During a brief trip to LA recently, my friends who live in Koreatown recommended Park’s BBQ so we went as a group (two couples). The ambiance is typical Korean BBQ style with meat prepared at your table, but I do want to note that the ventilation was very good. The meat was some of the best I have ever had at a Korean BBQ restaurant anywhere in the world, and I have been to Seoul many times. The meat is tender and delectable, and the staff are very attentive and return frequently to adjust turn your meat and make sure that it is ready. I would also note that for a busy Korean BBQ restaurant, the service is much better than I have experienced in the past. The meal was ultimately so good that I am thinking about the next time I can go back to LA and dine there again. 5/5

This is a great place in East Nashville with a very creative menu. We went while we were visiting some family, and randomly chose the restaurant only to find out that my relatives also love this place. I had the Jamaican jerk chicken which was on a sort of backed pure of plantains and other flavors with sweet potatoes - the chicken was cooked perfectly. One member of my party had the catch of the day, another member had the muscles, and two others shared a Margherita pizza and some salads. Everyone liked their food, although my friend had the mussels (which were in a Thai-esque curry broth) noticed that they were really small, and after looking at them I have to agree that they were some of the smallest mussels I have ever seen. One other critique was the service - the restaurant was very busy, so that may have been why but after the initial drink and food order our waitress hardly ever came back, not once during the meal service to ask if we need anything (which we did). In addition, my friend got up and went to the bathroom and before we could notice, another staff member had removed her wine glass which still had wine in it. So for this reason, 4/5, but definitely worth a try and definitely do not try to go without a reservation.
