| - A very solid restaurant across the board.
I have to admit, I was quite amused when I walked up to the front door of this place and saw that they had a "Recommended on Yelp" sticker attached to the door. I felt I owed it to them to give a review in recognition of the great food and service.
I came here (as of this writing) last week to celebrate my birthday with family. We had a five-person party and were seated immediately after checking in with our reservation. The ambience is definitely nice - there's a darker restaurant with large TVs and a bar, and a separate "party" area with four massive tables and sliding door entry to the room.
We all had the lunch AYCE special, which I found to be very fair for the price (about $16 or so per person). We did a mix of Korean and Japanese (sushi) dishes, and it was generally on point across the board.
I can't say I'm big on the bibimbob (just a personal preference - nothing to do with the quality of the food), but everything was great. We had a couple large orders of sushi, kimchi, short ribs and seaweed salad, and the waitresses accommodated us very well (gave us extra ginger, spicy mayo, a pitcher of water). There were a couple points where food we ordered didn't come out until much later (sometimes, an hour or more after we ordered), but that's a minor gripe.
Some of the portion sizes were also small (e.g. one spring roll per AYCE order), so we had to order multiples at a time. The dessert ice cream sizes weren't anything to write home about either.
The hostess was very friendly, and was nice enough to wheel out the birthday cake we brought on a rolling tray. We ended up giving her a slice of it in appreciation.
Insofar as the "Korean BBQ" aspect, I can't really comment on it. There's another place I usually go to for this type of food (Chako, up at the north end of the city), but I was very impressed with Miga. I now understand why my family and friends speak so highly of it.
Definitely recommended.
