    "You expect prompt and efficient service at most Asian eateries. Here, you get prompt, efficient, welcoming, highly accommodating and competent service. It’s truly service with a smile and that only enhances the fact that the Korean BBQ is some of the best you’ll find just about anywhere. There aren’t “all you can eat” deals here, but that's more of a positive than a negative as the quality of the ... read more >

    "If you're the type of person who doesn't drink the soup after eating the noodles, you'll find yourself changing your ways at this restaurant. The broth is so good here you'll drink it right up. Nevertheless, the noodles are very, very tasty in their own right. Old school Korean cuisine done just right."

    "A venue serving the finest of Mexican cuisine. The dishes are inspirational serving authentic Oaxacan cuisine. Those who don’t like just tacos and burritos will enjoy the myriad of options from the menu at Guelaguetza. Try the cheese quesadilla or their tender and juicy Red Mole chicken, but nothing disappoints. The restaurant also features grilled cactus which is well worth sampling. If you're t ... read more >

    In spite of its name, this venue hasn’t cornered the market, but if it did become the Korean noodle version of Microsoft, then living in that world would be a painless and delicious experience when it came to dining out. Also known for its barbecue, the cold noodles here are the best you’re likely to find. Anywhere. The noodles are a stand alone phenom. However, for a protein kick, you may order o ... read more >

    Huge portions make this place a good venue to go to if you’ve been starving yourself for a week. However, it’s also good if you’re a little peckish. You don’t have to eat everything on the plate, but note that those portions are really, really big. The gook su are generous, but even better is the amount of other ingredients added in. Certain dishes are sour, certain are spicy, all are great. The d ... read more >

    Until you get there, you may not realize that its name is derived from its street address in LA, not because of the Seoul Olympics. The venue itself is like a little piece of Korea right in Los Angeles. Authentic feel, like a poky thing in a backstreet. But that’s great. And don’t worry - you know you’re okay coz the service is great and the place is clean. The dumplings have a nice consistency, w ... read more >

    "Great banchan here and it's all you can eat. Stepping into the sequel to the original Moo Dae Po restaurant is unlike any other restaurant you've been before. At night, not only is the massive mess hall like interior filled with giant TV screens but the funky lights come on and you're treated to a club like atmosphere complete with karaoke music. But if you're more of a sports fan, MDP II doubles ... read more >

    "A range of meats for the po include seafood, chicken, beef, and a meat combo. Vegetables that can be added to the broth (onion and sprouts) are separate entities until you decide what to do with them. If you don’t want a veg heavy broth, you don’t have to have it. Nice that you can dictate such things, when often the choice wouldn’t even enter your head. Also on offer at the eatery, you’ll find b ... read more >

    "Ham Ji Park is the premier expert in pork. Meat eaters take note: It is highly likely that the chefs could cook any class of pork dish to perfection which is good when you've had too much beef and want to try something different. Not only is pork a nice change of pace but you'll find with the spices they use, these pork dishes are absolutely incredible. The pork neck bone soup is probably one of ... read more >

    "From the outside, Park's BBQ is unassuming with it's location in a strip mall. But, if you pass by it thinking it's not much too look at, it would be a shame. From the inside, the restaurant is actually very attractive and comfortable and with some of the cleanest air vents you'll find in any AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant. That alone is something not to be taken for granted and neither is the meat h ... read more >

    "Not your standard shabu shabu here. Not with these dipping sauces. Service is top notch, and larger parties may be lucky enough to get what amounts to a private room in the back with a long family friendly table. A homely, diner like quality is completely undermined by the deliciousness and amazing, five star standard of the food. If you don’t like your greens, just try dipping the greens here in ... read more >

    "You won’t be short of panchan here, which is a plus. You’ll also get steamed egg and other accoutrements to accompany your meal. The ribeye is tenderized to perfection. You could come for that alone and go home happy. The meat (all of the meat) is of the highest standard. Given this fact, the restaurant staff tend not to over flavor things. The sauces are not overbearing in terms of taste, which ... read more >

    "Fresh food by any standards (not least a noodle house), the ingredients and care taken with each dish is great. If you take one item to sample in terms of freshness, try the clams. You won’t be disappointed by the taste either. A seafood pancake to talk about with the grandchildren is also among the menu items. Seafood soup comes in a large cooking pot, with little nuggets of deliciousness. Veget ... read more >
