| - Came here today with my husband for lunch around 1pm. The place was probably only 1/4 full when we came in but filled up quickly.
Since I'm not Korean and can't read the Korean on the menu nor fairly familiar with Korean food in general, we took awhile settling on something, because the menu quite big and everything kind of sounds the same, pretty generic, from the English description; just seems like the same bunch of ingredients repeating itself, but I know that must be the same case for non-Chinese looking at Chinese restaurant menu :) Of course some items have pictures in the menu and then you can always go back outside of the store and examine the plastic versions of their meal offerings in the window.
I finally settled on #50: BBQ spicy chicken on hot plate with rice and my husband, #36, the dolsot bibimbap with beef.
Food got to our table quickly and the portions was generous. His bowl was large and I had enough chicken portion to bring home for another meal. I find his bibimbap a bit bland, but that's probably because I generally like to eat rice with something saucey. My dish used dark chicken leg meat and the pieces were plump and tender. The spicy level was just right IMO, I was afraid it would be killer spicy and I wouldn't finish the dish but it was all good. A bit of a sweetness to the spice sauce. In comparison to the side kimchi, I find the kimchi more hot without that sweetness. I like to love kimchi but I'm just not a fan as I'm not really into pickled stuff in general. Although I do like kimchi flavored instant noodle :)
Anyhow, the rest of the side dishes were also good, I do love them all except for kimchi and the pickled turnips. The glass noodles portion was pretty generous for a tiny dish, and we got 2 rounds of these appetizers before calling the bill.
One thing I must comment about the spicy chicken is that it didn't sizzle when it was served. Even the stone pot bibimbap my husband ordered sizzled a bit when it was served. I had seen sizzling hot plates in other Korean places so I think that was suppose to happen when you order something on a hot plate, and people from nearby tables would admire your meal as it gets presented to you sizzling :) None of that happened today.
Generally service was pretty quick considering how busy they got and that there was only 2 people serving and cleaning up simultaneously.
Another I think they can improve on is by turning up the fan or AC a bit, especially on a warm day. The place a bit too warm even when we first walked in.
Overall, I enjoyed eating here today and would come back again to try something. So 4 stars.
