The opportunity presented itself and I absolutely had to try the samgeytang (ginseng chicken soup)!
Restaurant size:
Comfortable! Along one side of the restaurant are several booths which can seat around 4 each. On the other side is one long wooden-wall bench and separate tables.
Portion size:
Great assortment of banchan (appetizers) in the form of... kimchi, seaweed, spiced cucumber, sliced potato (?) and lettuce w/ black sesame dressing (?). The actual mains (samgeytang for me and hot soup tofu for my friend) were very adequate in filling and warming us up.
Food quality:
Very good in my perspective! The samgeytang wasn't salty (there is salt available for you to add), and I was able to enjoy the delicious ginseng taste. The chicken was ultra tender and was falling off the bones, making it a pretty easy meal.
Service:
Friendly staff, coming at the exact perfect times. One of the servers came by to check if we wanted a refill of banchan (YES PLEASE!). Since I ordered a dish with lots of bones, a mini waste basket was provided to use.
Final thoughts:
Making the left turn back onto Leslie will be a struggle, but before that time enjoy some delicious samgeytang and other Korean dishes! I'd definitely come back again to try dishes recommended by others! Hrmm...maybe it'll be my new Monday place?
