| - I had high hopes for this place, as korean restaurants are a dime a dozen in this area. After a Volleyball game, my team and I, (mostly korean) decided to give this place a try. Only do it if your into mediacore and overhyped food, and ghastly atmosphere. they really gotta focus on their concept....Korean Cowboys? I think the only thing Cowboy related was the Sawdust Chicken.
We Ordered a round of drinks, all were from tap and the regular coors and canadians were not available. You do have somersby on Tap, with a soju somersby mixer combo which was actually quite good and interactive. on to the food...
kimchi fries. i didn't know if they were fries, or slivers of potato. the dishes were fantastic, whats in them, i was a little bit confused. it was over bearing with the sauce and I didn't see any kimchi. (and i eat a lot of kimchi)
sawdust chicken. where to start. The garnishing with the vegetables and garlic flakes were actually really good. The chicken was over cooked and almost completely just batter. this ones a miss, good concept and good try though.
I don't remember what its called on the menu, but the spicy rice cake, or dukbokki was not up to par to other korean restaurants. poorly spiced and proportionately small, there was maybe 5 pieces of the rice cake and everything else was fillers of vegetables.
I got recommended the Squid and Pear Anju. Gave it a shot. again, good attempt, but its not a homerun. the pear was fresh and fantastic, but the squid placed on top of the sliced pears (similar shape to the kimchi fries) with Chamkirum sauce was, a poor attempt to sweeten a korean classic. Live San Nakji. (live squid dish)
disappointing. they're gonna have to do a huge revamping of the menu and concept of their place, cause it just wasn't working.
on a side note, their cheese corn, something you can't mess up, was delicious! the addition of peppers into their corn hot pan was actually a great treat.
I will not, and cannot at the moment recommend.
