Very well-deserved 5 stars!
Came here on a weekday early afternoon to see that a good handful of the tables filled. But that didn't stop the amazing service at this place! Once you walk in, a hostess will take your party size and offer you free slushie while you wait for your table to be ready.
We went with the Small Hobak Family Combo. You get a good amount of meat per plate as the servers bring and prepare one after another. Keep in mind that the servers will pretty much do all of the cooking so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the food! If you try to even touch the tongs, you'll see that the they'll use their walkie talkies to alert one another followed by someone coming quickly to your table to offer assistance! (Shout-out to our gr8 servers Cody and Ryan!)
Hobak serves different banchans compared to other KBBQ places! Their bean sprout salad definitely takes the cake. It had a slight kick and it was so tasty on its own or with the meat. Meat-wise, the skirt steak was probably my favorite. Go try it for yourself and you'll see why (': But my favorite was definitely the dessert! It was a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two Korean rice pop cake with red bean paste and strawberry jam. Never had anything like it before and I was SO amazed.
Just an FYI, this is not an AYCE place. But what you don't get in quantity, you get in quality. Plus, we were pretty much filled with all the other items included in each combo!
Definitely will see us soon!
