The specialty at this restaurant is dak galbi, which is essentially stir-fried chicken on a hot plate. The first thing you may notice as you walk into the restaurant are the many vents above the tables, which usually signifies that something hot and delicious is going to be cooked right in front of you. This restaurant is also a place where the staff cook for you, similar to some KBBQ restaurants.
Note that if you're getting the stir-fried proteins, which is in the Chef Special section, there is a minimum of 2 orders. If you're sharing with one or more people, that usually isn't a problem then since you'll probably ordering a different amount of dishes. For a party of 2, we ordered the spicy stir-fried chicken and pork. Make sure to add some carbs afterwards, as you can add ramen, fried rice, or rice cakes to the dish to complement the meat and veggies that they give you! Oh, and if you love cheese, make sure to add that as well.
All in all, the food is very good, but it is pretty spicy. My spice tolerance is not the best, but with the combination of the heat and the spice, you might find yourself drinking a lot of water, which the staff give you a lot of, as they give you the large Korean water bottles that may have a celebrity's picture stamped on the front. It is also a lot of food, so don't underestimate how much each protein order is when the staff drop it on the hot plate. Both the chicken and the pork were seasoned perfectly, being sweet and savory due to the Korean spices being used and they pair perfectly with the vegetables that supply a bit of crunch as well as the rice and cheese. Despite it being very hot, it can be very addicting, as you scrape every last piece from the hot plate.
If you love spice and Korean food, you'll probably love everything this place has to offer. Otherwise, I'd say it's definitely worth the experience, as not many places in Queens serve dak galbi as far as I know. Oh, and if you want to take a video of the perfect cheese pull for your IG story, you can do that here as well. Just beware of the heat!
