Masijta Grill Korean Bbq - Urbana

My husband and I were not impressed. This is not authentic Korean food. I don't think the cooks and waitress were Korean, maybe hispanic so that was a bit confusing. The bulgogi had a ton of fat, there were a lot of pieces I had to spit out because of the fat. The pork was very chewy! The quality of meat wasn't that good. The waitress was friendly. There is an 18% service fee applied to bill, just an FYI

There are better Korean BBQ places in town. I left a review on Jip Bap about its cultural aspects. Sometimes, when you want to eat something authentic, it’s preferable if the staff is familiar with the culture. The restaurant is quite small, so I wouldn’t recommend going with more than four people as there are only like 10 tables. The waitress seemed to have difficulty understanding English, and I think she might have been Hispanic, so my request for a pitcher of water wasn’t understood. The food was just okay. You can tell a lot about Korean food by the quality of the kimchi, and theirs wasn’t impressive. The sushi and the rest of the food were just average.

Not my favorite. Went for my wife's birthday, and she was really disappointed.

Stopped in last Saturday with my 10 Year old, kind staff and nice food. Will be back next time we are in town. Thanks everyone for making it a fun and memorable.

18% service charge is mandatory. Just putting itout there.
