SaRiOne B.B.Q

A hidden Town & Country Korean BBQ gem. I forget about this place & then I remember why it’s so good & happily put aside the strip mall aesthetics to enjoy another meal here. Service is good. Portions are huge. Everything is tasty. Restaurant is clean. Big dining room with seating that feels semi-private. Good menu selection. Don’t forget to try a soju & a soup. Broth bases are so good. Great place for a date, group of friends, or family. Will definitely keep returning. Highly recommend. You will not be Sari.

My daughter and I had the pleasure of visiting that charming restaurant yesterday for the first time, and we were thoroughly impressed with our entire experience. Our waitress, Mina, stood out as exceptional; she was not only polite and friendly but also remarkably knowledgeable about the menu. With a warm smile, she took the time to walk us through each item, providing detailed descriptions that helped us navigate our choices with ease. The food itself was nothing short of fantastic. The expertly cut and perfectly seasoned meat was a highlight, bursting with flavor in every bite. I was particularly taken with the kimchi—it had an exquisite balance of spice and crunch that elevated the dish. The accompanying cucumber and raddish provided a delightful contrast, with their crispness adding a refreshing burst to our meal. To my delightful surprise, the fish cakes were absolutely delicious. The flavorful soy paste served as a dipping sauce was a perfect complement, enhancing the without overpowering them. Mina, I sincerely hope to see you again during our next visit! While I will admit the meal was a bit on the pricey side for a casual lunch, every bite was well worth it. This establishment not only serves as an ideal spot for a family outing but also sets the perfect ambiance for a romantic date night. Overall, we had a wonderful time filled with delicious food and excellent service, and we eagerly look forward to returning.

Cozy, clean, service was very nice, food was served quickly. Meats seemed well seasoned. To be honest, the meats did not seem like the highest quality, probably USDA but not USDA prime. The ventilation system was superb, the temperature (in hot Tampa) was perfectly comfortable. We came during lunch and there weren't many people there yet, but I can see this place getting crowded. Good kimchi and good dips.

We came in for all you can eat, and we ordered only brisket. The brisket came out after about 20 minutes. This is by far the worst meat quality I have ever experienced at an Korean bbq. I let my server know that we were unsatisfied with the quality, and they tried to charge us the all you can eat price + the left overs that we couldn’t eat! I’m talking about the brisket having 60 %fat to meat ratio. Completely outrageous. The manager came over to us after waiting for about 30 minutes and explained that we would have to pay for sides that we did eat. I’m more than happy to. We ate around $2 worth of food while waiting for the meat. We ended up paying 20$ and leaving 10$ tip. Also I should mention, out of all the korean restaurants I’d have been to, the sides were shockingly bland.

I have been going to SaRiOne for over two decades. Their food, kind staff, and nice ambiance always bring us back for repeat visits. They recently started to offer an all you can eat buffet but my husband and I weren’t hungry enough for that experience on our last visit so we ordered a la carte with their galbi and spicy kimchi soup with tofu. We had the choice to cook the galbi or have it cooked for us. Due to time constraints, we chose for them to cook it and it was delicious as usual. They brought the usual side dishes, which I love. I like how they are not wasteful, as they stated if we would like to swap out any of the side dishes we could so we opted for double kimchi and declined the fish one. We plan to try the buffet next time.
