Kook is the latest KBBQ restaurant open in the San Gabriel Valley which is a sister brand of Kook in Korean town. Since I haven't been to the other location but I goes here can't really compare it to that one. I can say that this is easily the top 3 KBBQ in the SGV!
KBBQ from the chain is no joke when it comes to décor; they know how to make the décor stand out and add a flat screen TV that shows sports which targets young Asian adults.
The most unique feature is the salad bar; they have stuff that you won't find in most KBBQ like oranges, lettuce wraps, beef bones, cold Tofu, and Soybean paste on top like your usual Bachan item. In other words; this place is the best AYCE KBBQ when comes to your non meat options.
They offer a large selection of meats, but the most popular meat which is Brisket was no good and was frozen which is a shocker! The Short Ribs and Bulgogi was very tasty and seemed fresh. Unlike most KBBQ AYCE there's only one selection of meats which costs $20 for weekday lunch; dinner and weekends cost $25. Not cheap, but you're getting your money's worth. Sure you could get the slightly better value in K-Town, but the gap between K-town and SGV is much closer now. The only thing the SGV doesn't get from K-Town is the famous $10 dirt cheap AYCE option. I wish they offered the lower price option. Gen House is the closest rival to this place, is slight cheaper, but you are getting slower service and less options plus no Salad Bar or TV.
