| - the best Korean "tasting" BBQ in Vegas vS.
1. Mother's Grill
2. Dae Jang Keum Korean BBQ
3. Korean Garden BBQ
4. Honey Pig
5. Shilla Korean BBQ
not to mistake this place with the best in atmosphere, ventillation, service, etc... and here's why:
LAYOUT
Mother's Grill is spacious, clean and the decor is satisfying.^^ you'll find the typical wooden tables, booths and ventillation fans above grills throughout the restaurant. the seating is comfortable anywhere you sit and there are private rooms in the back for large parties.
the only CON i can think of is the ventillation can be poor.? i think this is a common problem if you do a BBQ indoors (you leave smelling greasy), but Dae Jang Keum Korean BBQ actually doesnt suffer from it.
SERVICE
is prompt and the servers attentive to cooking your food and your needs. this is probably because i've never seen Mother's Grill packed at any time of the day (2pm OR 2am). tho, i don't think being "crowded" detracts from "tasty" food anyways... in retrospect, i think the fact that it stays open late (2am) and is not crowded is a win-win situation for getting the delicious foods to you.^^
special note: Mother's offers a discount to Military personal. i think it's around 15%.^^
FOOD
Mother's Grill has, IMHO, the best tasting meat dishes when you are looking for Korean BBQ. i've always found their meats WELL marinated as opposed to many of the above mentioned restaurants. additionally, their serving of SALAD is excellant and flavorful... i don't know why some places don't understand how tasty meat dishes are when they are wrapped in savory salads.
i've never had anything else off the menu besides the BBQ meats so i can't really justify a 5-star rating... but we're talking Korean BBQ here.^^
PRICING
i must admit, for how uncrowded this place can be, Mother's Grill is a TAD pricier then normal by $2-$3 vS. other establishements. i personally don't mind... i know i'm paying for a VERY good meal.^^
CLOSING
underrated and overlooked... i am dumb-founded as to why i'm not waiting in line to eat here everytime i go. but if you want to understand just how good Mother's Grill is, then try ordering the Short Ribs in special sauce (a basic dish every Korean BBQ has)... then eat it with their salad. after this, goto any other Korean BBQ and repeat. i think you'll understand what i'm saying then.^^
Recommendation:
1. all their BBQ meats - especially their Short Ribs.!
2. setup a conveyor belt for the Salad - cause it's FREE.!!
AVOID ordering the BBQ shrimp. you're buying 8 shrimps for $24 if i recall correctly. not that it's not good - it's just dumb.^^
