| - We came last night, a Saturday on the way back from a day trip up north. This was our second time at this location. Lots of free parking and fairly close to home. Any of the other locations we have been to in the past only had 7 menu items so we like the extras they have here.
The service was excellent, except that they assumed we would want the water in the rice pot after the rice was scooped out. We prefer the rice crispy but that was the only disappointment this trip and the reason for the 1 less star. The food was served piping hot and they did remind those of us that had soup to put the egg in right of the bat.
Each meal comes with the purple rice hot bowls that they scoop out most of the rice and put in a bowl. The rest of the rice about 1cm) is left in the bowl, presumably as it would be easier to clean after, but that's just a guess. The pots are usually left on another table near yours so you can bring them over and enjoy their smokey goodness at your leisure. You also get a number of sides that everyone shares in, which you can ask for extra of if you run out. The sides are kimchi, beans (they are like a firm baked bean), bean sprouts and pickled radish. Soups also come with a raw egg which you crack open onto your soup and stir it in right away.
Today's meals:
I tried #11 today, which was a grill pan with spicy pork and onions. It was a little sweet and nicely spiced. I don't mind a little heat so might ask for another level up next time. I would definitely order this again, though a soup is always a good choice.
#2 (seafood soup) - my pre-teen liked it last time and tried it again and loved it. He went with a mild and would consider upping it to Medium heat next time.
#4 (soup with beef and dumpling) - my teenager loved that this one, mainly because of the dumplings in the soup.
#9 (grill pan with beef) this wasn't spicy at all and was on the sweet side, almost like caramelized in flavour without being caramelized. You can probably up the spice level if you like but my wife enjoyed it the way it was.
We also ordered an appetizer of dumplings. They didn't appear to have much filling and were more like a small flatter egg roll in shape but they were very flavourful and served hot and a little crispy. Yum! You get 6 in an order.
All together we left happy and full, only a small container of leftover rice to take home which my youngest had for breakfast this morning.
