| - As my first time trying Korean BBQ, I wasn't sure what to expect and I have nothing else to compare it to. I'm generally not too adventurous when it comes to trying Asian or exotic cuisine but I greatly enjoyed Seoul Chako.
First off, it's a beautiful place. I eat with the eyes and my mouth and it's always nice being surrounded by good company and a nice environment. Their decor is really modern, it has that "loungy" look with the changing ambiance lights from their entrance, to the bar and booths. Even their bathroom, especially the sink, is gorgeous!
I went on a Friday, around 6 pm. It was just the perfect time to go as it wasn't crowded and we obtained really fast service. As the evening goes on, it does tend to fill up quick. We got everything we wanted, whenever we wanted.
It helps if you are sitting somewhere near the bar, where everyone is working, or if you make eye contact occasionally with the server, otherwise they might not check up on you as often.
The food isn't complicated, I didn't get a chance to sample much but it was tasty.
I got the beef slices, spare ribs and chicken. Slight inconvenience with the chicken is that it's cut thicker than the other meats and takes a little bit more time to cook.
There's a few selection of side dishes like appetizers and meats to choose from.
I found the vegetables a little odd, as the onions, green peppers, or sweet potato for example are raw and flavorless. Putting them on the grill dried them out and I wish I knew what kind of sauces or marinades would help.
An important thing worth mentioning, is that in order to discourage waste, they charge 1$ for every piece of leftover meat. I suggest ordering things you know you will like first. Ask your waiter if you aren't sure of something or look at the tables around you.
Every order of meat comes in a portion of about 4 pieces.
There is also a few dessert choices included in the meal, the mango ice cream and pudding are delicious. I had quite a few order of those and couldn't get over the freshness and taste. The actual chunks of mango in the pudding give it a great texture.
The only drawbacks were price. I found 23$ a person on weekends a little bit much. It's a couple dollars cheaper during the week or for lunch and the menu barely varies. I also wish there was a drink included in the meal, a simple soda or tea would do.
Overall, the food is good, perhaps not mind blowing as you're cooking it yourself...but it's a great experience, definitely fun and engaging. The grill is well designed, self ventilated and clean for each customer.
I recommend this place for a date, when you aren't rushed to eat and enjoy talking or as a group outing.
