To get there you have to travel down the seaside road or 16/134. If you're on the seaside road you'll need to make a right turn (by Kura 100 Yen Sushi) and then two quick lefts to get into the free parking lot. The entrance is on 134 and the exit is on the seaside road. The map above marks its location where Family Garden is, but it's actually just on the opposite side of the parking lot from Family Garden. This place is co-located with 3 other decent restaurants. Kani Koura (more accurately Koura Hon Ten which is all things crab), Negiri-ichi (a kaiten sushi/sushi go-round place but a step up from the 100 Yen outfits), and Family Garden.

Upon entering Kalbi-house put up the standard number of fingers to indicate the number of people in your party or if there is a line you'll add your name to the list. You'll be asked if you want a smoking table or not.

I suppose you can call it a Korean Restaurant but I haven't found too many authentic Korean restaurants here in Japan - like the ones where they serve you 5-10 side dishes with your meal. If you come across any let me know.

The best deal here is the lunch menu where for about $9 you'll get a plate of meat to cook, small salad, rice, small soup, and a tiny bowl of kimchi along with some hot tea. There are about 4 different meat sets to choose from in addition to other menu options.

For dinner there are not set menu options but instead you can order large family style plates of various beef or pork, or smaller individual plates that include chicken, pork, beef, seafood. Some of the meats are a little on the fatty side, but that's where all the flavor is. You order your side dishes like rice, seaweed soup, kimchee, lettuce (to wrap the meat if desired) separately, just point to the nice picture menu if needed.

There are two different sauces are at the table - one is labeled sweet 甘 and the other one spicy 辛, but the spicy one is not spicy at all. You can also order some Korean style soups and different types of bibimpap.

Staff speaks minimal English.
Menus can be found here: Lunch menu, Dinner menu. Suggest using Google page translate from there if you can't figure out the Katakana. Even if you don't speak any Japanese you can go to this place and order no problem.
