| - 4/5:
Made reservations for this place on Friday for late night Korean BBQ and Soju (No cheese chicken unfortunately). We had a group of 8 people which allowed us to sit in one of the private tables which was really comfortable. All in all the restaurant had a simple KBBQ vibe, with good food, good service, which helped make it a good night.
For food, we (for 4; we split the table 4 people per grill) ordered 4 servings of the Samgyupsal (which came with all the side dishes including soybean paste soup, and steamed egg), along with 4 orders of rice, and a light order of Soju (3 bottles) to pair with the pork. As "service" (which is the Korean term for free food; they tend to give out free food if you come in a big group or order alot of food) we got some Ddeok-Bokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) which was great. The price of food here is pretty standard for KBBQ; the bill for our side came out to roughly $40 per person (incl. tip), so it's definitely not cheap. We split the food order into two which really made paying the bill more convenient.
Recommendations: definitely make reservations they were packed when we got there, and remained packed til we left. Also, if you're not driving, I suggest eating Korean BBQ the traditional way: with Soju. If you don't like Soju, I recommend trying the flavored ones (Grapefruit) or even some Makgulli (Korean rice wine). For any first timers, don't wear anything nice as it will smell like delicious pork until the day you wash it. Also don't be afraid to ring the bell and ask for more side dishes, take advantage of the fact that you can get unlimited kimchi (in theory). Also, this is a very social meal so loosen up, take lots of shots, and eat your heart out. Enjoy.
