If grilling meats stresses you out, then this Korean joint at Alexandra Central is perfect for you. While it is a barbecue concept, the staff are super attentive and place close attention to the grilling of the meats — Burppler Hwans Lim appreciated that they took the initiative to switch out the charcoal when it got too hot and the meats were cooking too quickly. In her words, "all we had to do was eat" — we like that. Consider getting Set B ($63, for two diners). While the description may not make it out to sound like much, Hwans was pleasantly surprised by the variety and portions — expect platters of pork belly, prime beef ribs, seasoned chicken, and kimchi or soybean paste stew. The meats are thickly sliced and of great quality, with the beef ribs and pork belly the clear winners. The winning point? The service is stellar and personable.
