| - This place is great for a little more razzle dazzle of KBBQ. I've heard about this place but never been until recently. I'm going to be focusing on 3 things; food itself, service, and dining atmosphere.
The food here is sooooo great! It's not overly salted like other KBBQ places. I can eat many items without my throat and mouth feeling dehydrated and weird. They have a great selection of items, with your classics of sliced beef and pork, fish, squid, shrimp, etc. They're Korean short ribs were phenomenal! I think my favorite of all time. And especially being able to cook it to my liking which is extra crisp, it was perfect. They had more veggies than other KBBQ places which I like, to cut through the richness of the meats. I do wish they had a bigger dessert menu, because I mean, who doesn't save room for dessert. But that wasn't a big issue, I came here mostly for the meats and veggies. Overall, great flavor, great variety! I'd rate this 5/5
The service was good, the server seemed frantic and was running around a lot even though his section of the restaurant wasn't that busy. There were times when I needed assistance and it took me a couple tries to get his attention. He was a friendly and outgoing server who liked to talk to the people at my table which was nice. The only thing that I wasn't so happy with, and I know some restaurants do this - a service charge. I understand that servers may be frustrated that people do not tip, but I personally think it should not be forced upon a customer who is dining, to pay a service charge. Especially if service was not good. And I think, especially for a place like KBBQ where customers cook their OWN food, I just felt it wasn't right to automatically include a service charge in the bill. I'd rate this 3/5
The dining atmosphere was great, a very modern but classy look. The marble (I think?) steps and the black on the curtains and walls made the restaurant look that much more sophisticated. It wasn't too noisy and the tables were all spaced out nicely. I do wish the tables were a bit bigger, especially going with a big group when you order lots of items and the grill already takes up a lot of space. I'd rate this 4.5/5
Overall, I think this is a great place for KBBQ, great variety of items to grill and with wonderful, bursting flavors. Meats were tender and veggies tasted fresh. Wasn't overly salted, I definitely recommend!
