| - After passing by one day, came back specifically for the cheese dakgalbi which costs a couple dollars more than its non-cheese version, The dish is described as "Stir-frying marinated chicken in a red pepper paste, cabbage, sweet potato, carrot, rice cake, and green onion together on a hot pan...covered with mozzarella cheese." Dined solo, so got the version for one person which comes on a sizzling plate. It's one of those dishes that has so many ingredients that you don't know where to start cause everything looks and smells so good. The sauce is very sweet with a little kick of spice and heat reminiscent of red pepper paste. Although it doesn't absolutely need steamed rice cause of the rice cake, some rice would have been good to balance out the flavors. My favorite part was scraping the caramelized bits of saucy this or that off the previously sizzling platter as I worked my way to the bottom. Also got banchan (side dishes) including corn niblets, macaroni, and radish. Although quite good, the dakgalbi tastes monotonous with one note of flavor bite after bite regardless if it's chicken or sweet potato. Therefore, I recommend getting this along with one or two other dishes if you're going to try it. Located down a flight of steps from street level so I'm not sure it is accessible to those with mobility issues.
