| - I love Korean BBQ so much that I bleed, sweat, and cry brisket fat drippings.
Now put that cow tongue on my human tongue. Aw yis!
Anywho, let's cut the chitchat and jump right into the review. Depending what you order, the portions can be either pretty generous or really skimpy. Like the pork belly here are ridiculously tiny and extremely frozen. This bacon comes to you ready to plank [y'all remember when planking was a thing?]. I didn't enjoy how a lot of the thicker cut items were frozen as it made the meat steam. I want that char-grilled goodness! The marinades and seasoning are definitely on the softer hand of things as well. The Sesame Marinated Beef, Angus Prime Brisket, Beef Tongue, Octopus, and Marinated Beef Rib Finger Meat were decent. Everything else was pretty basic. The steamed egg is something you should try and the cheese corn is something you can pass on. The meat quality is pretty average.
When our first round of goods got to the table, our server dumped all our entrees onto the grill and all I could think about was how that raw chicken was tainting my beef tongue. Since tongue cooks up a lot faster than chicken, I cringed and made sure to overcook the heck out of the tongue to avoid salmonella. Overcrowding the grill with five entrees also didn't help with the cooking. Everything was just steaming by that point. After the second round of food, we asked our server to just set the dishes down and let us grill it ourselves and at our own pace. The service was pretty sparse and flagging our waitress down to order more food was a challenge as they were shorthand and it was quite busy. There were long periods where we just sat around staring at our dirty grill [which we did have to call someone over to change] while either waiting for food, waiting for water refills, or waiting for our waitress to reappear so we can order more food. Also, perhaps it was just our table, but our grill had some uneven heat going on.
This place also has the worst ventilation system. We all know you'll end up getting smoky at KBBQ but this was like tear gas status. It was insanely smoky and one of my friends had to step outside because she was starting to feel ill from all the smoke. The smoke can literally be seen sitting in the air like Karl the Fog in San Francisco. They kept their doors open to try and keep the place clear but it didn't really help and I can only imagine how much smoke will be trapped in that building come summertime when the doors are shut and the A/C is on.
All in all, I don't think I'll be back. Why settle when there are some great AYCE KBBQ places out there with much better service and product? Also, if you do come here, I suggest bringing cash. Splitting a check is a nightmare here.
