Reviews
If I had to nitpick, the kimbap really should have been rolled tighter and rice bit more flavored? It was pretty cold inside (outside was mid 50’s), wear something warm.
The bulgogi and kimchi tacos were very hearty with a warm smokey flavor. Sliced cabbage covered in a sweet and spicy mayo and gochujang sauce was a brilliant addition to the meaty bulgogi.
My baby was also welcomed with a fancy highchair with his own table connected to it.
My only caveat about the interior is that you had better love K-Pop and be ready to sacrifice having much conversation because it’s a little too much to talk over, for me anyway. (I do love K-Pop but wouldn’t have minded it a tad lower). The big screen with the music videos was a fun touch as well.
I arrived around 2PM on a Wednesday and my food came out fast and was very fresh. I heard them pounding the pork for the mozzarella donkatsu in the back when I arrived. I really enjoyed the finely sliced/shredded coleslaw which was an enjoyable side to the donkatsu. As noted in another review, the mozzarella was plentiful and yet did not overwhelm the pork. It was the perfect balance of crunchy and gooey. The sauce which seemed to be BBQ based, was light in flavor and perfect for dipping.
The tteok bokki was just right, not too hot not too sweet. The fishcakes were not too fishy either. I enjoyed the little side dish of house made kimchi and some pickled radish slices as I ate through my meal. I was a little confused by the small bowl of very weak room temperature broth brought with the tteok bokki. I should have asked if it was supposed to be heated up, (which would have made it a little better to cleanse my palatte with IMO.) Overall, very happy with the quality of everything from start to finish and cannot gripe too hard on the broth, but a better version of that element would have made it perfect. Will be back again with friends for sure.
*** Update: I have been back multiple times and I enjoy it thoroughly every time, as do my friends. They did lower the volume of the music a bit which was so nice. Chef William is always friendly and inviting, just as the name of the restaurant indicates. And I always enjoy my exchanges with Engara (sorry if I spelled that wrong!). OiSO continues to be a pleasant and charming food experience for me and I will happily frequent the establishment as often as I am able.
My wife and I order the Bulgogi Cup Bop, Spicy Pork Kimbop, and the Mozzarella Donkatsu. The mozzarella was so fresh. I was so surprised to hear that all the food is made in house! You can taste how fresh all the food is and feel the love that is put into each dish. Eating the food and speaking to the staff gave us an at-home feeling. The atmosphere made it such a pleasant place. We are so thankful for this experience.
On a side note, I really appreciate how clean the restroom was. It smelled fresh and was so nice inside. It really speaks to the owner’s attention to detail in everything. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
