Disclaimer: I'm Korean and my hubby is not.
Pretty sure I know authentic korean food. Saw this as a hot new restaurant on yelp and had to try it out as my first korean food experience in Arizona.
Saw a picture that a fellow yelper had posted showing they had Poke bowls as a special. Hubby loves poke bowls and not so much love for korean food.
We drove over and when we walked in, we were greeted by a smiling young server named Eric. Nice guy who sat us and even apologized that they were out of diet Pepsi and offered diet coke which was fine for hubby.
I ordered the kimchee stew with pork belly which is my all time favorite comfort food dish. Hubby found out that they didn't have poke bowls today so Eric and I convinced him that the spicy chirashi bowl would be a great substitution.
Found out Eric was Chinese and not korean. When my pot came out, I realized it was soon tofu soup with kimchee instead of kimchee stew. I had ordered it by the korean name and he didn't understand it. He took it back right away and apologized. A nice lady came out and also apologized for the mix up. I felt bad but I'm not a fan of tofu soup. I was apologizing for not being clearer in my ordering. Hubby's chirashi came out and it was great with flavor and lots of fish. There were 8 banchan dishes of tempura, cucumber kimchee, kimchee, salty fish, broccoli, zucchini and a couple others. Nice variety but I love when they have egg and potatoes and dark on kimchee.
My kimchee stew came out and it was wonderful.
Huge restaurant that's very clean, has tvs and a peekaboo kitchen. Huge bar offering which Koreans love. Great menu that has a bit of everything.
Good pricing.
Kimchee stew: $9.99
Spicy chirashi: $12.99
Thanks for great customer service and good clean food.
Hoping someone ate that kimchee tofu the!
I will be back!
