| - Despite this restaurant being open for a while now, this was my first time trying it. The food was so good, I'm surprised I didn't hear about this place earlier! Perhaps its the name of the restaurant. I was actually recommending this restaurant to someone else yesterday, and had quite a bit of difficulty communicating the restaurant name. I'm sure in Korean it is probably less of a weird mouthful of words.
I'm surprised that people were told not to take pictures. My friend Jess and I took lots of pictures and nobody came to give us any trouble. We even asked one of the waitresses to take pictures of us in them!
After we ordered the waitress brings us a huge pot (not those usual tiny petri dishes) of store made kimchi. It was some of the best I've had; it was sweet and didn't have the strong potent smell that is sometimes too much for me to handle.
We ordered a table top (shabu shabu) cooking for 2 ($14.99 per person portion, and you need to order at least 2 portions), which had a good mixture of vegetables, thinly sliced beef, glutinous dumplings, and noodles. Really good quality ingredients, and the noodles that come with it are exceptional! We cooked them last so they would soak up all the flavours from the soup. yums!
On top of that we ordered Mixed dumpling and rice cake soup ($8.99). The waitress thought we were crazy for ordering more food on top of the shabu shabu, but we couldn't resist! Like others say, these dumplings are gigantic! They are jam packed with ground pork, shredded egg, seaweed, and other good stuff. Absolutely loved this!
At the end of it, my friend and I left very full and happy :)
