Tried new lunch menu. Buljokbal taco, kimchi jjim! And 꽃살 meat combo!
Came here right at 12 for lunch on Tuesday and the service by John was amazing. The restaurant is very lucky to have him running the business. Highly recommended!
We got the Supreme Set A for three people a bit to much food for 3 but go figure it feeds 4-5 people. But overall food and sides were hella good kimchi sour level was great and meat well seasoned. The staff were very attentive and even cooked all the meat for us. Definitely gonna be coming back
This is a good, casual KBBQ experience for a group. Not the tastiest or the best bang for buck, but definitely serves as a good fix. We had a reservation for five and a toddler on a Friday night and were seated pretty quickly. Parking spaces were tight in the lot but fortunately there was a lot of street parking a couple blocks away. We ordered the supreme set A, a seafood pancake, corn cheese and bossom to share. Between us we shared a grill and had our designated cooks at the table (which is how we prefer it but some might prefer a place that cooks for you). The highlight was easily the galbi (as if often is) and we did wish that the bossom was a little less dry. The others were good (as expected) but nothing to write home about. The banchan was also very standard. Service wise, the waiters were a little slow to take our order and to give refills (for water, lettuce, etc.). Though, the yogurt soju special for our friend’s birthday was a really nice touch. Like most KBBQ places, it’s helpful to bring your own bags for your clothes as the hoods aren’t the strongest, and it can get loud, but again - it’s a fairly standard experience.
Great quality meat and sides! We got the Beef Set A and an order small intestines and thought it was a good amount for two people. My favorite was the marinated boneless short ribs, but everything else was also good, especially with the sides. Service was incredible and our server even let us try large intestines free of charge (not shown in the picture), which we ended up loving!
