For a first timer, this is the place to go. But it doesn't end there, my friend from LA who brought me with him for dinner is a longtime lover of Korean BBQ, and according to him LA is the place to be for it, but even he loved it! Let's stick to my review though: the food was great, but I don't have enough experience to compare it to anything. However, I can say it was very flavorful and our server did a good job grilling it up. David (our server) was very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He answered all of my questions and made suggestions that I could not be happier with. The ambience and environment was very enjoyable, music was at a nice volume, and the bathrooms are SICK. Prices were more than fair for the food we received, let alone the service that came with it. Will definitely be returning!
