I've been looking for a place that had really good tteokboki....I normally hit up Soyo or Mammah Oh's... But both those places are hit or miss.... Sometimes great and sometimes not so good at all....
So what's a girl supposed to do...I guess keep on searching for Korean restaurants to pop up....Lol
So when Good Fella popped up on Yelp and I started to read the reviews...I was a little hesitant as the reviews were mixed... But the pictures of the food is what drew me... The pictures looked delicious which is always a huge plus.
When I walked in I realized that I had been to this location before when it was a soondubu restaurant and again when it was a Mexican taco joint...
But the cool thing with Good Fella is that they must've bought the other place next to them to give them a larger dining area. Very cool and more seating which is a plus for me. :)
I got greeted right away and say right away. Restaurant was totally empty but after I had ordered and was picking on the ban chans...a few more tables walked in. The ban chans were all great which is always a good start to any Korean restaurant... If they pay attention to the dishes that are given away for free and they rock... There is a greater chance that the actual dishes will be great. :)
I ordered the Kim chi jun which was crispy on the edge and flavor was just right served on sizzling plate. I don't think that there is another Korean restaurant that serves this in Vegas. Most places carry the seafood jun which I hate. Their Kim chi was delicious and the flavor carried through in their jun. It brought back happy childhood memories of eating this with my sisters. Definitely be back just for this! 5/5
I also got the tteokboki... And it was so delicious!!!!! The texture of the tteok was chewy yet soft and the flavor was really balanced. It was spicy with a hint of sweetness. It came with o-dang(fish cakes) and of course a hard boiled egg. This really was one of the best I've had in Vegas. This dish beat out the same dish at Soyo and Mammah Oh's. (10/5)
I cannot wait to go back and try other dishes!!
