What up with this place? Apparently it's crazy popular (which is impressive, seeing how it's right beside the local celebrity Owl) - but I can't quite put my finger on what makes it awesome.
We arrived on a weeknight to a fairly busy restaurant, but they take reservations so we had a table waiting. I love that they give you an onion pancake to much on while you go through the menu, and who can say no to the appies? Service was hit and miss, after dropping off our food it was near impossible to flag down anyone for more appetizers and lettuce (even with the cool buzzer system). It started to get pretty frustrating, since lettuce wraps for bulgogi is essential before the meat gets cooked to a crisp.
Other than that, the food is good. They got a patio area out back (great if it's really hot in the restaurant). The prices are reasonable. I guess it lands a 3-star overall, but just barely.
