***YELP 100 CHALLENGE 36/100***
Don't get me wrong, the food isn't bad at all, but I wouldn't say it's the best either. What turned me off was the price point.
We went last Sunday, a little after they opened at 1. We were the first customers that day, when we walked in a younger lady was sitting by the kitchen just staring at us. It was kinda awkward for a minute since she didn't say anything, then a middle aged man walks up to welcome us and led us to a table of our choice. The place is tiny yet cozy, feels like home in a way.
Nothing in the menu really stood out for me, there wasn't really much to choose from. I'm not into Korean soups but I do like Korean BBQ and bibimbap. We decided on an order of Bulgogi, Korean spicy pork and Kimchi fried rice. Both the meat dishes were flavorful, of the two I like the spicy pork the best. It was sliced very thinly almost like bacon slices with just the right amount of heat which was perfect for me since I don't really like spicy food all that much. The Kimchi fried rice wasn't up to par at all, I can say in all honesty that what I make at home tastes way better than what was served. 4 out of the 6 banchan was good so no complaints there.
So for 2 dishes, Kimchi fried rice and 3 drinks, the total came out to $55 including a 20% tip, roughly $15 per meat dish which is kinda high in my opinion especially when there's plenty of competition around, for the same amount of food and quality for $3 less.
