| - I really wanted to love this place and am still going to give it 4* because of the dish my husband ordered. There was about a 45 minute wait when we got there...no big deal, we waited it out at the bar.
We had the Ddeokbokki appetizer, which was actually very, very good. Not fishy at all and very flavorful.
I had the Lechon Kawali and it was ok. The pork belly was kind of dry, but the tomatoes were as fresh and as ripe as they are in the summer. Overall, a decent dish, but probably not something I would order again.
My husband had the Bokkeumbap and was absolutely IN LOVE with his dish. It was incredibly flavorful, slightly spicy, smoky.. a "party in your mouth" as he described it. I highly recommend this dish.
I guess part of my disappointment with this place was that our waiter didn't really seem to know his stuff. On top of that, we went two days after New Year's Eve and they were trying to sell the rest of their NYE feature, suckling pig. Our waiter completely failed to mention it to us. It's been on my husband's bucket list of food to try, so we probably would have ordered it if we had known about it.
Overall it was a decent experience, but didn't knock my socks off.
