The food here was amazing! The Golden king Mandoo was my favorite. Its the "dumpling ball" you see in anime. We got them fried and they had a beautifully crisp outside but the breading itself inside was super soft, Airy' and fluffy. the pork mixture filling was soft and savory and just melted in the mouth. I normally don't like dipping sauces but the sauce served with it perfectly elevated the dish to a different level with it slightly sweet flavor to complement the lightly salty flavor of the breading. However do not take it as the breading is salty it's not it's simply from where it's fried that gives it that salty flavor.
My husband got the Yong youm chicken, sorry if I misspelled that, it had a sweet honey like flavor, with a very slight smoke taste to it. It was nice and crispy. I don't know what it is about Asian Cuisine but it makes me like sweet Savory Foods whereas Western Cuisine does not do that for me.
I got the kimchi and pork stew it was exactly what I was craving when I wanted kimchi's soup. I got the spicy variant, though honestly it would be spicy to most American palettes wasn't that spicy for me, but it did have a really nice kick and it would definitely help you clear out your sinuses. They have a medium version that I feel that any less spice than what I had just wouldn't be spicy at all unless you really cannot tolerate spicy food.
I base that on the side dishes that you get when you first sit down at the table those being kimchi, cucumbers, and bean sprouts. The kimchi did not have any spice to it whatsoever from what I could taste though my husband said he did get a little kick from it. All in all this is now my go to restaurant for Korean food particularly kimchi soup. It's not Korean BBQ as self-serve barbecue place like, I think pork 27, up in Atlanta Georgia but you're not going to spend like $200 on really good food here like you would there.
Also I didn't get any, I noticed that they sell bubble tea here. I know there are some people that really love the stuff and I didn't notice it on the menu pictures and stuff when I was looking up a...
Read moreThis restaurant usually has really good food and so so service. Tonight both the food and service were bad not just for us but for multiple tables.
There was only one very overwhelmed server in the front of house. For the first 30 minutes we waited without any acknowledgment even though he had gone to every other table twice. I finally went up to the register and said I know it’s pretty busy in here tonight can I just give you my order here. He said “ oh sorry, I forgot about you”.
My order wasn’t to complex , I just asked for no rice. I follow a strict keto for cancer diet. I even reiterated just meat and vegetables. Fast forward another twenty minutes to the server coming out to the table beside us saying” you have been here a long time what did you order.” They told him and he came back a few minutes later and said they had lost the ticket and would be starting on their food next. He offered a free appetizer as a nice gesture for the mistake. We had the same thing happen to us last time. Apparently whatever ticketing method they use is problematic.
So out comes our food, my husbands is fine but mine was no meat, and vegetables burnt to the hot plate. I mean burned so bad you couldn’t even stir them. I asked where my meat was and why did my plate have rice. He went back and after about ten minutes he brought half a cup of meat, possibly six ounces out. By this time my husband had finished eating and I had finished as many non scorched vegetables as I could pry from the char. I asked for a a little more meat for my trouble since what I received looked like a half portion of what I normally get. The lady in the kitchen said No that I already had enough.
So I paid full price for a burnt incorrect meal with poor service unlike the table next to me who was offered apologies and free food.
I can take service being slow and I don’t expect every meal to be perfect but the customer service after the fact left the most bitter...
Read moreMy Review is on the sole basis through the vicarious experience through my family, especially from my sister, therefore I say the restaurant is simply DELISH....so much Korean goodness that will devour your entire soul and envelopes your entire body to the Korean experience. This is how I imagine it: As I enter the restaurant my ears will tingle to the melodic symphony of K-POP while its rythm slowly manipulates my body to do a little dance. As I step closer to my table my nose begins to fill with sweet aroma of bulgogi and my belly begins to quiver in anticipation for my next Korean meal. I look through the menu and ordered..."beef bulgogi please with short bbq ribs and Kim chi soup...oh don't forget about the Kim bop too please.!" I sat there for what seemed an eternity, just waiting and waiting as I resist the temptation to dance and sing aloud to "Gangnam Style"...I almost faltered through PSY's dashing moves but alas the food finally arrived!!! My first bite was ambrosial...an enchanting delicacy as the bulgogi began to envelope my tunque and consumed my body. It was an indescribable feeling...shining shimmering feeling. A Whole New World! A thrilling chase, A wondrous place, dazzling place I never knew! It's crystal clear that now I'm in a whole new world with unbelievable tastes, an indescribable feeling! Soaring, tumbling,freewheeling through an endless deliciousness and I can't go back to where I used to be, it's truly a whole new world with new tastes to pursue! Every moment is a surprise! There is no time to spare I need to be there! Because it is a whole new Korean experience...
