My friend and I were meeting in the area and we got a recommendation for this place. Did not know it was open 24 hours! The place was insanely busy with people waiting outside for tables. We got there early so we didnt have to wait long (around 6:30pm), but by the time we were leaving, there were a lot of people waiting.
The inside is pretty cool with people eating hot pots, sharing food at the elevated tables so you need to take off your shoes, and a different area for shoes on.
Our service was was quick and to the point. When we sat for a little too long for their taste, we were handed the bill on the table without words. HST is included - wow!
I was surprised that the menu had simplified chinese on it, and thought maybe this place was run by mainland Chinese, but it's hard to tell if were because all the servers were korean and everything felt it (joint venture? Great marketing?)
My friend had a dumpling soup ($8). The dumpling was just okay but the soup was really good. I had the kalbi (beef short ribs) ($19) and it came on a sizzling plate with scissors. The portion was large but i thought i wouldnt be able to finish everything when it came, but oh I totally did.
Really liked the place!
