I am a sucker for sides! My ideal meal would consist of a medium portion entree and lots of sides. That is why "Yay! I'm a fan!" I like this place for the variety of kimchi and bean sprouts they serve with your hot pot, and the purple rice in a stone and their hot pot. I think you are suppose to add the sprouts and the kimchi to your hot pot, but I just love eating it on its own. My question is how is the rice purple? I like the look and the taste of the purple rice. It doesn't really have huge taste difference from sticky rice but I simply like it!
I always go for the seafood hotpot! What I love is that it doesn't taste or smell fishy, and good amount of tofu and served with a raw egg! The tofu is soft and accompanies the thin spicy broth very. I tried the extra spicy level last time and boy was it spicy but still good. I will tone it down a level next time. I love the colour of the hot pot it is a strong bold red, and arrives boiling! Cracking a raw egg and watching it almost instantly cook in the boiling hot pot is certainly very entertaining! Next time I plan on tried the vegetarian hot pot.
Overall value: Good experience, decent food, and a very fair price! This place offers a true Korean experience.
A block or so away from Christie subway station!
