And what do you know? New dinner sets.They now have a series of summer dinner sets. As there was two of us, we chose the set for two that cost $588. Menu is in English and Chinese.

They now have a series of summer dinner sets. As there was two of us, we chose the set for two that cost $588. Menu is in English and Chinese. This includes a series of meat for BBQ and a bowl of cold noodles.
As always, appetizers are provided.
There was a salad with a citrus salad dressing. That was different as I'm always used to sesame dressing with so many other places. I did like the citrus addition. It was sharp yet quite good.
They also provided lettuce for wrapping the grilled meat.
Small little appetizers were provided and kimchi eggs and cheesy corn was added to the sides of the grill. All are refillable. My favorite has got to be the cheesy corn.
The set included the following meat for BBQ: thick sliced pork belly, Chuncheon chicken, chunk tail flap, thick sliced ox tongue, 3 Korean prawns , two pieces of Korean groupa fillet, a shitake mushroom and two thicker sized enoki mushrooms and a long rosemary branch. The set arrived with some dry ice.
The meat quality was pretty good. The chicken was pretty spicy but it was pretty moist. I did like that they used a thick slice of ox tongue as well so it was not tough as we always seem to end up over grilling it.
The set also came with a bowl of Korean cold noodles that were topped with octopus. The octopus was pretty good. Soft and not rubbery hard like I had was a bit worried about. The noodles were ok though. It appeared they didn't really separate the strands properly so it was hard to break apart. It didn't have enough taste of pears that I love about this noodle. It wasn't very refreshing so this wasn't that great for me.
We added a dessert as we love their bingsu here but we wanted to try something off their new menu. A watermelon snow ice ($68). This was fun! It came out in with some dry ice as well so it was billowing in smoke. The watermelon was a small Korean watermelon and super sweet. Chunks of watermelon was piled on top of a vanilla ice cream. Inside was some chewy mochi balls. Oddly, it felt healthy as you are basically eating watermelon. There was still a lot of watermelon that we continually scraped inside after we finished the ice cream.
It seems this place is always offering different menu sets that are always a fairly decent price. Quality was good and service was quick. We always seem to come back.
