| - 3.5 review
Went here with 2 friends for an eating adventure, inspired by S.Korean Olympics.
Atmosphere: daytime, bistro-bar scene, lunchtime. 4/5
Service: Prompt, but slowed over the course. 3.5/5
Portions: 9x5 inch plate = big plate. Diet coke is per can.
Pork and shrimp potstickers - panfried, soft, filling is a good amount, fell apart a little in the dipping sauce. Medium salt. Don't forget about the shrimp flavor. 3/5
Fried Brussel sprouts and kale - they picked off each leaf from the brussel sprout and then fired it. The kale is paper crispy. I absolutely hate both of these ingredients, but in this dish, I like them. As my friend said, "it tastes like a funyon!" 5/5
Sweet potato bao - I really wanted dimsum, but the closest I could do here was a bao. After reading yelp reviews, I steered away from the chicken skin and went with sweet potato. WOW! Very unique and yummy. The potato was smooshed and in some sweet red sauce (like a "duck sauce" from Chinese takeout, but better). There were kimchi pickles, kewpie mayo (watch out MSG), and cilantro all between two fluffy baos (here: looks like sandwich top and bottom, but the same bao texture). Wanted more than two. 4/5
Drunken noodles - says spicy, but they can accommodate "not" spicy. I asked for "like a level one," and I got it. I could have handled one more hit of spice, but this was good without it. Wide noodles give some carb chew during the winter, and the shrimp are perfectly cooked with a touch of fried to crisp up the edges. The sauce has ground pork bits in it, which gave a nice flavor, but also added grease. My first drunk noodle but I liked it. My friends decided they did not like it because of a "fishy" hint. There was a little flavor of fish or oyster sauce in it, but I didn't mind it. And the shrimp were NOT the cause of the "fishy" flavor - they were perfect. 4/5
Dan Dan noodles - basically a pad thai. 3.5/5
Japchae - interesting. I usually hate glass noodles. They just look wrong, like that guy at the bar you have to side-eye all night. But everyone raves about them here and thankfully our group was adventurous enough to try it. First off, they use a thick bacon. So wham... you get a meaty, salty, smoky flavor on everything: noodles, veggies, and meat. Seriously, this dish is a 4x4 to your mouth. The veggies are chargrilled tasting and funny enough, this dish had the most veggies of anything we ordered: shitake mushrooms, peppers, onions, garlic, and ginger finely chopped. It was overly salty for me, but overall, the most interesting dish. 3.5/5
Sujeo was a good lunch. Maybe it's not the best in Madison, but it tasted darn good to us. I think the biggest downfall is the price. I know I can get "darn good" at some other places in town, for less salt and cheaper.
