    The service from the waiters were excellent. Alec is super nice, friendly, professional and really takes care of you/customer(s) and another female waitress was very nice as well. The actual food quality is quite nice and delicious. The banchan was nice and a good variety. The only complaints we have is it’s quite expensive (there are other bbqs that are quite nice and a much better value) and the “managers” there need to be trained on attitudes, friendliness, and hospitality in general. We weren’t mistreated per se, but we heard and saw them treat others not so nicely, not so welcomingly and quite frankly a bit rude (we dined here a few times and their attitudes are consistent). Lastly, the Valet Service shouldn’t demand credit cards only. Some people are not comfortable providing CC all the time for security reasons. Overall, because of the table service (ALEC & Team) and quality of food we will return again (because it’s quite expensive we probably dine here occasionally). It’s a nice Korean BBQ dining experience. Thank you.
