The restaurant name was intriguing and I saw Jennifer K had reviewed it, so hubby and I decided to try this place out as we were in the area.
The restaurant is spacious and plainly but nicely decorated with lots of wood details. Only a few tables were occupied when we first came in around noon but it got busier by the time our food arrived.
This place specializes in cold and hot noodle dishes as well as traditional Korean dishes like bulgogi and bibimbap. We opted to try their Gogi Guksu, a hot noodle soup with lots of vegetables and a choice of sous vide pork or beef (we chose the latter). The broth was flavourful and had a light creamy consistency. The portion was generous despite the $11 price point. I ordered the chicken bibimbap with sous vide chicken which was ok but not what I would write home about. It came with a side of clear broth.
As per Jennifer K's tip, we tried the sous vide pork belly with soy dressing which was tender and delicious. This was served with a side "salad" of green onions, beet strands, some other flat chive-looking vegetable, and micro pea shoots.
Overall the food was pretty good and the price point was reasonable. If you have gluten intolerance, be forewarned that the noodles listed were wheat and buckwheat noodles. The menu lists that "noodle substitution is available" but I don't know if that includes changing to a gluten friendly option.
