The Scene – There's nothing fancy about the decor here. The unpretentious setting allows diners to concentrate on the food. A feast for the senses, the meal is grilled directly at the table's charcoal pit. Any language confusion with the swift-footed servers adds to the authenticity of the experience. – – The Food – The highlights of the menu are the barbecue options, with about a dozen meat choices from bulgogi beef, thin-sliced rib-eye, to kalbi, short ribs. Server will assist with the grilling, but stir in your own seasonings, such as garlic and green peppers, to…
Couldn't become a favorite

I'm very surprised at the high ratings this restaurant has received. The food isn't terrible, but it's not very good Korean food- fried appetizers are too greasy, and not seasoned well, Bulgogi dishes are not spiced well and the meat has too much fat. The food quality does not nearly justify the price, especially when there are so many other Korean BBQ restaurants around this area with better food and the same or lower prices.
Besides the food, the staff seems overly indifferent to the guests. Server put a hot bowl of soup next to my arm. Food took much too long to make, for how many people were in the restaurant.
How a place like this can stay open, while Korean Garden down the road shuts down is beyond me (location?). Something I thought was interesting though- no person in the restaurant was Korean besides me, and I certainly won't be going back.
- Cons: too pricey for what you get, staff is not very good
Cleaner habits please?

Don't get me wrong, the food was very tasty, until I noticed some bad sanitation habits. I noticed the lettuce (served on a plate by itself), is being recycled between customers. For example, when customers finish eating, the servers will come and pick up the plate with the lettuce that the customer didn't eat ONLY. Why not pick up the other dirty dishes? The dishboy eventually comes and picks up the other dirty dishes. Ah ha, the server takes the uneaten lettuce and use it for the next customer. Yes, that will save them money, but how do you know if the last customer touched or coughed bacteria /virus on it. I also noticed a server's nose was runny and she kept wiping her runny nose on her sleeve! Our waitress wasn't too nice or attentive as well. I for one would not recommend this place!
- Pros: tasty food
- Cons: no clean habits are being used
DISGUSTING
by atlgirl123 at Citysearch
I found an insect in my food and told the waitress. She took a look at it, and upon realizing that it was an insect, walked away, pretending to inspect it further, rolled it in between her fingers, came back and said "It's not an insect it was a burnt flake in the food." I said to her "I saw the antennas on the insect before I saw you roll it up with your finger." She kind of just ignored me then walked away.
I believe this is a horrible way to conduct business. Not only did she not apologize, she LIED and told me that I was wrong, didn't approach me the rest of the dinner, then charged me for my meal. Needless to say, I will NOT be eating there ever again.
