" We had a fantastic time at SOT Korean BBQ. The uniqueness of the cauldron-style grilling is a refreshing twist to the typical KBBQ experience. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They recommended the spicy cold noodles, which were excellent! The only drawback was that the portion sizes could have been a tad bigger, especially for the price. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone looking for quality Korean BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. The only downside was the parking situation, which was a bit tight, but everything else made up for it! Highly recommend for a genuine experience.
