A Korean restaurant nestled in a Chinese plaza. Not horrible, but nothing amazing either.
Pros:
Large amount of seating
Every item on menu comes with a picture
Cons:
Average, average, average
We were felling Korean and after passing by this place so many times we decided to give it a try. Walking in, you notice that this place is much bigger than it seems from the outside. There are a lot of seats here.
Opening the menu it's refreshing to see that the menu has pics for every single item they have. Korean restaurants almost always just use phonetics in English. It's always written Gamjatang and not spicy pork bone soup. If you're not familiar with Korean food most of the time it's guess work for you to determine what you're actually ordering.
We ordered the beef ribs, gamjatang and chicken ramen for our little one. Here's how they staked up:
Beef ribs: I use the steamed beef ribs at Song Cooks as my baseline. The ribs here were definitely not as tender. Imagine trying to eat not so tender meat with just chopsticks, not easy at all. It was a struggle throughout the meal. The taste was OK, a caramelized onion type of taste.
Gamjatang: The bones were half tender, could of been more if you ask me. The broth was right in the middle between rich and thin. It wasn't bad, but nothing special could be said as well.
Chicken Ramen: This one was the most disappointing to me. It was like eating instant noodles. My GF thought it was a bit better, but not by much.
This place just didn't do anything for me. The food wasn't bad, but like I said, it wasn't great either. It's the only Korean place in the area so it's got that going for it.
