| - I was initially intrigued by this place after walking by it while going home a few days ago, so today, craving some Korean food, I suggested we check this place out.
The inside was cute; paper lanterns, quiet jazz music, and orange ambient lighting made for a soft and relaxing atmosphere. I'd say that the restaurant can seat maybe 20 people max. It looked like there were two or three people behind the counter in the kitchen. The waiter was kind, and the service was pretty fast, but there was only one other group in the restaurant when we came. There's a bar that looks like it serves some sort of alcohol, probably beer, but we didn't sit there.
After frequenting (or at least trying) most of the popular places around the downtown area, I wasn't sure what taste I was expecting from this place - maybe something authentic, traditional? However, this wasn't the case. Though the taste was new for sure, the side dishes weren't traditional; in fact, there was only one dish of cabbage - no potatoes, which I basically live for. Still, it wasn't bad, even though it wasn't kimchi, since I'm a fan of sweet things. The sauce was reminiscent of sweet and sour sauce. As for the main dishes we ordered, the bulgogi wasn't the best I've had - it was too cooked and a bit burnt at the bottom. The bibimbap was better than average, but it felt like it didn't have much beef.
In general, though I left Omma feeling comfortably full, I don't feel like the portions or quality of the dishes were worth the price. Though I put $$, it's more on the pricier side of $$, closer to $$$. Not as an insult, but I probably won't be back - there are many other choices in this area that I'd prefer.
