Tasting notes — actual visit details

Meat — 3 cuts unlimited, with mountains of veggies

Of the 3 meat cuts, brisket has the most fat and richness, pork shoulder is a clean, lean cut— great with piles of veggies. Build a mountain of veggies and shabu through it; for bigger groups, grabbing several plates of meat at once works really well.

Sides — pizza, chicken, pasta, tteokbokki and more

Beyond shabu, the spread runs to 3 kinds of pizza · multiple chicken styles · tomato/oil pasta · tteokbokki · samgyeopsal — the lineup is massive. With fish cakes, fruit, and nuts in the mix, you get Korean, Western, and dessert in one sitting.

Finish — kalguksu vs juk (rice porridge)

To finish your shabu, you pick kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) or juk (rice porridge) . Juk leans a touch bland, so I'd go kalguksu. Coffee + ice cream + fruit close it out.
