| - My friend is in love with this restaurant's BiBimBap, so I was happy to tag along for a lunch around 3pm on a weekday. The entrance is located below the sidewalk, so you need to take stairs, which may make it difficult to find. When we arrived, what seemed like students were leaving, so we were the only ones dining at the time. We were greeted by a nice lady who gave us lots of time deciding and the tea we were served was just the right temperature. If you're into K-Pop, then their music playlist will add to the enjoyment of your experience.
We both ordered BiBimBap (kimchi and bulgogi) as well as their Ddukbokki. It was my first time trying the later and it was amazing! The rice cakes were soft and chewy and the spicy sauce was not too salty or spicy. The dish also included glass noodles and what I believe to be cabbage. As for the BiBimBap, the meat was seasoned/marinated to taste and all the vegetables were fresh. I especially enjoyed the purple rice and the bottle of extra sauce that I sadly don't know the name of. The portions for each dish were filling, but the side dishes could use a little more.
I don't remember the cost for each of the dishes, but for the two of us, the total came out to $38 including tax. They only pull out the machine if it is more than $20. This price is definitely alright with me since there were three dishes to belly filling portions.
Also, while we were dining, many people seem to come here instead for take-out. They, and we, didn't wait long for our food, so I'd say service is pretty quick.
I wouldn't say this place is as amazing as my friend claims, but I would surely come here again to eat Korean food.
