| - My cousins and I have agreed that this will be the place we are going to if we are ever craving AYCE Korean BBQ.
Only having been opened for about 2 months, this place has gotten some dishes right.
First, let me start with service. Quick, attentive, and helpful, the servers took no time in getting our orders out or checking up on us. They never lowered the heat down to the point where the meat wasn't even cooking. That one bugs me a lot when I go to some kbbq places. The heat would be way to high, then almost no heat at all.
The meats were pretty good. We decided on the A+B just to try it out for our first time there. We had an order of pork belly, a couple of brisket, an order of bulgogi and like 6 orders of the beef belly (see pictures, almost looks like bacon before cooking), and the steamed egg which was a lot better than most kbbq joints. Haven't been to all so cannot say all just yet. The steamed egg wasn't watery when we got it and it stayed fluffy even after breaking it.
The meats tasted clean and were cut nicely especially the pork belly. It was thick, not thin like most places.
Ordered some appetizers such as the gyoza, cheese corn, and agedashi tofu. All three were finished pretty quickly, which meant they were really good. The tofu were thick slices with a thin coating of batter. The cheese corn was almost like a dessert to us. The gyoza did not taste like it was frozen.
They do have a lot more options in bonchon than others which include pickled daikon, bean sprouts, Kim chi, cucumbers and more. The salad was ok. Wasn't a big fan of the dressing.
Overall I believe this place can do wonders. Location is not the greatest IMO, but they are close to UNLV and Yama sushi, who is right next to them, has made it in that location for some years now.
I'll definitely give the $25 menu a try, especially for the jowl. My cousin has been wanting that stuff for a while now.
