| - I heard all the hype with this place from all my Cali friends and was craving kbbq real bad so decided to check this place out! & then also ended up coming back the very next day lol.
It's located outside of Galleria mall by JC Penny. Parking was a lil shit both days but they offer valet. Interior is veryyyy nice. One of the nicest kbbq restaurants I've been to (I haven't been to many). There's even kbbq stoves at the bar, I thought that was pretty freaking neat haha.
My first visit here was with one friend. We walked in and about a handful of workers looked at us then looked at each other like they didn't know what to do before a few of them finally greeted us. We only waited about 5-10 mins to be seated so it was not a bad wait. Our waiter was really nice, she already seemed very knowledgeable about the menu and didn't hesitate to explain it. AYCE Lunch is about $14.99 while Dinner is $19.99, not bad!
Second visit was with a much larger group. Waiters still all over the place but I cut them some slack since they are still pretty brand new. You know, they forget my miso soup spoon, the straws, ask us if we ordered Premium Steak as we are CLEARLY ALL getting out of our chairs to leave lol. It's all good though, I'm still coming back!!
Anyways I wanted to get this salad issue off my chest cuz I thought it was kind of funny. During my first visit, after we had placed our order, my friend and I noticed that the couple next to us, who was seated AFTER us, received their salad before us. Or at least we though it was their salad because the way it was placed closer to their invisible dividing line so we asked for our own. Even the couple wasn't sure if it was theirs or ours so no one ended up touching it. We end up getting our own, then like 30 mins into the waiter brings out a 3rd salad all confused but just sets it by them anyway. AND THEN when we were almost finished with the meal, a different waiter finally tells us "oh that's your guys salad btw" I was like -___- why would you put it on that couple's invisible dividing line then!?!? Gaaah man get your salad shit together lol. Anyways, the food!!
Favorites: The brisket, spicy pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi, cajun shrimp, sesame chicken appetizer
Least Favorites/or just straight up hated: Red Wine Pork Belly (hated), Miso Pork Belly, Regular Pork Chop or Pork belly (I think).
The red wine pork belly literally just tasted like wine. I felt bad because I didn't care for it at all and neither did my friend who originally wanted it. The miso pork belly was slightly better. It didn't taste like miso at all and didn't have too much flavor. Now I THINK this was the pork chop, if that was even on the menu but all I know is that I didn't like it at all. It was probably the way we cooked it though but still, I just didn't really enjoy it.
The spicy pork bulgogi is a MUST. It was my most favorite out of everything. & brisket, well, I just love any brisket. It tasted like every other brisket. Nothing special but I really enjoyed it.
Overall, the service could be better. I know they are all starting out but hopefully during my 3rd visit it will have improved. Food is pretty good for the price. Place is spacious and is a great place to eat after shopping!
