| - Good quality beef. After the first order, we ended up ordering the beef short rib round after round, along with other things. In a way, it's is good because the short rib was so fat and tender. In a way, it's bad because there wasn't really any other items that were really good. Bibimbap was also good. Other things were good too.
They call it a Japanese bbq, but it's mainly a repurposed korean bbq place. They serve miso soup, edamame, and salmon carpaccio, and a Japanese style grill. That's about it.
At the end when we paid, I asked the guy why they didn't have lamb. He asked "you want lamb?" which gave me the impression that this topic was never brought up before. I told them chako had lamb. He was also surprised by that fact. After looking it up, chako only has lamb for weekend dinner.
Food was good, but I gotta say it's too expensive for an ayce bbq place. Chako weekend dinner is 24.99 vs Gyubee's 32.99. Gyubee's food was good, but not THAT good. If the price was around Chako's price, I'd give it 4 a higher rating. Also bottomless softdrinks were 2 dollars. Also considering weekend dinner has nothing extra, I recommend coming during the weekdays (if at all. Or just go to chako for a slightly better item variety and cheaper price).
Also dessert was the melona ice cream bar. I asked for two, but they said one per person. In most other places I've been, dessert have been all you can eat also.
Service was quick for most parts. Soft drinks were refilled more often than I was finishing them, which was a plus. I would have given 8/10 for service, but here are the bad. They did add a 12% service fee without telling us (well I do realize it's in small print on the menu, fine). I asked them whether it was added already when we went out to pay. At that moment, I only knew because my friend read about it on yelp and said it would be added already.
Upon reading other yelp reviews, I just realized that they also enforced the 2 hours seating limit even when there were other empty tables. My understanding and experience for nearly all other ayce places is that they enforce the 2 hour seating limit when they are full house. When they're not full house, they usually just let you sit and eat for as long as you want. Not so in this place.
Good food but price exceeds its value, considering the alternatives available. Fast service but the assumed service fee, strictly enforced 2 hour seating limit, and not ayce dessert left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't think I'll be coming back.
Quality: 8/10. Value: 4/10. Service: 6/10. Overall 6/10.
