| - I really liked the hot stone Bibimbap at this newly opened Korean restaurant. They did not skimp on the meat or other toppings, and they had a variety of meats to choose from and even different sauces. The stone bowl was properly burning hot, so my rice was toasty all the way through the meal (seriously, I was sweating as I ate it) and it left that nice crusty layer on the bottom at the end. Great wintertime meal! For $10 (for lunch - not sure about dinner price) it seemed like a pretty good deal as I think it's usually a bit more expensive for bibimbap in a stone bowl. For those who do not like the stone bowl, it's a dollar less for non-stone bowl bibimbap. Also on the menu are tofu stew or pork bone soup ($8), although I can't comment on how those taste.
The inside of the restaurant is super clean, comfy and a decent size. Tables and chairs are natural unstained wood, for a casual Korean atmosphere. Something about the way the food was plated and served make this restaurant seem less traditional, perhaps the absence of bunchan, those little side dishes they usually bring. All we got was some kimchi with our meal.
Service was decent, attentive but not super fast (the restaurant was about 90-95% full). I'd have to say it's probably one of the better lunch choices around the area, and definitely the best bibimbap without going all the way to Korea town.
