| - My Kal Bi crush.
Heard about this place through Yelp (shocking, eh) and decided to give it a go. What drew us here was the $14 AYCE. Seriously, how can you NOT eat $14 worth of Korean food?
We tried a bunch of rolls and most of the meats. The stars of the show were the Kal Bi and "Volcano" pork. I love love love Korean spicy pork and, while this place doesn't have the best, it's pretty darn tasty. As for the Kal Bi, it was close to being the best I have found in Vegas: tender, savory, slightly charred and still pink in the middle. My son tore it up. Between three adults and a one year old, we must have demolished about 6 orders.
As good as the Kal Bi was, I have to say that the sushi rolls just weren't very tasty. I can't even remember which ones we ordered (we had about 4) and none stood out. Also, the sauce for the meat jun was the same for the man du and shrimp tempura. Not bad for the most part, but it just did not go with the shrimp.
Despite the rolls and sauce, though, the place is totally redeemed by their udon. It's been a while since we've found tasty udon in Vegas and this place nailed it. It was so good that, even though it wasn't part of the AYCE, we ordered two bowls.
For the kal bi alone, the AYCE was worth the money. Add a bowl of udon to that and you've got yourself stuffed.
