I got to say, Im glad I gave it a chance! Ordered the bibimbop with the “sizzling bowl” (an extra $2) and really enjoyed it. The meal came with what felt like a dozen appetizers for free and they said all meals come with that. They also refill them for free too. My favorite of these was the cilantro, whatever spices and sauces it had were delicious.
The food itself was great. This sounds oddly specific but it’s got to be one of the most perfectly cooked eggs i’ve seen in my life. Not burnt on the bottom, yet the whites fully cooked. Slightly runny yolk. Breakfast diners don’t even cook eggs this perfectly so I had to point it out.
The provided bottle sauce was slightly spicy so I only had a bit of it. Still tasted great and not overly spicy to where most people can’t tolerate it. Ended up asking for some soy sauce instead which fit my palette better.
After my meal I needed a to go container since I was pretty filled up! That shows me it’s a solid portion size for what you’re paying for. After tax, 20% tip, and everything together, I walked out paying a flat $26 for a single person. I’d say that’s reasonable! Not cheap by any means, but competitive to the restaurants on the same block that go north of $30-35 per person.
Service was great. Was seated instantly but to be fair it was almost empty when I went, close to 3pm when they close before dinner service. Not sure how packed they are at other times but I hope they are because they deserve it!
The staff came by often to check in, refill water, refill the side appetizer thingies, etc. No complaints there.
Atmosphere was nice. Nothing exceptional in terms of decor however I must say it was very very very clean. Funny enough I was sitting in a spot where I could see the rack of cleaning products and it was full of everything you could imagine. They definitely take cleaning seriously and everything was spotless and shiny.
Overall I’m not saying it’s the best place in Walnut Creek or somewhere everyone should go all the time. But if you’re craving something different, something new, and something good, I don’t think you can go wrong here. Do what I did, take a detour, and just try it. You won’t regret it!
(Update : the Korean noodle soup and kimchi fried rice was great!! )
My go to dish is the KALBI ribs, I order it all the time at any Korean restaurant. My kalbi came out sizzling which is to be expected. It looked so beautiful I couldn’t wait to take a bit of it. and it was good! It was hot, it was tender and oh so tasty.
I loved all the side dishes but i wish they had more variety. Like anchovies with jalapeño and spicy potatoes (just a suggestion:)). Oh by the way we ordered crispy chicken wings with sweet and tangy sauce. I love it the chicken is so crispy outside and hot and tender inside and that’s how these were, so good!
My friend also ordered the bibimbop which had about 12 different kinds of ingredients. Serve over rice is a bed of spinach, mushroom, julienned carrots, and bean sprouts with seasonal vegetables and more. So Yumm! This is a good vegetarian option.
Our server was nice, she kept our water cups filled. And gave us good recommendations on what to order.
