Maybe they added a few items, but it still feels like a relatively limited menu, just now they also serve cocktails, wine, and soju.\n\nI've tried the bibimbap, bulgolgi, dukbokki, japchae, and two of their noodle soups. I feel like they used the right ingredients but the execution is a little disappointing. Almost everything I tasted, but especially the banchan, is too salty for me. Actually, the gimbap was okay. \n\nFinally, the seating arrangement can be crowded; either the layout is odd, or the acoustics are weird -- you can basically hear everyone else's conversation. If you're seated toward the back, the bussing station can get loud, I almost jumped out of my seat when they were putting away plates. Also, for some reason it was so chilly I almost felt like I had to keep my winter jacket on, even though I was eating hot soup. I wonder if they had a door open out back or just had the heat off?"^^ .
