Great looking restaruant, too bad the food (meat) quality doesn't match.  Worse beef brisket and pork belly I've had at AYCE in recent years, even when compared to the $9.99 AYCE places.

If you have to eat here, order the marinated hawaiian steak, harumi, and cajun shrimp.  Skip the pork cheek, pork belly, beef brisket, etc.  "Premium beef steak" is anything but premium.

...and yes, I like Cham Sut Gol much better than Gen.

The best Korean BBQ is the one made by your Korean friend's aunt and cooked in the backyard.  Check "Prime Meat Market" on Culver next to the Japanese market.

Wouldn't Gen in Cerritos be comparable to Gen in Tustin?

If I was to eat AYCE BBQ in Cerritos, I'd go to the Mr. Lee's off of South Street near Norwalk for $9.99.

Too far to travel to warrant the price savings though.

The meat place that I liked by Mitsuwa is no longer there.
