    Prices are fair and the flavor is on point. They have good vents and the heat is easy to control. Waiters are attentive and the giant beer towel was fun for the table.

    The attentive and friendly service at Castle is what sets them apart from other kbbq spots in town. They made sure we always had enough meat and toppings. The Banchan especially the kimchi, was very good as well, and they were generous with additional helpings. When we went, we ordered from the A menu. You pay upfront which we preferred so we could just sluggishly roll of there out once we ate our fill of meat. The grill was pre-heated when we sat down which was a nice touch so you didn’t have to wait to start cooking. The bulgogi was very good with fresh pieces of ginger right in the marinade, and the beef brisket was tasty as well. We also enjoyed the pork steak. This is our new go-to for kbbq and we will definitely be back!!
