I met a colleague for dinner on a pleasant April evening. We chose a table on the outdoor patio and enjoyed our Galbre and bulgogi. The pan chan were ordinary, good but nothing special. The location and weather made a perfect setting for good food and a successful dinner. More

My advice is to to go with a Korean speaking gourmand who knows your taste and orders accordingly. Jinhee went the way of marinated beef which was sublime when dipped into both sauces which I'm sure was a faux pas but we tasted everything and it was all good. The seafood pancakes were like savory crepes and were a perfect... More

I've been to Seoul twice and have not had Korean BBQ since. So when my buddy from LA suggested we go there for dinner, I was eager. I was not disapponited. The food, including the meat and shrimp as well as numerous sides is very good quality and typical of Korean BBQ. If you're on a low carb diet, this... More

The architecture is stunning, so beautiful and unique! We have been many times, and always make a point to take out-of-town guests here for a special experience. The food is excellent Korean BBQ fare, and always consistently good. They get the very best beef cuts here! They even have some nice choices for vegetarians like the tofu which comes pan... More

Oh my gosh... best korean bbq ever!!! A bit on the pricey side but well worth it. I would definitely try their Kalbi and also the cold noodles (Naengmyun). Can't wait to go again. More

We went to this korean restaurant for lunch as a party of two. It was delicous! We had tiger prawns and meat as a table bbq. It came with a salad and many side dishes. Everything was soo good! Our table was on the patio which has many plants and is very lightful, great athmosphere. I would go again to... More

I booked a month in advance. Upon arrival table wasn't ready, so we waited at the bar. The decor/ambiance is out of this world! Particularly the main room! The food list is very limited but certainly drool-worthy (as I read the menu anyway). I was surprisingly shocked when my first dish came out ... I'm a horrible cook, and it... More

Why not offer all-you-can-eat like most other places. I don't like to feel like I'm paying for their real estate when I'm eating in Ktown. There are much better places in Ktown. More

The upscale architecture seems a bit out of place in this neighborhood. The gated parking lot has a security guard on patrol. The service is very good - they take the lead on cooking and are helpful in menu selection. The boneless kalbi (spelled galbee here as opposed to what I see in Hawaii) was to die for, tender and...

somewhat of an upscale korean restaurant. we had bu-gogi(marinated beef on the grill), japche(clear noodles with veggies), and yook-ga-gong (beef with veg soup). the food and service was great but i think it's somewhat expensive..if you don't mind paying few extra bucks for the nice decor, definatly try this restaurant out!
