| - My friend (http://potterly.yelp.ca) and I just finished eating here tonight (Wednesday, around 6 pm). We decided on this place randomly but were definitely not disappointed, except for the CASH ONLY sign that made us hesitant at first. We were the first ones there for dinner, so we were served quickly with our menus and food. The interior consists mainly of wood with one half of the room lined with maybe 4 booths and the other half open tables, both seated for at least 4 people. The staff were kind considering my allergy requests, however it took a bit of trial and error communication since only the server could speak basic English. As we waited, we were served the side dishes (pickled cabbage, seaweed, kimchi, bean sprouts, potatoes, and spicy zucchini, as well as Miso soup that I have not seen before) and the classic water jug and cups. There are TVs in the restaurant that showcase CP24 and the mix of English and Korean radio music overhead.
We both ordered the Beef BiBimBap served in the hot stone bowl ($8.99 w/out tax, $20.38 incl. tax for the both of us) and were satisfied with the portion and the taste. I appreciated how they set the special spicy sauce (which is also delicious) aside so you can control how much you want in your dish (I'm not sure if they re-fill the amount you're given). Other menu options were less than $17 until you reach special combos for 2 or more people, which can reach approx. $30.
I left feeling more than satisfied and stuffed. Would highly recommend!
Note: This restaurant is accessible by climbing at least 10 stair steps since it is upstairs from street level. (Since they serve soju, just be careful on your descent when you leave).
