" ABSteak is a must-visit if you're in the mood for Korean BBQ! The meats were phenomenal—each cut showcased the high quality you expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The staff made us feel pampered, and they were knowledgeable about the menu. The only downside was that some side dishes didn’t have that much wow factor and felt a bit ordinary in comparison. Nonetheless, I would definitely return for the exceptional service and incredibly tender meats. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely stellar! This place combines high-end dining with traditional Korean BBQ in the most delightful way. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. They cooked everything right at our table, showcasing the fresh ingredients expertly! We tried their famous aged beef, which simply melted in our mouths. Every bite was a testament to Chef Akira Back's dedication to quality and authenticity. Be prepared to spend a bit, but trust me, it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit let down. The meat quality was high, sure, but where was the bold flavor I expected from a top-notch BBQ? The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was polite, but I think the food fell short of what I had heard based on recommendations. It was good, but I was expecting great. " (*Curated Review*)

" ABSteak is definitely an upscale dining experience! The decor is elegant, and I appreciate the attention to detail in everything they do. The meats were delicious, especially the short ribs, but some could argue that they are a bit heavy-handed with sweetness in the sauces and sides. Nonetheless, will definitely be back for another special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" A mixed experience. We enjoyed the overall ambiance and the attentive service. However, we had hoped for a more immersive KBBQ experience—while the quality of the meat was exceptional, the flavors felt somewhat muted. I found the decor stunning, though, and it certainly suited a special occasion well. I think with a few tweaks, this could really be a five-star dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for dinner and was wowed by both the food and the vibe! The modern decor blended seamlessly with the traditional Korean BBQ experience. The beef cuts we tried were top quality, and I can’t get over how tender they were. Also loved the kimchi fried rice! I appreciate that the staff was always attentive but not overbearing—it felt just right. Definitely planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like VIPs. We ordered several appetizers, and everything was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Our main course was the dry-aged black label wagyu, and it was simply the best steak I've ever had. I must also mention the banana dessert—it was a delightful surprise! Each course was timed perfectly, and we never felt rushed. Highly, highly recommend for anyone searching for an elevated Korean BBQ experience! " (*Curated Review*)
