Kids loved it here. We got galbi and all the ban Chan was so yummy. Tried a few soju flavors and also the japchae. Wish we could have done the grill but with the tiny kids it's not a smart move we opted for the precooked food and it was well worth it. Our waiter was very kind and answered the throngs of random questions my kids threw at him all while taking our order and helping us pick items as well.

I went here back in 2021. I did not do the grill but I had Kimbap and beef bulgogi! It was so amazing! After having great service and amazing food I ended up returning here over the years multiple times. I highly recommend utilizing the grill! They even have an early bird special for all you can eat at just $25

K- Chicken has AYCE Korean BBQ with great choices of meat and marinated sauce. You will like their small dish banchan. It is a plus to the AYCE. In addition they included the Korean Fried chicken in the same price. On top of that, they also include the Korean steam egg, gyoza, shrimp shumai, pork donkatsu, and vegetables for the grilled. I like the AYCE offer. The happy hour price also available. The meat included the thin slice pork belly and beef brisket, thick pork belly, beef bulgogi, top blade, pork shoulder, spicy pork bulgogi and chicken bulgogi. Those are good choices. We eat a lot. Love the bbq with food on the entire table. They allow you to order four meat dish then add as you need. Overall is a good experience. Solid 4 stars.

3 things about this place: 1. I've been looking for an amazing Korean spot in Tampa and haven't found one yet. The other Korean restaurants are good but not great. I have decided to try this place for a while and had the time to do it. From outside, the place does not seem big, but when you go inside the restaurant, it is more spacious than you'd expect. The staff were extremely friendly and greet you with a warm smile which was a plus for me. I was seated right away and was delivered with a cup of water. The price is extremely fair and the portions of the foods were fair. They are closed during the day to serve the most fresh foods for that night and cut their meats almost every day also. 2. Deep Fried Dumplings, Korean Fried Chicken with a side of sweet and spicy sauce, and Beef Tripe Soup were ordered. All the orders came out fast and didn't have to wait that long. The dumplings came out extremely hot and was very crispy. The sauce was well prepared to go with the dumplings. I was really amazed at the Korean Fried Chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce. The chicken was well marinated and just eating it without any sauce was good too. The sweet and spicy sauce is very hard to make and this place made it to perfection and not heavy with the gochujang (Korean pepper paste) compared to other Korean restaurants. Beef Tripe Soup was HUGE. The flavor was perfect and the vegetables and the tripe were very fresh. If you don't clean the tripe well, there will be some odd smell but didn't smell any of that from the tripe. They cleaned it very well and I can see the passion for what they serve to customers. 3. Second time I came and had the AYCE Korean BBQ and the meats were all fresh also. For that price, you can't really beat that. Comes with appetizers like fried chicken, steamed egg, and a MUST to get is their Korean soy bean paste soup. It's an additional cost but definitely worth it. Overall, highly recommend this place to anyone wanting Korean food. I've been to different Korean places in Tampa area and nothing beats this place. Will be back to try different items on their menu and found my Korean favorite spot in Tampa!

Our family's Saturday night was transformed into a delightful Korean culinary adventure at K - Chicken and Grill Korean Restaurant. Upon entering, the inviting ambiance set the stage for an enjoyable evening. The beautiful interiors and cozy atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for our family dinner. We were promptly greeted by the friendly server and seated with menus and refreshing glasses of water. To kick off our Korean dining experience, we opted for Korean beer, a perfect choice to complement the array of flavors we were about to explore. Alongside the beer, we indulged in a Kimchi Salad that was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. The salad was fresh, flavorful, and served as an excellent precursor to our main courses. The arrival of Gimbab and Pan Fried Dumplings added an extra layer of excitement to our table. The Gimbab was a delightful combination of textures and tastes, while the Pan Fried Dumplings were a testament to the chef's expertise, delivering a burst of flavors with each bite. Our main courses, Dolsot Bibimbap and Korean Style Fried Chicken, took center stage, and they did not disappoint. The Dolsot Bibimbap was a symphony of colors, flavors, and textures, presenting a perfect Korean salad in a sizzling stone pot. The Korean Style Fried Chicken was a crowd-pleaser, featuring succulent, flavorful chicken that left a lasting impression. Throughout our dining experience, the service was attentive, and the staff's hospitality added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. K - Chicken and Grill Korean Restaurant has undoubtedly become our go-to destination for an authentic Korean culinary journey. In conclusion, our family thoroughly enjoyed a delightful Korean feast at K - Chicken and Grill. Highly recommended for those seeking an unforgettable Korean dining experience.

I love their AYCE BBQ. I came here with four other friends and we ate so much meat. Make sure you come with at least two people who can cook or else one person is stuck cooking a ton while everyone else eats (and you don't want to end up being that person). Their banchan is very good and there are tons of appetizer options. We got some Korean fried chicken, which is the only thing I wouldn't order again. All the meet we tried was delicious. I loved the beef belly and the marinated rib eye. You can ask them to change out the stove top if it gets too dirty from all the cooking (which we did once). We made reservations for 7:30 p.m. on a Wednesday for five and they laughed and said we probably wouldn't need it. They were right. It wasn't super empty, but it also wasn't packed. You can keep ordering all the meat you want, but they do say you have a time limit of two hours. I don't know how strict that is, because we definitely didn't have the stomach capacity to continue ordering meat past two hours. They ventilate this place well, but you will still leave smelling like meat. It's clean, cute and large. Super easy parking
