Meat okay, complimentary kimchi is a plus, waitress service okay, cold noodle worst I 've eaten, did not even finish. Both me and my friend think the meat portion and overall experience did not meet the expectation of $80 price, so gave a more realistic tip to the actual workload instead of a percentage from total price (as we think it 's not worth it). Then another waiter who did not serve us chased us out, questioning why we gave a horrible tip. We explained we didn 't had a satisfactory meal here. Then he said cuisine quality is unrelated to service tip and finally left if you can 't afford, then just don 't come . I was quite shocked by this and did not feel well along my way home and days after . First time ever I 've educated by an arrogant waiter about how and how much to tip. So I had two plates of meat totalled $60, a $14 tastless cold noodle which had nothing inside, we cooked meat ourselves, so you mean passing 3 plates from kitchen to my table worths $14 tip when I didn 't find it satisfying? I browsed history reviews and found other people complaining this FOLLOW-YOU-OUT rude waiter, then I decide to move my 3-star review to 2-star. He serves just for his tip, he is not happy from inside serving people, don 't give a f about you are customer or not. Horrible waiter uneducated about basic etiquettes, pitiful. Amazed to see, better prepared myself for dealing with less kind people in future. During an interview, you think you performed well so the company must give you an offer? If you did not receive offer then you curse the interviewer if you can 't afford hiring me, then just don 't post the job? . Maybe the waiter job is the lifetime career apex for him so that 's why he 's treating it seriously. He is so idle that he have the free time to chase us out because the restaurant had few people to serve. There are a lot of good Korean restaurants that I 'm willing to give 20% tip. Except this waiter the waitress and manager are good though, but there is no exemption that having a negative coworker around will impact your reputation.

A good but not standout option for Korean BBQ. I feel that 3-4 years ago when there wasn't such an abundance of KBBQ options available, Pro Samgyubsal stood out for the quality of meats available and the size restaurant with its comfortable decor and fairly reasonable price. However, there's many options within a few blocks and especially within a few miles of here with a much larger menu and competitive prices. With that said though, you'll get a delicious meal while dining here with a wide array of different items. The flavor profiles here lean towards more traditional and authentic instead of the sugar laden options you may find at other options. The banchan here is pretty heavy on kimchee and radish options instead of having a big variety of flavor options (like fish cake, corn, etc. . The soup was a surprise, full of flavor, tofu, vegetables, and went well with the meat. The brisket was pretty good, though very similar to other options you can get elsewhere. The pork was definitely better, though I wish there was some marination on it to give it a bit more flavor. The pork belly was definitely fatty and provided in a good portion, with a good level of tenderness. The pork jowls were quite flavorful with a good tenderness, and isn't a common option that you see everywhere. The service was pretty fast in provided the meat, though we weren't provided with as much help with cooking (and cutting the meat as some other KBBQ restaurants. Overall, tasty and satisfying especially with the pork options. A bit more healthy in terms of preparation and options, but for me there's other options nearby that I prefer more.

My husband and I met a friend at Pro Samgyubsal on a Monday night. I was surprised to see so many people at Pro Samgyubsal on a weekday night. We came in about 6:30 and the crazy thing is that the line of people coming in kept getting longer as the night went on. We chose the brisket, pork belly, and pork jowels to grill on the barbecue. The meat was good but it lacked a lot of flavor. The cuts of meat were very lean and the fat is where the flavor is. The accompaniments included kimchee, radishes, and soup. The soup was very yummy, and, to me, was the star of the show. This was our friend's first time at a Korean Barbecue restaurant and he enjoyed the experience. This was a nice place and we had a good meal but there are better options within five to ten minutes.
