" I was really looking forward to Kalbi Ichiban based on recommendations but was met with a slower service experience. The food arrived later than expected which affected the overall mood of the evening. That said, the flavors once the food came out were quite good—especially loved the spicy pork belly! If they fine-tune their timing, they could really succeed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to Kalbi Ichiban after seeing all the buzz! I ordered the veggie bibimbap, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal! The veggies were fresh and vibrant, and the rice was cooked to perfection. Service was prompt, and the ambiance made for a relaxing dinner. I definitely plan to return and try their sushi next! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to check out Kalbi Ichiban after hearing great things, but my experience was a bit hit or miss. The ambiance felt great, but my entree was cold when it arrived. I had the chicken teriyaki, which was decent but nothing special. My friend's bulgogi was tasty, but I expected bigger portions for the prices. Service was friendly, so I'm inclined to try it again some other time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was surprised by how packed Kalbi Ichiban was during my visit! You could tell that lots of people were there for the wonderful food. I tried a variety of their sushi rolls, and every single one was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was vibrant, and it made for a fantastic evening with friends. I appreciate the staff's hard work during busy hours—they were doing an excellent job. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always skeptical about new places, but Kalbi Ichiban is so worth it! Had the chicken teriyaki and it was perfectly cooked. Our server was amazing! She recommended a fantastic sake that paired wonderfully with our meal. I loved the atmosphere; it felt casual yet upscale. I can't wait to take my family here to experience the great food too! " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of colleagues and I came here for dinner, and it was a great time! The Korean BBQ is definitely the highlight. We loved getting to grill the meats at the table; it added to the fun of the meal. The service was friendly and accommodating. However, I found the portions on the smaller side for the price. Overall, a pleasant experience that I recommend for group outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good, but the excursion was marred by poor service. We waited a long time for anyone to come over, and our orders got mixed up more than once. The decor is quite nice, but I felt the wait ruined the experience for me. The bulgogi was nice and flavorful, and I heard the sushi is amazing. I might give it another chance if I hear the service has improved. " (*Curated Review*)
