| - I've been having lunch here since the week they opened, but I purposefully waited to write my review. At first I was so excited to finally have Korean food in North Las Vegas that it was love at first sight! But after dining here quite a few times, I've been better able to see it for what it is: a decent lunch spot that is more of the Hawaiian/Korean type, with consistent banchan and really good dumpling soup.
I haven't had any of the Hawaiian inspired offerings, but they seem to carry the typical plate lunches: teriyaki beef, chicken, kalbi, and so on. I've had the Korean pancake, sundubu, kimchi jjigae and their dumpling soup (mandu duk guk?). By far my favorite dish is the dumpling soup! Everything else is decent, but I've had better versions of each dish elsewhere. The dumplings in this soup are large and filled with meat and veggies, there are lots of rice cakes in the soup, and the broth is very tasty; it seems that other versions I've had don't have as flavorful of a broth as here.
I'm glad that this spot opened up, since it's a great change from all the other chains along Craig Road. With banchan, you get a good sized lunch for under $10. If you're planning on going around 12pm-1pm though, be sure to block out at least a full hour. Lots of people from Nellis AFB dine here, and the service can be pretty slow at times. Solid 3 stars, I know I'll be back for that dumpling soup!
