What an experience! I'm not made of money so this is the nicest place I've ever been. All the food was amazing, servers were very nice (helpful with my allergies), and the food got to us surprisingly quickly. I'm told the menu changes frequently so it's probably not worth recommending a dish, but everything I tried was great. It's all family style, and they recommend purchasing 2 dishes per person. I would say that's probably right, but some items were huge (the bibimbap in particular), and some items are tiny (steak was 6 bite size pieces of heaven). Be aware, this place is expensive for your average Joe. It's easy to blow $125 a person here. This will not be a regular place for me simply for cost reasons, but I would say everybody should go there at least once.
