| - We got takeout from here and for Calgary I have to give this place a solid 4. Part of this is because there are many items you can get there that you will never see in more westernised Korean joints... items with all the innards that most North American folk throw in the bin. The place itself is a hole in the wall and very casual. Service seemed friendly enough, but if you're eating in you should be aware it's the kind of place you get most things yourself... tea, rice, etc.... in other words, self-serve.
We ordered a seafood pancake and the spicy pork and squid. They included one small container of each banchan (side dishes) as well. The red bean rice was pretty stingy I thought... but I think it's all you can eat rice if your eating there.
The seafood pancake was delicious and most definitely best eaten straight away! Nice crisp outside and soft inside, with the occasional crunch/chew you get from squid (I still can't figure out how to describe the texture of well cooked squid or octopus). It came with a nice tasty dip with lots of acidity that helped cut through the grease, but this is definitely a share plate. Eating a whole one would feel... not great. It had a decent amount of seafood in it, although I wouldn't say the seafood quality was anything really good... but better than I've seen in lots of other places that use crappy frozen mixed seafood where the mussels are mushy and odd tasting which makes me inclined to spit them out..... like a small child... but I don't... I suck it up and make a funny face while I swallow them whole... anyways, what I was trying to say was that the seafood was fine... in as long and ranty a way as possible...
The spicy pork and squid is very expensive but the serving size is massive! It could easily serve 3 or 4 as a main with rice I think. It was nice and spicy and the flavour was savoury and delicious. The pork and squid were both cooked well. The only thing is that this dish is insanely oily. If light or refreshing is what you're going for.... this is not it!
Kimchi, seaweed, and bean sprout banchan were nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. I found the fish cake banchan a little bland but that could also be because everything else I had was in flavour country!
All in all, meal was heavy... but was delicious! My only regret is that they didn't seem to offer more affordable half portions on the menu... but to be fair I didn't ask either. I would go with at least 3 people if you were to eat here, otherwise portions may be too large... but I do love leftovers! Enjoy!
