Keith chose this restaurant for his birthday dinner.  We started with a welcome dish of Warm Pumpkin Porridge 환 대 음 식.  Since it had snowed earlier in the day and was still in the 30s outside, this was a comforting dish.

To drink, Keith ordered a small bottle of “Jinro is Back”.  Jinro Soju is the predecessor of Chamisul Soju. Dubbed as the original throwback, this new release is the latest craze among soju lovers. It was light and smooth and went well with his meal.

Next we shared an appetizer of Japchae 잡 채 - wok-fried glass noodles with assorted vegetables.  The sesame flavor was strong and overall these noodles were delicious.  With it, came a small complimentary dish of sweet corn and cheese.  I liked it - but Keith found it to be too sweet.

Our server then came to prep the tabletop grill and presented the banchan along with the assorted cuts of the day.  He explained the various textures and flavors of each with their respective cook times.  Keith enjoyed: Galbi 생 갈 비 (boneless short ribs), Marinated Galbi 양 념 갈 비, Outside Skirt 안 창 살, and Rib Finger 늑 간 살.  His favorite was the galbi.

For our starch, I chose the Crab Fried Rice 게 살 볶 음 밥 that was studded with assorted vegetables, crab meat, and topped with a mound of Tobiko.  There was loads of crab flavor in this rice and we had plenty leftover.

This was plenty of food and we ended the meal with an espresso for Keith and Caffe Americano for me.  Overall, we had a nice meal and Keith was happy with all.the.beef - this restaurant is perfect for meat lovers!
