| - The first time we came by this place it was New Year and they were close . So we went elsewhere. We came here expecting a restaurant . We were wrong . It's a small place with a cafeteria counter of sorts . Greeted by a very welcoming grandpa . He said to take a seat if there are any available , who by the way speaks very good English and has a good sense of humour ( that's something ) . They were definitely hoping for a take out business as there are only 5-6 seats . The rest of the space was prep, kitchen and storage . Just about everything you order on the menu was prepared fresh so there will be a bit of wait. So wait we did , the wait is worth it though . As the name suggested the dishes were 100% Korean in taste . We had the beef rice bowl as was recommended by most and after tasting it we understood why. Albeit a bit small we had opted to stay and eat in. The dish was served in a clay bowl from direct heat. you can actually hear sizzles and popping . Beefbowl was not what I'd expected . It's made of rice at the bottom , Jap Chae , vegetables , 2pcs wonton , stir fried beef , fish cakes, sauce fried rice noodles and seaweed nori (whew) in one bite it makes a good perfect bite . The portion was quite large fed 2 hungries quite well all for $7.95 . We paid for the bill on our way out , thinking it was self service I was carrying my empty tray out but Grandpa stopped me and I will quote him "Put it down , that's my Job" . This place may be tiny but service clearly is top notched ! Very hospitable and quick on his feet you can tell from actions he has some good stories to tell . I think he brings the charm to the business .
The only down side I feel from my experience is because of two who seemed to be hired part time help students . They didn't know what they seem to be doing . From the looks of it they were more a hindrance than a help to the daughter who runs the small kitchen . Because it was a tiny and open place you can see everything during prep and my head cringes every time either of them slows down the process . the two need to be taught a thing or two about sanitation, food presentation
Alas , I now itch to try their other dishes Would want to try the other dishes .
