| - Man, I am really in the minority here. I didn't like this place.
I love me some bibimbap and delicious soup. This place delivered neither. I was almost angry at how bad this place was (if I am being honest, I was likely more Hangry) Regardless, this place was a disappointment and I am shocked at the number of positive reviews.
First, their menu is 9 options deep. If you are only going to have 9 options, do them well. We ordered two of those options- kimchi soup and a bibimbap. The soup was fine although presented with no spoon or side plates bc our table had no cutlery box or napkin container. Our egg to put in the soup materialized 5 minutes to late to be of any use and was plopped down on the table with no explanation. If we had been new to this cuisine, we would have had no idea what to do with it Given its lateness, there was nothing for us to do with the egg anyway and it just sat there. Cost savings measure?
The bibimbap was terrible. It was cold, the egg on top was overcooked to the point it resembled the eggs we had in our toy kitchens as children and was also cold, there was zero caramelization on any of the rice and I can almost guarantee nothing on that plate had ever been introduced to a speck of salt. I would have complained however that would have required getting the attention of one of the waiters.
It is getting two stars, because, well, it is very affordable and family owned and others like this place so I feel as though I must be missing something. Whatever that something is, I will never know because I definitely will not be coming back - there are way too many good Korean options within two blocks.
