More like 2.5 star but I will round up.
I ventured up to the "other Korea town" to meet up with some fellow yelpers for a meal. None of us had visited here before, but it looked like a promising option for a good meal.
My boyfriend and I shared a dolsot bibimbap topped with bulgogi and a "mushroom" pork bone soup.
The pork bone soup was delicious, I highly recommend trying this one. The broth was different than regular pork bone, it was kind of like Campbells cream of mushroom done Korean style. They had 3 different kinds of mushrooms added in with a few pork bone pieces. Pretty good. +1 star for this dish.
The dolsot bibimbap was pretty average. I have yet to find a place that tops Buk Chang for bibimbap (anyone?)
I felt bad for fellow yelper Elaine, as she tried the kimchijjigae (kimchi stew) and I sampled some. To me, it tasted just AWFUL and sour. (Go to Thumbs Up or House of Soon Tofu for this dish made properly, plus cheaper). Ehwa failed on that one.
The service was great at first but seemed to lack later on. They didn't have a problem with 2 of us holding a table for 6 for 30-40 minutes until everyone arrived. They were slow to bring us tea and water and I thought it was a bit cheap to give us only one of each banchan considering we were a table of 6 people.
The washrooms here are incredibly ghetto. No toilet paper, really foul smell and none of the stalls closed or had locks in the ladies room.
Decor inside is pretty nice and it seems like it's a popular place for Korean teenagers to hang out, but so did every other place on the street :)
