| - Since 3-stars to me is simply average, I cannot bring myself to give it.
Upon arriving, Hubs and I were seated quickly with note that our server would be right with us. And right with us he was! We were greeted with enthusiasm and friendliness that you just don't find in Vegas. Service was exceptional, for sure!
Being half Korean, I had to try their Korean dishes. Hubs is not a fan of the dishes offered for Korean fare, so he stuck with our favorite - Yellow Curry with chicken. I ordered the Kalbi, even though I'm usually a little wary of ordering Korean from a non-Korean venue.
We were brought a plate of crab Rangoon, on the house. I have to say, this really was the best I've had in the Valley. I am usually not a fan of the dish, but I didn't want to be rude and not at least try it - I ended up eating them all, they were that good! Hot and fresh from the fryer, the filling was creamy, just a tad sweet (just how I like it) and filled with REAL crab meat. I would definitely recommend you try it here if you like this dish!
The main course came out shortly after - Hubs stated his meal was good, but that he's had better. It appeared to have a good mix of vegetables and was balanced well with the amount of chicken. I tried a taste of his broth at the end and agree, although it was good, we have had better. We both prefer our curry a little more on the creamy side (this appeared to be pretty watery) and there was a bit of a... tang? to it. Just a little different than what we're used to/prefer - but definitely NOT bad. Probably wouldn't satisfy a craving for curry for me, but would be a decent meal option if I was just out for a good meal.
The Kalbi - well, it was good, but I likely won't order it again. With so many Korean options in Vegas, it's just not on the top of my list. The meat was tender and well marinated, but the taste was a little... off... from what I'm used to. I enjoy the meat a little sweeter, and with less of a puree covered feel. I understand for many places, the marinade recipe calls for pureed fruit, and this may have been what I was feeling - but it's just not my style. The meat also seemed to be a sloppy cut at the butcher - which is not something to really hold against the restaurant, but when I have to be careful about how hard I chew because a shaving of rib bone might be in the mix, it's a little less enjoyable.
All in all, the location is nearby which makes it very convenient. The prices are reasonable and although the taste isn't what we're "used to", it's not like the meal was bad, it that makes any sense. Kind of like - it's good, but not like mom makes it. You know what I mean?
Also, I ordered a Thai Iced Tea - they boast it's the best in Las Vegas. It's good, very good, but there are other places just as good, or even a little better - for much cheaper. $4 for the drink is a little steep for me. I got it for free with the current check in offer, so it wasn't so bad - but knowing it is $4, I will likely be going elsewhere for my tea needs (when I don't brew it at home).
