Just had the displeasure of eating at this restaurant. Living so close, I thought I'd give this place a try, unfortunately the food was a big miss and the price insulting.
I ordered the kalbi and tempura combo, it was truly disappointing. The meat was poorly cooked, and the portion size laughable, it was atop a mound of bean sprouts making this dish look larger than it was. If you know what LA kalbi is, you will know that 5 measly pieces of bone left at the end of the meal is hardly worth the whopping price tag of $18.99.
He ordered the chicken dolsot bibim bap. It is hardly possible to go wrong with such a staple dish, right? Wrong. The chicken in this dish was cubed white meat with no seasoning and utterly flavorless. Luckily, they offered the spicy Korean red pepper paste that usually comes with this dish and even then, it did not mask the sub par flavor. If you ordered a Wendy's chicken salad you'd get a hardier portion of protein and for half the cost.
To add insult to injury, there were no sides accompanying any of the Korean dishes ordered. And the service unsurprisingly poor.
I would stay clear of this place. If you care about quality there are much better alternatives in the area.
"Ichiban" I think not.
