We will be returning again. . . and again. . . and again.
This place is amazing, despite all the bile leading to an average 3 star rating. My husband and I were told about it at a beer dinner and we finally made it over there this afternoon.
It's a hole in the wall but I always prefer hole in the wall places. So I would not expect 5 star atmosphere. You can expect 5 star service and 5 star food.
This being our first time there, my husband and I asked what was good. The server suggested a dinner for two which included 4 fried dumplings, miso soup, 2 entrees and side dishes. For our entrees we ordered the Kalbi Gui Jungsik and the Tangsuyuk which translate to grilled beef and spicy pork with vegetables. We also on recommendation of some acquaintances ordered a seafood pancake.
The appetizers were delicious. The dumplings were crispy tasty bites filled with delicious beef. The seafood pancake was the size of a small pizza and was equally tasty. The side dishes came out in small plates but there were a lot of side dishes. Potatoes, broccoli, string beans, bean sprouts, kim chi and radish kim chi. There were jalapenos but I abstained.
The entrees were amazing. The beef. . .ZOMG the beef. Sweet savory and tender it's no wonder it's their biggest seller. The pork was spicy but not overpoweringly so. The veggies were without exception still crunchy and definitely fresh.
The rice was meh but honesty the rice only served as a sauce delivery mechanism for the pork.
Best part of all. . . the whole meal was 55 dollars and we ended up taking 3 boxes of food home. So it definitely is worth the expense.
Like I said we will be returning again and again and again as should you.
