... ate here for lunch today for the first time. I've driven past it several dozen times and finally stopped. This is a place to avoid. Oakland Park Blvd just across from Pearl's Art Supply. Boiled ribs, tasteless sauce, baked beans out of a can, cole slaw from Publix, and way overpriced. Sorry I stopped. Went to McDonald's for a Big Mac to get the awful taste out of my mouth. One of these days I'm gonna learn - you want ribs, make 'em yourself!

We do them Kalbi style, which means that we slice the ribs sideways instead of the long way. If you're ever on Maui, stop by Azeka Ribs. World renowned and quite tasty! :)
