| - Have been there twice - once for the Japanese and once for the Korean side.
The restaurant is Korean owned and uniquely split in two. The left side is Korean food, and 90% Korean customers, and the right side is Japanese teppanyaki (95% non-Korean or Japanese), with completely different menus and options. Although the restaurant is quite large, from my experience you should make a reservation if you plan on going for dinner after 7.
The service varies - the first time I went I waited over 10 minutes and 3 different servers to get a refill of water. However, in typical Korean style most of them are quite friendly. The Korean side even has one of the server calling buttons that one would see all over Korea.
The second time I was there I asked one of the young men and he basically speed-walked to get that water for me within 30 seconds! After that, I don't think he let my glass get half empty until the end of the night!
The teppanyaki chef could have had a little more enthusiasm but the food was well done and the portions sizable.
The Korean food is served in typical Korean style with various included Banchan (side dishes). One thing I HIGHLY recommend is their Doenjang jjigae. It is a little bit modernized (made with bits of beef, potatoes, and other vegetables), but you will NOT regret getting it... in fact, I'm craving it right now!
Overall, it is a little on the pricey side, lacking a bit in service at times, but the food is great and I will definitely be back as long as it sticks around!
