| - After reading great reviews about this Korean restaurant, I decided to give it a try. For a Wednesday lunch, it was quite packed when I walked in. Since it's my first time there, I went for the traditional Korean dish - the pork bone soup, regular spicy level. I didn't really care for the side dishes as my favourites like pickled cucumber and imitation fish cakes weren't available. I usually enjoy the Korean potatoes in a sweet sauce, but the potato side dish that they served as just regular potatoes. The kimchi and pickled cabbage were quite delicious.
The piping hot pork bone soup came to my table bubbling with goodness and flavour. There was definitely more meat on the bones compared to other Korean restaurants in Chinatown. The regular spicy level was perfect for me - spicy enough that I got a tingle on my tongue, but not too spicy that I can't taste anything. The pork bone came topped with bean sprouts and cabbage, making the dish look quite interesting (and piled high). The soup was flavourful without being too salty. The meat fell off the bone, and since there was so much of it, I got to pack some for lunch tomorrow - 2 meals for the price of one!
As I was eating, I was looking around to see what other people ordered, and most people ordered the hot stone rice dishes. i will definitely have to go back and try it sometime. And to top it all off, the waiters were very attentive and offered to refill my side dishes and water without me even asking.
