“This was our first time getting Korean Hot Pot and BBQ. We had a fantastic time.Our server Phillip was incredible. He took the time to explain everything to us, answered our questions, and kept checking in on us throughout the meal.The selection of seafood and meat was impressive, and we left stuffed and happy. The ability to try very small portions of new things was a serious bonus.I was worried about going on a Saturday night, but we had no wait. We will definitely be back.“
“We had a lot of fun here and will definitely be back, but I admit the meal was a bit stressful for me alone with my two tween/teen boys.We did the barbecue format. The server was attentive to come back and ask what we needed and such, but the way the food is brought at this location involves the raw plates just being dropped at the table. I found myself trying to manage sauces/spices that we had gotten from the bar, raw meat, cooked meat, and everything else in close proximity. It was easy to get confused in the moment and forget about which plates and utensils had touched raw food versus which ones had only touched cooked food increasing the risk of cross contamination. I feel like if I go again on a busy night where the server has many tables to attend to, that I need to set up a system from the start to help account for that.It is almost 48 hours later and no one got sick though. So maybe I am worrying too much over nothing. I will say though that I am fairly chill about things like this, and if it was worrying me a little bit, then I know someone who is very much about food safety would have a harder time with it.My only other complaint is that right up front the server had to give this entire speech about how we were limited to 120 minutes at the table, we weren't allowed to get food that we didn't end up eating, etc. I understand that it these things are to prevent abuse, but it was a bit heavy-handed and I think the restaurant could say it less so. It was also a bit annoying that the entire table has to pick either KBBQ or hot pot. You're paying $30+ a head, is there really that big of a concern to offer both? (You can get both for an extra surcharge per head)Despite all these nitpicks, as you can see, my rating is still very good. I will definitely return. With a bit of smoothing out of the process on their side, it could easily be a 5/5 experience though.“
