You know the saying.....you can judge your main dish by how great the side dishes taste. It's an older generation korean saying about how to judge a restaurant and their food quality.
Of all the Korean restaurants that I've been to, this place has to be the best in town! About 10 minutes from the strip, I highly recommend coming here for all your korean OR hawaiian food cravings. Of course being a Yelpy, I found this on my phone app and noticed their great ratings by a lot of people. Since bf loves hawaiian food and I absolutely need my kimchi fix at least once a day, this sounded like a perfect place to satisfy both our cravings.
Don't expect anything fancy. It's located in a ghetto strip mall with nothing so glitzy like the strip. But don't let that fool you! I was skeptical about how their food would taste like when both the server and the owner were NOT korean. However, once the big slab of kimchi came out along with the other side dishes, it was game over. Even my mom was very impressed with the way they make their kimchi. Then again, even my bf who doesn't EVER eat kimchi actually ate it! Now that's saying a lot about how great and awesome they prepare their kimchi.
My favorite was their radish kimchi. We asked for more to take it back to the hotel with us!
Oh yeah, haven't even said anything about the main dishes yet. lol My mom and I shared the hot stone pot rice with veggies. (dolsot bibimbap) which was surprisingly good. I especially loved the little pieces of marinated beef on top of the rice.
BF got the meat jun which he thought was very yummy. He gives it 5 stars! We also shared the fried dumplings and I loved the crispy won ton skin! The overall experience was very positive and satisfying. This is our Must Go to place in Vegas!
The owner said his wife makes EVERYTHING herself and they also have another restaurant inside the Greenland market nearby. Wish I can have her kimchi recipe. I miss it. I hope this restaurant stays for many more years to come so I can come visit whenever we're in Vegas!
