Frommer's Review
This is the Hong Kong branch of a successful Korean chain. Popular with local Chinese and Koreans, it can be quite noisy and busy, but partitions between tables lend some privacy. My own personal favorites are the beef strips of bulgogi or the kalbi (beef strips marinated in a spicy sauce and then barbecued at your own grill). Barbecued fixed-price meals come with side dishes of kimchee (spicy cabbage) and vegetables. Another popular dish is the Genghis Khan hot pot with vegetables. You'll do your own barbecuing at smokeless grills at your table, which can be great fun, somewhat like an indoor cookout. The army of knowledgeable staff keeps things running smoothly and is happy to help the novice barbecuer.
Another branch is in Tsim Sha Tsui on the fourth floor of the Miramar Shopping Centre at 132 Nathan Rd. (tel. 852/2375 2882), open the same hours.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
