While you can order a la carte from a long list of both beef and pork options at this Korean table-grill restaurant, I’d go ahead and get the $99 beef combination platter — ostensibly portioned to serve three to four diners generously. The meal includes not only the wraps, sauces, dips and kimchi you expect from a Korean meal, but also soup, rice and a big bowl of noodle soup to finish.
Start with chadobalgi — curls of beef brisket. You grill them without unrolling them so that you end up with something like a meat Pirouette cookie. Other items from the platter (which a waiter will cook one after the other) include kkot deung sim (ribeye steak), saeng deung sim (sirloin), kalbi (marinated short rib) and joo mul luk (seasoned top sirloin).
Wrappers for the grilled meat here include bitter lettuces, perilla leaf and wedges of boiled cabbage instead of the blander red leaf lettuce you get elsewhere. I also like the option of fine sea salt as a dip. A little nugget of meat right off the grill, a few granules of salt, a swig of beer: That’s a nice thing to do to your mouth.
