Maple Korean BBQ & Hot Pot — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

Very nice waiter, he said it was his first day.

They really want you to eat. We left after only receiving 2 meats not 3, in our first round.

Thank God for that because it was a lot of food for a first round, in my humble opinion.

I’m a bit of a cook so the food wasn’t anything I couldn’t make on my own.

Was weird that we had to pay $4 to take the food with us. Even though your never asked how large or small of a portion you want to receive.

Honestly, I’ve loved these kind of BBQ places in Japan and was really expecting a different experience.

My daughter was really excited and I was excited for her. We didn’t eat so we would really enjoy ourselves at 3pm.

Really enjoyed the smaller portions so you could try more items, from over seas restaurants like this one.

The salad bar was not a salad bar, in my opinion and the only sauce I tried other the the ranch was gotchu sauce but it tasted watered down.

I ordered Spicy and while the meat was marinated it was not spicy. Daughter order baby octopus and pork belly. She is 8 btw and they gave her 5 baby octopus whole and 5-6 thick slices of pork belly.

I felt Each portion of food, is the recommended portion size for an entire meal.

They are serving basically 2 whole portions of meat from the very beginning. Or maybe they only did this to us😳

This picture is how much was left (again after the first round-we did not try any other items) after we were both full.

I’m sure there are some real eaters who would or might disagree and I encourage you to check them out and leave a review.

Ultimately this place wasn’t for my family, but maybe it’s for yours.

Felt more like a “hurry up and eat” kind of place versus a “come enjoy our culture through food”.

Not a place I’m willing to go back to without some changes.

1 star for kind service, 1 star for speedy service, 1 star for providing a new experience with someone I Love dearly.

Happy to give them the last 2 stars for a more quality experience. I.e. smaller portions per round and details like sticky rice with a top, so the rice doesn’t dry out, authentic sauces at the table, maybe butter to cook with and traditional side dishes.

Hope this helps you better decide where you want to spend your money and your time, because the first takes time to receive and the latter is priceless.

#God Bless,Happy...

Title: An Unforgettable Korean BBQ Experience!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Korean BBQ place that left me speechless and craving for more. With impeccable service, mouthwatering meats, and an abundant sauce bar, my experience took a culinary adventure to new heights.

From the moment I stepped inside, the vibrant ambiance and inviting aromas set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The staff, especially our waitress, was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the evening. Their knowledge of the menu and swift service ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of perfection.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the meat! The moment it started sizzling on the grill, my taste buds were high as a guest of Willie Nelson.🤣🤣 The variety and quality of meats available were truly remarkable. Each piece of succulent beef, seemed to melt in my mouth, leaving a lasting impression that is hard to forget!!

And let's not forget the sauce bar! It was an absolute dream come true for any food lover. The array of flavors and condiments available was mind-boggling. Whether you prefer spicy or savory, subtle or bold, the sauce bar had something to please every palate. It elevated the already amazing meats to a whole new level, enhancing each bite with a burst of flavor.

The portion sizes were incredibly generous, and I found myself indulging in an abundant feast. The sheer delight of experiencing this delightful Korean BBQ made me lose track of time, and I almost had to be wheeled out on a gurney due to my satisfied and pleasantly full state.

To sum it up, if you're in search of a Korean BBQ place that offers an exceptional dining experience, look no further. With its flawless service, incredible meat selection, and a sauce bar to die for, this place deserves all the praise it receives. Make sure to bring your appetite, because you won't be able to resist indulging yourself in the culinary marvel that is this place is a definite must-visit for food enthusiasts and anyone looking to have a memorable meal! I write this review wishing I had took some pictures but, unfortunately my wife and I were too busy eating and enjoying...

We came here a couple months ago when it had just opened. Now normally I try not to judge a restaurant too much when it’s their couple weeks/month of opening, but this experience was one of the worse we’ve ever had, from beginning to end. It was still winter, so quite chilly. There were plenty of open tables but they sat us right in front of the double doors which were constantly opening and closing blowing us with the chilly air. Our server was very scatter brained and didn’t know the menu, what drinks they offered, or anything about any of the food. We had to tell her a solid five times what the first three meats we wanted were. While we’re waiting for the meat, we go check out the salad bar which was a bunch of pickled veggies which we were excited about. Got some kimchi and daikon. They both did not taste fresh. We were still waiting on meat. In the meantime, there were people seated in front and behind us (big parties). They ordered and got their food before we did. We finally get our meat, it’s alright, but we proceed to wait another solid 20-30 minutes waiting for someone to come back so we can put in another order for me. Keep in mind, it’s all you can eat and it’s timed. We had gotten one order of meat in 45 minutes. We had to ask other servers to change our grill. We finally decide to just leave because no one was helping us and it wasn’t worth our time. We get someone else to grab our bill and our server FINALLY comes back. They all were trying to convince us to stay but we really just wanted to pay and leave. Our server was muttering under her breath the whole time, which was unprofessional. The manager comes over and asks if there was anything he could do, and we asked if we could get a discount since we literally ate one plate of meat. He discounted us 50%. I honestly think both of our meals should have been comped but at that point we just wanted to leave so we appreciated that we at least got 50% off. We ended up grabbing food somewhere else and eating at home. It wasn’t worth the 25 minute drive. There’s a lot that needs to be worked on before we would ever consider...
