However, you'll be surprised of how little Korean restaurants there are that cater to non-Koreans.\n\nWith this experience I have with Korean restaurants, I found this one in Madison to be filled with surprises. It certainly sticks to its authenticity, but managed to gear towards non-Korean crowd with selection of menus that are friendly but not so easy to get by. Believe me, I've seen so many dishes served in Korean restaurants that are too sweet, salty, or spicy just to cover their lack of depth in flavor. \n\nI tried boodae jiggae (not sure if I spelled that correctly) whose broth was rich with excellent proportions of ingredients. I could taste seafood in there which might have been the base broth, but I could be wrong. Another dish I tried was spicy squid bulgogi, which I normally deter from ordering but my friend insisted on getting it. I was glad I did, and definitely was Bab Dodook - a term used when the dish is so good you keep on eating it with rice nonstop - its literal translation is \"rice thief.\"\n\nI gave 4 stars due to some of its limits - I think it can improve on decorations and overall ambiance as it progresses and menu can expand - find its specialty since I think the menus are fairly parsed out in terms of category. I loved the 'on the doma' theme and crave to see more of it!"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . .
