| - Yummy yum yum! This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants to eat. First, if you have never explored korean food you're missing out. Okay - I agree service isn't always the best in many asian restaurants but it can be overcome by the fulfillment of their food.
For you first timers you definitely have to come with a group to share family style. As a basic starter - which is very unique than any other restaurant - is that they serve about 6 to 8 mini side dishes of various sorts to accompany your entrees. Examples might be kimchi (spicy sour fermented veggies usually cabbage), pickled spicy daikon (a white carrot), dry seasoned seaweed, garlic seasoned potatoes, seasoned bean sprouts, and pickled cucumbers to name a few. Not to worry!! You'll only have to try a bit of it and if you don't like it at least you can say you tried it.
On to the main entrees!! You will for sure like a popular dish: BBQ beef bulgogi served with grilled marinated onions on a cast iron hot plate. Dak bulgogi (BBQ chicken) and galbi (short ribs) are also great options or additions to enjoy, and are also served the same way. You will be asked how spicy you like it too. If in a group, you might as well try the kimchi beef tofu soup served in a stone pot. Say yes to the egg in it. Let it sit and sizzle for a few minutes prior to eating. Eat this with rice. Rice is served in a mini silver looking bowl with a lid. Another dish to try is the bibimbap which is sliced bulgogi, sautéed veggies, an egg on top over a bed of rice served in a large stone bowl. If you like noodles then you might try the japchae - clear noodles with seasoned veggies and meat.
After all has been said and eaten, you'll be super stuffed! At least I was! Let me know what you think! ;)
