I'm never sure how I feel about fusion places. I think I prefer non-fusion cuisine (just stick to your roots dang it) but I've heard interesting things about this place and I'm always good for trying new things out so off we went.
Ambience and service were good. Not bad, not stellar. Just OK.
Now the food. See this is where I have issues with fusion. Is it supposed to taste like Korean food but not really? Or something totally different? Fusion or not, bottomline is food must taste good eh? And I think they are a (weak) 3/5 on that front.
Kimchi Fries - We've had the kimchi fries at Banh Mi Boys and those were AWESOME. These were not. They were just salted fries, that's all.
KFC8 - Tasted like sweet and sour chicken. Like those you get at fast food places at the mall. Definitely too sweet and sticky for our taste.
Poboys 2 ways - What was a Po'Boy doing in a Korean fusion restaurant you ask? Well that was our question too. It was good, just out of sync with the menu I guess.
Sangria - Isn't this Spanish?
I think this place has potential and people who like (and understand!) fusion might like it. But sorry Nine, we're not going back. We prefer our bibimbap and kalbi beef unadulterated.
