| - Today we visited this restaurant with a party of four who are friends from the San Francisco area. We were quite pleased.
The decor and the ambiance are quite unique from the regular Korean eateries.
There was a short wait when we came in. When we were taken to the table, all the side dishes were laid out and ready for us. The menu is quite simple, only beef and pork and side dishes. There is no chicken nor seafood on the menu. For vegetarians, I guess you can get by as well.
We ordered the family combination for 4 people. There were four different meats - skirt steak, short ribs, spicy short ribs and pork ribs. the waiter cooked on the table top in front of you. The meats were all of different distinct flavors, very delicious and tasty. Quality was excellent and the quantity was more than enough.
Included in the dinner were various Korean side dishes that can be refilled on request. A steam egg casserole and a bean paste soup also came with the dinner. For deserts, rice cake ice cream sandwich, absolutely delicious was also part of the meal. For $89 for 4 for such quality and quantity is definitely worth a 5 star.
My two negative comments are: 1. The music was way too loud, making casual conversation a wee bit difficult. 2. The spicy pork was good but also too spicy.
As with all Korean food, where garlic is used for marinating, there is always a breath issue after consuming a Korean meal. This establishment provides mouth wash, tooth brush and etc for their customers. The first I have ever seen in a Korean restaurant.
Wait staff was courteous and knowledgeable.
Very impressed even with a couple negatives.
