Decor: who cares
Came here on a Saturday night. First thing I noticed was the abundance of Korean ads. I knew I have walked into a trap. It's Korean, not Japanese. Decided to check it out anyway, for the chance that it had good Korean food. Decor was not izakaya or Korean, more like contemporary. I didn't mind it. There was one waitress, poor thing was running around by herself on a Saturday night. I can tell they are expecting a big crowd... Looked at the menu, ordered the Korean fried chicken. Portion size was appropriate. Price was around $15 per dish. It was way more saucy than needed. Fried too soft. Flavor was ok. Also had the octopus wth ponzu sauce, which was not great flavor, but seemed somewhat fresh. Got the Alfredo seafood pasta. Very bland, like milk but less flavor. My friend said that's how Korean Alfredo is done in Korea, so I can't blame them; just not to my liking. Overall a 6.5/10. I would not go back again though. There are definitely better Korean food for the money. I suggest they pick either Korean or Japanese and stick to it.
