Date: 9/18/11
Time in: 5:40 PM 
Time out: 6:45 PM

Servers' recommendations: Tsubo kalbi
What we ordered: Assorted vegetables, seafood yaki (salmon, scallop, squid, shrimp, and green mussel), prime outside skirt

Number in our party: 3 (Sarah is the guest critic today!)
Final check amount: $47.99
Notes:  

• Sarah liked the mussels, and the skirt steak was delicious. 
• It does not come with endless rice, which we now expect from eating at Korean BBQ restaurants.
• The salmon tasted too fishy.
• The marinated meat was chewy. 
• It would have been helpful if the vegetables had been par-cooked.  They took forever till they were done.
• It was frustrating compared to other BBQ experiences -- there was just so much hungry waiting involved! Gah!
