Sure why not. He told me that they just give you raw meat, and you take it to your seat and cook the way you want too. If thats the case, i want to try one out over the weekend

Ghengis Khan in New Orleans rocks the house. It's the wackiest restaurant ever. Great, homestyle Korean food and the owner plays violin for diners. They have Opera singers on the weekends sometimes too.

Good stuff. Whenever I go for Korean BBQ, the women working at the restaurant take one look at my cracker ass and assume I can't cook the meat myself and come do it for me. :)

Kal-Bi is what you're talking about. That's beef short ribs marinated in soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and other spices. Very good.

If you're into spicy soups, there are many you can try. Soon-dooboo-chigae is a spicy seafood soup with soft tofu. Oo-go-ji-kal-bi-tang is a spicy soup with thin rice noodles and beef short ribs. All good stuff in cold weather :)

If you bring someone Korean that'll help out alot when ordering. Everything good has plenty of garlic, so remember to pack some gum for later :)

I dont know any Koreans:(

I used to date a Korean in high school for a few months, but she was adopted by AMerican parent, so she was totally AMericanized. I prob knew more about Korea than she did.
You wanna come

Let me get this straight. I'm going OUT to eat so I CAN COOK? I don't get the concept. Am I liable if I burn the place down cooking?

done the korean bbq thing.

IMO it kinda sucks. If I am going to have to cook all the food myself, I might as well do it at home (the only exception being for amazingly fresh meat, but that kind of freshness is a rarity). On the other hand, it's a great kind of restaurant if you're doing a low-carb thing.

sure. fly me into Alabama, and i'll buy dinner :D

just hope that you get a waiter or waitress that speaks decent English (about a 50/50 chance). mention you've never had Korean food before and i'm sure they'll recommend stuff to you.

every meal is served with white rice (sticky kind, like Japanese not Uncle Ben's) and "ban-chan", which are little side dishes like Kim-chee (spicy pickled cabbage), marinated spinach, etc.

btw, when you order Kal-Bi and other meats that are prepared at your table, the waiter/waitress will cook it for you.

you can either look clueless when you receive the food or just ask ;)
