    For one of our first experiences in a Korean BBQ restaurant, I think this was a great place to start. The restaurant is quite cosy and the service was excellent. The waitstaff explained what everything was and how to eat it. The extensive menu is filled with pictures, so no guessing about the food. Everything was really tasty and plentiful (actually, we ordered too much!). The unique cooking elements at every table were very efficient and effective. We will definitely return to enjoy this good value (Michelin recommended) restaurant in Koreatown.
