| - Three stars as compared to other Korean restaurants that I've been to...not necessarily in Pittsburgh. If this is what Pittsburgh has to offer though, I will admit that I'm a bit saddened.
I am a fan of Bibimbap Dolsot. If you are not familiar, it's a smokin' hot rock bowl full of rice, veggies, meat, and a raw egg. The idea is that the rice gets nice and crispy from the hot rock, and the egg cooks through the mixture due to the heat.
I just wasn't impressed by their bibimbap offering here. the egg was pre-fried before being added, there was very little meat (I had steak, gf had seafood (out of bag)) and the rice was relatively bland. They did have a huuuge table ahead of us and perhaps that's why it was an off night.
The free sides were decent, however; we received 5 and most were tasty.
One thing that did surprise me, and a reason that I may go back, is the sushi. Not because it's the best sushi in Pittsburgh, but because it's decent, and for the price it's surprisingly good. No skimpy portions, well balanced rice-to-fish ratio....I'm generally very skeptical of the "hey we're an Asian restaurant so we should have sushi" trend, but they do a good job here.
