    Bernard, our waiter, gave really good suggestions, explanations, and great service. Order rib eye and kimchi mari noodle as well as purity black tea. Overall really good restaurant for a night out.

    Their restaurant week lunch is a fantastic deal. Get the wagyu burger or opt for the wagyu rib eye (only $5 supplement).

    Dry aged rib eye cooks beautifully on the crystal grill (the waiters will do it in front of you). Get it rare! And try the mustard miso wasabi sauce that comes with it.

    The crystal bowls are mighty fancy and nothing beats this trendy/modern take on Korean BBQ that doesn't break the bank. Luxury vibe, delicious pre-fixe and great drinks. Highly recommend the Sundubu!

    I never leave reviews but this place deserves it. The food is outstanding and the service is bar none. Can't go wrong here. Order the waygu beef/pork belly. Ask for Bernard.

    What a gem. Had an amazing filet mignon BBQ with the tofu appetizer. All delicious. And the excellent service is a big plus!

    Fancier Korean BBQ with quality meat selection. If you don't know how to cook, make sure your server sticks around to help. You don't want to over cook your Wagyu.

    Get the bulgogi jeongol for two - tastes like mom made it at home. Kalbijim during lunch is delicious! Meat is perfectly tender and seasoned and falls off the bone

    Get the galbi and dip it in the brownish sweet sauce. Also, the pork belly buns. Ugh and that free seaweed salad side. My mouth is watering.

    It may be expensive, but it's absolutely worth it. Best daikon I've ever had, and the ribeye is unbelievable.

    Great, relaxing atmosphere on the second floor. Cucumber cocktail from heaven. Check it out!

    Though it's a Korean BBQ spot, their naengmyun noodle dish is outstanding. Best appetizer may be the Chadolbap.

    Your pork belly sided with locally-sourced shrimp is cooked on in-table grills made from 99.9% natural crystal, so even the OWS protesters like eating here... Read more

    Get the rib eye. It's amazing. It's like a steak, but cooked in front of you.

    If they run out of the bulgolgi spring rolls (which are delightful), they will offer you the same dish made with duck.

    Don't let the waiter leave the grill. Our food was way overcooked. We had to send the pork belly back. It was like eating a shoe.
