This is where meat and kimchi lovers explode. I belong here. As I was getting my kimchi craving satiated, I overheard a couple talking. Obviously, it was the bf's first time. Dude: "So, this is a restaurant where you have to like, cook your own meat?" Girl: "Yup! You bring the meat to the table and cook!" Looks at him with the biggest smile, ever. Dude: Looks lost and kinda grossed out. Holds up meat. "Oh. So, what is this?" Looks at the meat suspiciously. Girl: "That's chicken" Dude: "Are you sure? I bet it's cat." Girl: "No! It's chicken." Dude: Looks disgusted. "I bet it's cat. This whole buffet is cat. Cat!" This exchange embodies cross-cultural clashes. I love it. A great and clean cook-it-yourself Korean bbq restaurant. It's so much better than rival Woo Che BBQ a few blocks west. The concept is straight forward: server heats up the grill; you choose from a buffet of uncooked meats, salads, appetizers, soups and bring it your table; start grilling your meats, eat, and enjoy. Repeat. I loved it. The combination of fresh flavorful cooked meat and spicy fermented cabbage is deliciously intoxicating to my soul. I also enjoyed the cucumber salad, noodles, and pumpkin soup. I frequented so many times with the meat that a gentlemen next to our booth remarked, "I like your appetite!". Guilty. At $20+ per person (during dinner), I wanted my moneys worth, duh. My only gripe is that I wish they had more veggies to grill (i.e. eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers) and dessert options. Strawberries would've been a perfect ending. Service was friendly and our waitress helped clean the grill frequently. The blend of fresh ingredients, friendly service, and a funny overheard exchange permits a recommendation.
