In Short
Sharply dressed patrons cook their heavily marinated dishes on sizzling grills at this contemporary Koreatown restaurant. The garden area's open walls give it an airy, outdoor feel with the added comfort of a roof cover. Inside, the simple and stylish industrial decor creates a more sterile feeling conducive to cooking. Classic dishes such as the short rib cubes and soy sauce-marinated beef bulgogi are all accompanied by a host of side dishes.

You'll first see a well-lit, pristine, modern building with attractive landscaping and a valet parking service. No grafitti, trash or shopping carts here! Once you enter, you're greeted by several well-groomed staff members in suits and hanbok (Korean kimonos) -- you might even think you're in a hotel lobby. You're guided to your table and handed your menus -- try not to get overwhelmed with choices. I had the Yookgaejang ("spicy beef and scallion soup") ; my friend had the Galbee Dolsot Bibimbab ("sizzling rice hotpot with prime ribs and vegetables".) We were also given a variety of complimentary appetizers, ranging from pickled sprouts and kimchi to potato salad. Here's a quirk: they didn't have any authentic Korean beer on their menu, but they served me Kirin (Japanese) in a Hite (Korean) beer glass! A staff member stopped by our table every few minutes -- their service was incredibly attentive and polite. We were also given a complimentary cup of sujunggwa (a sweet drink made with persimmon, pine nuts, cinnamon, and ginger) for dessert. Given this great experience, I'll definitely come back again!

For me I don't think it's a fascinating place as other people said. Their menu are a bit pricey which people claim their meat quality are top notch but I disagree. Their marinate were not bad but average. They don't even have rice paper which I love. Only thing i think its beyond average for this place is the ambiance. The outside patio actually feel quite nice to hang out but their valet sucks so oh well just satisfactory star for this one.

honestly, i don't know what happened to this place. it used to be so much better! the meat quality got worse (or tougher) and i think they're starting to rely too much on their non-korean customers' unfamiliarity of korean cuisine nowadays to even realize to brush up on their act. the last couple of times i really wasn't impressed whereas i used to be consistently pleased every time i dined here, even though they're a bit pricey. i didn't mind paying so much before (for korean food) b/c the food (meaning the meat) was so good&soft. but now i'm not so thrilled about this place. i've started ordering non-bbq dishes from the menu and they're actually turning out to be a lot better than their bbq meats now. i'm hoping they improve...
