| - Erik and I came here for a wonderful surprise lunch today!! It was my first time having proper Korean BBQ in some time. We do not go for the all you can eat, prefer to spend a little more time enjoying our surroundings and good quality of food.
First off, this spot is beautiful!! The owners spared no expense on the beauty and ambience here! Dark, yet lots of good lighting, high beamed ceilings, industrial with a warm feeling. Very pleasant inside.
Our many complimentary condiments came right away, and we could have gotten full on just the pickles, salad, fish cakes, potato salad- yum! Our server, Trustin was dreamy. He was so attentive and smiling and very passionate about the restaurant and the food! We ordered the Brisket and the Soy Garlic chicken. Having lived in Austin TX for four years- I know good brisket! So thinly sliced and lovingly arranged, came out within 5 minutes. Trustin prepared the meat to perfection, and we enjoyed it so much with the different sauces we had to choose from (didn't even need sauce) Next came the chicken, which Trustin again prepared, and explained how the meats were prepared and answered any questions we had while he was serving us. The chicken was delicious as well as very tender and juicy, which is becoming a problem with chicken these days... I rarely order it as usually it is tough and overcooked.
A couple last things fresh in my mind still about 8 oz- we got to meet one of the owners, TK Kim. He was so friendly, and great to chat with! Oh, and the desserts here!! We usually do not have room, but Trustin suggested I think it was Korean Frozen ice cream? It was unbelievable!! Please try it when you come here!!
One last thing- as the last reviewer mentioned- 8 Oz has no awful smoke and grease stench, and they have a great wine selection and full bar :) :)
