"A Korean barbecue spot that may feel puzzlingly quieter than its sister restaurant down the block, yet still ranks as a top recommendation for Korean barbecue newcomers. The menu has dropped its signature ddukgalbi, but the bulgogi and pork jowl remain highlights: the jowls are described as “fatty and plump” that “gain a nice crisp edge from the searing hot steel grill pan.” Banchan and sauces are noted as on-point, including a dressed salad, shaved green onion slaw, and pickled radish slices. The write-up concedes it “might not have that “new restaurant shine” anymore,” while still praising its grilling technique and accessibility for first-timers. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
