We purchased the bibimbap (marinated beef and a marinated pork one - both the stone pot option which was $4 more than the non-stone pot one), and also one of the guksu-myun.

Special shout out to their in house kimchi, it's nothing short of amazing. The kimchi bulgogi jeon and the boneless fried chicken...
