I'm from SoCal which is a Mecca for great Korean BBQ and great Korean and Korean fusion food in general. Maybe the best in the country. I've eaten a lot of good Korean BBQ and there are plenty with great cuts of meat and clever and indulgent side items (like scrambled eggs cooked in meat fat and juices) but I thought 8oz was one of the best Korean BBQ because of the one thing that's close to my heart. It had the best meat cookery of any place I've been to. Each piece of meat was perfectly cooked and expertly cut. At the end of the day, with burgers and steaks, I'm not so much concerned about all the gimmicky frills, I just want my meat perfectly seasoned, cooked, and presented. All of which 8oz nailed. As a side bonus, which really doesn't move the needle much when rating a place, but I thought they had a great list of beers on tap. And they all went great with the food.
