| - Full disclosure, I'm not really a fan of Korean BBQ to begin with, but the hubby likes it so we have Hwaro a try. Don't get me wrong, I love Korean food, but I just feel like if I wanted to cook my own food, I'd stay at home and cook. But I digress, lol...
The pros - service was great. We made a reservation and the table was set up with ban chan as soon as we arrived. The food came quickly and servers stopped at our table frequently to see how our food was, if we needed anything, etc. I enjoy the ban chan almost as much as the main course and the ban chan here was really good. I also liked that the meal came with steamed egg and tofu soup.
The cons - I was expecting the meats to be more flavorful. The kim chee tasted like it was made a month ago (full of spice and flavor) but the meats (chicken, kalbi) tasted like it wasn't marinated long enough or with enough marinade. The sweet and spicy pork also tasted like it was missing something. Here more than anywhere, the meat is supposed to be the highlight of the meal, but for us, it wasn't.
All in all, the experience was good, but the food fell slightly short.
