Korean Bbq

After a good ski day in Vail, we decided to drive back to Aurora for a good Korean BBQ. The place is usually packed. We waited for about 45 minutes to get seated. There was a bit of technology issue when our name on the list was canceled but the hosts were able to fix it with grace. They were apologetic and gave us a table. We ordered the meat combo with 4 meats. The meats are good, sides are exceptional, and the dips are mind-blowing. I particularly like the green dip (see picture) We also had some peach flavored soju and a Korean beer. The price is on a higher-end. I guess the more you are on the group, the better. Over-all it was a great experience if you have some money to shell out.

This place gets packed during dinner on the weekend. I recommend call in and make reservation before hand. They have private party room for group party, which what we’ve got. The atmosphere is great, the food is okay. This place is good for special occasion with a group. Of course, any Korean BBQ here will be on the pricey side. We enjoyed our food, shout out to our great waitress, who also worked at the K-bar down the street!

For my first ever HotPot place this one was a warm welcome. Going into it blind I wasn't sure what to expect, but the selection of food was large. The buffet is so clean and easy to navigate. The staff was nice and helpful. I got the Chinese traditional broth and that went well with everything I put in it. The pork was my favorite meat along side the white fish. I definitely want to come back and eat the Korean bbq!

The food is very good, and is also pricey. We were required to order 2 x meat plates (based on party of 2) in order to self-grill at the table. Out the door at over 100. And while the customer is charged a premium, the restaurant overall appears dirty, and lacks any shine or luster - see photo of the thick circular shoved under the table to keep it from rocking. Overall was good, but seems that hygiene needs a special focus.

The legends are true about Seoul BBQ. Been going for years and they continue to deliver a wide selection of authentic Korean culinary delights. It’s too bad that the banchan side dishes are not refillable anymore but portions are generous and now they have robot hosts that will take you to your table!
