I don't understand 4.5 stars. I used to think non ayce Korean BBQ was for snobs until I went to Hobak. Having such a good experience there made me willing to give this place a chance. And it disappointed in every regard except interior design.
The best thing I ate was the bulgogi. It's been a while since I've had bulgogi. I like to leave room for other meats. This was the only exceptional thing I ate. Every other kind of meat was super chewy.
Out of all the steak places I've been (not just kbbq) this is the first time that every cut lacked tenderness. Additionally, the portions...I mean...I can understand small if the meat quality is high, but it was just small tough, chewy portions of meat.
The service was friendly and the decor was nice, but...I really don't understand why this place has 4.5 stars. By word of mouth and personal experience, I'd recommend almost any other place with four stars before this spot.
