For starters:I am an american that grew up in a very korean dense population. My best highs chool girl riend's family ran the best Korean restuarant in town so i am a bit spoiled. That being said, I hadn't had any korean food in about 5 years, I started having cravings that wouldn't go away. Bulgogi and kimchee are my favorites. I suggested Korean food for a date one night.
Atmosphere: Was fine,very casual nothing to write home about american family resturant style. I had REALLY hoped for table top cooking because I think it is just more fun that way. makes things more festive. I also like a bit more traditional korean decor.
Service: I had a Teenage Korean American girl who spoke perfect english and was polite but not very attentive. She looked like she hated her after school job.
Food: It was good but not great. We both ordered Bulgogi Which came in HUGE piles on sizzling plates witha layer of White onion underneath.the flavor was good but it was bit dry. The Side dishes were excllentt, I loved the Kimchee(the white radish and cabbage),potatoes and the sprout salad. Yummy.
Wine: First time I had korean wine at all. We chose the rice wine that came in a wooden bown. We both loved this. My date is Indian and they have a regional drink that is identical he was so excited when he realized. It was sweet mild and I really liked it
Overall, I liked the place and would definitely go back.
We are trying a new Korean Place tonight so I am interested to see how they match up.
