All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ with filet mignon & baby octopus
"Closed as of Sunday, November 23, this Clement Street spot served all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue for eight years; in a Facebook post announcing the closure, the team wrote that “the landlord has raised the rent to a level we simply cannot sustain.” They thanked staff and customers and added, “We are devastated. We are grateful for the years of support. And above all, we are honored — deeply honored — to have been part of your lives.”" - Dianne de Guzman
"Price: $36.95 for adults, $18.95 for kids K-Elements BBQ is a Korean BBQ restaurant with one of the longest protein menus in the city—in addition to meats like beef belly, filet mignon, and lamb shoulder, they also have a ton of seafood options, from garlic butter clams to spicy baby octopus. The family-friendly Richmond spot is great for groups, and also has enough TVs to fill in any awkward meat-flipping silence." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"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
"The all-you-can-eat KBBQ scene isn’t exactly plentiful in this town, but K-Elements proves it’s about quality over quantity. The AYCE spot in the Richmond is packed nightly with people of all ages flipping slices of pork belly and zucchini on a smoky grill. Their meat selection is lengthy (over a dozen options), and you’ll see everything from filet mignon and saucy bulgogi to baby octopus. There are also add-ons like soondubu and some solid sweet chili chicken wings. The easygoing space is also full of neon lights and wall TVs playing sports, in case you need to distract yourself while waiting for the 3rd or 20th round of meats to arrive." - julia chen 1, lani conway
