All my California friends set the bar high for this place, so you can only imagine my disappointment when I found this place falling short.
There will probably almost always be a wait time, but the great thing this place offers is that they'll send you a text when your table is ready. I found it pretty convenient since you can kill time in the mall while you wait.
This place is HUGE! The biggest Korean barbecue place I've been to, which can also be why service wasn't up to par. We were seated at the high tables - something I've never experienced before. I'm not sure if they're still working out kinks with their burners, but our burner went out at least 4-5 times. It wouldn't be much of a problem if service wasn't so slow.
Now their appetizer menu is pretty darn impressive compared to other places. They also have a unique menu for their meats. I wasn't impressed too much by the quality though. It lacked finesse and that special "oomph" that sets it apart. I personally found the environment and decor more satisfying to my eyes than the food to my stomach.
I guess you can say I probably won't be returning for a while.
