We’ll be back.
I took a gamble on a dish called Jajangmyeon which sounded good, but ended up being a huge plate of noodles covered in a black sauce that overpowered the dish and made everything taste the same, so after a while I wasn’t enjoying it any longer. The fried egg was very tasty.
The menu itself was a bit confusing, as I was not familiar with the items listed. I don’t know a lot about Korean food, so having some pictures included would have helped me understand what I was ordering. Looking at the photos in other reviews, there is a lot here I would like to now try that I didn’t realize were available.
The staff were very friendly and efficient, and I appreciate the service of being able to order at the counter and having the food brought out, instead of having to be waited on.
The lady who took our order was very knowledgeable about the dishes they offer, how it compares to other dishes we might be used to (e.g. mandu is similar to dumplings at a Chinese restaurant), and skillfully articulated others.
Many other reviews suggest the service is bad because it is slow. While I agree, it took some time to get our food, I feel like this place is trying to get their footing. We learned this is the 2nd location (the first in Stevens Point). They wanted to offer a slightly different menu due to the fact that the kitchens are set up differently at each location (the Wausau location well equipped for soup but not fully suitable for other dishes). But they have learned/are learning over time what the Wausau crowd wants and plan to remodel/redesign the kitchen to suit the menu. I think it is important to be patient with new small local joints if we want them to succeed. If I thought it was a total flop, I’d say so. But I think this place has potential!
Since I haven’t really had Korean food before, I was more worried that I would order something I couldn’t eat. I like spicy food but scales can be different across cultures. I eat what our local Mexican restaurants say is #10 when it comes to the spice in my food. But that’s jalapenos. I don’t know what kind of spice is in Korean food. I landed on a dish that I saw on the Google Maps Menu that was not actually listed on the restaurant’s menu. The lady said this could be found in some cases because they are actively updating their menu to suit the crowd as stated above. So I ordered the mandu for a starter knowing I’d be safe with “dumplings” if things didn’t go my way. Then I went out on a limb and ordered Spicy Garlic Gangjeong ($17) which was AMAZING! “Boneless fried chicken and shrimp with a spicy sauce sauteed with garlic, scallions, and red bell pepper” that comes with a bowl of white rice (at diner’s request) or a bowl of fried rice for a $3 charge. My friend ordered the Bibimbap ($15): “A signature Korean dish served as a bowl of warm rice topped with namul (seasoned vegetables), ground beef, and a fried egg. It was delivered to the table on a tray with a side of kimchi and a small bowl of miso soup. She thought the dish was good but she absolutely LOVED the soup!
I foresee this place doing well once they get established and know their customer base. I feel by then they’ll have the place set up to serve their needs and employ more/enough friendly & helpful staff to ease the wait times from the kitchen and focus on table service. I’ll definitely be back.
