    We reserved this place after finding out it was recommended through the Michelin guide. Atmosphere is great and the waitress was accommodating to add 3 more people last minute. Food was okay but very pricey for the quality. Many of the meat were very tough for the premium cuts. Side dishes were okay. The server cut the pork belly separating meat from the fat and frying just the fat. It didn’t make much sense. The best food was the soondubu and radish soup. Cloud 9 cocktail was good. I was not impressed as it was recommended on the Michelin guide.

    Overall I will give 1 and a half star or 1 star due to service and the food below par. It was NOT authentic Korean food. Not good place for business dinner as you may have to cook by yourself or will end up having all the meat burned. The waiter and waiteress are not attentive at all. Vegetable fried pancake called Scallion pancake is just ordinary that may be brought out as complimentary sidedishes in any Korean restaurant. LA galbi wasn't really up to par with too many fat which I had to remove. Their chef special at $75 is below par especially if you are used to traditional korean restaurant serving decent quality of meat. Pork belly in this chef special is not worthy at all. The wagyu tastes tender but not delicious. If you know real taste of A5 Wagyu, you will be disappointed. If you have NOT teasted A5 before, you may like it because you may not know what the realy A5 Wagyu tastes like. If you go to Costco website, you can order decent quality of A5 Wagyu. One thing that I like about this restaurant is their ventilization system that was built inside the grill.

    Cool vibe inside. We got the premium meats plate for $70 and was very underwhelmed by the size of the meats. It was little square pieces of meat. The pork belly was good with the sojung paste. The A5 wagyu was ok. The ribeye was ok too. Overall, I think need to make their portions a little bigger for the price. Melon cocktail and aloe juice were good!
