| - I'm a recent transplant to the Glendale area, and was anxious to try this establishment. It absolutely did NOT disappoint.
I lived in S. Korea for two years, and miss the food like crazy. But not just the food--the feel, the service, the Korea-ness of dining out in Korea. I went in today for lunch, and it was like I had found a secret portal back to the awesome restaurant in my apartment building in Seoul. The way the restaurant is laid out, the K-pop on the speakers, MBC on the TV--it's as authentic as you can find in the US.
The food. I had the dol-sot (hot stone pot) galbi (pig rib) bi-bim-bap (mixed rice) and it was excellent. The side dishes were regular kimchi, bean sprout kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and pickled radish. I wish the kimchis had been spicier, but I imagine they're simplified a bit for American audiences.
I'll update my review after I get a chance to have the BBQ. $8 for samgyeopsol M-Thurs nights is a pretty good deal here in the states, and I'm excited to check that out.
