| - So, I came back here last week, and now I have a much better grasp of the place. Sol's is a place to go to to get some good food, but you need to come with some precautions.
Both times I went, I had the same two dishes: A cold spicy tofu, and the bibambop (sp?). I think both ware very enjoyable if it's the kind of thing you're into. The tofu was really hot, but the sauce it was covered in had a lot of flavor, so it was a good experience, but not for everyone. The bibambop had a good melding of flavors that gave the dish a good texture, and the second time I went (but not the first), it had some good flavors as well.. My friend had a dish that was like sushi, but had some small differences. He enjoyed it, and for what he paid it seemed well worth the price. My other friends had a sweet potato noodle small plate, and they both claimed to like it.
So, yes, the food is good, but that's not the entirety of a restaurant. Service wise, they're fine, but could be better. We got all of our food in a timely manner, the servers were nice, and they filled up my water often, but they were lacking in knowledge about what their dishes contain, which is a real problem. This is a real problem because both times I went there, I ended up getting beef in my bibambop, and both times I requested it vegetarian. The first time, I just said that I wanted it "vegetarian", and they ignored that. The second time, I specifically said that I wanted it with kimchi, and the menu states that you can sub out the beef for kimchi for a dollar extra. But again, I got beef (and kimchi). It wasn't a huge issue, as I could take out the beef easily when it was served, but take note that Sol's is a very difficult restaurant for people with dietary restrictions.I was disappointed to find that the signature Korean BBQ dish had no vegetarian option (I feel like tofu would've been easy), and there were only a couple full vegetarian dishes overall. It was annoying to feel that limited in an Eastern restaurant, as that's far from the norm in that type of place. Finally, this isn't a complaint (because my party liked it), but i'll note that they have a very eccentric music selection for the place. It rarely fits the vibe that the decorations give, and it's often like a tour of weird songs.
So i'm giving Sol's a 3, because while they have a lot of things nailed down (namely the food itself), they need to work on other aspects to make it a real destination for your dining experience.
