- foodFrom the Bohae blackberry raspberry wine to the kimchi, the creamy risotto, and the steamed egg, every dish was a holy recommend. The price is honestly comparable to the Strip, but with so much more food and it's uber filling and top-notch supreme! I am definitely coming here on my twice a year Vegas adventure and you should too!
- meatThere were so many options, but we chose this place based on the great reviews and catchy photos—and it turned out to be the best experience. There’s a wide selection of menu items, side dishes, and carbs to choose from, on top of the excellent-quality meat. We’ll definitely be coming back next time.
- meat qualityThis is the best Korean-style grill restaurant in Las Vegas! The quality of the meat was as good as in Korean restaurants. They grill the meat right at your table, and their grilling skills are truly professional.
- Korean BBQThe food quality was great and the taste was delicious. I've been to many restaurants in Las Vegas, but this Korean BBQ place was the most delicious, and the service was also good. I plan to visit often in the future.
- side dishesThe staff was extremely friendly as well! They consistently checked in on us, asking if we needed anything and were quick to bring out side dishes that were running low. They even provided bibs and hair ties before dining – it’s really the little things!
- quality of the meatThe quality of the meat was excellent
- banchanIt’s more affordable than their combo and you can definitely get more. There were two different types of salads and other banchan for unlimited refills. Truthfully, I loved how fresh their meat tasted, how well it was cooked by the staff (they took extra care to make sure it was medium rare and not overcooked), and loved how fast their service was!
- food qualityThe food quality was great
- meatsthe meats are all great quality, rich, and flavorful
- sidesMy experience at this restaurant was marked by friendly and attentive staff. The meat quality was good, and the sides were also enjoyable. However, I felt the 냉면 (naengmyeon) needed a bit more flavor.
Frequently criticized
- meat qualityI made a reservation for 5: 30 PM, outside of peak hours, and ordered the $59 per person meal. The first portion of meat was of decent quality, but the second order onwards saw a decline in the meat's condition. What was most baffling was the 1 hour and 30-minute time limit.
- AYCE menuWe had some pieces of short rib that weren't even edible. Even with the new AYCE menu, we figured the older menu would retain the same quality, but we were wrong. What a waste of $169.
- banchan optionswish they had more banchan options
- meat came super slowThe greetings were warm and friendly, and the servers were very attentive. The only issue was that the meat came super slow. I hope they can improve on speed, especially since there's a 90-minute time limit for all-you-can-eat.
- meat selectionnot much meat selection
- mul-naengmyeonthe mul-naengmyeon (cold noodles) had no flavor
- other dishesMy experience at the restaurant was mixed. The meat was good, but the other dishes didn't quite suit the Korean palate. The person grilling the meat seemed like a beginner, which was disappointing.
- portion sizesSmall portion per order
- short ribIf their meat quality was 9/10 just a month or so ago, it's actually 1/10 now. We had some pieces of short rib that weren't even edible. Even with the new AYCE menu, we figured the older menu would retain the same quality, but we were wrong.
- side dishesThe lower price compared to other places does help to make up for some of the shortcomings. However, the portion sizes per order were small, and there wasn't a great selection of meat or side dishes.
Overall, the food here is a major draw, offering an excellent KBBQ experience with high-quality meats and delicious sides. While there are minor inconsistencies, it's definitely worth trying for a satisfying meal, especially if you appreciate premium cuts and a wide selection.

Frequently criticized
- last orderBy the time we ordered the second portion of meat, it took an incredibly long time to arrive. When I called the staff to order the third portion, they informed us it was the last order. I'm unsure if it was intentional, but it was quite absurd.
- missing itemsNot only was the meat served late, but the staff also became increasingly unfriendly. There were also repeated instances of missing items when ordering things other than meat. Overall, I was dissatisfied.

- waiting timesecond order onwards took an incredibly long time to arrive
- waterWe've had a mix of very pleasant and acceptable service. It can be hard to get water. The meat is grilled for you in front of you, and the cook can be great or not as great, but my husband is also very picky about how his meat is cooked.
If youre looking for a place where the staff goes above and beyond with attentive and quick service, youll likely have a fantastic experience here. Just be mindful that a few guests have noted occasional delays or missing items, so it might be worth double-checking your order during busy times.

Grill Nine is the new K-BBQ go-to!
This is my new go-to K-BBQ spot! I highly recommend getting the waygu. The service was prompt and friendly.
They have 2 tops at the bar, so even on a Saturday night, my wife and I were seated with a grill in less than 5 minutes. Seriously, don't waste your time anywhere else. There's good, then there's Grill Nine!
