| - So nice, I had to go back twice (in one week). Fellow yelper Rica M.'s birthday celebration was pushed out, but I had been salivating over photos of this place for the whole week already. My husband and I decided to eat here anyway. Ryan was our server and he was engaging, informative, and cooked our meat perfectly! I know some reviews mention some difficulty with the quantity of food, but we really found the meal set we got for two people was more than filling and we had enough left over to go. The banchan here is slightly upgraded from the ACYE joints and they give you a soup option as well - we went with the tofu soup. The only thing I would point out is that the tofu soup did have shellfish and seafood, which neither the menu or the servers pointed out, so those with allergies or aversions to shellfish/seafood beware. The dessert at the end of the meal was a cheesecake shaved snow cream with chocolate, which allows you to end your meal on something not so heavy. I'm not a huge meat eater, but I did like the quality of the meats we ordered and the service/cooking of these meats better than what I've had at Hobak. I also like the restaurant area and ambiance of this place a bit better, and for now, wait times are very reasonable to non-existent.
We ended up going back with a party of 8 a week later to celebrate Rica's birthday (see Regina I.'s detailed review!). We were split into two tables of 4, which was fine. We found the larger family meal big enough for the 4 of us at our table and didn't find the need to order more meats. I was hoping Ryan could be our server again, but we ended up with someone else who was a bit busier and not as attentive (they also had to juggle our two tables and all the other parties they had though). The Korean food scene (non-ACYE) is steadily improving and getting more competitive in Las Vegas and 8oz is definitely a contender for #1.
