| - Wow the reviews are seriously all over the board on this restaurant, though there aren't that many recent reviews. I actually liked the name of the restaurant. I heard about this place from one of my sales rep's (at Vegas for a convention). Anyways, he was paying for dinner, so I thought I'd try it out.
I just went there tonight on the way to the airport so I was in a rush. We had about forty five minutes, so we had to hurry. We had ordered the dwaen-jang-jigae (soy bean paste soup), bul-go-gi (korean bbq beef) and a stone bimbim-bap (basically a korean version of fried rice but with vegetables and a fried egg on top). The soup was pretty tasty actually not your typical version, they added some go-chu jang (red bean paste) instead. The bul-go-gi was your typical run of the mill bul-go-gi (though the next tables kalbi short ribs looked and smelled tantalizingly good). The bimbimbap was also pretty run of the mill and had I not had the extra bulgogi I would have been pretty disappointed. But it was a perfect addition to the bimbimbap. The banchan (small korean side dishes that usually come with korean meals) were very tasty. We had about 9 small dishes (bean sprouts, kimchi, radish kimchi, spicy potato, fish cakes, spinach/sesame seed leaves, water kimchi, dried anchovies and one more that I just can't seem to remember).
Service was actually pretty good and quick even though the restaurant was pretty full. We were out of there with time to spare.
CON: Price. The price WAS pretty high for what we ordered. It normally would only run about $25-30, but as a fellow small biz owner I understand what they're going through (huge space on the strip). The bill came out to around $55 not including tip. But it's to be expected in Vegas. Isn't everything expensive?
Anyways, I'd go again, I really want to try the galbi next time though.
