(1- Terrible; 3- decent; 5- Fantastic)
I finally decided to try Bow Bulgogi after hearing rave reviews and the fact I wanted to try a new Korean restaurant. Came here with a large group of friends and we all had a great experience. The overall quality of the food was fantastic but it's out of my way, and didn't have a few of my favourite Korean items like Kimchi soup.
Bow Bulgogi is a pretty small restaurants with about 10 or so tables. It's a mom and pops restaurant so the decor was nothing too fancy- cheap red seats, checkered table cloths, and the walls lined with Korean advertisements. The service was good, they were very patient in taking our order since we were such a huge group, and the food came out in a reasonable time, piping hot.
Each meal comes with your traditional Korean side dishes of bean sprouts, pickled daikon, kimchi, and fried tofu which was yummerz! Freshly cooked with a light batter! We ordered the Chap Chae ($12.95) glass noodles with black mushrooms, vegetables, eel, etc..; Pajeon seafood pancake ($13.95); Beef Bee-Bim-Bap ($12.95); Yukgaejang ($10.95) spicy beef brisket soup with noodles; and one of each of their Korean style BBQ - beef, pork, chicken and La Bulgogi ($12.95). Their menu also consists of a few Vietnamese dishes.
When I compare this with other Korean restaurants (and I"ve been to quite a few) the prices are about average give or take a dollar. However, the overall quality was top notch . The Chap Chae was super flavourful but was disappointed that the portion was smaller than what I usually get. Their seafood pancake is by far the best one I've had for a great price! The pancake was large and crispy, full of juicy seafood and fresh vegetables. It wasn't overly salty and despite the pancake being extremely thick, it was still really light and fluffy (not gummy or soggy). This is a great dish to share since you can get about 6 large slices from it. My bf got the beef bee-bim bap which was a little bit disappointing because it wasn't in a stone pot and was pretty small. If you love spicy soups, try the Yukgaejang which is really spicy for someone who doesn't each a lot of spicy foods, but has a slight burn for those used to it. The broth was a little watery and was hoping for a stronger beef taste. Lastly, I suggest trying one of their BBQ meat dishes which are all absolutely delicious. You can definately tell they marinated their meat well, with the final product having a strong sweet yet garlic and peppery taste.
Overall, this is a fantastic place for authentic Korean food and I suggest a visit. It's definitely a trip down to flavour town!
