Servers’ recommendations: Tsubo kalbi
What we ordered: Assorted vegetables, seafood yaki (salmon, scallop, squid, shrimp, and green mussel), prime outside skirt
Number in our party: 3 (Sarah is the guest critic today!)
Final check amount: $47.99
NOTES
- Sarah liked the mussels, and the skirt steak was delicious.
- It does not come with endless rice, which we now expect from eating at Korean BBQ restaurants.
- The salmon tasted too fishy.
- The marinated meat was chewy.
- It would have been helpful if the vegetables had been par-cooked. They took forever till they were done.
- It was frustrating compared to other BBQ experiences — there was just so much hungry waiting involved! Gah!
