When was the last time you get the sensation of "this is it, this is the best of the best, this is heaven"? Jin Korean BBQ is the crown jewel of all Korean BBQ on this planet earth. Why you ask? Because they are cheapest, most delicious, and no old Korean ladies look over your shoulder to rush you and to tell you what you're doing wrong and gossip about you with their friend. It has a very nice atmosphere, and it is absolutely do it yourself!!! No more having to keep asking people to bring you meat (and they will reply "I don't think you can finish them all get something else").

Lunch $14.99/person Dinner $19.99/person for AYCE Korean BBQ!!!??? Are you kidding me!? So amazingly cheap compared to everywhere else. You might think "oh, it's cheaper than everywhere else so that means their quality is also lower." NO!!!! I assure you that with this price you will also get the best quality!

Very beautiful ambiance. 

That light switch right there is used when you need to call your waiter.

Meats are well marinated and absolutely delicious! No dipping sauce needed.

Their hot foods are also very delicious, in fact, they are better than most places even though this is buffet hot food!!!

I absolutely adore their concept of do-it-yourself. From going to get the food yourself to grilling them yourself, it's so much better when you are with your friends and just having a good time without people coming over to bother you all the time and keep rushing you to get out so they can get new customers. The staff is so great because they will leave you alone unless you switch on the light to call them or your grill starts to smoke and needs to be changed. The additional items with no extra charge, such as LA Ribs, are also sensational! 

The waiter will keep an eye on your grill from far away so that it won't bother you, and will promptly change to a new one right away when it starts to smoke.

This is sik-hye, the sweet rice ginger drink to finish your journey. It will help you digest after a large meal and make you feel refreshed.

Jin Korean BBQ is the avatar of all of Dallas Korean BBQ. Cheap, clean, delicious, and awesome service. Every item is delicious. It will one of your best memories.

First restaurant in Texas: Soulman's Bar-B-Que!

Hello there, good to see you again.

This was the very first restaurant that I went to in Texas, because driving in state from the east you will end up seeing this place as the first BBQ restaurant, and Texas is famous for BBQ and steak so I gave it a try!

They have sense of humor, for example, look at their logo it's a pig in sunglasses and their warning 

sign, so I bet the owner is very nice guy or girl.

When you walk in every stereotype is true, from country music, to the wooden western tavern style facility ,people with southern accent and cowboy related items everywhere in the restaurant. and how you order are just like Dickey's you choose your meat, sides, etc.

The food here is okay, not what I expected from Texas, but the nice service and facility compensate it pretty well.

So if you're coming in to Texas for the first time, give this place a try to satisfy your hunger. It's a good start to magnificent journey to Texas food utopia.

And of course more humor in the bathroom.

Review: Momo's BBQ and Grill

Hello there, good to see you again.

Be honest....if you live in central PA, there's absolutely no good BBQ places that are worth the trip, so most of the time you grill at home. After going around trying many places, I discovered MoMo's BBQ & Grill. This place is very good considering the location in central PA.

Here's the funny part: the sign says "Please Seat Yourself," and you might think this is odd. It's because this place is pretty much for locals. That's how you know it's good! So what you have to do is grab a menu next to the register and go find yourself a seat, because their servers, although very nice, are also bartenders, so they're usually busy getting drinks for other guests.

There are many TV's, and just like most sports bars, they have many craft beers that you can enjoy. The atmosphere is pretty decent.

Their menu is not big; very easy to understand and not too complicated. Their specials are very nice, so be sure to hit their happy hours.

What I highly recommend are baby back ribs and wings with the Texas tangy sauce. The ribs fall off the bone, very nice touch from the chef to make it delicious and memorable. Even though it is a BBQ spot, the star here is the wings! They are so good, I would say they might even surpass Aroooga's wings.

The creamed corn side dish is a must: they do it differently from any other place by using condense milk to boost the corn flavor really well.

The good news is you don't have to go all the way to Pittsburgh to get spectacular BBQ, or Texas of course. MoMo's BBQ & Grill will satisfy your meat cravings.

Review: Iron Age Asian Grill

A very Unique style of authentic Korean BBQ that will blow your mind!

Iron Age Asian Grill is probably the best, and most authentic Korean BBQ styled restaurant that you will ever find in the east coast. I've been to so many restaurants like this, even in my home town in Thailand (we have Moo Kata, or open grilled pork which is sensational), but this place just as easily surpasses them, without a doubt. The best part is that they are buffet style, so it's all you can eat!!! You can order meat for unlimited amount for as low as $20 per person; it can't get any better!

Let me show you the ultimate feast for all you can eat for just $20!!!!!

As you might know, Korean food is about side dishes. Iron Age Asian Grill side dishes are absolutely delicious. The Korean styled mashed potatoes will steal your heart and the pickled radishes are just too good! Also, the dressing for salad is a phenomenon.

As you can see, there are house sauces that come with the meat. The pictures above are pork belly. To be completely honest, I don't like the pork belly so much. But don't be disappointed yet! I would recommend you to skip pork belly and.......

Behold the best beef you will ever experience!!!! Korean Bulgogi beef with house marination: the absolute mouth watering and super delicious sensation of Korean cuisine. The crown jewel of all grilled meat. The taste of oriental marination and the scent of the spirit of Korean food. I would recommend you to order tons of this meat; you will die happy.

In $20 course comes with soft serve which is also very very delicious.

Good news for people who lives close to Ellicott City, MD 

They will opening a new one soon!

Verdict

9/10

I have to take away 1 point just because of the pork belly. But overall, it's the best Korean food I've ever experienced!
