| - My girlfriend and I came here, curious and hungry after seeing several grams of their jjimdak, a dish consisting of chicken braised/steamed in Korean soy sauce with veggies and potato noodles. It appears that they retained much of the decor/furniture from their predecessor (Beff Steak).
The complimentary appetizers consisted of simple greens dressed in balsamic vinaigrette and some pickled daikons/carrots; nothing special. We got the honey garlic pizza, which was a very interesting dish---light, sweet (dried cranberry, honey) balanced with savoury (garlic, cheese) and quite enjoyable, but probably not for everyone (looking at you, Hawaiian pizza haters).
Our White Cheese Jjimdak arrived and I was pleasantly taken aback. For something designated "small" and recommended for two, it was very generous for portions. Delicious chunks of tender chicken immersed in a viscous dark soy sauce with veggies and hot pepper chunks, along with rice cakes, dumplings, and glass noodles---all under a glorious layer of melted cheese. I don't recommend eating it by itself; get rice and preferably some alcohol. It is a worthy partner to soju. I also don't recommend getting the cheese rice cake add-on if you're getting the white cheese variant; it becomes inconsequential.
Overall, a significant improvement over Beff Steak. I will be back with friends to get a large, perhaps loaded with mandu. I would like to see smaller portion options, more variety, and potentially half flavour options. Recommended.
