After eating at this restaurant, I ended up crying from disappointment when I got home. This is not clickbait; I genuinely cried. Upon arrival, I found that the only seasonings provided were sesame sauce, flavorless chili powder, the most basic soy sauce, and vinegar meant for cooking. If you like sesame sauce, then ignore my complaint, but the chili powder was so bland that even after adding it to my barbecue, the meat still tasted the same, without a hint of saltiness. I had no choice but to ask for extra salt, but even that didn't improve the flavor; it just made it salty, which was a surprise coming from a place that specializes in barbecue. Honestly, by that point, I had lost all appetite because eating any more meat felt like torture. It was truly distressing to pay $38 per person for a buffet and not want to eat after just a few plates, but I couldn't force myself to eat more to avoid wasting food.
But the taste was just one issue. The vent above our grill was leaking oil directly onto our meat, coating it in a glob of black grease. When a server came over to change the vent head, they suggested cutting off the unaffected part of the meat and continuing to eat the rest. Yes, they actually asked for our scissors to cut the meat, which they hadn't provided, along with plates, until they asked. I had thought eating without plates was a quirky feature of this place. By then, I was nearly at my breaking point, especially realizing it was Valentine's Day and I was spending it eating terrible food at $38 a head, leaving with just a few plates eaten between two people. The more I thought about it at home, the angrier I got. It was the worst barbecue I've ever had, bar none, and I will never return in this lifetime, and I'd dissuade any...
Read moreThis Charcoal BBQ place is mixed with Chinese and Korean style of Ayce. The taste of food is different with Korean BBQ, and it also provides seafood as Ayce as well. However, this place is raising up their prices, and it still states can't serve with 1 person only. I believe it is not very polite to person to eat alone (eventually rare to see 1 person to eat Ayce in any of the store).
In my opinion, I recommend Ribeye Steak, Beef Tongue, and Chicken Cartilage because it has large portion and delicious as well. I will come back again when I crave for...
Read moreTHE BEST BBQ IN LA, PERIOD. Most importantly, the food tastes superb! The charcoal helps expose the real flavors of different kinds of meat, layering on top hints of the fresh and sincere taste of wood. Also, it’s cheaper than most of the all-you-can-eat BBQs you get at Koreatown. You get so much good food with such a decent price (though they may have raised their price recently). AND, the service is real good! Chinese people, man, they know how to run successful and customer-friendly businesses lol. Will always take my friends here when they...
