📍22453 Katy Fwy, Katy, TX 77450 💰$$ 🌟Korean Cuisine | Lunch | Dinner Today, I was in the Katy area and decided to try this Korean restaurant recommended by a Korean friend. The overall vibe is very "homey." The flavors are simple but genuine, making it perfect for when you crave a warm bowl of soup or a comforting meal. Stone Pot Bulgogi Bibimbap 🌟🌟🌟 The pot rice is crispy, and when you mix everything together, each bite has a great texture. The bulgogi has a slight sweetness, which pairs well with the various side dishes. The overall flavor is quite rich. Beef Short Rib Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The beef bone broth is very aromatic. The soup includes glass noodles, which help to balance the richness, making it not too greasy. A bowl of this in winter would be super comforting—I highly recommend it! Spicy Seafood Soft Tofu Stew 🌟🌟 I found this dish to be just okay. The tofu is smooth, and the seafood portions are generous, but the broth is a bit too salty, not spicy enough, and lacks some depth of flavor. It feels like it’s missing something. I have to give special praise to the kimchi! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 There are many varieties, and each one is flavorful with just the right level of fermentation. It’s the kind of taste that grows on you the more you eat. Overall, the main dishes are quite good, with the soups and pot rice having a consistent flavor. This is the kind of homey Korean cuisine that even Koreans would enjoy. The kimchi is a big plus. It’s perfect for when you want to try some authentic Korean food without it being too heavy. #food #KoreanCuisine #HiddenGems #StonePotBibimbap #StudentDining #FoodExplorer #Houston #HoustonDining #HoustonFood
