Cham Soot Gol: Celebrating Alex's Birthday at Korean BBQ



Today was Alex's birthday celebration at Cham Soot Gol in Garden Grove. For about $17 bucks, you can have all you can eat Korean bbq. They include the brisket meat, bulgogi, spicy bulgogi, and pork. My favorite kalbi is not included, but it was good nonetheless. They give you a lot of banchan, including kimchi, potato salad, dduck bo sam (rice paper), japchae, steamed egg, bean sprouts, and a few other random pickled foods. The side dishes are also all you can eat. The place was very clean, extremely popular with korean and non-korean guests, and just a great place to have some good korean bbq with friends.




While eating, I started to cook the food. I cleverly called out Henry and insinuated that I had to cook because the guys didn't know how. Henry then grabbed the tongs and proceeded to cook the entire night! Since Vince and Alex were at our grill, we must have had like 10 huge plates of meat.



I went with Joni (my sister wife) and Evan. I was her standin for tonight since Dean was away in San Diego for a golf trip. I ended up spending the night with them (thanks joni for the all night gabfest and slumber party...and for not spooning me :) Ok, I digress....just wanted to also let you know that at Cham Soot Gol, they have a ice cream corner where you dish out your own ice cream ala Rite Aid style onto a cone. Evan absolutely loved the ice cream and ate the whole thing.



Afterwards, we spent time hanging out at the Kishiyama house. Uncle Table (Henry) fell asleep of course with Evan sitting next to him eating his Kix. The night is never the same unless Henry falls asleep or leaves the room at least 5 times to answer phone calls from his girlfriend.
