| - Really cool restaurant that serves interesting Korean fusion food. I love the vibe/decor inside, which is dimly lit, lots of wood furniture, mason jars everywhere, kind of hipster and laid back ambience. Great place to come with a small group of friends, since the dishes are tapas style and meant for sharing. It would probably also be okay for a date as well, since it's not super loud that you cannot have a conversation.
I went with one friend and we were lucky to get a table without making a reservation beforehand on a Friday night. We ordered a fairly large number of things because we just wanted to try all these things:
Sweet potato chips with wasabi mayo - We were both a little bit surprised when these came out, because really they are more like sweet potato fries fried in a tempura-like batter. For I think $5 the portion is actually pretty big and really filling what with all the batter and stuff. I thought this was okay but not really an amazing dish, basically it just tasted like sweet potato tempura but cut into a fry shape. I personally would skip this one, but will admit it's good value for your money if you are looking for a good snack.
Creamy rice cake - Mmmm I loved this dish. It's just those chewy Korean rice cakes cooked in some kind of creamy sauce with like bacon in it and comes with some pickled cabbage of some sort on the side. So simple, but it was so damn good, I couldn't stop eating it. I don't even usually like bacon, but this dish in general was not too salty, and the bacon really added to the sauce.
Korean tacos - Han Ba Tang is well-known for these, so we had to try some. We got the kalbi taco and a lobster taco. To be quite honest, I actually wasn't that impressed with either of them. The actual taco/bread part I found to be hard and dry, and neither of the tacos really blew me away, so I was a little disappointed.
Beef kalbijim - This is like a beef short rib stew thing. The meat on this was phenomenal, the beef literally just fell off the bones, it was so soft and juicy, and the whole stew was flavourful but not overwhelmingly so. For a meat lover like myself, this really hit the spot.
I also ordered a cocktail, and although I don't remember the name, I know it was off of their special menu. The actual drink was kind of strawberry-ish and okay, but I have to mention that there was a giant blob of the most amazing cotton candy on top. I have never had peppermint flavoured cotton candy before but now I am determined to find out where I can get some.
I would definitely love to come to this place again! I will say that their menu isn't huge, so I think next time I would just come to grab a quick snack or drinks rather than a meal and try just a few new things or hit up some old favourite. They have a pretty large drink menu with many interesting and delicious sounding soju-based cocktails, so you can bet the next time I come here I will be sampling a few of those!
