Value (1-5): 2
New joint at the M. New signs interested me as I typically drive by on a regular basis. Korean fusion food is no stranger to me, and this place seemed way closer than KoMex, so I decided to give it a shot with my g/f. Oh, there's sushi apparently too.
The food:
Spicy Tuna Roll: Not bad, not great. Pleasant amount of spicy, but seemed a bit small for the price.
Surf and Turf Roll: Pretty good. Seems more substantial than the Spicy Tuna roll. Definitely offers more flavor, yet fairly well balanced.
Korean Street "Tacos" : some assembly required. decent appetizer dish. that sauce is amazing. Don't expect to be filled with this. 3 "tortillas" only.
5 Spiced Duck Sliders: Two small bao. intensely flavored. seems there is an addition of some sort of wine to the ingredient list. that particularly stuck out at me.
Kimchi fried rice: Likely the highlight of the dinner. Pleasantly spicy, rich tasting. The rice has a sort of "doneness" that makes it slightly "crisp" so that it sticks a little bit to your molars when you're munching away at it.
The Service:
No problems. Food arrived in an appropriate amount of time. Seemed typical to me. Fairly attentive.
The Ambiance:
Mildly noisy. Was a fairly busy night, but nothing close to a rock concert.
Conclusion:
While understandably more upscale than say, KoMex, having twice the price and half the food seems a bit short on value when taste is nearly the same.
