| - Yes!!! This is what i'm talking about! Think "Modern Korean." Just think about that for a second. "Modern" but "Korean.." Who else is doing something modern?? Think think.. t h i n k. . . . .
Friend told me about this spot and said it was really good. Actually I think that's what she wanted to say because all i really heard was "tacos," and i immediately withdrew from the convo and came straight here. That's not what really happen, but it was something like that. Everything was a blur up until now. Crap, I think i even just pee'd a little.
Upon entry this restaurant is contemporary. A large layout with several compartments. A bar over here, a little room over there, and of course the main room. I had no idea what the whole concept was about; however, Jae, our server, was very helpful and offered some great suggestions. The menu is simple yet sophisticated serving modern dishes as well as traditional Korean dishes with a twist. Plenty of solid choices:
Fried Chicken $10: Loose pieces of Fried Ck perfectly battered over two piece of butterhead lettuce, mountain of julienne scallions, and a drizzle of sesame dressing. I really like this dish, but deep down i was begging for more of that sesame sauce. Just a bit more, so i don't have to clean the plate with my chicken bits. For some odd reason the taste reminded me of Mc'D ck nuggets but better.
Bulgogi Sliders $8: Perfectly marinated beef in a brioche. Good but for 8 dollars they should either add a 3rd slider or make it more meatier so you don't have to have a mouthful of bread. Comes with Ruffle Chips. I didn't bother to try but it better be made in house.
Spicy Korean Pork Tacos $9: What a surprise this was! Has an creamy avocado sour cream sauce, kimchi chutney (says in the description in the menu), and a special ssam sauce (that reddish Korean paste that you wrap your BBQ and lettuce in.) All that in a taco and it naturally work. If this was the only item served here i would not be mad at all. No water?? That's OK, I'll get a drink later! Oh and the weird thing was the Ruffle Chips somehow made its way onto this plate too. Who's in charge here?!
Bossam (traditional) $10: Braised Pork Belly. I don't know how this was supposed to taste like but i thoroughly enjoyed it. Sweet and bold fatty flavor in every bite and even better paired with the pickled radish.
Braised Short Ribs (traditional) $13: I couldn't taste much of this because they sprinkle some pine nuts all over it gAaahh. It looked rather small and the meat didn't seem that tender. I had a little taste and resembled beef stew.
Although for $10 a plate we're not getting much portion wise, but for the most part the imprints of the food left me curious for more. I'm already excited for my next visit. Would love to see a happy hour menu, and daily specials in the near future.
4/5 easy. Lose the chips, seriously.
*bonus* They have Solomon's Seal Tea. Drinking it with ice is so refreshing
