| - Was looking for a new place to get some Korean food and came across this place. Came here on a Monday on Boxing Day and decided on this place. From the outside, it just looks to be a place at the end of a plaza, but upon waking in you are presented with an entirely different atmosphere. For seating, it looks like there are two available options. There is the traditional sit down where you sit cross-legged at a table raised from the floor, have your shoes down on the floor. Or they have regular table seating which is what I opted for.
The wait time wasn't too bad. Took about 10-15 minutes with no reservation, but it looks like the place is pretty popular and usually takes reservations. Got sat down by our waiter and quickly got our Korean side dishes. For starters we got Kimchi, Turnip, Bean Sprouts, and also Bean Curd. We got our order quite quickly after ordered shortly after getting our appetizers and had hot tea offered at the get go.
Ordered some Tteokbokki, Gamjatang, Spicy Seafood Soup, Dolsot Bibimbap, and Jajangmyeon.
Tteokbokki:
Starting with the Rice Cakes they were cooked well to the perfect consistency and had a good sourish tomato based sauce to go with it. The Rice Cakes also had a hard boiled egg and some bean curd which went well with the sauce.
Gamjatang:
The Pork Bone soup bowl consisted mainly of a couple of pieces of Pork Bone that took up most of the sizzling bowl. I thought that having the Pork Bone made the broth provide a good burst of flavor as every sip was taken. The bean sprouts and green onion with the soup provided a little bit of a crunch to the taste. Had an excellent addition to brown rice ordered that was ordered.
Spicy Seafood Soup:
The seafood soup came in a sizzling presentation looked really good. From other places where I have gotten seafood soup, I felt that it could have had a bit more to offer when it came to seafood. There was a mussel or two, a few bay shrimp, and a few pieces of squid. The soup had the flavor enriched by the seafood but needed the rice to make it a fulfilling dish.
Dolsot Bibimbap:
The bibimbap came in really hot and had a little bit of beef on the side. The dish had a nice egg on the top to dispersed throughout the dish with mushrooms, carrots, cucumber, shredded seaweed, and shredded lettuce. Very much a balanced bowl and would be a great recipe to get as an all in one entree.
Jajangmyeon:
The Black Bean noodles came in with the noodles, sauce, and cucumber. Quite a potent dish and maybe a little too potent in Black Bean Sauce. They were quite good, but the dish tasted like it had a little bit too much salt.
Overall from my experience from the place the service was excellent, meals were adequate. The only thing was the price was a little bit steep for the meat. Most of the meat dishes ranged from $20-$60. Do I recommend this place? Yes to try at least once and get a pretty traditional experience, but the price is a little higher than other Korean restaurants. I would rate this place a 4 out of 5 due to the price.
