The menu has a lot of sushi options, which is expected from a Korean-Japanese fusion. On the flip side, it seemed like there were not many Korean entrees to choose from. We opted not to try their sushi and just ordered our main dishes instead.
We were given various side dishes: salad, sweet potatoes, sesame chicken, broccoli, and kimchi. Sadly, I think the side dishes were the best part of our experience. The sweet potatoes were great and the sesame chicken was a good appetizer as well. The kimchi was a little too sour for my taste.
I ordered the Bibimbop, which is a cold dish. Rice comes in a small tin and you are also given Gochujang sauce to drizzle over the dish. If you want the hot version of this dish, opt for the Dolsot Bibimbop, which comes in a hot stone pot. The Bibimbop tasted fine but was nothing to write home about. There wasn’t much flavor to the dish at all. I would recommend trying something else on the menu if you’re looking for flavor. If you want something just to fill your stomach, this dish may do the trick, though the price tag may not warrant it.
We also ordered the Pork Katsu. I only had one piece of the katsu but the general consensus was that the sauce was too sweet, or otherwise off-putting, and did not complement with pork katsu at all. The pork itself was cooked well, but the sauce did not suit the dish. Do note that the Pork Katsu dish comes with a small cup of miso soup on the side.
Overall, if you’re looking for a good Korean restaurant in the area, unfortunately, I would recommend you to keep searching. The poor service along with the up-marked yet subpar food made this a regrettable and forgetful visit.
The restaurant is trying to look a bit more upscale than it has in the past, but it’s not quite hitting the mark. The decor is generally nice, but things like the small drink fridge in plain site (and the fact that drinks are served in bottles and cans) along with the paper napkins rolled with a spoon and wooden chopsticks bring it back down a notch or two. As do the look of the menus.
Unfortunately the prices in this menus match the high end look they are gunning for with the atmosphere. These meals are pricey, rest assured, and it looks like the prices often go up. The menus are covered in pieces of white tape with new prices hand written on them, and there’s even a note on the front of the menu (I believe) saying prices are subject to change.
My son and I both had the seafood sundubu, which is a soft tofu stew/soup that is served with rice. It was fine. Maybe good? A bit under-seasoned, probably, but not dramatically so. The Korean side dishes that came out before the main course were all pretty good, though. So that certainly helps.
In the end, though, it’s just too expensive for a place that lands somewhere between good and fine. There’s not enough value to cover the price. The extra fee for paying by credit card didn’t help there, either.
