| - So we heard Gangnam had a set menu, and since we were craving BBQ but not necessarily AYCE, we thought it would perfect. First of all, the pork set menu is a DEAL! $22 for like 4 or 5 different types of pork plus steamed egg and soybean paste stew. Luckily, they don't skimp around with the meat, especially the bulgogi! We appreciated that, because we did have a worry it would be a small amount. Honestly, though, I don't think the beef set menu is worth it for the price alone. It's, like, $35? With just $5 more you can get 2 AYCE and get everything included in the set menu and more! So just keep that in mind.
Now for the food. I've seen some people on yelp complain about the meat quality, but personally I found no problem with the quality. In fact, I found it to be much better quality than Gen (but still not as good as Manna). So that's a plus! But I had some other issues... first of all, the side dishes were just plain bad lol. Their "ssamjang" was not good either. Soybean paste soup was just ok taste-wise, although I appreciated the amount of ingredients in it. Also, the pork bulgogi tasted good, but it didn't feel homemade- it felt like the jar of sauce you get at the Asian market.
Overall, we would come back for the set menu if we want BBQ but are feeling cheap. It's a good deal and the meat quality is good. Service is also really good (we liked our server a lot, she was attentive but not overbearing)! I just have to knock it for these other aspects. I don't know if I'd come back here for regular AYCE, as Manna definitely beats it in every other aspect.
