| - They're a solid 3.5 but I'll tend down toward the 3 just because the dinner prices are pretty high--I've heard lunch is a good $5 cheaper so we'll have to head back to check it out.
When we walked in, we were the only completely non-Asian table, which seemed to be a good sign. We were promptly poured hot tea, and given water upon request (yeaaaah some habits die hard). We opted for a spicy pork belly dish (tasty, although not super spicy) and bibimbap. The bibimbap was very flavorful, and the housemade gochujang (occupying large ketchup-style bottles on the table) was really tasty--I was tempted to pour some out into my doggy bag! My biggest critique was that despite being served in the traditional iron pot, the bottom rice was not anything close to crunchy, which is one of my favorite parts of the dish. There was also not very much meat in this dish.
The banchan were good--we were pleasantly surprised to receive it without ordering a tableside cooked item. However, most, if not all, of the items were pickled--no steamed eggs, japchae, or jeon. I'm not sure if these offerings rotate or if this is all they ever have.
At any rate, we'll be back for lunch, and possibly with a group to try some of the tableside-cooked food...but I miss Flushing!
