| - Tip: Apparently there is a huge lot around the back, West of the restaurant. Be sure to turn before the row of restaurants, otherwise you'll be doing a u-turn in a busy area!
Restaurant itself is bright, clean, newly reno'd. Initially, I thought Insadong took over Sikgaek, but it's actually just West.
Staff were very friendly, attentive, and asked how everything was at least 3-4Xs. So be prepared for that. At least they care and it does show.
Food, as per other reviewers, were better than your average Korean joint. We ordered Spicy Rice Cakes (app), Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), & the "plainer" Mandu Gook (white, non-spicy broth).
Bachans were ok, nothing really stood out/wasn't begging for refills.
I had to Yukgaejang and it was on the saltier side. So I can only assume that anything with that red, spicy broth would be salty as well. It was still tasty, especially on a cold Winter's day. Next time, I'll try the plainer Mandu Gook!
