| - After peering numerous times into the Bloor St. location, I was pleased to be brought to the Mississauga location to get a little taste of what I had been missing.
And, it's great. And this is coming from someone who avoids the downtown Korean BBQ joints like the plague (who wants to eat a red meat-only meal that all tastes the same?). However, I was thrilled to see that their grilling options extended well beyond chicken, pork and beef. Squid! Ribs! Mussels! Oyster mushrooms! And as an added bonus, the meal feels a bit more well-rounded with a choice of a giant side salad or lettuce to wrap your grilled gourmet into. The raw options are beautifully presented, and cleanliness is at it's best, with your grill tops changed after every single meat session (about 3-4 times a seating).
The atmosphere is also something that wins me over. Warm, woody, and complete with private rooms that are always bustling with laughter. And hey, the flat screen showing the NBA game is also nice (though a tad out of place). Fellow Yelpers are right in calling out the service though - while the servers are very very friendly, they are also slow. Bonus though! They kindly set up a platter of 5 different scoops of ice cream complete with candles and a song to celebrate a birthday for us. Lovely. And on the house, of course.
All in all, this was an experience that turned me from a KBBQ hater to a selective KBBQ lover. Though something not to love? The stank of barbeque that somehow lingers on your clothes for at least 3 days... more to love!
