We visited Jian Korean BBQ with visions of long-rumored robots and colorful, seizure inducing Pachinko machines in our head.

First of all, there were robots.
Second of all, they were robot statues.
This is something you need to know.

Onto the Pachinko machines!
The bad news is that they are not not playable and are strictly ornamental.
The good news is that they could probably still induce seizures if you stared long enough!



All robot statues and non-playable pachinko games aside, Jian is a good looking restaurant with a good looking, cooler than thou (but helpful) staff.  Unlike traditional Korean BBQ restaurants, they boast smokeless grills.  This is extremely cool and helpful unless you are a bad Korean bbq cook like myself and companion and let things just start to burn.

Visit Jian! The food is good, the beers are cold and the place is purdy!
Also, with gas prices at almost $5 a gallon, it sure beats the hell out of commuting to K-town...unless you live closer to K-town than WeHo, obviously.
