Excellent Korean Food!
I often drive North on I-17 and see their sign "coming soon". Finally after a couple of months they have opened. My wife and I tried this place for the first time yesterday. Although we are a takeout kind of couple I was impressed when we walked into the restaurant. Very clean. The decor provides an appealing display of their Korean heritage. Conservative, but beautiful. I was greeted promptly and (I should have got her name. but I think she is part-owner) an eagerness to answer any questions. My wife and I are Korean food veterans. There are few Korean restaurants in Phoenix. We have tried most of them. This is by far the best.
What we ordered:
Lunch portions
Mandu - Excellent. Not from a freezer. LARGE. One order would be enough for a good meal.
Shumai - Also made from scratch. Very tasty.
Beef bulgogi - haven't had this combination of flavors for so long. Wonderful marinade to go along with a nice char taste. The beef is lean and the serving is generous.
Spicy chicken - Oh my (). You better like heat and have rice nearby to take away the initial sting. I didn't expect it would be that hot. Although I really enjoyed this dish. Again, very nice portion.
Dinner portions
Kimchi-jiige - Very spicy. Excellent flavored soup. Lots of vegetables.
Chapchae - Over-the-top! Very authentic. If my wife says it's good food. It's good.
The different side dishes provided were kimchee and various pickled or preserved vegetables. Not frozen. Not prepacked. Presented beautifully.
I will be going back.
