| - Overall this is a cool little place. The food/service doesn't really jump out at you, but the experience of having the grill and the cold beer make it a fun group outing.
Food: The food was in the decent to slightly above decent range. I found the platters to be a great value and would like to venture beyond that. The platters are a nice mix of proteins and japanese/korean appetizers. The Kim Chee veggies were nice, the Cali Roll/Miso a bit bland. I would like to go a little further off menu sometime soon though. The meat was normal value, you can certainly get more at other places, higher quality at other places, but this did the job.
Fun Factor: There's a lot to enjoy here. First of all the 29* Beer. There's a digital thermometer that always reads the temperature. I'm not sure why, but I was endlessly entertained by the changing temp gauge. Secondly, they give you very well laid out platters
Convenience: It's a big place so you can usually get in pretty quickly. Additionally, since you generally cook most of your own food the food does get there pretty quickly, which is nice esp compared to some of the other places in the center.
Ambiance: Definitely nice and clean. When I was there, no music on and not terribly crowded so it seemed a bit sterile, but to be fair it was a fairly early Wednesday night.
Serivce: Service was best described as laid back. They were nice, but not terribly attentive after our original order. Additionally, I was a bit perturbed because after the meal, I wanted to have a nice cold beer and hang and digest; and they pretty much immediately brought the check.
Consequently, I enjoyed the place. Nothing spectacular, but a fun idea and a great change of pace. I'd certainly go again. Cheers!
