Known --- with good reason --- for its namesake kalbi (tender, marinated short ribs, removed from the bone), this no-frills Japanese barbecue joint features tabletop grills where you cook your own concoctions and top them with an assortment of condiments. The setting is nothing to write home about --- just lots of wood paneling, though that suits the soju-swilling crew just fine. The true magic lies with the sizzling soup, paper-thin strips of marinated chicken and rib-eye that cook in seconds, and cucumber salad, radish kimchi and sesame oil-seasoned sprouts that top cooked meats. There are more adventurous options, too, like tongue and beef heart, for those so inclined.
