5 stars because we were already planning our next trip before we finished eating our meal.
Who would think the best Korean place in Pittsburgh would be way out in Cecil? This might be the teeniest place ever but wow is it big on taste!
We went at 2pm on a Monday so even though it was tiny (only seats about 11 people total) and I'm sure it gets packed, there were only 2 other (very friendly) people in there that were finishing up and leaving. It seems like they have a lot of regulars. The owners (?) behind the counter taking our order and cooking were very nice.
Down low on the food: the Korean pancake was ginormous and so good. We got the vegetable but added some hot pepper too and then mixed the 2 sauces (chili paste&something else) at the table to dip it in and it added just the right amount of heat and extra flavor. Also ordered the bulgogi and for some reason on the hottest day of the year my sister wanted the spicy mackerel tofu soup. He warned us when ordering it was fishy (which we expected and it was) but it also was chock full of other goodies like tofu and kimchi and super flavorful. The banchan they serve with your order was awesome!
High five to the lady I was talking to at the Korean food bazaar that turned me on to this place :-) can't wait to come back!
