As a Korean American who loves to eat, I can say without hesitation that when the dishes shine, they are excellent. The kalbi (beef rib barbeque) is always tasty. The naeng myun goes well with same kalbi. The stews are okay to excellent. The ban chan is acceptable -very hard to keep large, fresh variety when traffic variable and on busier nights its better. Only complaint are the NYC prices in a place in need of some upgrading. This is the sort of place I feel comfortable bringing my parents when they are in town.
