| - Great food, atmosphere is superb and the service is more than attentive. It's a small space, and given the staff/patron ratio, it's damn crowded, even when it opens on a Wednesday in the middle of a snow storm. The whole staff yell out a happy welcome (I'm assuming) whenever anyone walks in, out, orders something, or turns their head. It makes for a very lively and fun atmosphere. Food is served *FAST* so be ready for the onslaught.
We ordered a selection of dishes, everything from bimbimbap (Korean fried rice) to salmon sashimi (sort of). There is certainly an abundance of flavour in everything served -- to a degree that makes it stand out among other similar fare. It's like if you took every meal you usually encounter, and somehow managed to compress twice the flavour into the same volume.
Strangely, drinks are a little on the weak side, though the marble pop you get with them certainly goes a long way to addressing the shortcoming.
One small complaint, though we didn't point it out to the waitress -- we ordered beef tongue, and got (amazing) short ribs instead. I'm assuming this means they were out, and the gesture was nice, but it would have been nicer to pick our own substitute.
