My gripe with Yelp is that the reviews for those places with 2-3 stars is because the Yelpers do not know what to order there. A lot of places specialize in one or two dishes while everything else sucks (including what that specific Yeper was eating). Beyond that, some places get less stars for less than great service... what can you really expect from a mom and pop place?

I can be extremely picky... and if I'm looking for pork belly, I want black haired pork belly! (I've kinda been spoiled when it comes to korean bbq)

Put me down as a tentative, I'm down to give the place a try! I hope they have good banchan (side dishes) though... ok, at least better than decent...

I've been to this place couple times, and its a pretty decent korean restaurant. They have really good Goong Joong (Royal) Kalbi and banchans are mashisuh(tasty)! Its been awhile for me so I'm actually pretty excited!

Even the kalbi isn't as good... they used to give fat cuts, but now it's sliced so thin that the cuts aren't even anymore. There are a lot of small mom and pop places a bit further down El Camino that offer much better foods. And the original Korean Palace on Stevens Creek is much better than the all you can eat one on El Camino... But the prices are a bit high, and I only go there for the kalbi still... (w/ some soju of course!)
