Alright, so I've got an idea bouncing around in my head, a Korean BBQ All You Can Eat place that most of you probably haven't been to.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU THINK THIS SOUNDS GOOD BASED ON THE NOTES

Bab Sang Korean BBQ & Tofu in Fremont
Off of 880 on Crushing Park and Fremont Blvd (Fairly close to the Friday Night Meet)

http://www.yelp.com/biz/bob-sang-kor...d-tofu-fremont
Menu: http://www.bobsangkorea.com/03_menu-04.htm
Every single one of my friends who has gone has raved about this place, I quite like it too.

Important Notes
- They take reservations, this is rare for a korean AYCE place. They are way too busy for us to just wait -- if we don't take reservations we'll be there for 1+ hours.
- They can probably only accommodate 8 people max.
- This means EVERYONE who says they want to go needs to show up.
- This means EVERYONE needs to show up ON TIME, they are very punctual about reservations -- good thing!
- Price is $18.99, so with tax and gratuity, expect $24 without drinks. Far below the price of other AYCE KBBQ places. Need to bring cash.
- Everyone at the table must eat korean bbq, it will absolutely covered and stacked with meat, typical dish accompaniments, and extra side dishes.
- Side dishes include stuff like veggie pancake, spicy tofu soup, and corn cheese etc.
- For the most part you don't actually cook your own food here, they cook it for you in the kitchen or on your table, you won't end up smelling like BBQ.

The meat is on par nice big pieces of meat, the side dishes are way better.
This place is a good $10 cheaper than Palace, and ZERO wait if you have a reservation.
