive. Grilling the meat right at the table brings a whole level of experience that you just don't get at a standard restaurant. The selection of meats was fantastic—super flavorful, tender, and high-quality. But what really elevated the meal was the variety of banchan (the side dishes). Pairing the perfectly grilled meats with the different textures and flavors of the sides made every single bite a new experience. The staff was also incredibly welcoming and helpful, which made the whole dynamic of cooking at the table feel seamless and relaxed. It wasn't just a dinner; it was an entire experience.

I honestly did NOT expect to be writing this review… but I was genuinely shocked. As someone who is Korean and has eaten at more AYCE Korean BBQ spots than I can count, it’s honestly hard to impress me. Most of the time, the meat quality is just “okay” and the ban-chan (반찬) is either bland or forgettable. I usually leave feeling disappointed. But this place? Completely different story. The quality of the meat was on another level — it tasted like high-quality choice cuts, not the typical thin, watery AYCE meat. And then I found out why: the owner’s husband actually works as a butcher at a meat market and personally brings in the meat from his other job to the restaurant. That explains EVERYTHING. You can truly taste the difference. His wife runs the restaurant and she is one of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve met. You can tell she really cares about the food and the customers. The crazy part is, I didn’t even bother taking pictures because I thought it would be like every other AYCE KBBQ place. Big mistake. Now I regret it because pictures would have shown how legit this place is. So you’re just going to have to trust me — this is no cap. The ban-chan (반찬) had so much flavor. It reminded me of my Korean grandmother’s cooking when I used to go over to her house. That homemade, comforting, real Korean taste. We ordered: • Beef brisket (차돌박이) • Beef belly (우삼겹) • Large intestines (대창) • Spicy beef brisket (매운 차돌박이) • Egg soufflé (계란찜) There were so many other meat options, but we didn’t even branch out because what we ordered was THAT good. And don’t sleep on the sauces. You HAVE to ask for their house special hot sauce. Mix it with the soy sauce — trust me on this. Also order the pickled jalapeños. It pairs insanely well with the meats. They also serve Korean alcohol, which made the experience even better. And for the ladies — they have flavored soju that tastes amazing. It’s smooth, refreshing, and goes down easy with the BBQ. Perfect pairing with the meat. They don’t normally push dessert drinks, but the owner was so proud of one that she gave us a sample. We ended up buying it — Sujeonggwa (수정과), aka cinnamon ginger punch. It’s a MUST try. If you leave without trying it, you’ll 100% regret it. As a Korean who is hard to impress when it comes to AYCE KBBQ, this place was memorable enough for me to finally leave a review.

If you are looking for an exceptional Korean barbecue experience, this spot is an absolute must-visit. The selection of meats is fantastic, with high-quality cuts that are incredibly flavorful and beautifully marbled. You can really taste the quality difference here. Beyond the excellent food, the restaurant itself is remarkably clean, bright, and well-maintained, which makes for a very comfortable and enjoyable dining environment. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The owner is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. It is rare to find a spot that hits the trifecta of amazing food, a spotless space, and genuinely warm hospitality. I will absolutely be coming back!

My husband and I have been coming here every other week for the past four years, and not once have we been disappointed. The food, atmosphere, cleanliness, and service are consistently outstanding. Every visit feels like coming home. We've tried countless KBBQ restaurants over the years, but none compare to this place. The quality, flavor, and overall experience keep us coming back time and time again. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Korean BBQ with exceptional service, this is the place to go.

Their service and warmth are amazing. I feel at home eating here. I’m obsessed with their marinated sauce. ‼️Must try the spicy marinated squid and pork belly. ‼️ I asked for the salad again because it was so fresh and crunchy, and they brought me a generous portion. Can’t recommend this place enough💯💯
