<p>There’s something very unique—and tasty—when restaurants only use fresh, non-frozen ingredients. And the owners of The K Grill, located in National City, know this, and it is the philosophy they follow in their restaurant.</p>
<p>“We use locally harvested produce and meats whenever possible,” said co-owner Choon Tanaka. “We never use frozen chicken or salmon.”</p>
<p>No wonder The K Grill has become a favorite in Asian cuisine in National City since it open in May.</p>
<p>According to Mrs. Tanaka, The K Grill strives to be a healthy restaurant that offers entrées that use no MSG, no sugar, and no preservatives added.</p>
<p>“We use homemade sauce, cooked everyday in our kitchen,” she said.</p>
<p>Among the delicious entrées The K Grill serves are the bowls and plates: 100 percent never frozen fresch chicken, rib eye beef steak, fresh Atlantic salmon, shrimp with fresh steamed veggies, over high sushi grade fluffly rice.</p>
<p>“All meats were flame-grilled to perfection with our famous sauce,” Mrs. Tanaka said.</p>
<p>The salads and wraps are also popular among customers. But the best-selling dish is the half chicken and steak plate.</p>
<p>Mrs. Tanaka said that the “K” in The K Grill represents “Korea,” the owner’s country of origin, and “Kazue,” Mr. Tanaka’s first name.</p>
<p>The reviews on Yelp! Have been outstanding:</p>
<p>“The chicken and beef wrap was pretty good,” said a customer. “The teriyaki beef part was super bomb.”</p>
<p>Another customer who visited The K Grill wrote that “It’s nice to see a healthy alternative in National City. I’ll have to try the mochi ice cream on my next visit.”</p>
<p>Also, a family that visited The K Grill gave the restaurant “Thumbs up — we will be back.”</p>
<p>For desserts, The K Grill offers the Mochi Ice Cream, which is ice cream wrapped in soft rice cake. This dessert has become a favorite.</p>
<p>“We cook every dish per your order every time,” Mrs Tanaka said. “It is custom-cooked to perfection.”</p>
<p>With so many flavors, no wonder The K Grill’s slogan has become, “Absolutely Delicious!”</p>
