"Out of all the spots in this guide, K-Elements has the most range. The Richmond spot has a lengthy menu of meat (including cuts you don’t typically see at KBBQ spots, like filet mignon) and an impressive selection of seafood. We especially like the spicy baby octopus, which are thoroughly coated in a decently fiery marinade. This place is always packed with a revolving door of friend groups, families, and dates catching the game on one of the big TVs—so come early or expect a wait. The grilled protein palooza will run you $36.95 per person. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
