This is the Hong Kong branch of a successful Korean chain. Popular with local Chinese and Koreans, it can be quite noisy and busy, but partitions between tables lend some privacy. My own personal favorites are the beef strips ofbulgogior thekalbi(beef strips marinated in a spicy sauce and then barbecued at your own grill). Barbecued fixed-price meals come with side dishes of kimchee (spicy cabbage) and vegetables. Another popular dish is the Mongolian hotpot with vegetables for HK$158 (US$20/£11). You'll do your own barbecuing at smokeless grills at your table, which can be great fun, somewhat like an indoor cookout. In any case, the army of knowledgeable staff keeps things running smoothly and is happy to help the novice barbecuer.
There's also a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui on the fourth floor of the Miramar Shopping Centre at 132 Nathan Rd. (tel.852/2375 2882), open the same hours.
