| - I haven't been here in a while - the last time I came to Korean grill house, AYCE was $9.99 and they still had a location downtown. For a belated Valentine's Day and after a very long day, my boyfriend and I decided to get some AYCE late night kgrill. This KGH location is in markham/Richmond hill in a plaza with a ton of other food competitors. There's THREE bubble tea stores in this plaza alone. But the smell from kgrill is so empowering in the parking lot.
Their night owl special for Monday-Thursday is $13 for the basic meats. It's from 10 to 12 which is closing time. Lunch from Mondays to Thursdays is also $13. We got here at 10:40 when there was ample parking right in front and only 4 other tables with patrons. I like this place because it's the cheapest Korean BBQ place in the area that I know of, and the restaurants are always clean. Food is also sliced very thin which makes it easy and fast to cook. AYCE comes with rice, kimchi, beef soup, tofu, and sprout.
My boyfriend really enjoyed his beef, and I found the chicken okay. Their meats are a little salty (I remember it used to be sweeter). You can use the sauce at the table which is like sweet soy sauce. By 11pm, we had only ordered 3 or so dishes to get started, they came around and said it was last call. It was 11pm! Last call?! I don't know why they have last call an hour before closing if the meat doesn't even have to be cooked! We ordered another 9 or 10 dishes of meat and we didn't even know if it would be enough or too much.
Overall, best bang for your buck. We ordered 13 dishes for $26 which is really cheap in my opinion. The taste is okay - you get what you pay for. I'll probably be back (but at 10pm so I avoid this 'last call' business).
