| - We were looking for a korean restaurant for my MIL's bday. We didn't want to overpay for crappy food at Ginseng. So I yelped around and found this gem. I had no idea what to expect and trusted yelp (like I do most of the time). I called and made a reservation for 13 on a Saturday night. The dinner turned out great and I would definitely return. For Vegas standards, this is a good KBBQ place.
Restaurant/Ambiance: Its located right off the strip (convenient) but towards the back of the lot. Kinda hard to see. Restaurant is not a hole-in-the-wall type of place. Kind of dark with all tables having a BBQ grill top. We were fortunate enough to be given the private room in the back. I think it can comfortably seat 15 or so with 2 grills. It worked out well since we had a couple of small kids. My only knock was that the table height was kinda high for the chairs. They had tons of pillows to supplement, but made it just a tad awkward. The place was initially empty around 5:30pm, but quickly filled up and there was a wait by the time we left around 7pm.
Service: Service was ok. Not up to LA standards but decent. I thought we would get a dedicated server for our group, but through the evening, the servers would rotate to help us out. Grills were switched out when asked. Here they do not cater to you and cook your meat for you (like most of the LA BBQ places). Food came out quite rapidly. They didn't clear out our plates, but we had a table on the side that we just set all of the empty dishes. The banchan was never refilled (we never asked). Water was refilled when requested. They had a really nice birthday comp (4-5 ice cream macaroons with candle). All in all, service was decent.
Food: In a large group, you have to go with the preset menu. We opted for the Gangnam BBQ package for 6 (next to highest package). This came with a lot of appetizers and side dishes and 5 cuts of meat. The appetizers included: oysters (good size ones and pretty fresh in quality), shishito peppers (really good per one of the guests), fried calamari (crunchy and meaty. Nice spicy mayo dipping sauce too), miso soup, salad, and bulgogi bibimpap. I really liked the bulgogi pap. Basically meat and rice. The cuts of meat included: bulgogi, kalbi, unmarinated steak, marinated/unmarinated prime steak. I wished they would have included chadol as one of the selections. YOu couldn't really substitute anything. The meat quality was pretty good. Good amount. They also included 3 different dipping sauces.
Value: If it wasn't for the combo package, I think it could have gotten a tad pricey. You have to pay for the banchan. I requested sahm and sahm jang, and they charged me for that. We did the 6 person combo with 10 adults. But we ordered a lot of other things on top (udon, 2 different soups, and more rice).
All in all, a great korean BBQ restaurant in Las Vegas. I would def make reservations ahead of time.
