Editorial Review for Kum Gang San – by Kara Zuaro
The Scene
Featuring a roaring two-story waterfall with a white baby grand piano on top and an eat-in cave below, as well as big-screen TVs, a sushi bar and an occasional bamboo flutist, Kum Gang San overloads your senses before you sit down. Your table will be as loaded as its surroundings, since even the well-priced lunch specials, like the tasty bi bim bap, come with soup and several tiny dishes of banchan--a complimentary feast of assorted Korean appetizers.
The Food
Mini-barbecues in the center of each table allow hands-on diners to grill their own meals to perfection. Try a bottle of soju, potent and sweet Korean rice wine, with the finely marinated seafood combination, a mix of lobster, squid, shrimp, scallops and clams. Or grill up some bul go ki, rich and flavorful thinly sliced rib eye steak that shouldn't be missed.

I loved this restaurant. My friends and I (group of 7) decided to have a late dinner around 11 P.M., but service was great. Others have put bad reviews for service, but that must be during busy times. We came at an odd hour so it wasn't crowded. You would expect food to be bad during slow hours but it was actually great. I would love to taste their food during busy hours. Definitely try the Kal Bi and special beef (? that's what I heard them call it). It was DELICIOUS! We ordered about 7 orders of the beef barbeque. I love the fact they are 24/7. It's a great place to dine after a night out with friends.

The food was great but the portions definitely small. The wait staff was nice and efficient. The atmosphere was very crowded, hardly romantic.
