| - The GF and I have a bit of a routine, where I ask "so what should we have for dinner tonight?" and she responds "something tasty!" This last time while I was visiting in Vegas, I was perusing Yelp for Korean food, and this place caught my eye. Mashisoyo literally translates to "it's delicious!" She begrudgingly went along (we had been visiting my parents the week before, so she was a little Korean fooded out).
In any case, this strip mall Korean seemed like a a family owned BCD Tofu House. I ended up getting the spicy tofu soup (seafood) and bulgogi combo, while the GF got the bulgogi entree. I'd definitely recommend the combos, as the price was only a few dollars more and I got probably 2/3 the bulgogi she did.
The Korean woman who was running the front of the house was very surprised when I asked for things by their Korean names, but was excited when she realized I was Korean. Kinda cute, and definitely that family owned feel.
The bulgogi was fine. The tofu soup seemed a little thin and watery to me, like they hadn't really simmered long enough to absorb the various flavors that make tofu soup one of my favorite dishes.
The space is small enough that I wouldn't be surprised to see some old school Korean guys in there yelling out "ah-jee-mah" to get the servers attention, just like they would have in Korea. I'm Westernized to the degree that I feel awkward doing this . . .
