Really good quality food and the service was amazing. Very attentive! We were all so full by the end.
A bit on the pricier side for KBBQ, but that’s expected these days.

My favorite Korean barbecue in Los Angeles. All the side dishes are fantastic and there is so much variety you can tell they really thought it through! The meat quality is also fantastic. Their marinated galbi is my favorite beef in the world. If all of that is not enough, it is also the only Korean barbecue place that cares enough about the customers that they have a ventilated stove so you don’t smell like Korean barbecue walking out of this restaurant it’s amazing.
Don't expect to cook by yourself. It was managed by the waitress and it was too sick for us, despite my asks to slow down. So we didn't hear tilted to discuss and had to eat too quickly... But nice experience
