| - This location was my introduction to Korean BBQ many years ago. Since then, a lot of other BBQ places have popped up and I haven't been here in years but I chose this place to introduce another friend to this cuisine and style of eating.
I guess they've done a little upgrade here and there since my last visit. It looks better than I remember.
We ordered the basic all-you-can-eat BBQ with shortribs, beef, pork, chicken, sausage, squid, salmon, and fish. It included the standard side dishes, rice, and soup, all for 18.99. Veggies would have been an extra 3.00. Shrimps and lamb would have increased the price by another 3.00. Ordering all of that would add up to just as much or more than I pay at similar restaurants that include everything, and more.
After explaining to my friend how everything works, we started grilling. The grill is recessed deeper than most places I've been to but the ventilation works very well. The meats were fresh and seasoned properly. The salmon, quite honestly, was cut very thin and seemed almost like secondary (scrap) cuts. I don't think the squid was very fresh either. Nor were the side dishes.
I've been eating a lot of Korean food lately and I usually enjoy the side dishes but these didn't seem very fresh. The bean sprouts were wilted and the rest of the dishes looked like they've been sitting in a fridge for a while.
While it was a decent value for what we paid, there are better Korean BBQ restaurants around now, many within a 10-minute drive. I'll probably choose one of the other places next time.
