| - Everywhere I look on Yelp's reviews for this place, the word "hipster" gets thrown around a lot. I didn't realize how accurate this would be until I walked in, and see the marqee-lit sign, the live edge wood tables, the chalkboard menu, with a clipboard menu papers. "Rusted" industrial-style lighting. You get the picture. Oh, and pretty waitresses. And wall plugs to charge your phone!
I was shocked, SHOCKED, when the waitress came over and she didn't have thick black rim glasses with a beanie. But I got over my shock, and ordered a Kandy Krush cocktail ($9) for a fruity explosion of strawberry soju. My friend ordered a Clean Cut, which was cucumber infused soju ($10).
For a table of 3, we ordered 5 things:
Spoon Pizza (Kimchi) - someone else said it...it tastes like the inside of a pizza pocket. And it's a "spoon" pizza because you really need a spoon to eat it. Mushy sweet potatoes and kimchi, quite yummy!
Rice Cakes - kinda like mac n cheese. I actually really liked this dish, nommy and cheesy - it's comfort food!
Black Calamari - just ok. Not crispy, but had a splattering of blackish sauce. Be careful with the red chillis, they are killer!
Kimchi fries with bulgogi - I personally loved the fries. It's covered with mayo, bulgogi, kimchi and generally delicious. The large comes out in a pizza tray kinda size.
Tofu with Pork Belly - um, pork belly on anything is good, tbh. It's topped with some kimchi and comes in a dish of 5.
Honestly, the food would have only gotten a 3-star from me, but the experience and the decor got them a 4-star. Unfortunately, at about $40 per person, we were not full, and the BF required an order of nachos elsewhere to satisfy his hunger. So...portions are meant for flavour, not for fill!
