From the outside to when I first walked in it was a dive with many Asian people inside. I know this was going to be a treat. Either good or ugly.
Started off with 4 banchans. Daikon radish kimchi, napa cabbage kimchi, caramelized sweet potato, pickled daikon & miso soup. The soup rich in flavor and not overly salty. Can have free refills on the banchan. Both kimchis were good put not much heat. The pickled daikon was sweet and vinegary and the sweet potato was a little weird cause it was like eating cold sweet potato fries.
The Tukbokgi was my favorite. Excellent sweet/spice sauce with chewy rice cakes & fish cakes. Yet again not as spicy as I would have liked it to be. You do get gochujang on the side in a squirt bottle, but that doesn't have much kick for me. Then I had the Rock Cooker Bibimbop. I put a little gochujang in it & mixed it all up. Love the crispy rice on the bottom & how the fried egg on top somewhat scrambles when you mix it up. Almost ends up being fried rice dish with spicy ketchup.
To drink I got Korean Corn Tea. WOW. Intense corn flavor. Nutty & sweet. There was actual roasted corn kernels on the bottom of the cup.
Service was friendly and on top of refilling the water & banchan. One thing I didn't like was that they give you wood chopsticks to use. When scraping the rice off the rock cooker they started to splinter.
If you want killer heat go to K Peppers. They also have stainless steel chopsticks.
