My boyfriend and I have wanted to try this place for a while now after seeing the pictures and reading the reviews on Yelp. We finally made it in (3/22/14) and it was awesome! I feel so bad though because there were probably at least 5 times we had driven by on a Saturday night and decided not to go because it looked like nobody was in there! Do not let that fool you like it did us. We feel stupid for waiting so long to try this place. My boyfriend is Korean and the food was really delicious.
I had the Stone Pot Bibimbap which was one of the best I've ever had- the rice was perfectly browned on the bottom and came out sizzling. I ate every last bite. My boyfriend ordered the Poor Man's Soup and devoured it- it was fantastic but of course the one his mom makes at home is the best. ;) I love how they present their banchans all together on a cute little plate too.
One of the things that really surprised me the most was how nice it was decorated inside. Obviously the owners spared no expense and it reminded me of a place you would see inside of Mandalay Bay or something. I really loved the Korean wallpaper and the backlit walls. It was spacious and they were really smart about their partitions between tables as it gave a sense of privacy without taking away from the ambiance of the restaurant.
The service was great too- while our server only had three other tables while we were there, she was very attentive and had a genuinely caring attitude and smile.
I really hope this place does well and that more people discover how nice it is for themselves. I think the location (next to Home Depot) has a lot to do with it not being very busy when we had previously driven by. Nothing in that area is open very late except for K-bop and it's hard to see! But the food and ambiance are totally worth it and I bet if it was in the heart of Chinatown this place would be hoppin' all the time!
