| - Just came back from the restaurant tonight. feel like sharing my experience with people. The environment was very good. Its hard to see such scale of restaurant locally. The server told me that this restaurant cost about 2 million. Each stove cost about 10 grand. The smoke was sucked under neath, so your cloth will not smell after the meal. The menu looks pleasant. beautiful pictures. Service was good. He changed my grill 4 times during the meal. These are all the good parts. Now here comes the food. the appetizer we ordered was spicy tuna volcano. of 1 to 5, I will give it a one. tuna has no flavor, the deep fried rice ball was hard. two very different textures did not match well at all. For the BBQ, I ordered scallop, Kalbi, Harami, Tongue, Chicken fondue. They have 3 kinds of sauce, Ponzu, Sweet Soy, Spicy sauce. The Ponzu was blend with out a kick or freshness. The Sweet soy is too sweet that over powers the meat flavor easily, and you can just tell it was thickened by corn starch. spicy sauce was Korean style base which was still on the sweet side. So I am not impress with the sauce. The scallop was fresh and I have no complaint. But the meat is really just so so. The reason is that the cut was bad. some thick, some thin, some stringy, some wide. they just want to make it to the weight, (which is only 4 to 5 oz. per order) for $9.00! And they cut the meat along the grain. which is a huge no no for bbq. I feel like they want to cut cost by using the end parts and cut the meat any way they can to make the portion. The marinate was too sweet and overpowering the meat flavor. However the marinate flavor was not too bad, So if you like Korean bbq style, you will like it but If you like real Japanese BBQ, you should go try Yagyu( the 2 story building by the China town) They do it right. The chicken, they use breast, which is very dry, and the fondue is just not what I am expecting when I am trying to eat bbq. The cheese was overpowering. The chicken was sticking on the grill. The grill they use is metal, really easy to get blacken by the sweet sauce. thats why the server has to change it so often(in the middle of your cooking) I prefer Yagyu's. They use cast iron grill, you can put a block of beef fat on it to enhance the flavor. And the chicken will not stick. Because yagyu is the first "Japanese" bbq place in town, so I compare between the two a lot. For the draft beer, hands down yagyu is far better. The mug was stored below freezing. So when the beer comes, the whole mug is covered with frost and the beer was frozen in side the mug and float to the top. If you are beer lover, you really have to go try Yagyu's draft beer. Tonight's beer just looks sad. And I don't like their rice. To me, a perfectly cooked rice is just as important as the meat. because you eat them together. Rice brand or the type of grain of the rice was not good. For $1.95 a bowl, they should put out something better. Over all, for the environment, and if you want to impress some people, they will do the job. The food is acceptable. But for the bbq, Yagyu is the way to go.
