It was quiet here on a Sunday night at 6pm when we first arrived. My first thought was - wow, there's too much food to choose from. But we went with the Better Together - BBQ & Sushi Combo For 2.
At the price of $79.99, it came with: Arisu Beef Short Ribs Galbi + Boneless Ribs + Bulgogi + Assorted Tempura + 6pcs assorted sushi + 4 pcs assorted sashimi + your choice of dragon maki roll (black/green/red) + ssam (veggie wrap) + dessert drink + miso soup + rice + banchans.
I started off with a red ginseng tea, which was very interesting and very different from Chinese ginseng. The salmon sashimi's cut was too thick, but all the other sushi and the black dragon roll was good (they had red tuna). And then the table cooking! For $79.99 you would have thought that the meat portion would be a lot bigger. Anyways, the meat were all perfectly cut. Nice and thin. Yes, some of you would be like.. the thicker the better! It's so small! Well.. no. It actually tastes a lot better thin. The quality of the meat was really good. Especially the bulgogi. Marinated to perfection - not too salty and not too bland. If you're looking to stuff your mouth full of meat, you're better off going to an AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. But I guarantee the meat texture and taste will not be the same. The only thing I want to complain about is that the grill got burnt TOO fast! We cooked 4 pieces of meat and the center got all burnt within a few seconds. We had to change our grill 5-6 times. Luckily, the servers were amazingly nice and attentive every time and offered to change the grill before we even asked them to. Service 5/5 right there! There were quite a bit of banchans - peanut, cucumber, kimchi, tofu, and bean sprouts. I was kinda disappointed at the kimchi.. It tasted very watered down, which made me question - are authentic Korean kimchi supposed to taste watered down?! I'm assuming not. Finally, the dessert drinks - cinnamon punch. O_O...... It wasn't disgusting.. but it wasn't amazing. It literally was just ...[dot dot dot]. An eye opener drink. A taste I've never had. Apparently cinnamon punch is a traditional Korean fruit punch. Hm, interesting. Well, I certainly don't know how to drink it but I'm sure a lot of other people would love it.
Overall, we had a good time. The food was good, but unfortunately it didn't wow me enough to make me want to drive the distance to come back again. Perhaps if I happen to be in the area then yes, I would go back.
