Menu doesn’t show it, but the proprietor (waiter?) strongly steered us toward the noodles (homemade) and dumplings bc we spoke Chinese. Understandable: Korea is decidedly near Northern China (which features dumplings & noodles for ots cuisine).
We asked for low (or no) spice since we had an elderly person with us who couldn’t ingest spice. As a result, absolutely every dish lacked flavor. From the Dry Zahjian noodles to the dumplings to the Mingolian Beef. When I added the table hot pepper paste, things got a bit better. Instructive, and we may give them another shot at us and let them deploy the full flavor.
The noodles themselves were really good. Somewhat chewy and authentically homemade. But the Zhejiang sauce was too dark, too plain, and the other ingredients (classically this should have been full of ground pork) were notably absent. Gow choy shrimp dumplings were a tad bland (needed more salt in the stuffing).
The Pork Knuckles (appetizer) were supposed to be cold. But they served it straight from the refrigerator, so it was COLD, and anappetizing. Actually pretty well flavored (five spice), but tough. Pork knuckles need to be cooked thoroughly so they melt in your mouth, not be a challenge for your molars!
Mongolian Beef really lacked flavor, and the beef was overdone (also not well cut, so it emphasized the doneness). The onions and scallions were well flavored and well cut – had the beef been more tender, this would’ve been good.
The only dish that was well executed in full was the baby bok choy. Slightly crisp at the stem and the low-salt approach helped the fresh vegetable stand out.
Disappointing. Was really hoping to have discovered yet another good new restaurant. May give them another chance after 6 – 8 months, when they’ve had a chance to mature – if they stay that long.
Favorite dishes included the Jjamppong 炒碼麵(sadly forgot to take pics), which has so much seafood and flavor as well as the Jajangmyeon. Cabbage was pretty standard, but the wings were good. Will definitely come back!
