    Excellent experience although pricey for Korean BBQ. Have been to Koreatown in LA with excellent meat as well and not as pricey. But the service was great and attentive and the cuts of meat were delicious. The galbi could have been a little more marinated and the ban chan were plentiful (and refilled often). Perhaps a little noisy but overall a good time.
