  • Excellent Korean bar-be-que pretty much all night. I've heard people (that is, non-Koreans) complain that they were treated poorly here, but I've always been welcomed, with explanations offered if necessary. More panchan (little side dishes) than any other Korean restaurant I've visited.

  • Better than some other Korean BBQ places we have tried- often a wait. The tons of small dishes served at the beginning of the meal here are more appetizing than in other places (at least to an American). The fried vegetable pancake was surprisingly light and not greasy. Hard to argue with an endless supply of cook-your-own meats, but your hair will smell like BBQ for days.

  • service might be a "0" but its speedy...you don't come here for service with a smile but the food is well worth it.

  • Amazing Korean food, which you can grill at your table over hot coals! If you like kimchee, get ready for the 20 small plates your waitress will serve you with your meal.

  • Some places are good for posh dates and some are for eating too much panchan and drinking Korean beer. This is the latter. Go only if afterwards you want to smell like meat smoke and have had a good time.
