| - I live in the US, and I think this place has great Korean food for the Korean palate. I've been there four days in a row for lunch. Tried hot stone rice - dolsot bibimbop - compared to all the Korean restaurants in Los Angeles, it's comparable - tasty... But this is a simple dish, difficult to screw up. Tried two soups - yujgae jang (spicy beef soup) and galbi tang (beef rib soup) - both standards and flavorful. And I've also tried the Bibim naengmyun - pretty good, just a tad too sweet for me, but good. Can't complain. And similar to other Korean restaurants in Los Angeles, they bring you a selection of free side dishes - rashish kimchee, cabbage kimchee, parboiled marinated mung bean sprouts, and one other that seems to rotate. One day they served fish cakes which were very good. It's also authentic Korean food, meaning they are not making it so that it appeals to Caucasians palates - it's straight Korean. Whoever is cooking in the kitchen is doing a fine job. My husband is Caucasian, and I think he would definitely like the soups and the Galbi and spicy pork... I saw it being brought out...looked good. Why am I not giving it a 5?... I save that for my mom's Korean cooking. Also, the place is very private in that all the tables are enclosed with high walls, so you can't really tell how many people or who are dining there. Will definitely go back when I'm in Calgary next. I thought it was way better than Bulgogi Bowl on 17th which caters to a much more Caucasian clientele.
