| - It's yummy but also slightly intimidating, very confusing and pricey.
My boyfriend and I were planning to get korean bbq at kookminghagyo but the line up was way too long so we decided to give this place a try. They opened not long ago but the place was already packed and we were the only non korean party in the restaurant.
Having never had authentic korean bbq, we weren't sure of how everything works but we were never really explained anything. Taking a shot in the dark, we decided to go with two portions of pork meat: the jowl and the butt (200g each). The stove came with sides of kimchi, buttery cheesy corn and egg (we had no idea what you had to do with the egg...) and we also got a few side dishes: some pickles, something that looked like mashed potato, more vegetables, carrot sticks (once again, no clue on how everything is supposed to work).
200g turned out to be very little meat, we got two pork chop sized slices for the pork butt and roughly 15 small stripes for the jowl. It was definitely not enough for the two of us. Towards the end of meal, they brought us a soybean soup which was way too spicy for us (we have a pretty high tolerance for spicy).
Overall, it was such a confusing dinner and we both left hungry. We really wish that we were given more instructions on how everything works and how much to order.
