| - We visited this week for my sister's belated birthday celebration. We were able to call in a reservation for a party of 8 for dinner with no trouble, at all. When we arrived, we were seated promptly and taken to our table. The only odd part was that we were in an enclosed section with two tables - 4 guests at each table. No big though.
What was absolutely amazing was the price. I have recently been trying to transition from AYCE to higher quality a la carte restaurants. I tend to overeat at AYCE and create crazy unwanted stomach problems for myself (TMI?). Anyway, we ordered a Combo C, which comes with brisket, bulgogi, skirt steak, pork belly, and lobster or short rib (we opted for the short rib after hearing from friends that it was the better deal). This also included the usual banchan (kimchee, fish cakes, salad, potato salad, etc), kimchi pancake, cheese fondue with veggies, and choice of soup. I had a long a week, so I added a bottle of rice wine to my order. My husband and I also ordered our usual diet sodas. At the end of the meal, our half (we split with Ghia G and her husband) came to $72 WITH TAX AND TIP. And we were full, but not broke from dinner... so we were happy.
Server was very attentive. He came by often so we were rarely in need of a banchan or beverage refill. He even alerted us when the meat was ready or starting to overcook at times when we were distracted by conversation.
The interior is bright and spacious.
PRO TIP AND RELATED SIDENOTE: I walked in with hair in sock bun that was dirty AF. I probably should have watched it the day before, but I didn't knowing I was going to be immersing myself in meaty smoke soon. I also walked in wearing all black, ready for any meat stainage. However, when I walked out, I was pleased to find very minimal smoke smell. Props to their ventilation!
In short, a great time was had by all.
