    The large family-style pots are the star of the menu, but the other shareable bites like dumplings, squid, pollack roe, and fried rice are also worth trying. An unbeatable scene, too. Read more

    So many amazing Korean dishes from Roy Choi here. Must get the "Beep Beep" uni rice bowl. Poke is fresh and delicious. Galbi is traditional but flavors are perfect. I loved the "Old School" pot.

    Try the sizeable bowls, the uni dynamite (small but packed with flavor), and the grilled meats. Actually, almost everything is going to be a winner here. Just arrive early or be prepared to wait. Read more

    Get the steam egg! So good! Also the poke me salad, potato pancake, grilled shrimp and kim chi fried rice. Great place to share food...so bring a bunch! Service was great too!

    My favorite dishes are the Spicy BBQ Pork, the Spicy Shrimp Yum & the Tuna Poke (which is basically a tasty tuna salad). The Old School pot is also great. Ask about spice if you're sensitive to heat.

    From the overt weed-smoking theme to the throwback cocktails (Long Island iced tea on tap, anyone?) to the pun-filled menu, Choi presents us with a smart, delicious take on a modern Korean restaurant. Read more

    Welcome to Hot Pot Disneyland. Your tummy will be so happy! Whatever you do, get the Kimchi Fried rice. It's RUH-DIC-U-LUSS. Soju cocktails are also a must - kimchi is a hit, as is walnut! Go Now!

    All the cookies are damn tasty, but the one we tend to swoon over is the mocha chip cookie, a rich chocolate fudge-y wonder with the bitter edge of dark coffee and an assertive kick of salt. Read more

    The uni dynamite rice bowl, the closest thing to a must order, is slicked with spicy sauce. The soju cocktails are flavored with things like kimchi and curry. Read more

    So hip. Really appreciate all of the subtle details in everything from the decor to the food. Small hot pot with a side or two is perfect for two people. Cocktail program is stong.

    The place has not disappointed. Relaxed, tasty experience with knowledgable service. Sesame leaf wrap and uni crispy rice were among the best.

    I love it more for the gimmick than the food. They give you cute apron bibs to wear, delicious "pot" water, and newspaper menus.

    The hype and location will sell itself. Seasonal menu of always awesome Korean-focused food. The service can be spotty, but it happens everywhere and the restaurant shouldn't be punished for it. Go!

    Definitely recommend being adventurous and getting the curry (or kimchee) cocktail. The Pots are amazing (duh). Go for Old School + Uni Dynamite

    Try the Boot Knocker ($25 small, $45 medium, $56 large) or seafood-loaded Fisherman's Wharf ($39, $72, $96)—supplemented with more traditional dishes to share such as kimchi fried rice ($10). Read more

    The Kush Salad with asian greens, radish, fruit, pine nuts and mustard dressing is delicate, not too mustardy and vegan!

    This place comes to life on the weekends. Starting on Thursdays there's a Dj mixing and lots of people come here. I had a great time!

    Parking is $8 for 3 hours with validation. Come early. Long waits for dinner on weekends. Lunch time is better if you don't want to wait. Try steamed egg. Yummy.

    The 'Poke Me' is tasty and probably one of the lighter items on the menu.

    The lobby bar has fun decor and oddball cocktails, and a late night cafe across the lobby.

    Sochu selection is limited but super tasty. Order the weird stuff, especially k-town caviar.

    Eh.. I'm a huge fan of Roy's cooking but this is just regular Korean food you can get anywhere? No fusion, nothing original? The style of the place and the cocktails were great though!

    Waits can be a drag, but if you're willing to forgo the fancy tables, sit at the bar without the fuss. Spotty service.

    The food was neither traditional Korean nor totally fusion- not quite sure what they were going for with the menu. The flavoring was overdone and it was overpriced considering the quality.

    Early 90's soundtrack, late 80's decor and some bad ass hot pot. Enjoy.
