A Korean BBQ at Soo Ra Sang

Soo Ra Sang is a Korean restaurant located on the terrace of a four-storied building on Wind Tunnel Road. The name Soo Ra Sang literally means "from the King's dining table" and the food does make you feel like a king.
Though this place is just about 250 meters from my flat, it still took me almost an year to try out this place. But, after eleven months of procrastination, finally one rainy evening three of my friends mine and me decided to try out the some Korean Barbecue.
As soon as we entered the restaurant we were amazed by the ambiance, the place is on the terrace of a four-storied building and it overlooks the Old Airport Runway. The seating arrangement consists of short folding tables called "sang". The barbecue was cooked fresh at our tables with thin slices of marinated meat. Also, the food is served with a very wide variety of dishes (banchan) which includes an authentic kimchi (which is very unlike what you get at most of the Chinese places).
We had ordered four different dishes (unfortunately I don't remember the names of the dishes), the one I loved the most consisted of a bowl of rice with veggies, meat and a pouched egg on top. All these ingredients are mashed at your table with a spicy paste and is, like all the other dishes, served steaming hot.
The dinner is served with Okusu cha, which is a traditional Korean tea made with roasted corn is boiled water, which goes very well with the Korean dishes. And the dinner ends with Sujeonggwa, which is a traditional fruit punch made with Cinnamon in cold water.
Soo Ra Sang is a wonderful place for a quiet, long dinner where you can chat with friends along with delicious food. This place is certainly on the expensive side with a meal for two costing about Rs1200.

Warning: Ensure that you get a window-side table at this place even if you have to wait a while. Also, the BBQs are served only if you order more than two dishes, so ensure that if you go to this place, you are in a group of four+ members.
