General Notes

Many of my friends say this is their favorite KBBQ place, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the beef small package, which included boneless short rib, skirt steak, rib finger, and seasoned short ribs. It also came with a whole host of unlimited banchan, steamed egg, kimchi stew, rice, and ice cream with apricot jam.

The meats were great, especially the boneless short rib. The other meats were decent but not as noteworthy. Next time I visit I might try ordering a la carte, I'd be particularly interested in trying the pork jowl. My main complaint with the meats was that the service felt a bit rushed (parties of 2 have a 1.5 hour time limit). They cooked really fast so by the time we ate some of the meats towards the end they were a bit cold. Servers cook the meat for you.

The banchan really stood out to me -- I really enjoyed the watercress kimchi, and the scallion salad / pickled onions are always amazing accompaniments to the meats.

From what I could tell, seems like a pretty popular date spot.
