Remodeled interior with private booths |
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 they have a computer touch screen system to check you in.

If you've been here before, they just recently remodeled (around April 2013) and now have private booths where you take your shoes off.
The best deal here is the lunch menu where for about $8-9 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.
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 but is very helpful and understanding.
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. They just updated to a touchscreen order system with plenty of pictures. Enter the items you want and they'll just start showing up. You can always still call the staff over to order the old fashioned way too with a hard-copy menu.
You can pick the tablet menu up order and pass it around. If you make a mistake just press the minus sign for that item. When ready with your order you press the green button at the bottom right.

They have a new gadget at Kalbi house called Asahi Extra Cold. The temperature of the beer is continuously displayed and you can see it's at -1.8C. Asahi uses a two step cooling process including a cooled dispenser tower to achieve this. YouTube video about it.
