| - Chez Bong, an awesomely small, intimate KBBQ (Korean BBQ) makes me happy. We arrived a little late (1 PM) for our reservation but the place was close to empty, and essentially ours. Wood walls and Korean pop music greeted us.
We ordered KBBQ (prices were average), and selected our meats, then two portable BBQ grills were brought out. Our server (Davina) got us an assortment of marinated meats (chicken, beef, and pork), cooking them on the grills, periodically flipping each morsel over. Onions and pepper slices were placed directly on the grill for us too. The bulgogi was good, not too sweet; everything was delicious. This is leisurely cooking for sure, not crazy-fast.
Wish they had a greater variety of banchan - we received three plates: greens, slaw, and kimchi. Bowls of a slightly-spicy, tangy soup, as well as lettuce, were also brought out. Take-out is offered but we cleaned our plates. Friendly Mrs. Bong Lim Lee, the owner, processed our credit cards.
Chez Bong was a welcome reprieve from a rainy morning. (Heck, we smelled like BBQ when we left. Yum.) Recommended.
