Got seated right away at 5 PM on a Saturday night. It's a loud place, and my table was no exception to the vibes. They have a pretty large menu so it might be hard to narrow down what you want. The portions are large, and you do get a couple banchan to round out your meal.
We ordered:
Galbijim
MBR wings in Soy Garlic
Creamy Rose' Spicy Rice Cake
The wings are an absolute yes, just wish they had a spicy soy garlic option. Maybe next time, I'll ask. The rice cakes were so good! They're creamy and not overly sweet. I love the shape, as it's kinda like a chewy pasta.
The galbi jim was just okay. The sauce was good but when you've had Daeho, it just can't compare. The cheese comes pre-melted so you don't get the fun torching experience. There wasn't an option to add veggies either, but do make sure you add noodles if you're getting this. The glass noodles soak up the sauce and it's super flavorful. The main reason I wouldn't order this again is because the meat wasn't tender enough. There were hella bones and you had to really gnaw at the meat to get it off. For a pretty pricey dish, I can't justify not loving it. The medium comes with 2 rice, but its plenty to feed 2-4 people, depending on what else you're ordering.
I love that the utensils, napkins, etc are under the side of the table. Water jugs aren't clear so they won't know you need a refill unless you ask. Our waiter only checked on us a couple times, and pretty far in between so if you need something, you might need to get up and find somebody. We were pretty loud (we're loud people) but nobody seemed to mind too much, so this is the place for you if you're like us. They're located right next to a bunch of other restos and a karaoke room, as well as a bars down the street. There is a tiny lot, but parking will be a bit difficult during peak hours.
