| - Decent Korean food - yes please! Not the best Korean food of my life - but A-ok! I rounded up to 4 stars, because I know we will be back.
I was craving Asian food in general, and my husband suggested Korean. We settled on this place, knowing that it might be crowded due to lunar new year. We were pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't packed. Its a small establishment, two rooms, one with regular tables, and one with grill tables. We were fine with having the kitchen cook our BBQ, especially with a small child with grabby hands.
We got the seafood pancakes (meh), bulgogi (yum), and spicy pork (very spicy). The banchan was a good mix of spicy and cold options. I'm partial to the pickled options myself since Koren spicy tends to be a little too spicy for me, but since my husbands LOVES spicy its a pretty even split. One thing to keep in mind about the banchan is that its random. The kimchi and something pickled is standard, but the others tend to be based on whats available in the market and cheap.
My son was pretty good about eating whatever we put in front of him, and he loved eating from the chopsticks! The bulgogi is a great "intro" to Korean BBQ, its not spicy, usually very garlicy, and has a great flavor. The marinated meat is sliced really thin and grilled. It can have gristle, but I did not find that to be a problem here.
