The kalbi spare ribs here are some of the best in town. It's a wee place but super clean. Every dish there is excellent as well as the service. There's a part of me that wants to keep this a secret but since they are so good, we have to share the word. If you order several bbq plates, they will change out the grill for you. Wonderful sauces redolent of the sesame, garlic and pepper.

Great Galbi – This place should have much higher ratings than it has. We were a party of 6 and had the multiple orders of the galbi and bulgogi. Galbi is the best here. Orders are pretty large so you can share (we ordered 5 meat items for the 6 of us). The location, especially the so-called valet, is rather shady looking, but the food is worth it.

Great neighborhood restaurant – I've eaten at many korean bbq restaurants, some good some bad. I really enjoyed this place because of their great side dishes, service, and a gracious hospitality. Even though I can't read or speak a word of Korean, the staff made my experience wonderful.
