| - Disclaimer: as good as it was, one of the main reasons I'm giving this place a 5 is because it is one of the only places to get good Korean food in Madison. Being Korean, this is something I dearly miss. But be aware that this is not exactly "Korean BBQ" in the cook-the-meat-on-a-grill-in-front-of-you sort of way. They have a standard Korean menu with some Korean meats, along with sushi and other Japanese selections.
Food (4.5/5): We shared the galbi (beef ribs), which were my favorite, dolsot bibimbap, kimchi jeon (kimchi pancakes), and a spicy salmon roll. The galbi was seasoned with a yummy sweet and salty marinade and came out sizzling hot. It compared well with the galbi my mom makes, as well as galbi I've had in Korea. It definitely makes me wanna try the other, cheaper meats on their grill section. The dolsot bibimbap was pretty fantastic; I would definitely order it again. And the kimchi jeon was HUGE and the texture and flavor was on point. The spicy salmon roll was good, but I'm also not a huge sushi connoisseur so it wasn't my favorite. The banchan (extra side dishes) hit it out of the park for me. The cabbage kimchi was extremely delicious, as was the radish kimchi (my personal favorite)! They also gave us this sweet, soy sauce based potato banchan that was very delicious. Serving sizes were generous. We all had food babies afterwards, and we didn't even get to finish the jeon.
Atmosphere (3.5/5): Nothing special. Feels like they are still getting prepared.
Service (3.5/5): They are definitely still getting experience running the restaurant, as the service was sometimes slow, but we didn't mind as we conversed and waited for the food (or ate the food after it was out). We never ran low on water though, so nothing to complain about, just don't be in a rush to leave. They were all very friendly.
Overall: Best Korean food I've had in Madison so far. I still need to check out some other places, but so far I have not been impressed by other offerings. Only complaint is it is a bit pricey, but I guess that is expected for Korean food in Madison. It is still worth it since you'd have to drive to Chicago (or cook it yourself) to get good Korean food otherwise. I will definitely be checking out more of their dishes soon, and updating this review. Check it out and give them some business so that good Korean food will stay in Madison!
