Everything from the food, design, and service is amazing. My family and I went there and walked out, completely satisfied. The restaurant was just newly renovated, and they nailed the look. There were a variety of items to choose from, like different meats, sushis and rolls, a plethora of side dishes, as well as a wide range of drinks. The grill was perfectly convenient. The staff there were amazing as well. Requests were done quickly, and they carried a nice personality. Be careful though. Do not order more than you can chew! You will be charged for any leftovers.

Came out to Chakos with my friends on a Saturday night. One of my friends has never been to a Korean bbq, and he was skeptical about it. He couldn't understand the concept of cooking your own food, but once we got started, he had a blast. The food is amazing as usual, and the atmosphere is just as good as the food. Price is expensive, but considering the amount of food you can get and eat, I think it's justified. We'll be back for sure.

I always enjoy my visits to Chako, and both the regular and premium all-you-can-eat menus are fantastic! The variety of meats, sides, and BBQ options is amazing. The quality of the premium menu adds a special touch, but the regular menu is just as satisfying. Whether you’re going for a casual meal or a special treat, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend!

Have not been to this location in about 4 years. They renovated and changed the menu completely. What an incredible change and experience. Even if you just get the classic menu option, there is a ton of food to choose from.

There is so much to love about this location of Chako! The restaurant was large & spacious, very clean & comfortable! We ordered dinner off of the premium menu & I would highly recommend doing so. The stand outs for meat options were the Cajun Chicken & Boneless Ribs for sure I love ordering whatever drink special is available, so I opted for the 1L Fruit Tea - GET IT! It was absolutely delicious & stepped up my experience! I wasn’t expecting there to be sushi options, but I was pleasantly surprised at the variety & quality! The staff were incredibly attentive & kind, and I felt the cost was well worth the entire experience! 5 ’s!!

One of the best places for anyone who is looking for a cozy, friendly atmosphere, well quality food, and perfect service! The food quality and freshness is amazing. The atmosphere is perfect for family time, dating, going out with friends, etc. And the service, very polite, fast, respectful, customer friendly, and warm. Two of the best ones as well are Ming and Ling (sorry for mispronouncing), the last time my family and I were there, we enjoyed the perfect customer service provided by these two kind hearts. Highly recommend!

I haven't been to Chako in years, and the place is a lot better than I remembered! My friends and I chose the premium menu because it's only 8 more than the regular, and we get more variety. I was surprised they had sushi and sashimi on their menu... even more so after realizing the quality was good! For roughly 5 bucks, I got to have refillable soft drinks as well! I was impressed with the premium ribs and striploin! It's definitely worth the extra 8. The chicken thigh, however... was meh. The staff were attentive and easy to get a hold of, and the restaurant looks way better than I recalled. Parking is terrible in that area... my friend reserved for 7pm on a Thursday evening, and we had to circle around the parking lot and its surrounding area countless times before securing a spot. I'm assuming it's like that every day, so be sure to arrive early to find parking.

Will definitely come again! *******************************************we were there yesterday Valentine’s Day , it was crazy busy , we had appointments but still waited 30 minutes guess it is acceptable, a big holiday with all the 2 people tables . Food was great, service Wes good enough in the big holiday. Keep it up ! Chako !
